Exercise 2 of 3 of HW3:

(READ THE CHAPTER FROM KATZ BUT LOOK BELOW FOR THE "NOTE-TAKING" SHEET YOU NEED TO COMPLETE SO YOU HAVE IT WITH YOU ON THE QUIZ NEXT CLASS)

It make sense to look up and learn the words that might appear on the quiz BEFORE doing the reading because knowing these words will help you understand the reading.

Likewise, doing the short-answer questions below carefully makes sense because it will prepare you for the quiz. So, don't pretend to either yourself or us if you don't know the answers. If you can't answer the question in your own words, then you likely don't understand the reading yet. And the reading IS dense. But it's certainly comprehensible. It just might take going over certain passages several to grasp them.

QUIZ QUESTION:

Katz describes three types of transformations of the American city: demographic, economic, and spatial.

Be prepared to describe in detail using your own words the causes and consequences of each transformation.

You will, however, be asked to describe only one transformation on the quiz.

Preparing for this quiz:

Notice that Katz has chunked the reading into three sections--one for each transformation (demographic, economic, spatial). As you read, when you encounter Katz discussing either a causes or consequences for a transformation, jot down the details in your notes.

You can bring these notes to the quiz as long as you follow these rules:

Taking notes will help you organize your thinking about the reading.

Again, if a particular sentence or phrase confuses you, be sure to e-mail Prof. Umbach.
