Professor Stewart is a professor that I believe everyone at GV should be required to take once. She is hilarious and her class is an overall amazing time. Papers are the main points for this class but she doesnt grade them to hard

The most fun and eye opening class because of this professor. She uses a lot of stories to express her points and they are hilarious. She is incredibly intelligent but do not be afraid to speak often in her class. If you are incredibly drained, be honest and ask for a mental health day. You have to read the books to get the most out of discussions.

I freaking love her! So much knowledge and one of the chillest profs. Graded basically on 4 papers. Let us do our final as a class if everyone showed up and contributed. You have to read a lot, but it is worth it. Tests are pretty easy. Sometimes class got emotional with the videos she shared. Loved this class.

I loved her. She made the class fun. Theres a lot of readings but I never read anything and still passed. Gives hints for exactly whats on the exams. 1 major paper and 7 journals throughout the semester. She bought her dog in and we had a potluck for one of the classes. We got out of 1 journal by giving her $10 to donate to a charity. Take her!

Professor Stewart was a fantastic professor. She cares a lot about her students and she isn't afraid to slow down and focus on topics that students struggled to comprehend. She used a lot of real world examples, and would often take time to relate the class to current events. I learned so much from this class and I'd take it again in a heartbeat.

Classes are always interesting and I feel so motivated to change the world after them. I learned so much this semester. Lectures are fun! She is hilarious but informative. There is a lot of reading but it is interesting for the most part. No tests and writing assignments are very easy and without a lot of formality. Easy grader, very fair.

Jen became my favorite professor after this class. She is an amazing professor and activist. She inspired me to change my direction in my career. I highly recommend her! In fact, everyone should be required to take a sociology class with her, whether they need to or not.

I loved having this prof! She was easy to listen to and the class was extremely interesting. There was A LOT of reading required with weekly write-ups but it was manageable. She was also an easy paper-grader. I would definitely take a class with this prof again.

Coming into the semester, this was the class I was looking forward to the least. At the end, best class ever. Not a blow off class, you do have to work, but not too hard if you do put in the effort. She is amazing and really knows her stuff. Every student should be required to take this class.

She really knows her stuff regarding Race and Ethnicity. Love the passion she has for trying to aid in future equality. She shows in a way that is not threatening or belittling what it means to be white and privileged, and why we need to do what we can to eliminate unfair privileges.

Jen is amazing. Every student at GVSU should be required to take 382 with her, I bet it would do the world a lot of good. She makes this topic interesting and can make nearly anyone want to become a soc major. Such a wonderful woman who will change your view of the world. Even if you don't need it.. take her class.

Jen is the best teacher I have ever had at Grand Valley. She's dynamic, helps you learn, and gives you the questions from the tests then helps you answer them on review day. Truly cares about her students and class is always informative but still fun

This class was fantastic. The information is fascinating and her teaching style is exquisite. Ridiculously fun but also very intelligent and focused. Jen is pretty much the best ever - an awesome prof and such a wonderful person. If you have the chance to take any class with her, definitely do it.
