Lecture was not mandatory to attend with everything online right now and is generous with grading/curves. We had 3 papers to do based on readings. It was also allowed to miss a quiz or an essay and replace it with the lowest score you had. Class is lecture heavy but he always posted it to go back and watch.

I would not take this professor again, even if you paid me. Quiz questions are really detailed when relating to the long and multiple readings he assigns each week. Gives long study guides late considering when the exam/quiz is and expects students to know so much in a short time. Truly my hardest class as a straight A student.

There is a lot of reading, lectures are slightly boring, however, he is an awesome teacher. He ask for the classes interest and will change lecture to accommodate students interest. He will add a curve if class doesn't do well. He also gets rid of lowest score on test or paper.

Loved this class and the Professor, really nice guy. Sounds like Gru from Despicable Me and it was a great addition to the lectures! Reading heavy, but the essays are not too bad and neither is the final as he gives you the questions ahead of time and selects 5 of them randomly.

even if you are not into environmental sociology, i recommend this class. You learn quite a bit of important material and the class is fairly easy. Three short papers (2-3 pages) 2 quizzes and a final. He gives you a study guide for every single quiz and the final so you know exactly what is going to be on it. Hes extremely nice too!

Clemencon 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

His lectures are very easy to follow, posts slides up on GauchoSpace, and has extremely clear grading criteria. Has 2 quizzes and 3 short papers and a final. He gives you all the answers for the quizzes and really wants his students to do well. He's a very inspirational guy and has done a lot in his life...I would take him again and again.

He is super nice and willing to help you out. Super easy in my opinion, i would totally take a different class with him. Attendance is not mandatory which is great! Also he did not make us buy any books which was financially very helpful.. since other teachers make u buy so many books. All notes are online along with the readings

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.

gives too much reading, tests are very very detailed.

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.
