amazing

Thanks for explanation
Very good

This was really interesting – thank you for taking the time for office hours! What a great way to give people a chance to interact with the material and seek clarifications.

I really enjoy this Office Hours format!

I hope "…even in a rat hammock" becomes a recurring Crash Course inside joke

This is a very interesting format for Crash Course videos. I would love to see more office hours style videos in the future!

Geography is what every American needs before traveling to Europe. 😅(I'm also guilty!)

Been a fan of the channel for a very long time.
Office hours are a nice addition to the shows content.
Thank you.

Thank you! ❤️
