The Part 3 AGP – AGP 3: Truth in Advertising?: Geography As An Applied Science
This assignment is designed to put geography in action. Geography is a highly applied science that has great relevance to the events and activities that surround us daily.
This assignment is to be written from the perspective of a geographer. Throughout this essay you must have explicit discussion of and use of geographic analysis – terms and approaches such as: spatial analysis, spatial distribution, spatial variation, spatial diffusion, where and why, human environment interaction, pattern, process, etc.
It is vital that you explore this topic within a geographic framework. It must be absolutely clear that this is a paper written for a geography course. You should explicitly discuss the geographic perspective and use spatial analysis to explore your topic.
I am most interested in your ability to demonstrate your understanding of geography (themes, concepts, and approach), and your ability to apply that geographic understanding to the given AGP topic.
**Read the additional instructions in the AGP section on the Course Syllabus.**
