Comment:

Show up to most classes because she cares about your participation and learning your name. Just buy the books she asks you to buy BC it'll help a little. We had one little paper to write on a book and one midterm that she technically gave us the answers to the class before and then the final. Very unclear on directions all year but Easy A or B

Comment:

First and foremost do not take this class, she is a sweet lady but the absolute worst at teaching! The class itself is not bad at all, its just the way that she teaches. She does not update on Blackboard, does not give any work back, and her grading is not clear what-so-ever. The midterms and final are NOT take home!

Comment:

Get a classmate and share the book. You can finesse your way out of using the book because we discuss the same topics every class. Don't skip class. She's a very sweet woman but isn't the most organized professor. She doesn't use Blackboard so it's almost impossible to know your exact grade. You should get an A at the end of it.

Comment:

Be ready for a lot of heated arguments and discussions in class. Although many of the arguments were controversial, Professor Wangari stayed more unbiased then I would assume most women studies teachers would. A major downfall of the class was how disorganized the curriculum and grading was but as long as you show up and participate its an easy A.

Comment:

Almost every class is a discussion, some of them get very heated. Wangari has strong opinions and is not afraid to voice them. May not always be supportive of your opinions if they do not match hers. She will stress how important attendance is, but I still got a decent grade without attending much. Do not buy her book, split the price between group

TAKE THIS CLASS! Yes, she has an accent. It's really not bad. She is so sweet and we didn't do anything the last few weeks. No tests, two papers, everything she gives is take home including the mid term and final. Easy A if you participate and and read a little bit.

Comment:

Show up and talk. 1st Day of class will be setting everyone into groups that focus on a different social factor throughout the year. She'll stress that everyone needs to buy the book. DON'T! Literally 1 person in the group have it and split up the cost among your group members. Scan the book ch's for everyone to read. No tests. 2 papers.

Comment:

A very interesting professor to say the least, has years under her belt and knows her stuff. If you have taken another women studies course, this is pretty much a repeat but an easy A for a core class. If you can pull through the long lectures then it is worth taking with her.

Comment:

Midterm is take home. We didn't have any assignments before then. Afterwards we just had to do some chapter summaries. Must buy book but can be split cost between groups. Not many assignments and class is not hard at all. Sociological concepts are reinforced through the course for women around the world.

Comment:

She's a very kind lady! The class is pretty much all discussions, she doesn't really follow the syllabus and topics do become repetitive. I didn't turn in a few assignments including a paper and still got an A-. Pretty much just show up and smile, and give a couple lines of input and your good.

Comment:

She is a very nice lady but can sometimes be very confusing! Have to ask a million questions to clarify what she wants you to do. Participation is a must. Class got very boring near end of semester because you do the same thing every class. One quiz. Take home testfinal.

Comment:

She is such a sweet woman but every class seems the same. Every class is a discussion about pretty much the same thing. She is very unorganized, doesn't check email, and doesn't have a blackboard. Also, the syllabus is not a good guideline because she doesn't go by it at all. She is cute and funny though and it's an easy class.

Comment:

First,her accent is very thick. I don't know what she says half the time. Second, you need common sense to pass her exams, you learn zilch. Third, I spent 89 dollars on a textbook we didn't use (She's the author) and last, she takes forever to grade tests much less return them.

Comment:

I hated her the first week, she seems really harsh. She is actually a sweet woman with a sense of humor and she knows more than she leads on. Her accent is thick, but it's ok. She forces participation and class is so BORING, but it is an easy A. Only a midterm/final that is basically your opinion, no need to study.

SHE IS THE BEST. I LOVED HER. Look past her accent and you will be successful in the class. SHE LOVES WHEN MALES ARE IN HER CLASS, it shows her that they care!

Comment:

she's very nice but completely useless. She has no idea what she's talking about and her accent is very thick. Easy A, just show up and do a weekly paper on what you learned in class and 2 tests (Essay form)you can write however you want her grammar is atrocious. Dont expect to learn.

Professor Wangari is a sweet professor, she tells you the questions that are going to be on the test. The class is basically your opinion but be sure to add points from the movies, lecture and text. Nice teacher! Easy A

Comment:

Take her please! She is a bit confusing at times but she is full of great and interesting information that changed my outlook on women's history completely. She is entertaining and super sweet. The exams are based off of a study guide that is then USED AS THE TEST. I just took the exam it was two questions. Pay attention and watch the videos!!

Comment:

Do NOT take this class. The reviews are lies, her tests are not take home at all. That's the only reason why I took this class is because people said that and also that it was an easy A. She doesn't follow the syllabus, doesn't use BB and isn't clear on guidelines for tests. Also, she never gives grades back.

Comment:

She is the sweetest woman. She is entertaining in class with her silly perspective of things, but you still must take her seriously and respect her or she gives you a hard time in class. Watch a lot of movies and write responses on them, a few quizzes, but you go over all of the answers before and you'll know all of the questions before. Easy A.
