Has lots of experience in the political side of this subject and isn't afraid to bring up the latest news stories in class. Readings and lectures are interesting and eye-opening. Coming in with some knowledge on environmental politics was really helpful and made the course more interesting.

He really cares about what he's teaching. He and the TAs really do want your success and he will give extensions or move tests around if he sees your effort. It is mainly based off some reading essays which arent too hard. His study guides will CLEARLY tell you what will be on the quizzes and exams, if you know the study guide you know the exam.

lots of work does both a final essay and a final test. But test is pretty easy as long as you do the work. can get very boring in lecture. very passionate about the subject. readings are long but interesting, not boring research papers, more newspapers long articles etc.

Overall was a very passionate professor, I enjoyed lecture but I did well on all assignments and papers but unfortunately the quizzes were very difficult and the final was a five page written final in a blue book. Would't say it is an easy class but it is manageable.

He's a boring lecturer. So many assignments consisting of 2 in person quizzes (one on midterm week), 3 reading papers, 1 paper, and an in person final. Also kind of funny that it's an environmental class yet he makes us waste so much paper. He also says that he applies a curve but I'm not too sure of that.

Honestly I was excited for this class before taking it. After I cannot say the same. Professor Clemencon is seemly a nice person, but his lectures are so hard to get through, and the slides are somewhat confusing. We had 3 small papers, one was option, a large research paper, 2 in class quizzes/tests, and a written in class final.
