This course really made me interested in environmental studies. Very interesting material. Assignments mostly papers, no exams or quizzes (at least in my class.) She's very animated and passionate about the topics for the class, and it shows.

Take home final. Loves the topic.

Very easy class. Take home final. Practically got a 100% in her class. This is definatly a GPA booster

good class, very opinionated, which i like. class is very useless and this class is so easy that i dont even think about it.. which makes it harder.

Her last name is WANG for crying out loud. How awesome is that? Other than that, I found it hard to stay awake most of the time. Easiest A yet.

Easy class, very easy class. Very biased, doesnt use a source for lecutres, only opinions. Made for those liberal environmentalists, as a conservative thinker there was a lot of fustration in the class. No need to go to class either, a very easy "A"

Easy class. I really liked it. Learned a lot. Made me think about my consumer choices.

good class, intersting topics, but make sure you keep track of your papers (we had some problems with grades not being accounted for last term)

Grace is awesome. She's friendly and personable and although she is one sided, people need to realize that this is an ENVIRONMENTAL studies class. She does a great job for a class this large. Nice professor! The only thing that would be nicer in her class is a little more discussion and less "sticking" to her notes.

A solid teacher,quite knowledgable,but too predictable.She reads off her powerpoints.It's true that she's biased,but the person who claimed she docked him because he disagreed with her is wrong for 2 reasons.I have diametrically opposite views too,but it didn't cost me.Also,a TA grades 1/2 her papers.Maybe it wasn't even Grace who graded his paper!

I agree that she is not going to punish you if you disagree with her environmentalism. I am far from being an environmentalist and challenged her a few times. Each time she made a fair effort to address my questions straight on. While she did not necessarily change my opinion, I respected her a little more for that. I got an A-minus, too! :)

Grace teaches students about environmental responsibility.She loves nature just as the other Huxley teachers. People who do not care about environmental issues should not take Huxley classes. I thought Grace was a good teacher and a wonderful human being. But I admit, I am "tree-hugger" environmentalist Huxley major.

great teacher

I think Grace is a really good teacher and knows her stuff really well. She is organized and passionate about her classes, and is very helpful if you have questions. She is friendly, fun, and makes class exciting. This is my first year at Western and this class was by far my favorite. I would highly recommend her as a teacher!

Great class. Eye-opening and fun too. Really nice and funny professor.

She is way too self-righteous for me, and she just reads off the powerpoint slides, but she does say some interesting stuff and the class is pretty easy.

Class was easy and I really didn't need to show up every day to know what was going on. Very vague, generalized views on topics, I was thinking a 300-level class would be a bit more in depth but overall i liked the class.

i felt like i was in high school all over again with the class. Env. science 101 is much more interesting than 202 which is also an intro class. if taking this course for a GUR, take something else--it's all basic env. stuff that you probably already know, like recycling and crap.

Class was pretty easy! More interesting than environmental science! It's more like the little things you can personally do to help save the environment! Flush toilet paper and tissues... don't throw them away! Professor was okay... could be better, but gould be worse!

She is really excited about the subject, which makes the class more interesting. You don't really learn that much new information if you've taken envi. sci 101, but she does go more indepth. The tests are kind of random, but overall it is a pretty easy class!

Her perspicacity is matched only by her pulchritude.

I thought she was a very understanding professor. I didn't have a chance to do the regular extra credit she gave out so she let myself and some other students do our own. The material in the class was easy for me because I was also taking ES 101 and they cover the exact same stuff almost.

grace is great, easy class learned a lot, i would highly recommend her.

This class really taught me a lot about living more sustainably. The lectures were very straight forward and easy to understand. She did, however, sometimes test on very small details. Overall, Dr. Wang was a good professor. Take this class if you are interested in the environment and how it is being affected.

Grace is really nice, I just don't think she puts up with anyone's crap. If you are immature and want a "do-nothing, boring" class, then don't take it. She assigns good reading material, the tests are fair (usually online), and the paper we had to write was not THAT strenuous. I recommend her!

I found her material really engaging and interesting. She is passionate about what she teaches and I believe she does an excellent job teaching. I took environmental studies 202, it was a great class, no texts books were used but we read 2 novels and the tests weren't too hard and were mostly on lecture material.

