What is Geography?
Geography is a representation of the whole known world together with the phenomena which are contained therein.
Ptolemy, Geographia 2nd Century A.D.
Geography is the science of place. Its vision is grand, its view panoramic. It sweeps the surface of the Earth, charting the physical, organic and cultural terrain, their areal differentiation, and their ecological dynamics with humankind. Its foremost tool is the map.
I consider my responsibilities to include fairness, honesty, and compassion. Most of all, I think it is my job to earnestly attempt to make geography interesting and fun, without making it frivolous.

Well, it’s a way of thinking about intellectual problems, both natural and societal, which emphasizes the importance of spatial relationships between culture and the environment. Take any social or environmental question or problem and ask yourself whether there is a spatial aspect to its answer. Chances are that space and place play a role in the explanation of that issue.

My Teaching Philosophy
I try to teach this class the same as I would anywhere else. Community colleges should not be second rate.
You are responsible for your own education, particularly now that you are in college. I am a guide, a helper, if you will. College is what you make of it.
