Dorith Grant-Wisdom HONR218J Expecting an A- Anonymous 12/30/2019	Do not recommend this class. First half of the semester is easy enough to skate by if you do the readings, as nothing is actually due - however, second half of the semester consists of three papers, two projects, and three pop quizzes. Much of the class is not really anything of substance and I was pretty bored (turned out to be much closer to resembling an economics class than one about sustainability), and she claims to not take sides but "provokes" people by playing devil's advocate. She blew up at our class over a misunderstanding about the definition of a word and its connotations about her material. That being said, she is a very nice lady outside of class and genuinely wants to push people into becoming better students. However, she did not post ANY of our few grades on Testudo over the entire semester, and it wasn't until the final grade was posted that I had an inkling of how well I did.
Dorith Grant-Wisdom HONR218J Anonymous 05/25/2015	I will not recommend anyone who wants a easy A or a easy seminar to take this class. We have to finish two 5-7 page papers, one 12-15 final paper, three quizzes, one team debate and one personal presentation. Besides, we have to read for every class and have to participate. Writing is a major portion here, so if you are not into writing, do not take this class. For this professor, she can challenge some of our conventional thoughts which I appreciate. However, she structured this class way too big and broad so feeling lost in this class is normal. Overall, I will not recommend this class to anyone, neither this professor.
Dorith Grant-Wisdom HONR218J Expecting a B+ Anonymous 05/14/2014	This course was supposed to be about sustainability, and all it turned into was an ECON course with some talk about human issues in the world. The readings she assigns are all rehashes of the same thing. She threatens you with a quiz every class, but she only gave three throughout the whole semester. Her grading system for papers is extremely subjective and nonsensical. The class is a bore as well. She constantly tries to "provoke" you, by asking a rhetorical question and then getting upset when no one answers. I don't recommend taking this course or any course with this professor.
