Students will learn some key concepts in geography and learn how to make a map.
I have a PhD in geography and teach for the University of Georgia in the Department of Geography. I have taught a version of this class for college students starting in 2017.

In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Feedback on maps
55 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
