I got a 96% in the class, but sometimes the quiz questions were unfair. Even if you watch the movies/do the readings, there is a chance you will get a trick one and lose 1% of your grade. It's the easiest class I've taken here, but I didn't feel like I got anything from it.

Easy class for units. No midterm or final but there are quizzes every lecture (2-3 questions, 1 min/question) that are on the videos and readings he assigns. 1 reading and 1 video assignment due every Sunday. Take notes on videos and reading! Not much work needed to put into this class. Learned a lot about the climate, took some things with me.

No exams which was a blessing. Graded on weekly 2-3 question pop quizzes and a very lengthy comment on a film and reading. Sometimes felt overwhelming. Lectures were EXTREMELY dense and felt dragged on. All readings free on Canvas. But, he's very passionate about the environment and I learned quite a bit.

New format is a content quiz (either film or reading) every single lecture, each worth like 3% of your grade and questions can be really hard. Weekly film and reading responses are pretty bare bones but take a solid amount of time and feel repetitive. Actual course content itself is really interesting, though, if you engage with it.