Great teacher. I liked her a lot her lectures were very clear and relevant to the quizzes. Final exam was actually not difficult. Read two novels that were interesting. Overall easy class I recommend it.

I've taken a few classes with her now, and would take another if I could. A lot of writing (papers + take home exams) but she is a very easy grader. You learn a lot from the readings and reaction papers, and she is always available for extra help. You can tell she really cares about teaching. Super nice, really funny, definitely worth taking!

Fabulous great lecturer, great prof all around great! Class was always interesting and the tests were straight forward if you attended class. Only complaint is the amount of movies we watched.

This professor is awesome, she teaches everything really well and actually has an extreme liking for the topic! I learned a huge amount. Her guest speakers aren't amazing, but her lectures are really awesome. And no textbook! Whoop whoop!

I've taken 3 classes with Grace and she is by far one of the best professors I've had at Western. She makes issues easy to understand and is clear about what she wants in her assignments. She's also very passionate about environmental studies and a great, engaging lecturer.

Absolutely wonderful class, fueled my now strong passion for the environment! I am minoring in Environmental Studies because Grace made it so easy to fall in love with. Tests were not hard and she really cared about whether the class was engaged. Took 197C and 202 with her...both awesome. 197C had different speakers every class on different topics!

This instructor is enthusiastic about the class and it translates well to the students. She conveys her passion about the environment, but importantly is also pragmatic. I heartily recommend this instructor for anyone interested in environmental studies.

I really liked Dr. Wang! She was nice, clear, reliable, and interested in the subject. I'm a little bias on the subject as I want to major in Environmental Studies, so I won't comment on the course content. But, overall, Dr. Wang was a great professer. I highly suggest her!

Great class! You have a few questions from the book, although its not life or death. Wang made the class fun with videos and not a lot of lectures. If you get a chance to take the class do it.

I loved this class and looked forward to it. Professor Wang typically lectured or showed videos. Take notes, but you only need to know the material that she bolds or colors (any of that could be on a quiz). Quizzes are short and easy if you pay attention, memorize the few things she tells you to memorize, and read through your notes.

Great teacher. Not intimidating at all and grades easily. She is interested in students participating and actually learning. participation is a large portion of the grade so if you hate going to class I would not recommend her. Overall, if you go to class, show you care about your learning, and do the work you can get a good grade.

Great professor. Knows what she is talking about and is good at keeping the class interesting.Lots of movies!

Dr. Wang was a very good professor. She made sure her class was interesting, and it most definitely was. We watched a lot of videos and movies. The only thing I would like to point out is the fact that her tests/quizzes were a little harder than you would expect. Minus that fact, Dr. Wang was very passionate and a wonderful lady.

Fantastic class!I would recommend this course to anyone regardless of major. Very relevant.

This class is an easy A. You have to go to all the lectures because there's a guess speaker each time who you have to write a short journal entry about. Journal entires and essays are super easy and short. She pretty much automatically gives you 100% as long as you do them. She never actually teaches, it's just guest speakers

Grace made class very easy to follow. Presented slideshows every day and text in red was important and what we needed to know for the tests. There were two lengthy quizzes and a final exam. There is also an extra credit opportunity. The book is an easy read and used for the second test.

This is a very easy class, but it comes across as propaganda half the time, which was really annoying. I would still recommend it if you like environmental stuff.

Dr. Wang is probably the most coolest prof ever. She is so into the environment and teaching about the environment and the coal trains and such. The class was easy, just a midterm and then a final which are not multiple choice, but very easy. I enjoyed this class and learning from Dr. Wang

Grace is pretty awesome! Class consisted of lectures and reading one book based off the theme of the class (ours was on our trash). Utilized many visuals and always has a PowerPoint for each lecture. Movies and YouTube videos were interesting, even funny (started watching John Oliver after seeing clips in this class). Great prof and great class!

All of the information in the class has been beaten into me time and time again so I would not say I was super into the course, but she puts everything in a easy to swallow way which is good for an intro course.

really interesting class, Dr. Wang is very understanding and cool.

