You should be able to locate the following places on a map of the region. For each map quiz, you will be
given the map of the region and 10 places from the following regional list that you will be expected to
locate on the map.
The blank outline map on the next page is identical to the one that will be used for the map quiz.
The Links page of the class website (http://www.uccs.edu/~faculty/chuber/ges198/links.html) offers
links to interactive sites where you can have fun as you practice your map skills.
Extra Credit: There will be a 1 point extra credit question on each quiz that will ask you to identify the
country in which some recent event in the news has occurred.
*You* are encouraged to submit the extra credit questions. E-mail me your submission no later than 24
hours before the scheduled quiz. If your question is selected, you will receive 5 points extra credit for
that quiz.
Missed Quizzes: Except in extraordinary circumstances, you are allowed to make up or retake only 1
missed quiz during the semester. Make-up/re-take consists of taking the appropriate Geography Zone
map challenge.
Go to the Geography Zone website: http://www.geographyzone.com/new/index.php
Select the appropriate Geography Zone quiz indicated on the place name list of the quiz you missed.
Because the Geography Zone regions do not match up with the textbook's regions, in some cases you
will need to take two Geography Zone quizzes to replace the regional quiz you missed. Once you have
selected the appropriate Geography Zone quiz, click "Start Challenge."

easier than others. Therefore, you must take the appropriate quiz(zes) at least three times
each. You may take it more than three times if you wish to improve your score.
Turn in your top 3 scores for the appropriate quiz(zes). Your grade for this assignment will
