No test. 4 papers constitute your grade for the course. In class participation matters a LOT so speak up to show that you really care about this class. She likes to give A-/B+ to the papers but in the end I don't know if any one in my class got a B.

Comment:
Her expectations for essays were very clear, and if there is any probably most just ask for clarification. She's helpful and pretty flexible with due dates if you're really under the water, although take this with a grain of salt. Fair grader. Class isn't terribly exciting, but if you just want to get through SAGES, she's good.

Comment:
Professor Lathers is a kind, helpful professor, and she is always willing to help when you ask for it. She does take the length of an essay into consideration when grading, which can be a little frustrating when you get a lower grade because she felt your essay was a bit short.

Very nice, fair grader, though slightly irritating. Moderate workload, not too bad.

Comment:
Nice enough, but kind of annoying after a while. (Didn't help that it was an early morning class.) My grades on papers seemed independent of the actual quality of my ideas and may have been influenced solely by the length of the paper. Class discussion was relatively engaging, though.

Comment:
Madame Lathers cares very much about her students and how they perform in the class. If the class as a whole did not perform well on a test or quiz she would give us a chance to take it again because she understands that us understanding the material was ultimately most important. She knows her French and will make you a better French student!

Comment:
Prof. Lathers is very nice and approachable, and her class is interesting, but she provides very little guidance in terms of what to write papers about. She does talk about gender, but that's because it's an important part of some of the books we were reading. Some students seemed to resent that, but I found it relevant and interesting.

Comment:
Took our "Space Travel in Film and Literature Course" and made it Feminism in Space. Class seemed to be taught more to push her own beliefs than to teach, and all movies watched and 4th hour field trips were unrelated to the subject matter. Grading was arbitrary, but easy. Know what you're getting into.

We called her "professor space case", as she taught our course on space travel in film and literature. she contradicts herself and if you don't agree with her you're screwed. not very helpful or clear at all. doesn't give good notes.

Comment:
The class is very easy, probably because you don't learn anything. The topic is a good one and could have been a great class, but she rarely actually teaches the class. Instead, she has students present the things we were to learn and when that is done we watch movies. The only part of the class that I remember is pointing out phallic symbols.

Comment:
Sure it's a Women in Outer Space class, but as a guy, I found that she grades harsher on me. She tells students that they are wrong because they do not agree with her, but as a Seminar on the Symbolic World, the symbolism should be open for discussion.
