Teaching: Geography, Businesses, and Cities
My teaching schedule for 2018/2019 features the following UNT Geography courses:
Fall 2018 Courses
Spring 2019 Courses
Summer 2019 Course
- Mo/Tu/We/Th, Summer 1 (June): GEOG 3100: United States and Canada - Cities, Economies, and Sustainability (Summer Edition)
I am always interested in talking with prospective students. Please feel free to get in touch with me about courses, research topics, and career opportunities in geography (rice@unt.edu). My particular teaching focus is represented by a track in our MS program called business geography, but my teaching interests also extend to urban environments, geographic information systems, analytical methods, and human geography more broadly.
If you are interested in pursuing graduate studies in any of the above topics, I invite you to learn more about Master of Science in Geography study opportunities with me at UNT. I welcome inquiries from students who are up for a knowledge- and skill-building challenge.

Past Teaching: Archived Course Material I may well teach one or more of the above courses again in the future, but they are not on my current teaching schedule. There are undoubtedly some broken links and missing resources in these course pages (I am not actively maintaining these pages like I do with my currently-offered courses). However, these archived pages should give a good idea of the overall structure and emphasis I have created for each of these past courses. Note, most of these courses are being offered in the coming year by other UNT Geography faculty.

There are a few primary software resources that I use in my classroom teaching. All of the below are excellent GIS packages that combine a solid core of analytical capabilities with good datasets. I recommend all of these packages highly, although they each have distinctive strengths:

- Caliper's Maptitude (general-purpose GIS package with good census datasets and analytical capabilities)
- Esri's Business Analyst (Esri's venerable business GIS software front end, tailoring the ArcGIS package specifically for business uses)
- Esri's Business Analyst Web App (BA Web) (user-friendly cloud GIS package focusing on basic business location and market analytics)
