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.

He's a boring lecturer. So many assignments consisting of 2 in person quizzes (one on midterm week), 3 reading papers, 1 paper, and an in person final. Also kind of funny that it's an environmental class yet he makes us waste so much paper. He also says that he applies a curve but I'm not too sure of that.

Honestly I was excited for this class before taking it. After I cannot say the same. Professor Clemencon is seemly a nice person, but his lectures are so hard to get through, and the slides are somewhat confusing. We had 3 small papers, one was option, a large research paper, 2 in class quizzes/tests, and a written in class final.

I loved Professor Clemencon. The lectures are heavy in material but he delivers the information very well. There are three reading essays (one is optional), a research paper, two quizzes, and a final exam. It is work intensive class but very worth it in my opinion. I felt like I learned a lot of valuable information from this class.

One of the best lecturers I've had

Would recommend his courses if you are passionate about the subjects he is teaching. Even if you are not, he makes it easy for you to develop passion for them.
