Dr. Fosl is amazing! I loved this class and learned so much. Be prepared to work, this isn't grade school. Show some interest in the subject, it counts just as much as attendance. Dr. Fosl is more than willing to help a student who needs it but puts up with very few excuses so dedicate yourself! I recommend that everyone take a class with Dr. Fosl.

Comment:
Really easier grader (I don't think she read our final papers), but to get that A be prepared to suffer. She is annoyed by most of her students, is completely disorganized, and openly admits she grades fairly randomly. If you are new to Women's Studies, please do not assume everyone is like her.

Comment:
Everything I have heard about her is true. She praised students who offered worthless contributions to class discussions based on how "activist" they are and she does make you feel like your opinions are worth anything especialyl if you do not think the way she does about a particular text.

Very disorganized. Don't expect to get papers back in a timely manner. She shows passion for the subject, but not for her students.

Interesting material, but Dr. F is extremely judgmental if you're not active in the social justice scene. She appears to be very much about herself, which makes her interest in students questionable. I was disappointed.

VERY EXTREME FEMENIST. Not that there's anything wrong with that...but if you don't agree with her, you might find yourself offended at times. The classwork is easy, but you MUST go to class.

This was the first teacher in my life that gave me a D on a paper. She was more than willing to help me improve on my writing skills. I loved the class and thank her for helping me improve my writing skills.

A little more of an extreme feminist than I would have liked... Still, the class was interesting and the issues presented were relevent.

GO ALONG with this woman's beliefs. Easy class as far as coursework concerned. Must attend lecture- she will persecute you if you do not.

This class was one of the best. She really makes an effort to get everyone involved. Very accessible outside of class. Very genuinely interested in teaching students.

Dr. Fosl makes you think but isn't too hard on you. She has a great personality and is very easy to work with.
