ES3 . Martin J A 3 Months Ago

Didn't stop lecture when a student passed out and started seizing in the middle of the hall. I think this speaks a lot about the type of teacher she is--she just doesn't care about her students and their success.

Honestly ES3 depends a lot on the TA you have, mine graded really harshly for what it was. Jen's lectures could get kinda boring and attendance was mandatory, but the course concepts aren't too hard to grasp. Watched some interesting films in class and the papers & write-ups weren't too bad. Took it for the ES major but honestly probably a good GE.

4 short reading reflections, a film review essay, and a final essay about different anthropocene terms. Attendance was measured by answering in class prompt, but you were allowed to miss a couple. Class is mostly about different alternatives for the Anthropocene, such as the plantationocene, which was kind of silly.

Lovely professor and quite interesting material. Took for pre-major req, highly recommend. easy-breezy. Go to lecture and You'll be good! I did the weekly readings, but might be fine if you don't.

Takes attendance at lectures, midterm and final are papers with clear prompts for every paragraph which was nice. Some lectures were super interesting like the plantationocene one, others were boring in my opinion. It would be a free A accept for the fact that essay scores are curved (I imagine downwards) to a B.

This class was extremely easy, I barely put any effort and did 0 readings until writing papers. As a STEM major a welcome break and the concepts are pretty much common sense so you can simply spend a few hours writing the paper and get an A. Take it for area E!
