AP Human Geography The
objective of AP Human Geography is to introduce you to the systematic study of
patterns and processes that have shaped human understanding, use, and
alteration of Earth’s surface. You will be expected to employ spatial concepts
and landscape analysis to examine human social organization and its
environmental consequences. You will also learn about the methods and tools
geographers use in their science and practice. This course is taught at the
college level. The biggest difference between a high school and college
geography course is the amount of reading and depth of focus. Moreover, the AP
curriculum stresses a large degree of higher order thinking skills within a
rigorous academic context. Thus, the student will be required frequently to
analyze, synthesize, and evaluate raw statistical data, charts, maps, and human
patterns in addition to memorizing, comprehending, and applying facts.
