Int 133B, Summer 2018<\/p>\n

What\u2019s Wrong with the World?\u00a0 How Do We Fix It?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

This course is an experiment. It begins with the assumption that global climate change is real and that its causes are anthropogenic (i.e. human caused). Consequently, solutions will not be just technological, or even mostly so, but will also need to involved profound changes to human beliefs, practices, and styles of life. The difficulty in bringing this about is not only that a broad swathe of Americans deny that our climate is changing, even if this is acknowledged, the causes and solutions to the problem are being fiercely debated on the public stage. It has also, sadly, become a political issue dividing our nation. This course will carefully look at the rhetoric of these debates.<\/p>\n

Together, we will piece together and analyze contemporary political and environmental discourses to begin addressing this rhetoric. To do so, we will abandon the traditional instructional model. This is not merely a syllabus setting out an \u201cagenda\u201d for the class: it is a tentative blueprint for our collective investigation of contemporary problems and their potential solutions.<\/p>\n

Essential to this project is a collaborative model of discovering, curating, and analyzing material on the following factors of anthropogenic climate change.<\/p>\n

\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663 I thought Professor Hiltner was a truly excellent Professor. He brings a warm and unbiased attitude, presents compelling material objectively, and has a true passion for his profession. His open-mindedness is an excellent attribute, and as a STEM major I feel very fortunate to have had him as the professor introducing me at first exposure to this sphere of academia.<\/p>\n

\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663 Perfect.<\/p>\n

\u2663\u2663\u2663\u2663 This professor is very accomplished and knowledgeable, however there were two main things that upset me. Class discussion was not developed such that it was kept on-topic, and the content of most of the class, while great and informed, did not match up with the syllabus well enough. The syllabus and final essay was directly concerned with environmental analysis, but in class basically never covered that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
