Awful
Even though the content seems interesting, her lecture style is very boring and acts like a sleeping pill. Something very important bout this class is that the compared to the previous year, the midterm essay questions are getting longer. Last year there long essay had 4 sub questions whereas this year there was 5. It makes the midterm extremely time consuming.

Poor
Probably the worst lecturer in Berkeley. I'm really interested in topics related to the environment, but she really approached the material in such a dull way that I have lost interest by the 3rd lecture. I'd recommend another professor.

Poor
O'Neill's class was extremely mediocre, the only good part was learning about treaties. I didn't find the course inspiring or intellectually stimulating at all, the professor tend to relay lots of platitudes / basic info about international environmental issues. I found the professor speaking a lot about herself annoying. The midterm and final are Incredibly long.

Average
O'Neill is a nice professor, However the mandatory attendance is unnecessary, especially since the lectures are very dull. The class focused on the environmental problem behind treaties, and not the politics. The grading is somewhat lenient, with 50% being lectures/discussion, attendance, and 4 in class group projects. The midterm is extremely long, and final was long however shorter than the midterm.

Kate O'Neill is an Associate Professor in the Department of Environmental Science, Policy and Management at the University of California at Berkeley. Dr. O'Neill got her Ph.D. in political science at Columbia University, was a post-doctoral fellow at Harvard University's Belfer Center of Science and International Affairs, and has been at UC Berkeley since 1999. She writes and teaches on matters of global environmental politics and governance. Her first book, Waste Trading Among Rich Nations: Building a New Theory of Environmental Regulation (MIT Press, 2000) addressed why some wealthy countries still imported hazardous wastes, despite the risks. Her second book, The Environment and International Relations (Cambridge University Press, 2009), is a state of the art examination of the theory and practice of global environmental governance at this point in time. She is particularly interested in the ways new actors, initiatives and institutions are emerging on to the global environmental scene. As well as these books, she has published various peer-reviewed articles and chapters, including work on environmental social movements. Currently, she is working on various projects, including the second edition of The Environment and IR and a project on climate activism. Dr. O'Neill is editor, with Dr. Stacy VanDeveer at the University of New Hampshire, of the MIT Press journal Global Environmental Politics.
