A class that's supposed to be an easy 'A', but you can unlucky and miss points on the mandatory quizzes at the end of each lecture even after watching the material. He has a soft voice that makes his lectures not exciting and hard to listen to. Wouldn't reccomend.

Great and easy class, very easy GE and easy A. All you need to do is pay attention and do the readings and watch the films. There was no midterms or finals, grade just depended on lecture quizzes every lecture which were not confusing. Personally, I think you need to enjoy the topic, but you also don't need to, to do well in this class.

If you pay attention he's really passionate about what he's teaching. The quizzes are SUPER easy and there really isn't that much outside work. Definitely look into this one!

Prof is passionate but his voice is so monotone it puts you to sleep. I thought we would learn about the environment, however we spent like 2 weeks reading the bible dissecting its teaching on the environment?Boring lectures with bad readings. 2 assignments per week with short discussion posts. The film assignments were fun, the reading not at all.

Lecture content is interesting but drags on, class is on "ecocriticism", not "environmental literature". Readings and documentaries were insightful, but the real problem is the in-class quizzes. There is a quiz everyday and every question wrong = -1% on your FINAL grade. Questions are extremely specific, so reread before every class.

I thought the lectures were interesting and they definitely made understanding the reading easier. Pretty much the entire grade is based on short multiple choice quizzes that happen every lecture, and because they often focus on really specific details from the readings or films, they can tank your grade quickly. But no final!
