Guidlines and Expectations for ATMO 102 Final Project

For ATMO 102 you will be handing in a final project that is worth 150 points. Each student will be assigned a country that is covered under our discussion of "Hawaiian, Asian, and Pacific" cultures. For your final project you will be writing a 10 page report on your country and how some aspect (music, art, dance, etc) as has been affected by the weather it experiences and it's overall climate.

Throughout the semester you will complete four (4) homework assignments that will provide that backround information for couthry about it's loction, geogrpahy, typical weather, economic stability, population, agriculture, tourism and what types of extreme weather and risks your country may face.

The final project will combine the work compiled in the first four assignments with an integrated analysis of the "interesection" of culture of your country and it's cliamte (and weather).

The full project description will be posted shortly after the beginning of the semester. Check back for announcements.
