3rd Year Courses in Geography
3rd Year Courses in Geography
There are two independent third-year courses in Geography. GOG 302 is offered in the first semester and GOG 301 in the second semester. Credit for each course may be obtained separately. In addition, an aggregate mark of at least 50% will be deemed equivalent to the year-long course GOG 3, provided that a candidate obtains the required sub-minimum in each component. Typically, both GOG 201 and GOG 202 are required before a student can register for either of the third year semester courses GOG 302 and GOG301.
At the discretion of the Head of Department, a student with only an aggregated year-course GOG 2 may be allowed to register for either or both of the semester courses GOG 302 and GOG 301.
