Mez Baker-Medard

Professor Mez is like a MOM who is SO CARING AND THOUGHTFUL to a freshman. She always explains everything in detailed and can always lead the discussions successfully. The assignments are also very interesting.

Professor Baker-Medard is very good an introducing American environmental policy. The course is by itself very technical and focused on institutional frameworks. However, Mez's teaching style also prioritizes environmental justice and intersectionality. The lectures are fast-paced, and the readings are very intense (up to 80 pages a week). Papers' were project based and although long they were insightful and really connected to course material. I really recommend this class!

I loved this class. It's definitely geared toward juniors/seniors which results in the class being able to go deep into the content and have really wonderful discussions. The aspect of this class that I most appreciated is Mez's teaching style. She is very flexible, understanding, and truly cares about her students' experience. She asked us for feedback throughout the semester and was very responsive to our visions for the class. This class does require quite a bit of reading and writing: almost-weekly canvas responses, several papers, and multiple, lengthy readings ahead of each class. Mez takes note of when you attend class and office hours, and is truly invested in her students' academic and personal success. I found this class to be very valuable and I would happily take it again.
