Students thought the best aspects of this course included the topics covered, the light workload, and the group project. Students had the opportunity to work in groups and develop either technological or policy solutions to the problems discussed in class. Readings were helpful and enhanced the lectures. Many students thought that the presentation style of the instructor and the lack of incentive to attend lectures were the worst aspects of the course. Some students also felt they did not receive adequate feedback on written work. More interactive lectures, more guest speakers, and a smal er class size were some suggestions for improvements. Prospective students should know that there is more science than policy presented, but overall this is an informational course with a light workload.

The best part of this course was the ability for students to observe the relationship between politics and climate change. The Professors were engaging and passionate, and the course material was interesting and thought provoking. Some students found the lectures to be long and disorganized. Exams were challenging and the grading criteria was unclear. This course could be improved by incorporating more assignments throughout the semester. Prospective students should complete al of the course readings and pre-requisites in order to do well in this course.
