ENVS117 . Pulver S 3 Months Ago

This class offered such a shallow analysis of environmental issues, I thought I was going to get a lot more out of it than I did. Most of the readings were tedious and unhelpful. Half of the lecture material is just common sense for anyone even remotely interested in ES. At least it was quite easy

Very well done, interesting, semi-engaging lectures. If you focus and take notes you should excell. She was also very friendly and accepting of technical/personal difficulties.

easy to get an A and an interesting class, but honestly I feel like a lot of the things she teaches are just wrong like her math doesn't really check out

Her lectures were hard to stay engaged with but she brings some amazing guest speakers. I liked the way she organized the course (weekly videos, no midterm, group project, final). She seems super nice and she's extremely knowledgeable!! This course topic is just not the most exciting to me, but the topics are nonetheless really important to know.

Professor Pulver is very knowledgeable and clearly cares about the topic. Lectures were a bit boring hence the 3/5, but I would still take her classes again because she has a lot of knowledge to share. Definitely attend lectures bc the slides are pretty blank; it is what she says that you need to pay attention to.

She is so nice and a great lecturer! Lecture and section attendance mandatory but attending them and paying attention is really all you need to do. Assigns a lot of readings but not really necessary. Weekly online homework that's easy to get 100% on. Multiple choice final at end. Lectures can get a little boring but maybe that's bc it was at 5 pm.
