Greg is passionate about the environment and history, and provides insight and information on important environmental issues and politics over the past 200 years. This class, focused on Water Policy, is incredibly important in our time. I feel so fortunate to have been able to take it, especially after enjoying his environmental history class.
This class is graded pretty much entirely on papers. 3 papers, each 1/3 of your grade. I took this during COVID, so we got an extra 4% in the class for doing weekly assignments. He was super understanding and sweet. Truly one of the kindest people. Highly recommend his class.
California History was such an amazing class. It was one of the first upper divs I had taken and it set the bar so high. Graves is very passionate about everything he teaches and is a really kind person. Class was Midterm and Final which were all in-test essays and we were given helpful study guides beforehand. I would 10/10 recommend this class.
Class is easy, and Graves keeps lectures interesting. Readings are pretty optional, as Graves will tell you everything you need to know in class. Grade is based off three essays: 1 on midterm, 2 on the final. If you want an A, GO TO CLASS
Graves is an awesome professor! Had him for env 3 and env 176a. He is really interesting and funny, laid-back professor. Attendance is mandatory since he doesn't post any of the slides. 3 midterms equally weighted, all blue-book form. His grading his fair if you provide enough details and show you actually know the material!
seriously go to class! his lectures are super helpful! he's a rly funny dude and he seems passionate abt the environment. sadly he wont be teaching env 3 anymore but it was a good time.
