1.0 High School Human Geography Credit | AP-Level | College-Prep

Course Overview

AP Human Geography covers a broad spectrum of authentic challenges that our world is facing today through the lenses of economic, cultural, political, and urban geography. As your teacher, I endeavour to uptake a spatial and problem-oriented approach giving you scope to grasp concepts and disciplines to its entirety.

The seven units in AP Human Geography, and their weightings on the multiple-choice section of the AP exam, are listed below.

Units Exam Weighting

  1. Thinking Geographically 8-10 %
  2. Population and Migration
    Patterns and Processes 12-17%
  1. Cultural Patterns and Processes 12-17%
  2. Political Patterns and Processes 12-17%
  3. Agriculture and Rural Land-Use
    Patterns and Processes 12-17%
  1. Cities and Urban Land-Use
    Patterns and Processes 12-17%
  1. Industrial and Economic
    Development Patterns and
    Processes 12-17%

Case studies will be drawn from all regions across the globe. Examples of topics that will be covered in the above units include the following:

 Problems of economic development and cultural change.
 Consequences of population growth, changing fertility rates, and international migration.
 Impacts of technological innovation on transportation, communication, industrialisation, and other aspects of human life.
 Struggles over political power and control of territory.
 Conflicts over the demands of ethnic minorities, the role of women in society, and the inequalities between developed and developing economies.
 Why location matters to agricultural land use, industrial development, and urban problems.
 The role of climate change and environmental abuses in shaping the human landscapes on Earth.

The goal for the course is for students to become more geoliterate, more engaged in contemporary global issues, and more informed about multicultural viewpoints.

Course Workload

Students should expect to do 3 hours of learning per week in addition to the one-hour long class.

Exam Overview

The exam is 2 hours and 15 minutes long and includes 60 MCQs equating to 50 % of the weighting and 3 free-response questions equating to the other 50% of the weighting respectively.

Course Skills and Prerequisites

The course content is intended to help students develop the following skills:

 Spatial relationships – via maps and geospatial technologies in specified context.
 Data and source analysis- delving into quantitative and qualitative geographical data sets.
 Critical thinking of texts and graphic images- interpreting cultural landscapes.
 Application of geographic concepts and processes- scale, region, diffusion, interdependence and spatial interaction.

Students will see geography as a discipline relevant to the world in which they live; as a source of ideas for identifying, clarifying, and solving problems at various scales; and as a key component of building global citizenship and environmental stewardship.

This AP is approved by the College Board.

    He thoroughly enjoys the way the teacher leads the discussion and engages the class. A growing passion for a subject he was not deeply familiar with. It is really worth it, seeing our teen engage with the subject in a live, passionate way.

    I like the style of teaching, and he gives good opportunities for us to ask questions if we need to.

  3. 5 out of 5

    – :

    I am learning quite a lot in a short time. The subject is gripping, the teacher explains key issues in a manner that makes hard terms easy to understand, and gives really good and interesting examples that help me grasp the subject much better. Communication with other students is great as well. Mr Biffert is a great teacher, and the class is great and engaging.

    The most compelling aspect of this course is the insightful exploration of spatial patterns and processes that shape the human world. Engaging with diverse perspectives on culture, economy, and environment provides a comprehensive understanding of our interconnected planet. This course has been profoundly beneficial, primarily due to Mr. Biffert’s expertise. The curriculum itself is meticulously structured, fostering such a deep appreciation for the multifaceted nature of human geography, but it’s really his guidance and engaging energy that facilitate a thorough comprehension of the subject matter. He is truly a lovely and effective teacher.

    The teacher is good, and the course load is very manageable. The teacher is very good at pointing out some of the biases inside our textbook and has real world experiences that he can share to help us understand concepts.

    I greatly enjoyed the Human Geography course you taught this year. I especially liked how you managed to bring in your real-life experiences into the course and its various modules. The course really opened my eyes to many things I had taken for granted in the past. Thanks to your teaching, I did well on the AP college exam at the end and scored a 5.
