Ib_slave Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 At Geography HL, we have to do 120 hours of topographic mapping. Does anyone know what this is and how difficult is it exactly? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lily Bean Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 Basically it's reading maps and etc. It's in Paper 2, you have the option of doing the question in Part C which is a map reading question. Look in a past paper for more details. It's really boring honestly but I guess for a geographer you need to be able to do it. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually thought it might have something with drawing maps (which I'm not keen on doing). Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still really boring though. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

djshah Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 [quote name='freelancer_girl' post='19288' date='Jul 4 2008, 12:48 PM']At Geography HL, we have to do 120 hours of topographic mapping.[/quote] 120 hours for topographic mapping??? We hardly used like 2 to 3 weeks for it which is approximately 22 hours. And i think we did finish that section of the syllabus because the teacher gave us like whole past papers to do on topographic papers. Although he did say it we are just doing it as an extra option so if in the exam we were confused with the other options we could just do topographic mapping.
