Spring 2019 - I absolutely LOVED this class. Professor Carruth is a really engaging, dynamic lecturer who not only puts a lot of care into curating the class' reading list, but also takes input from students to help them learn. The topics covered in class are sometimes abstract but Professor Carruth makes her requirements for the class very clear and also does a really good job listening to what the students want in order to help them learn best. She posts the exact format of her midterm, examples for how the homework should be done, her slides before lecture, and also sends out videos that students send her that relate to the class material. I really really enjoyed her class and I think it actually changed the way I think about the environment and the way the environment is imagined--if you have the chance/space in your schedule to take this class I totally would!!!! Also if you can take discussion with Robin Kello, I would ! He's a really attentive TA who is very dedicated to everybody's success and also is really good at facilitating conversation with the class.
