"I enjoy the challenge of creating classes for homeschool students and sharing with them my love for the subjects I enjoy. In turn, they push me to stay current, and their youthful exuberance is infectious," said Carey, who will teach a class on physiographic regions of the U.S. in the upcoming session. The course will explore location, geology, major landscapes, climate, characteristic flora and fauna, and how each region has influenced human historic and economic development. Student Oliver Jackson took Carey's previous class, Alternative Photography, and said learning from the college professor was "incredibly fun and intriguing." "I've never considered myself to be an artistic person, but Dr. Carey's way of teaching is engaging, fun and downright interesting, which left me eagerly looking forward to each week's class," said Jackson, whose work was included in a student art display at the conclusion of the class.
