My name is Andrew Burfeind and I am pleased to be teaching AP Human Geography, Spanish Immersion Social Studies, and World History at Woodbury High School. I have a lot of teaching experience and am licensed in Spanish, Social Studies, and Science. I will do my best to make geography fun, interesting, and worth your time. I believe that the more we know about the world and its people, the better we will get along and live well in the future. Welcome to my class. I am available most days in my room, 224, before and after school and I am eager to work with any students or parents during this time. Students are welcome. I can be reached by e-mail, aburfein@sowashco.k12.mn.us, or by phone 651-768-5473. Thank you.

The purpose of the AP Human Geography course is to introduce students to the systematic study of the patterns and processes that have shaped human understanding, use, and alteration of Earth's surface. Students employ spatial concepts and landscape analysis to examine human social organization and its environmental consequences. They also learn about the methods and tools geographers use in their science and practice. (Source: http://apcentral.collegeboard.com) Students may retake any of the quizzes and the essay section of any of the tests. The lowest test score will be dropped (if it benefits the student).

70% of the grade will be based on tests.  As much as possible tests will be like the actual AP Human Geography Test which is in May, 2013.  Some map quizzes will also be included in this grade.  The lowest test score will be dropped if it benefits the student.  20% of the grade will be based on homework, mostly SQ3R / Cornell Notes.  10% of the grade will be various things we do in class.

This is the first trimester of the regular World History course at Woodbury High School.  In this three term course, students will be given an opportunity to develop knowledge of and an appreciation for the contributions of many cultures to the collective wisdom of the human race. A marked emphasis will be placed upon the ideas and events of both Western and non-Western civilizations as they have come to shape our present existence.
