Did not enjoy this class too much. It was like taking PLAN 101 all over again. Wasn't worth my time TBH. Lots of emphasis on the readings.

I can't figure out why this class isn't easier to find on this forum. Global Sustainability should be a required class at UVA.; everyone needs exposure to this information. The readings are interesting no matter what school/major you're coming from. Lots of good TED talks too and the best professors at UVA give the lectures. The only real work depends on your group project, so just stay on top of that and do the readings for the freewrites. Otherwise, one of the best classes offered.

TA Michael Britt is really good. This class is pretty easy - you come to lectures once a week from a variety of people within the University on a variety of topics. Take some notes. Write short reflections on readings (but skim the readings). Mostly it's a big group project but it seems like everyone gets plenty of time on that. You meet once a week to discussion/group work. Not bad! Kind of easy. Always my back-burner class.
