CollegeClemencon is very intelligent and knowledgeable The assigned readings are interesting, I appreciate what I learned in this class No required textbooks, all readings will be posted online 2 short papers (1.5 pages single spaced) and 1 longer paper (2.5-3 single spaced) and a final
I found the class pretty easy. He assigns quite a few assignments but the essays are not graded harshly. The quizzes also fairly easy if you've done the readings and attended most lectures. The readings were, in my opinion, very interesting, which was a plus. I would recommend this class.
His class was great, very interesting. He sounds like Gru from Despicable Me, so that kind of distracted me sometimes. His lectures can get a little dry, but he posts all his slides online and the material is very interesting.
Has lots of experience in the political side of this subject and isn't afraid to bring up the latest news stories in class. Readings and lectures are interesting and eye-opening. Coming in with some knowledge on environmental politics was really helpful and made the course more interesting.
He really cares about what he's teaching. He and the TAs really do want your success and he will give extensions or move tests around if he sees your effort. It is mainly based off some reading essays which arent too hard. His study guides will CLEARLY tell you what will be on the quizzes and exams, if you know the study guide you know the exam.
lots of work does both a final essay and a final test. But test is pretty easy as long as you do the work. can get very boring in lecture. very passionate about the subject. readings are long but interesting, not boring research papers, more newspapers long articles etc.
