Amazing professor! enjoyed the debates and readings, really helped to become more aware of the environmental issues we face today. Would definitely take again!

Based professor, I think no matter what bias you had about conservation, this course will make you think about the issue afterwards (no matter it gave you an optimistic or pessimistic view). I hate writing but this would still be my favorite breadth course.

Shes a great lecturer and as long as you listen in class, youll do well on the quizzes. She gives a lot of great feedback and her assignment instructions are very clear. One of the best profs Ive had at UofT

Fantastic prof - engaging, caring, thoughtful and thought-provoking. The only online class where we were able to build a sense of community and really dive through important topics. The labs / tutorials felt integrated into the class and not just randomly tacked on. TAs were great too. Something special.

I don't think it's possible for anyone to dislike Prof Riskin. She's highly knowledgeable, passionate, and enthusiastic, making her lectures quite pleasant -- her students learn lots of interesting things without the struggle. She's also a delight to talk to because she's encouraging, approachable, and friendly.

What a breath of fresh air this prof is. Assignments are high level and challenging but the professor supports students as they stretch and develop. I wish all the profs in the dept were this terrific.

WHOEVER'S CHECKING THIS PAGE NEEDS TO TAKE HER CLASSES AT ALL COSTS! Literally the best professor I've had at UofT so far! Professor Riskin is so nice, passionate, and caring. The course content is not too heavy but you can really learn a lot! I would definitely need to find out what other courses she teaches and take them because she is awesome!
