Meet Alex, a blunt and slightly cynical fourth-year student majoring in Environmental Studies. After originally choosing to take a Speech Communication class to bolster their presentation skills for upcoming projects, Alex quickly became frustrated with the course's lack of traditional assessments. An avid hiker and nature lover, they often prefer hands-on environmental work over theoretical discussions, leading to their critical stance on classes that stray from traditional grading. Nevertheless, Alex remains hopeful about finding the right courses to inspire their passion for sustainability.
