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.

It's an easy class, but the quizzes are a pain. If you miss one question, you lose one percent of your grade, and attendance is mandatory. Ken is a funny guy, and he is very passionate about the content.

Class is great if you're an environmental science major or LOVE the environment, but boring for anyone else. Overall it is pretty easy, just a reading, film assignment, and 2 short quizzes every week. Lectures and films are long and often boring. Quizzes have questions designed to trick you. Class should be renamed to something abt the environment

So much reading every week. Also, quizzes are on the most obscure moments in lectures. If you aren't writing down every single word out of his mouth you cannot get 100% on daily quizzes.

Class is very lecture heavy but he makes it interesting because you can tell he is very passionate about what he teaches. We have quizzes every class (instead of a midterm or final) and the questions are VERY specific to the texts/films we are assigned for homework but aren't impossible if you do your work outside of class.

This class had several readings a week and 1 film a week that were accompanied with a "comment" for each that are both worth 2 points. Short quizzes are given at the end of each lecture from previous readings/films. You can prob get by without reading all the texts given, just read through the lecture pdfs and watch some films and u should be good

Prepare for a heavy workload - lots of readings, films, and memorization required. But if you put in the effort, unstuckstudy AI and other study tools can really help you succeed on the tough exams.
