Kemi Fuentes-George

I took this class with Kemi Fuentes George and Prakash and they were great. I enjoyed the material and the class in general. They gave a large amount of feedback on my papers which was helpful for improving them!

While I am very interested in the material covered by the class, the way it was structured was quite repetitive. There was a lot of reading for each class, with lots of repetition within it. When it comes to assessment, it is self-graded, but there were lots of assignments. We had 2 reading responses, a policy memo as well as a group project in a form of a video, which is more assignments than most my other classes at Middlebury. The structure and workload of the course is the reason why I don't think I would take the class again, despite my interest in environmental politics.

This is an interesting course to take if you are at all interested in learning more about institutional handling of environmental issues. The lectures can be a bit fast-paced but the papers are straightforward and there isn't a lot of additional work throughout the semester, aside from constant reading each week.
