The Internet presentation of the learning resources for Economic & Business Geography and of the syllabus for this class, particularly the interconnected, "hypertextual" nature of the organization of course materials, may convey the impression of an excessively demanding and complex class. Once you get the "hang" of clicking your way from place to place, you will appreciate the quantity and detail of useful information about this class and its content and the simplicity of its logistics.
Should you ever get lost among the pages in this class-specific and program-specific resource system, scroll to the bottom of the page you are in and "return to" the Economic & Business Geography (Home) Page or any other higher level page which gets you back to the material for this particular class (faculty.washington.edu/krumme/207). Another alternative way to find your bearings is to visit the SITE MAP or the Search Page.
This Internet presentation comes to you courtesy of a large amount of your instructor's "spare time". Please accept the challenge of this new communications medium, its still experimental use in this class, and the fact that electronic transactions and telecommunications services are part of our concern in Economic & Business Geography; try to understand the benefits and drawbacks of this educational technology, make suggestions for its improved use and, as an up-and-coming economic geographer, experiment yourself with the substitution of physical and virtual forms of spatial interaction. Most of all: Enjoy!
When you take a class in Economic & Business Geography, it is assumed (unless you tell me otherwise) that you begin a relationship with this field which lasts longer than one quarter. As a student of Economic & Business Geography, you begin to learn how to learn geographic facets and perspectives of the economy. It is hoped that while you address increasingly complex problems during your academic career (and beyond), you will frequently return to this field and these pages, maybe even consider them your "home base".
