ENVS0401 with Kathryn Morse12 hours ago

This was by far the most interesting class I've taken at Middlebury. Morse is one of my favorites, and Diane Munroe is also awesome and available to help with anything you need. The topic of the projects changes each semester, but we were able to rank our top choices for specific projects to work on at the start of the semester. We spent pretty much the entire time working on our independent projects in groups of ~4 with our community partners, so this class is incredibly self-guided. We had to write one 3-page reflective paper with multiple prompt to choose from (mine was on something that I learned during my ES studies at Midd). I gained a ton of practical knowledge and have used the final report my group made in this class as part of my resume and interviews since.

ENVS0166 with Alexis Mychajliw13 hours ago

Alexis is super enthusiastic about paleontology, but the problem sets were way too long and too many. We had 3 problem sets in the first 9 weeks of the class, each taking me roughly 4 hours to complete. I never did the readings or watched assigned videos, and her lectures were clear enough to give me the info I needed for problem sets. Some interesting policy brief, presentation, and creative projects, but overall more work in this 100 level class than in many of my 400+ level classes.

ENVS0211 with Mez Baker-Medard2 months ago

This required class for the ENVS major was made engaging and interesting by Mez. She made all of the information accessible and encouraged critical thinking that helped to further understand concepts. I would definitely recommend taking the course with her!
