Note:
We already know that there are differences between rural and urban areas however do you know the importance of where economic activity happens? This class addresses two key questions: where economic activity occurs and why? To answer that, students will learn how to use a mapping software to create and understand maps, to recognize economic differences between different areas (with focus on rural) and to understand relationships between places. At the end of the class, the students will know how to use another software and to look at economic maps in a more critical way. All work happens in class. No homework. No previous experience required.
