Introduction to Physical Geography
Lecture Outlines
Note: These links take you to
generalized topic outlines of the notes I use in lecture. The PDF links
take you to mini versions of the PowerPoint slides shown in class.
These resources should help you organize your notes and determine any
topics you
have missed. They do not serve as a good substitute for coming
to class! These outlines may not precisely reflect the course
material as I've covered it this semester, so be careful studying from
them.
