Comment:

This class convinced me to not become a Pol Sci major. If you want to feel really guilty for being a man, then take this course. She unrelentingly preaches feminism where it doesn't belong (Beloved, Socrates, etc.)to the point where it is distracting to the learning process. Go to class and take notes and you'll do fine, but its boring.

Comment:

I have reason to believe that she hasn't revised her curriculum or lecture notes (which she reads verbatim in class) since 1998. If the material was interesting to her once, it has long passed that phase. Wait to take this class with another teacher or be prepared to regret you choice.

Comment:

She is a hardcore feminist, however you can do well so long as you show some interest in the material. Never would have read Simone Weil before, now love her, some some interest, and college is about work and taking notes, get used to it slackers.

Hates Guys. A feminist teacher that lives up to her bill as a true feminist. Wow, she is bad. Good luck with political theory.

I like Prof. Mills, yes, she's a pretty hardcore feminist and doesn't take criticism well but she's a good Prof., very understanding and knows a lot about political theory and the feminism movement. Her classes aren't very fun though.

HORRIBLE. Pages of notes. Rambles on and makes no sense. Large papers always do the day after spring break or holiday weekends then takes months to hand them back. Grade depends only on attendance and 2 papers.

Pol. Theory - Interesting concepts, but lectures relatively incoherent- much rambling- pages of notes- and you left to dig for the point.
