Loved this class and Ken ! Would absolutely take again, the material and the way it was presented made it easy to want to make a change. 2 Weekly comment make up 40% of your grade and the rest is midterm and final.

Such caring, intelligent guy! Online format of class a bit bland bc his lectures had no slides, but still interesting to listen to as a podcast while you do something else. Comments really easy to get 100% on, and tests are a little difficult but as long as you really do the readings/documentaries and pay attention to the lectures, you’ll be fine

I’ve never written a ratemyprofessor review, but this teacher is the reason I’m here for the first time. His lectures are all pre recorded, and will bore you to death. Half of the readings are in old english, and tests are massively weighted with questions that are random and ridiculously specific. Not sure how I pulled off an A-. Do NOT take.

Ken is clearly extremely passionate about the environment and the climate crisis. His lectures can be a bit slow but nothing 2x speed can’t fix. One film and reading per week. Graded on comments (very easy), midterm, and final. Midterm and final are online, questions are extremely specific to the lectures so make sure you are well versed on them!

Seemed difficult during it, until I realized I finished with a 94 in the class. Graded off of comments (you should get 100%), midterm, final. Both exams online, but sequential navigation, 30 questions, 30 mins. Lots of lectures/reading, but I realized you don't have to give as much effort as seemingly expected. Worthwhile content, but depressing.

Loved learning the material. Make sure to actually do readings and watch documentaries, helps a bunch. Lectures were a little boring. Super easy midterm and final, only 30 questions each. Insanely easy class, no time required. I didn't even go to lecture. Good literature GE. Ken is passionate about subject, very monotone and boring voice.

Ken clearly puts a lot of effort into making this class accessible, and the topics we learn are incredibly relevant. Lectures can get pretty boring and drag on too long, but he posts them after so it's flexible. Definitely read the articles and watch the documentaries and additional lecture videos because test questions are specific!

He's super accommodating and offers an online option for all lectures. The exams are super easy as long as you read/watch everything you're supposed to. Test questions can be pretty specific, but most of it's pretty fair. The class is insanely inspiring, so enjoy

Straightforward class: 1 weekly film & comment, 1 midterm (wks 1-5), final (wks 6-10). He posts lectures online (¬es), but attend class for iClicker. Stay on top of reading! Midterm/final were open book for us -asked questions about films, readings, & lectures. I liked the documentaries. Lectures are interesting and discuss relevant topics

the sweetest man. lectures can drone on, but they're available after assigned class time as youtube videos or zoom recordings. you have to watch the lectures, and movies, and read in order to get a good grade on the final and midterm. The only other assignments were weekly comments on the lectures.

Ken clearly cares about the subject he is teaching. He is passionate about educating students on the climate crisis. There are weekly documentaries and readings, but they are all super interesting if you are even mildly concerned for our environment!

I loved taking a class with Baron! He was caring, funny, & the classroom environment was really fun to be in. One of my all time favorite classes & the readings were interesting, so I could actually get through them! I'll be looking for other classes he's teaching & trying to get into them lol

I took ENG23 and loved it, ENG22 was not nearly as good, Ken was clearly more passionate about 23. 22 had a lot less reading and the lectures were recorded and projected which made it not as fun, the tests are specific so take notes on EVERYTHING he says. I would probably not take this course again, but I highly recommend ENG23.

Probably my favorite class I've taken so far! (I'm a 2nd year.) He's just such a lovely person and super accommodating. It's rare for me to find a class where so many of the readings are so good. His class had a really good balance of lecture and discussion. Take his classes! Take them!

Ken seems to be a nice guy, but this class was honestly just pretty boring. He projected a YouTube video that he pre-recorded for each lecture which made it hard to focus and want to attend class. Make sure you do the reading for the midterm and final exam. The weekly documentaries and comments were super interesting and my fav part of this class.

Hiltner was one of those teachers who changed my life because of the perspective he gave me. One of the best classes I have ever taken hands down. The tests were actually really hard but its open notes so just make sure to do all the readings and videos. I recommend him to anyone!

This class wasn't online, but might as well have been. The lectures were just pre-recorded that he showed in the lecture and were also available to watch on zoom. Attendance was necessary for the grade. The worst part about this class was the was he talks. The mouth noises were awful and made it difficult for me to watch the lectures.

It was a class with fun reading material. 2 essays: 1 about 750 words and a final paper about 1500 words. Prompts were easy to comprehend & he gives great feedback. A lot of reading material (as expected from a UD English class), MUST attend class (will call u out if u skip), & participation definitely matters (sometimes cold-calls you in class).

This class is mostly based on the weekly documentaries and readings. The midterm and final were both multiple choice but were based on your interpretation. Overall the course is super easy as long as you attend lecture. The lectures were in-person but prerecorded so you can't really ask questions directly.

extremely dry lectures that were mandatory for majority of the quarter... interesting subject but the lecture style was not for me

Take ENG23 not ENG22 (if you're interested more in the environment than older literature). I found 22 repetitive and boring, lectures are recorded and played on a screen. All of that being said, 23 was one of my favorite classes (more of a general overview of the climate crisis). Neither class is too difficult, but a decent amount of work.

35% midterm and 35% final but both were online optional, so they were easy. Lecture are long & repetitive so it can be super boring, but you gotta watch them for the tests. Very passionate about the class. Only homework is weekly readings, watching a documentary each week and commenting on the movie. If you go to class and do the hw, youll get an A

Grade consists of 35% midterm 35% final, weekly comments and attendance. Prof is extremely passionate about this subject and I found the lectures to be super insightful. Pay attention in lecture and you will do great. Weekly readings were pretty heavy but honestly you can get by without doing them lol. Really enjoyed this class! Super kind professo

Homework is easy to manage, the documentaries are fun to watch, and the course content is thought-provoking. The readings are surely a lot since it is a literature class. The midterm and final take up 70% of the grade. Overall, it can hardly be a trouble to pass, but it If you want to earn a good grade, you should listen every lecture carefully.
