Geography and Environment Students
I always get a little concerned when the calendar
states that “students are responsible for their own
academic record.” While this is true, and is one of
the main differences between high school and university studies,
I still think each of us sometimes needs a
bit of help sorting out our options and the problems that
may arise along the way.
This is certainly true in the study of geography
and the environment, where we literally study the globe and
its complex human and natural properties and processes.
The web site gives key information on the Department,
our various programs, information on student research and
possible career options. The Department
Handbook has similar information as well as guidelines
and best practices to support your academic pursuits.
I want to stress the importance of communication
with your peers and with the members of the Department faculty
and staff. The individual course
instructors have regular office hours, as well as telephone
and e-mail access.
One of our central roles is to assist you through the creation
of a comprehensive teaching and learning environment. As you
progress through the program, you should feel free to contact
me concerning your registration, progress and personal academic
profile. It is critical that you contact your course instructors,
should you have any difficulties in your progress –
especially in times of illness or if other problems arise.
It is always much more difficult dealing with academic issues
after the fact.
