Comment:

I came to the class not expecting to enjoy it. The lectures were clear and fun. Participate in discussions in the class because it helps you understand material better. Very inspirational. There are readings, but they are easy to understand. Overall I would recommend you to take professor Klein for women's studies.

Lectures are interesting and she makes sure to engage students. There is a lot of reading. Grade is based on quizzes, essays, and hw assignments. The final is an essay about the assigned book. This class is easy to pass if you study and do the readings. Great teacher and fun class, would recommend Professor Klein!

Professor Klein is wonderful. Yes, there is a decent amount of reading and writing required to do well in this course. However, Professor Klein is very passionate, communicative, and explicit about what she expects. The reading material is interesting, while the class discussions are engaging.

AMAZING class! I learned so much with Professor Klein, her lectures were so educational, interesting, and inspiring. She is a full feminist and it really shows, but it really adds to her charm. Her class is my favorite class Ive taken at CSUN! There are many quizzes but if you study youll pass. Book report at the end but its an easy read.

Full feminist and I love it. Her class was amazing and I learned so much. She made you feel so powerful with her lectures. Weekly quizzes but as long as you took notes and payed attention you'll be fine. There is a book report due at the end of the semester but she gives you a clear layout of what she expects from it. Great class!

I took her online class so I never met her. Most weeks are two forum posts and one quiz. Forums are 550 words each but they are great topics and alot are based on your own opinions and she seems to always give full credit. There is one 6 page book report due the last week but an outline is given and it's a great book/easy read! Not hard to get an A

Comment:

Fairly easy class as long as you set aside maybe 3+ hours a week. The homework is basically answering questions and posting them to the online forum. I personally did not like the class due to it being more subjective based learning and not objective. All books are used, but you can manage without them like me. Overall I recommend for the easy A.

Comment:

She's obviously very passionate about the subject. Unfortunately the amount of work she gives is so excessive that I lost interest all together and would never take another GWS course. You will be writing a min of 1400 words a week just for the forums if you want an A. Also, there are 3 reports 5-6 pgs and a final research paper 8-9 pgs.

Take her, you'll love her. she's the best honestly, it's my second time taking class with her and she's great. her hybrid class is easy but there a lot of writing which is about 500 words which isn't too bad. She does not give any tests which is the best place, only 3 quizzes throughout the whole semester and the final is an essay.

Take her class! I took her class in Fall and yes you need ALL 3 textbooks and you do use every single one! She does about 11 quizes, but a lot are take home. She also shows a few videos in class and assigns assignments for them which are not hard. Ex.(answer questions about the video you saw). No midterm. Her final is an essay based on the book.

Her class is easy. 11 quizzes but for the most part they are all take home and the answers are mostly online. The final is an essay about a chapter book you read at your own pace throughout the semester. About 3 short assignments based on movies you watch in class. Attendance is important bc she hands out the take home quiz at the end.

I don't usually write reviews, but when you come across an amazing teacher It deserves recognition. Her down to earth personality & passion for the subject truly makes the class unique. She's very clear about the material that will be covered on the quizzes and tests, and prepares you for it through lectures. Do all the work & you'll learn a lot.

Take her! There are a lot of assignments to turn in but they are very easy. I did not even purchase the book, I finished with an A-. The quizzes are not hard if you study and the exam is very easy all you have to do is study the quizzes because it's the exact same questions. I recommend taking her. YOU WILL PASS.

She's incredible. My mind was blown every time I left her class. Need the Edles book (the orange one) but not the other one, so don't bother getting it. Really interesting class. She's there for help if you need it, and appreciates participation in class. I'm definitely taking another class with her! Exams are exact wording of quizzes. TAKE HER.

Professor Klein is awesome as well as passionate about SOC! Her "Culture and Personality" class was very interesting and her lectures are always engaging! I can guarantee you'll learn something new every day. Don't be afraid to talk either because she encourages class discussion! TAKE HER!!

You have to put a lot of time into weekly discussions and weekly quizzes but honestly, this class was an easy A. the quizzes are all based on the notes you take in class, but you must master the notes before taking the quizzes. she is so passionate about the subject and she made GWS110 such an interesting class.

I took her hybrid class. A LOT of online discussions but as long as you have a basic understanding of the assigned reading, AND meet the word count requirement, then it's easy. She gave us a few take home quizzes, and there is a final 6-7 page paper based off a short book you have to read. She is enthusiastic about the subject and knows it well.

Shes a great teacher! There are "discussions" every week. This is a hybrid course. so you meet once a week for lecture and then you have online discussions, which are worth 22pts. and will add up in the end. There are 22 discussions, and they are pretty time consuming, but not hard. 9 easy quizzes. 2 exams. 1 paper. I DEFINITELY recommend the class

Comment:

Professor Klein is one of the best professors at CSUN. I wish she taught more classes, I would definitely take her. She is very clean on what she needs from her students and anyone following her guidelines can pass with an A. I passed her class with an A- because I was absent twice and missed 2 quizzes. Overall she is a great professor and easy A.
