What This Document Is
This resource is a collection of practice questions designed to help you assess your understanding of key concepts from GEOG 106: Geographies of Globalization at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Specifically, it focuses on material covered in weeks 5 through 8 of the course – lectures 11-21 – and associated readings from chapters 2-5 of the textbook. These questions mirror the format you can expect on Exam Two, including both multiple-choice and true/false question types.
Why This Document Matters
This practice material is ideal for students preparing for Exam Two. It’s best used *after* reviewing your lecture notes, completing the assigned readings, and consulting the official study guide. Working through these questions will help you identify areas where your knowledge is strong and pinpoint topics that require further review. It’s a valuable tool for self-assessment and building confidence before the exam. Remember, this is a supplemental resource to aid your studying, not a replacement for comprehensive preparation.
