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.

ENG22 . Hiltner K C 3 Days Ago

The lectures were VERY boring if you are not interested in the environment. There were no midterms or finals, and only graded on weekly homework and short online daily quizzes. Only attended half of the lectures and still finished with an A-. A super easy class where I barely put any work into it.

Had a very interesting format to class with daily quizzes, homework, and attendance making up the whole grade. 1 reading/film assignment per week, manageable homework load, lectures could feel a bit dragged out but overall a solid professor

Great if you want an easy GE & work was minimal. A bulk of your grade in the class is dependent on daily quizzes on readings and films, and the only issue I had was that every question you get wrong on a quiz is -1% off your total class grade. I did all the readings and watched all the films yet still got a handful of quiz questions wrong.

Ken is clearly passionate about the topic and is very knowledgeable. The content builds off of itself throughout the quarter. The course has daily quizzes instead of a final and a midterm. Course is based on one film and readings per week, with a discussion post for each. Lectures are easy to follow along with, as he posts the PDFs ahead of time.

Professor Hiltner teaches ENGL 22 super well and is very passionate about the subject material however the lectures are extremely boring if your not personally interested in the subject material. Also the daily quizzes are weighted pretty highly so if you miss too many questions on them then there's no chance at getting an A in the class.
