3 papers. 2 essays and 1 research paper. Every week there is either a discussion board or quiz with weekly readings. It's not an easy A but if you actually put in effort, you can easily do well!! Interesting topics too.

Comment:

Dr. Reed is such a reasonable and likable prof. Very open to hearing other people's opinions and experiences, and does a great job of explaining potentially difficult concepts. Grade is made up of participation and five 1000 word essays, on each of the five required books. The choices for books were great and easy to read. Would highly recommend!

Comment:

Very kind lecturer. Extremely clear about the topic she's teaching. I took Lesbian Histories and Cultures. It was interesting! but be prepared to read A LOT! she does put on a lot of DVD's so at times the class felt a little unstructured. The dvd's made me bored often but it's ok. She grades a lot on participation in group work.

She is boring and not very nice. I took two classes with her and was unimpressed. There are many wonderful professors at CSULB, Reed is not one of them. Avoid!

Dr. Reed is one of my favorite professors of all time. Class has never been easier to attend. I wish all of my teachers were this open, cool, funny, and on top of things. This class was a life changer.

Comment:

Lectures were all over the place and hard to follow, deals with and loves testing on VERY HEAVY theory content, NOT A FAIR GRADER, TONS OF READING from MULTIPLE books, a few LONG essays, and super outdated movies. With all that being said I must mention that she is fairly nice and semi open to students thoughts, feelings, and views.

Comment:

Reed is pretty cool. She's pretty theory heavy but if you understand the concepts you won't have too tough of a time. She also doesn't really put down personal experience... It might be because she's busy daydreaming and sipping her cup of diet coke though...

Dr. Reeds class is all lecture. The exams consist of lecture notes and reading material. She does use the textbook, so you need it. She'll allow open-book tests. She's funny, and VERY SMART AND KNOWLEDGEABLE. I enjoyed her class. You don't want to miss class because sometimes there will surprise in-class assignments. Great Teacher overall!

Comment:

Reed is the perfect combination firm and chill. She is approachable, but she also makes sure you understand the concepts she goes over in class by assigning essays that make up most of your overall grade. The readings from this class were boring to me, but at least I had the writing and comprehension skills to back me up and I got a decent grade.

An amazing instructor, brings the whole class into the loop and encourages discussion, but always able to bring things back on track. Great sense of humor and will answer questions until you get it. So informative and makes you think about who you are and why. Participation papers and essays, but not unrealistic. Will take her whenever I can!!!

I took her for WGSS 300 that class was easy. However WGSS 205 was a different story, the two "objective" tests were based on two different books and she didn't tell us what to focus on so naturally class average for the test was LOW

Comment:

I enjoyed this class. I don't think its fair to call it boring if you don't have a real interest in the subject.. I found her lectures highly insightful & fascinating. She helps people understand a need to be conscious of what they are subjected to everyday. She helped my thinking process evolve. Does grade seriously, so make a real effort.

Comment:

Honestly, she's a nice teacher but her class is extremely dull. She has weekly quizzes for participation, which makes it so that you have to attend. I could see that everyone was on their phone or sleeping because the class was so dull. The class is okay, just be prepared to be bored out of your mind.

Comment:

Her class is super easy and super interesting to attend. You usually just break up into small groups to talk about the readings or sometimes watch documentaries/movies or tv episodes. She gives you 5 attendance points for writing a brief paragraph in class about the discussed topic. She does grade her essays really hard so make a real effort

Comment:

I don't really understand why the person below me would give Dr. Reed such a terrible rating. She's awesome. In my opinion I think her assignments are extremely fair, her lectures are fun, and I think she's a pretty easy grader. Maybe if you suck at writing papers you might not be a fan, otherwise I highly recommend her. Easy A in my opinion.

Great Instructor. Totally informed on subject. Engages you in discussion, reading, movies and lectures. Not easy but so interesting you don't mind. Take home essay tests really make you think about the subject. Attendance is mandatory. I'd take her again in a heartbeat. Attended summer session, 2009.
