Inhaltsangabe:

Human Geography in Action, Fifth Edition is a response to the need for innovative alternatives to the standard human geography textbook and course. As its title implies, the purpose of Human Geography in Action is for students to learn geography by doing geography.  This text is highlighted by a robust online platform, WileyPLUS.

Authors Kuby, Harner, and Gober have spent the last two years adapting and modifying Human Geography in Action activities within the WileyPlus platform. All activities, including those previously done with paper and pencil, are now computerized. A majority of the formerly open-ended written questions have been converted to objective-type questions that are graded instantly and automatically. After a semester testing the converted questions at Arizona State University and University of Colorado, the authors redesigned a number of activities to further take advantage of the WileyPlus technology. In a number of activities, longer sequences of questions, enhanced by new graphics, now lead students step by step through an in-depth exploration of the key terms, data, and animations, while simultaneously reducing the instructor?s grading workload.
