ENVS155 . Gray S M 5 Months Ago

I loved this class so much as it was super interesting without being overly stressful. Professor Gray does a fantastic job at organizing this course in a way that if you put in the work, you are set to get a lot out of it while getting good grades. Lectures were very compelling. Would highly recommend!

I enjoyed this class for a GE. Professor Hiltner is super knowledgable but lectures can be a bit dense sometimes. I really enjoyed the films assigned. He integrates student opinions as well. Every week a discussion post/reply was due and some film and reading.

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.

Ken was a great professor, super passionate about what he teaches. His lectures weren't the most engaging, but in all honesty you don't need them to pass. I didn't take any notes or really pay attention and got an easy A. There's also no midterm or final! Definitely recommend!

ken was okay. his lectures were not informative AT ALL. he literally talked about other peoples homework responses every lecture for the entire time. we had daily quizzes on our homework the week before but they were so specific that even if you did the work u might still get them wrong. homework was a documentary and article a week with a response
