[pendragon]

It was great watching it live and great being able to revisit! Loved this series--one of the best so far!

[GrantKeeganTechPhilosophy]

This is a very interesting format for Crash Course videos. I would love to see more office hours style videos in the future!

This was really interesting - thank you for taking the time for office hours! What a great way to give people a chance to interact with the material and seek clarifications.

25:34 This one is very good a love it very easy to understand!

[divyatripathi]

It is really interesting to see a crash course on geography, however geography is quite interesting when you have historical geography and population geography, geomorphology is quite boring as it is really hard to imagine certain processes like volcanic eruption and karst topography... I must suggest this video to my students

As a geography teacher

I had totally forgotten about orienteering and other kinds of maps, that aren't as burned into our brains as the regular world map.

[geogar]

Hello. I am preparing for the European Geography Olympiad. what advice would you give? that is, what books do I read, what tests can I use? please answer.

[evergreen]

If anybody knows a geographical atlas for the history periods( i think it's called a historical atlas)
With as many maps as possible I would be very glad 🙏

[metabeard]

I hope "...even in a rat hammock" becomes a recurring Crash Course inside joke

[willmallory]

Geography is what every American needs before traveling to Europe. 😅(I'm also guilty!)
