During the map quiz you will be asked to locate geographic objects selected from the list below on a blank world map. Both the map and the place name list were handed out during the first week of the semester. For instructions on how to locate these geographic objects, see course syllabas (section Using Atlas and Map Quiz). No textbook or atlas are allowed during the quiz.
