Fall 2017 - If you are looking for a Fiat Lux that requires as little from you as possible, then you've come to the right place. There is no homework, no tests, no participation, and no requirements. It really is just a discussion of the topic of the relationship between our food and the environment. Professor Jay is a very nice person with a great sense of humor. She does value participation and input from students, but, as aforementioned, nothing is required of you for the grade. Also, the information learned is widely useful in everyday life, because it has a direct correlation with the choices that we make about food every day. Overall, this class is highly recommended if you find the subject interesting and are willing to spend 10 hours just chilling and learning about how your food choices impact the environment.

***GE CLUSTER RATING*** First off, the environmental cluster is great. It's ridiculously easy compared to the other clusters (especially if you took AP Environmental). A few straightforward labs, essentially zero math, and a couple of writing assignments that build up to a paper at the end of the quarter. Midterm and final are a breeze if you attend the review sessions put together by the TAs... Piece of cake. Stolzenbach is sort of an understated lecturer. His section is all about water, which can be tedious at times, but he knows his stuff and makes it so that you don't really need to do the readings to understand the material. I went with him on the aquarium field trip and he was a really nice guy, too! Definitely enjoyed his part of the class. Final Grade: A
