Comment:

Lista is a fantastic professor, she cares about her students and strives actively to dismantle her student's views of the world. She exposes a lot of truths that can be hard to hear. Her lectures are powerful, causing her students to be angry, sad and inspired to make a change. The readings are easy to understand and enjoyable. take her class!

Comment:

Litsa is such a kind professor! She is very accommodating and willing to clarify anything. Her lectures are very clear and organized, so show her that you understand the main concepts. Don't try to argue very much, and be prepared to listen & reiterate the lessons being taught. If you can write and read well, you will earn a solid grade.

Comment:

Eye-opening class. Lecture are very unique. She swears a lot, is opinionated, and not v. professional. That aside, lectures are amazing and digs deep into topics and is not afraid to get into controversial matters. Grades reflect how much effort you put in. Readings heavy but they help a lot in class discussions and for the assignments.

Comment:

Litsa genuinely cares about the topics she is teaching and about her students. She is a fairly tough grader but if you pay attention to her lectures you'll be fine. This course is writing intensive and there are lots of papers including reports on films and critiques of written pieces. Each assignment varies in length from 3-7 pages.

Litsa was the most passionate prof I've encountered so far. Her lectures were engaging and interesting and she genuinely cared about her students. Would highly recommend this class if interested in social justice and are don't mind writing essays.

litsa is truly one of the most caring profs i've had-- she made an effort to connect with each student on a personal level and always gave really good feedback when i asked for help on projects. definitely gonna have to do a lot of reading for this class, but i think it's ultimately worth it because it was extremely educational and enlightening!

Litsa says she wants to help her students but is really one of the most inconsiderate grsj profs in the department. Avoid at all costs. She fake cares and wants to be friends with students but if you mess up or are going through stuff , she wont let you pass. Did all her assignments but missed class for sick purposes&she said she wouldnt pass me

Comment:

Although I got an A-, I wont take her courses ever again. I remember one time when a student tried to challenge her idea, she gets kinda irritated and repeat exactly what she said. If she does not like you or what you write isnt what she agrees, you are doomed. She will not accept other ideas outside of hers. Be careful.

Comment:

Litsa is a great teacher when it comes to the content of the class however, she clearly has her favs and those she just does not like to the point that she can write that she "admires" your knowledge as the sole comment on a paper and give you a 52 while she will give a friend a 90 and put a lit of 10 "don't ever again"...

Litsa is an amazing professor, she is the only prof I have ever had who has treated me like a person & not just a number. You'll read a lot and be pushed out of your comfort zone but its worth it. Litsa had a family emergency and tragically lost a loved one two weeks before finals, & yet still she kept up with material & was there for her students

Comment:

She honestly is a sweetheart. I really dislike the students who disagree with her interpretation of her theoretical sociology and try to tear her down because she's good natured. She is not difficult to please, just understand what she is trying to say, you don't have to agree, just understand it, and show her that you understand her interpretation

Litsa is the best professor I've ever had - no joke. In the two classes I've taken with her, she's made me a braver, more informed and more caring person. She's incredibly passionate and her lecture style reflects that, you wont be napping in her class. More likely, you'll need to bring tissue, the content is heavy. Go take her class! <3

Lisa was honestly the most wonderful prof I've ever come across at my time at UBC. Her lectures are unlike anything I'd ever witness in the best way possible. Get ready to learn lots and look at the world in a completely different light. I recommend this course to anyone!! Lisa is unreal 3

Litsa was truly an amazing and fun professor. She is really, REALLY passionate and VERY caring towards her students. It is not true that her "favorites" do the best, I skipped lectures (which i do not recommend), never talked to her and still ended up doing well. Just remember that there are LOTS of readings... like ALOT.

Comment:

Don't listen to the negative comments. Litsa is the REAL DEAL. She practices what she preaches. Of all the GRSJ profs at UBC, Litsa will actually be out in the streets fighting for what she believes in. Is her class tough? Yes. But she is an amazing person and professor, and the only reason you won't like her is if you're conservative.

Terrible class. AVOID at all costs! I read the reviews and the negative ones are very accurate. Only her "favourites" are going to do well. Be prepared to kiss butt to get a good grade. Take this course with a different prof!!

Litsa is very passionate. About everything. She will clap, yell, curse, cry, and laugh. I loved her class. I looked forward to it, and I enjoyed the assignments. Be prepared to work hard for your grade. And if you're conservative, be ready to have your beliefs challenged - in a good way.
