Honestly pretty boring. The first half of the class is spent talking about news stories that aren't relevant to the course material. The midterm is just essay questions that the TAs graded very generously. |

This class was a very broad introduction to sustainability, so it covered a lot of different topics within it. Professor Hultman is very passionate about sustainability and this was definitely reflected in his teaching; he was always very enthusiastic and excited to have conversations with the students. The professor would go off on tangents, which were fun and entertaining, but also led to us being behind on a lot of the material. The class is a light workload; other than a research paper at the end, there was only a midterm and a final, and very few assignments in between. The readings were mostly interesting, although they were often long government documents that were hard to sit through. He brought in guest speakers which was interesting. Overall, I learned some things in the class, but I don't feel like it enhanced my knowledge of sustainability much. The class honestly felt like an afterthought to me most of the time. |

Professor Hultman is a nice man but this class is poorly structured. For the first 30 minutes of class, it is just him going over changes in the syllabus (yes even after a month of class, he took 30 mins to go over it b/c he included bios of our guest speakers that no one gives af about) and asking us what is going on in the world. I think he has gone over a total of 5 slides and it is halfway through the semester. Furthermore, his slides are vague so its hard to tell what he wants you to know. I have a midterm in two days and no one knows what we are supposed to be studying since the questions are supposedly short essay responses like the homework. Speaking of which, we have had only one homework assignment which he has not even graded yet even though he was supposed to get it to us soon so we know what we are doing wrong! He also assigns a lot of readings that he thinks are "interesting" but it really is not; just really tedious and annoying that it's really easy to just ignore. |

He doesn't expect that much, but he doesn't expect nothing either. Lots of papers that are 2 pages long, but he doesn't normally get upset about them being shorter (closer to a page). One paragraph paper. One long paper (8-10 pages) and a 5 page. He says he is going to change up the class if he teaches it again though. Grading is generally "harsh" in the beginning but he says the number grades don't matter. Mostly interested and enthusiastic in class. Good class overall. |
