Comment:
She SO thinks she's really cool, but she's not and she only gives you a good grade if you sign onto her extreme leftist agenda. Divorced from reality. Only respects jargon and a world that doesn't and can't exist.

She gives amazing lectures, and she has a great sense of humour ! You'd be lucky to be in her class. Not to be inappropriate, but I'm not sure why that chili pepper isn't on fire ? ;)

Comment:
At Cal I took 3 classes with Prof Butler in my undergrad studies. I am neither gay nor liberal. Nonetheless, she was an incredibly influential person for me. Please consider taking a class with her. She is kind, brilliant and has soul in abundance. My donations to Cal are largely because of her. I've made lots of money and am happy to support her.

Professor Butler is the best! Don't be intimidated by her fame like I was. She's the most humble and down-to-earth person I have ever met. She genuinely cares about her students and is always willing to help you during office hours or in class. She will make you feel comfortable and at ease. Her grading is fair and she's extremely approachable.

Maybe she had some good ideas years ago. No more. Illustrates that rhetoric is a bunch of moves with no content. Needs to stop talking about the Middle East. Knows nothing. Irresponsible

Comment:
The content is challenging, but the class is less about accumulating quips about texts. It is about thinking rigorously in conversation with problematics that the texts open up. It's difficult, but often because it is difficult to pursue one's questions where it becomes uncomfortable. Butler is enormously smart, incredibly helpful, and funny.

Comment:
Her res gestae may be understood to structure social relations in relatively homologous ways to a view of hegemony in which power relations are subject to repetition, convergence, and rearticulation, all of which is conterminous with nugatory sesquipedality. Seriously, just master the buzzwords and you'll do well in her class.

Comment:
For all her writing's impenetrable, her lecturing is understandable. A bit too patient with the idiots in the class when they need to get shut down, though. She's wicked smart, can answer any question, and will spend lots of time meeting with you. A+.

these pple are stupid for criticizing butler's scholarly work in place of her teaching. her writing is a little daunting, but as a teacher she is totally understandable. her lectures are brilliant, and even when she would freestyle answers to questions in class, she never ceased to be inspiring. A+

It's true that being famous is not enough to be a decent teacher. She clearly thinks she's slumming by having to actually "teach."

Yeah she's smart and all, but her lectures suck because she often reads off a piece of paper the whole time.

Not so much an intellectual as a parody of an intellectual. Proudly elitist in her detachment from reality, politically unresponsible.

Brilliant to the point of being scary... her lectures are very, very interesting. One of the few profs that actually lives up to the hype.
