“In 2002, 89% of Americans aged 18-24 could locate the United States on a map. That means roughly one out of ten Americans could NOT find their own country. It gets worse. 93% of Swedes could find the United States on a map whereas only 16% of Americans could find Sweden.” ~ National Geographic, 2012
Geography is more than just learning where states or countries are located; geography involves understand the why of a group of people. Geography is a knowledge of place names, locations of cultural and physical features; however, it also includes the languages, religions, economic activities, population, food, political systems and more for each area.

Great teacher!
Although in the beginning I was not excited to take a geography class, I ended up loving the class. I loved how Professor Eva did not just teach us basic facts. She taught and showed us things that I never knew existed about every corner of the word. She is a great teacher.

Fabulous class
Eva makes Geography fun! Every student needs to have an understanding of the world outside their own bubble. They need to understand where other countries are located as well as population, geography, and other features. This class provides that information in a fun and informational way.
Great Class!
My son has learned so much and while researching, he gets sidetracked and accidentally learns even more. I love that our conversations a lot of times, revolve around geography.
Very thorough
This class is nothing like the geography classes I had as a child. It’s so thorough, not just country location, but all the unique things that make our world so diverse and so interesting. My son has definitely learned so much in this class.
