GEOG 1600 Exam 1 Study Guide
Format:
the exam is worth up to 100 points.
Multiple Choice questions
50 questions will come from the textbook terms (Chapters 1, 2, & 3). Start by making a list of the terms in
bold
in your textbook. Next, add terms from the slides and your lecture notes. Look for terms and concepts that are
emphasized in the class lecture. You should know all the terms that are in bold in the book, plus other terms
that are emphasized in lecture. Focus on the key ideas for each term, rather than memorizing long definitions.
Problems and written questions
Be prepared to answer questions on these topics (20 points):
1.
Define and explain the Demographic Transition Model (DTM). Identify and describe the Stages of the DTM
in terms of births, deaths, and population growth. Be able to associate stages of the DTM with population
growth rates and age structure of populations, as shown in population pyramids. Use the handouts, your
lecture notes, the video explanation in the Population Exercise explanation folder, and the textbook to
prepare.
2.
Interpret a table of demographic information for a list of 10 countries, which includes CBR, CDR, NMR, TFR,
and life expectancy statistics. Note the RNI and which countries are growing faster, shrinking, which have
the lowest and highest NMR (net migration rate). Think about the long-term implications of these
demographic patterns. Also note differences in male and female life expectancy and where those indicators
show the greatest difference or notable patterns of shorter and longer life expectancy. You do not need to
memorize population data.
3.
Given a map of Europe, be able to identify the following Cold War and current boundaries on a map. See
the Europe security maps assignment for more information. This information is in the Europe Geopolitics
map packet we completed in class.
a.
A line to represent the “iron curtain” that divided west from east during the Cold War.
b.
The states of the Warsaw Pact.
c.
The former Republics of the Soviet Union.
d.
The member states in NATO that were once Republics of the Soviet Union.
e.
The current border between NATO and non-NATO state members in Eastern Europe.
4.
Term explanations:
Define, explain, and give examples of important terms (5 points each, 2 terms = 10 points). We
will create a list of possible terms in class, based on topics from class sessions.
