Worked with her on contract and found her to be extremely knowledgable. She opened my eyes to the atrocities happening in todays world and helped me find new ways to reach my students. She is a wonderful woman and a joy to work with.

Really good for an introduction to ME studies. Weak as far as covering different sides of an argument, but does use a broad arrangement of texts.

Comment:

Unfortunately she is just not qualified to teach about the Middle East. Rather than providing students with knowledge they need to engage and combat the paradigms in question, she attempts to train them as activists. Perhaps this is because her knowledge base is in English Literature, and is seriously lacking in history and politics of the region.

Comment:

Therese deals in the study of marginalized voices--the views and experiences NOT heard in popular education. I think she is amazing and one of the best professors I've ever had. She was always encouraging, never dominated in seminar, and has vast knowledge of feminist studies and the Middle East. She is awesome.

Comment:

Therese is a hard professor who expects a lot from her students, but is fair and supportive. Her lectures are well organized, engaging, and intelligent. She's a brillant woman who knows what she's teaching. She gives a lot of feed back on papers with helpful comments. I urge anyone to take a class from Therese before they graduate.

Comment:

Therese is the best! I highly recommend her to everyone. As far as her being "biased" towards Palestinians, she presents a balanced view of middle eastern issues often exploring elements our traditional media ignores. She is not the easiest, but you will learn alot from her if you open your mind and think critically about the material presented.

Comment:

People say she is biased towards Palestinians, but are you kidding me? Thank goodness, cause I don't see a lot of folks pulling for Palestine in the U.S. In other regards she's a valient professor who keeps and open mind towards other views.

Comment:

Exteremly biased against Israel. Even though she claims to keep an open mind, she presented one side of the struggle in the middle east, and provided little voice for the other side to make its case. This class does not present a fair academic look at this complicated situation.

Comment:

Her middle eastern studies class was slanted towards Palestinians, but not by very far. It's not nearly as bad as the slant towards Israel that you see on the news every day. She assigned a book a week for a 4 credit 5 week class. The "Roots of Terrorism" class should've been called "Roots of Arab Terrorism" because that's all we covered. It was basically a modern history class. Oh, and we watched really informative and entertaining videos.

She is very passionate and involved with her subject - she will help direct you towards your own passion within the subject of Middle East Women's Studies.

Comment:

She promised a tough academic environment, but lost many students' papers and let seminar turn into personal stories. I asked if we could talk about the books she said I was being argumentative and I should keep my opinions to myself. My classmates exhibited more maturity than she did.

Therese is the best professor I've had at Evergreen. She is very knowledgeable and well-read, but not arrogant. She is great at running Seminars, which is so important at TESC. I hope I can take more credits from her in the future.