Basically a reading/writing class. Weekly journal entries, 2 papers, and a final paper & group project at the end. If you're not interested in sustainability it'll be boring. But overall, I learned a lot and the work isn't too rigorous. She can grade hard on papers so be careful on that. Recommend if you're looking for a filler class.

This class is literally ran by guest speakers, and you need to be there in order to incorporate their lectures into the weekly journal entries. There's weekly readings as well, 3 papers and a group project. (No final exam) Overall, an easy class to take. Grace is a pretty nice person as well & offers help if you need it in her office hours.

Great Class for anyone interested in the Environment. Doc. Wang is a great teacher and provides students with plenty of tools to succeed in her class, she's a very down-to-earth and caring person in general. Class is pretty moderate on workload and difficulty. Good Class for freshman, would definitely recommend.

Dr. Wang is such a sweet person. You can tell she is very passionate with what she does. The class can get pretty depressing though, because it's basically how the environment is deteriorating at a rapid pace due to American culture. Super easy class, although there are not many assignments. Only two short quizzes and a final.

Dr. Wang is an amazing professor. She cares about her students and is always available to for help or just to talk. Her knowledge of environmental issues and sustainability is profound. She really cares about sustainability and the environment and its inspiring to hear. Her classes interesting and fair. Quiz are usually on Canvas. I recommend her!

I went into the class not expecting to really care or be engaged in the topic, but she did an amazing job of making it feel accessible and engaging. I learned a ton and was really impressed that she was able to keep the lectures interesting for the full hour and 20 minutes

Wang is lovely. Her lectures can be a bit lengthy and reliant on PowerPoint; however, she is knowledgeable and truly passionate about the environment. She is well-respected and brings in a lot of interesting guest speakers.

This class was fun and an easy A, but you are graded o whether or not you participate while in your groups. Only read the intro of all readings and wrote my reflections based on that, but the guest lectures in class which happen every class period you probably want to be there for so you can write a reflection on it. Need to do all the reflections.

Grace is smart, kind, and a good lecturer. I learned a lot, especially from a lecture class, and hold a lot of respect for Dr. Wang. Fantastic professor

Grace is AWESOME! This was my second class with her and I really hope I get to have another class with her. I would leave class so inspired by her! She's awesome and I highly recommend her!

Grace is your average professor and I liked her for the most part. Her content is great and she knows what shes talking about. She may come off as a little intimidating at first, but shes not at all.

A great professor and a great class... Some of the best lectures I have seen here at western, VERY well put together, Quizzes are easy and the topics are interesting and eye-opening. Would absolutely take her class again.

Wang is an awesome Professor! This is my first class with her, and being a 3 credit course its really not hard at all. Your grade sits one 2 super easy opinion papers and weekly, short journal entries (75%) and a solely student designed group project (25%). If you keep up with the readings and show up to class, easy A.

Prof Wang is likable and good in lecture, but the quizzes were not great. She pulled kinda random stuff from readings and films and it didn't feel like we were being tested on main points. Also, tests are timed and online and I felt rushed on several of them. I liked her but the class was a little harder than I expected.

Loved this class. The zoom layout was perfect and she was engaging. Grace is also an understanding and kind person.

She really values your opinions as a human and student i loved her so much.

I absolutely LOVED her class. I actually took her SMNR 101 course but it wasn't an option. She is a super amazing person and I just loved talking to her. Just know that she does grade on attendance at the end of the quarter, and since there aren't a lot of grades it can really hurt if you don't show up.

Interesting class (I took UEPP 202), I felt that it could've been more organized. Lots of random information that made studying for tests difficult. Overall pretty cool.

Grace Wang's teaching shows she truly cares about sustainability and is an inspiring person to be taught by. Class discussions are rare but when they happen, Grace is eager to hear about each person's perspective on a subject. I would recommend taking a class with her!

Grace is my favorite professor at Western. She's truly fantastic. Lots of experience in her field and very knowledgeable, but also very personable and kind. Highly recommend her to anyone.

Very kind professor! This class felt more like a 100-level class introducing most fundamental environmental topics but was still interesting nonetheless. Graded by a paper alongside an in-class midterm/final. Mostly lectures with some group discussions and movies. I look forward to taking a more specific higher-level class with her!

Grace is so kind and an exceptional professor.
