This discovery seminar explores the youth climate movement, with hopes that you will feel inspired to join it. We will read texts, watch movies, and listen to podcasts about (and by) activists from the rising generation to study their fight to transform the systems that drive climate change. To make these global issues local, the seminar will look at the history of climate activism at UCSB. We will also examine diversity and inclusion within the climate movement, considering topics like environmental justice and environmental racism. Students will leave this seminar with an action plan to become a climate activist.

He is really nice. It was his first time teaching Writing 2E. You get full points for HWs if your or work is sufficient.

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!

ENG23 . Hiltner K C 7 Months Ago

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
