Started the class very motivated, and then was completely lost. Zero class structure. No rubric for assignments, and she will take off random points. Finally exam was a horrible representation of my learning. Grades are opinionated. An A student will likely get a B or C in the class.

She's super disorganized and honestly seems like she's making the class up as she goes. She's nice, but she's not a good professor.

Extremely disorganized. She is an amazing woman, but is not a professor by any means. If you are interested in women's studies I recommend a different professor. I haven't taken anything away from the class.

Comment:
She is a reasonable professor and is passionate about what she teaches. However, she is EXTREMELY disorganized and does not follow her syllabus. She assigns these large projects and has high expectations for them but then doesn't give nearly enough time for you to meet those expectations. I would not recommend this professor.

Completely disorganized. Does not follow her own syllabus and provides no explanation for this lack of cohesiveness. She seems to be making it up as she goes. Does not explain what she is looking for in any project or paper. Complete embarrassment to UMD.

Had her for Women, Race, & Class. Loved it! Not sure why everyone on here hates her so much. She's very passionate. Expects you to share your opinion often so if you're shy or uninterested in feminism/womens studies then I'm not sure why you would even take the class but if you write your papers/journal and participate in the discussions, not hard!

Extremely, extremely disorganized. She's a great lady, very passionate about what she teaches. You have to be prepared to give your opinion at any moment. Don't be shy. And also, be very clear about your opinion. She may tear you a part trying to get you to speak your mind. But seriously, she is VERY disorganized.

Horrible professor! She's completely unorganized, unclear and has unreasonable expectations. Class would have been awesome with a different professor. Her grading is very based on what she thinks of your opinions. I received a B- when I got an A on every paper returned. Often does not show up for office hours. Avoid her as much as possible!

Comment:
Truly difficult to try to learn from. She is passionate, for sure, but also very disorganized/erratic in her teaching style - her grading system is based entirely on her opinion of you, since she loses almost every assignment you will turn in. Difficult to understand, and unclear with her expectations, which are often absurd/unrealistic. Avoid her.

She tries... she really does. But her grading system is absurd. I got a 93% in the class and received a B. Not really sure how that works. Tests are easy, books are interesting. Good information to know, but as a professor, she doesnt have a clue.

i am seeing a lot of negativity on this sight. for the record, it was the most challenging class ever, but i think i learned more from it than any class i have taken so far. i believe much of the negativity here results from the inability of people to open their minds. expand, people. think.
