Dan Suarez
Class time mostly consisted of lectures and small group work. Readings for class were long but easy to skim. A few papers were the main assignments. The final was a take-home assignment with short response questions.
In this class you have multiple discussion posts due a week on multiple readings for the day, some days are heavier than others but the readings are interesting enough to keep you engaged and you won't get bored. Professor Suarez is an incredible professor who really is dedicated to helping and understanding his students and their concerns.
There are a ton of readings for the course, and it definitely covers environmental policy more than a history of the environmental conservation movement, which is what I was looking for. Despite this, the material was valuable and I learned a lot about the policy cycle and how certain important environmental policies were passed. We also talked a lot about how the current federal administration was and would continue to impact the formation of environmental policy.
