Introduces disciplinary traditions of knowledge creation and explores how these traditions motivate different approaches to research design. Studentsdevelop a series of short research proposals on environmental topics to hone their ability to frame effective research questions, and match those questions to appropriate research designs. By giving interdisciplinary environmental scholars a deeper understanding of other disciplines, the class empowers students to engage in more effective interdisciplinary collaboration and communication.

Dr. Kendall is such a sweet teacher. She is very easy to understand and her voice is very calming and easy to listen to. I really recommend her as a professor. I have learned so many things from her this year is ESS2.

Honestly can say that she is by far the best professor i have ever taken a class with at UCSB. This course honestly changed my life and health dramatically for the better! Phenomenal! Thanks Dr. Kendall

Kendall is such a sweetheart; she is truly awesome and this class will definitely be one of the ones that taught me the most. No textbook use is really needed, and it's important to go to lectures for i-clicker(but every lecture is fun anyways). This isn't just a nutrition class- it's a class that will help you literally help you improve your life.

This class is awesome and Kendall is such a sweet/calm person. I go to class regularly, aka I didn't even really have to use the book or study. This is an easy class, but it's also interesting and you learn relevant info. Also, the quick yoga breathing sessions at the beginning of each class/tests literally improved my test performances. Love her

easy class with minimal effort. Expect to go to lecture and spend like one hour a week on homework. Study for like one hour before the midterm or final and you'll probably get an A, if you paid some attention in class. You don't need the book. All the information is pretty basic.
