:o!!! You don't like Human Geohraphy?!? I love that course!!
But anyway, first you need to study the vocabulary, and branch out from there.
Make a list of the vocab words, and their definitions. Then learn all the background info for each word, and learn about everything associated with it.
For instance, the term is "Steppes" You should know that they are in Southern Russia, that they are flat and grassy and that they are most of Russia's farmland.
More tips:
**Get a list of what you will need from your instructor. Just go in and say you're a little overwhelmed and you'd like a better idea of what to know. They should be happy to oblige.
EDIT: I just realized you only have one night. In that case, nevermind. You could try emailing or calling, but if not, you should be fine without such a list. Did the teacher hand out a review? If so, make sure to use it.
**Study for about 30 minutes at a time, with 5-10 minute breaks inbetween for snacks or whatever.
**Study with a classmate, it will keep you interested.
**Make up devices for things you need to memorize, like maps and the five pillars of Islam (which are Prayer, Pilgrimage, Charity, Faith, and Fasting at Ramadan ;) (Ex: King Philip Called Order For Green Soup is the taxonomy list: Kingdon, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species)
**Make flashcards for really boring stuff out of notecards.
And remember, if you don't know, just pick C.

My name is Deanna: aka manrashi, banana, deanimal
I'm 15 and I like answering questions. I try to be as competent, coherant, and helpful as possible. Everyone is welcome to ask me questions personally, as it it makes me feel special.
I LOOOVE cooking and drawing and other artistic type things. I also like altering photos and making avvies/icons in photoshop, so I will take any requests for those as well. (email or IM me).
Please rate my advice, and rate it fairly. If I deserve a 2, go ahead and give me one, you won't hurt my feelings.
Pet peeve: people who answer questions just to say "That sucks, I don't know. Sux 2 B u."(If you don't know, why are you answering?) and people who say "Hope I helped!" (Obviously, or you wouldn't have an advice column)
Haha, sorry.
I'm out.
