Spring Semester Assignment Due Dates

We will use the topographic maps listed below, 10 copies of which are located at the UWEC checkout counter in the library. Use the appropriate periodical titles for each map. Note that three "map" assignments do not use the topographic sheets in the library; use the appropriate sources.

Be sure you have the map assignments completed by the dates listed and bring them to class on the due date. If you can't be in class on the due dates, give the instructor the assignments BEFORE class so that they can be graded in class. We will correct these assignments in class. If a 30-point project, for example, is handed in late, it receives 0 points; if it is not handed in at all, it receives -30 points.  Late and missing assignments will significantly lower your map assignment average and therefore your overall grade.

This will significantly lower your map assignment average and therefore your overall grade. In other words, be timely, learn something, and don't miss assignments!

To look at very small sections of the topographic maps found at the UWEC library checkout counter, go to Topozone, select Get a Map, type in a place name on the map, then scroll to where you want to look, and select 1:25,000 in the top menu bar -- the most detailed scale.

For the topographic map exercises, you will still need to use the paper maps on Reserve
or use electronic ones for the U.S. only.
