I would tell future students that all their previous history classes all get connected through this class. You look at why people are where they are and other reasons behind geography. I would tell them to take full advantage of the powerpoints, they are very good study materials. Another thing that future students should know that is when an example is given in class/when we are taking notes to write down what she says since this tends to be some of the most important contents. The vocab is also very important, you should have them memorized or at least the key terms.
