For AP human geography, you usually don't need to thoroughly read the chapter, just scan the whole thing and take notes on the bits that are important and that answer the questions. For the vocab, the glossary is helpful in a pinch, but I wouldn't rely on it, because you have to paraphrase. It's easier to just read the section about it in the chapter. It will give you more context about the word, too, which will help you understand it better.

He pokes fun at students, but if you ask him to stop doing something, he will stop. You have to have a conversation/email with him if you want/need something. You can't drop hints and expect him to back off of the teasing or accommodate to you. Communication is key! He is an engaging teacher, and I learned a lot from his class. He genuinely is invested in the success of his students, and if you do your work/try your best, you will probably pass. Don't talk while him or anyone else is talking, because he will kick you out, especially if you're a freshman.
