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.

Project based, only a few assignments that are based on the project and a final essay about the project. This class is as difficult as you make the project, so do an easy one, trust. Professor stopped uploading lecture slides halfway through, so take notes about the types of evidence. Everything she says you should take notes about is irrelevant.

Never responded to either of my two emails. Also, my TA graded really hard and took off points for things that weren't even on the rubrics. Really gross project that takes up the whole quarter. Lectures are really boring but attendance is part of your grade so you have to go. If you don't have to take this class, DON'T. Nobody likes it.

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.

A lot of lecture material seemed very common sense/boring, never rlly did the readings. Prof. was super passionate abt everything though, and you really get as much out of this class as you put in. Chance to develop project of choice was cool, and grading seemed fair (no project rubric though, which sucked). Great intro to ES program.
