Comment:

Professor Greenebaum is awesome. She always makes lectures fun and interesting. She likes to engage with students as much as possible. This is why Participation matters, as long as you participate in at least one in every class you'll get a good grade. Lastly, Make sure you do your assignments on time because she does not allow late assignments.

Comment:

Professor Greenebaum is extremely engaging in her lectures. She encourages class discussions and for students to speak their mind. There is a midterm, a final, 2 essays, and 5-6 written responses. The lectures can sometimes feel heavy but the class goes by quickly because she spends most of the class making real-life connections. Highly recommend!

Comment:

Shes rude and unprofessional. Make sure you sign the attendance sheet (Even if you are sitting in class and the sheet doesnt make its way to you or you show up late) because if you dont then she takes at least 3 or 5 points off your final grade. Definitely would not recommend her to anyone, she has a nasty side to her.

Comment:

Hard intro class and harsh grader on literally everything. Youre allowed to have a cheat sheet for the test but very little on the study guide matches the test. Points all hold the same weight so if you lose 10 points on a homework its the same as losing 10 points on an exam. This means if you lose credit, you have no way to make it up.

Comment:

She is amazing at engaging her students and getting them fired up over issues that matter. Most classes end up being class discussions. I have learned a lot from her class that I will apply to real life, and I think she believes that is more important than just memorization. She is a bright, inspirational person and it makes class so much better.

Only 2 exams, the wording is extremely hard to understand, allowed a cheat sheet which helped, participating matters, final is a make or break for your grade, tough grader on essays, multiple choice questions extremely challenging

She's fair. You need to show up to class and understand her lectures. Her tests are a little hard when it comes to wording but she allows a cheat sheet. I recommend her because she's funny and her lectures are interesting.

Dr. Greenebaum is hilarious! Her sense of humor is a nice refreshing addition to her lectures. She's extremely passionate about the subject and human rights in general. There's two exams and you get to have a cheat sheet. Definitely recommend!

As someone who's taken her multiple times, Soc of gender was definitely my favorite. Good class discussions. Like always, lots of reading and you better do it. She's very nice. 3 exams, 2 papers, 2 homeworks (only 5% each).

Really nice, you'll learn a lot. Makes her opinion known but doesn't push it on you. 4 papers, group proj, 10 homeworks, no exams. LOTS of reading. If you don't do it you'll fall behind on papers & exams, but if you do you'll be fine. If you like animals this class is not for you, she's a great professor but I dreaded the class for its content.

Dr. Greenebaum is an incredible professor. She's very passionate about what she teaches, and if you pay attention in class, you'll become passionate too. She is extremely understanding, and makes sure the course material is relevant so she doesn't bore students. I learned so much from this course and I'm really thankful to have had Dr. Greenebaum.

My favorite professor at CCSU. I've taken two of her classes and continue to check in with her now and again. Her Feminist Theory class honestly changed my life. Doing homework and attending class was truly enjoyable. Do not leave CCSU without taking this class.

She's a very inspirational and great woman, I learned a lot from her despite that the class was not related to my major at all. She made me realize a lot of things about our society and humanity and I would recommend the class to anyone. Just make sure you take good notes and do your homework.

Even though you can use cheat sheets, you have to take a lot of notes during lectures and read the chapters to obtain information for the exam. Participation is a must. Only 10 homework assignments.

She was an amazing professor. She really gets you into the class and the subject matter. She is funny and sarcastic which makes class even more fun. Its a lecture but it doesn't feel like most. Homework is easy and there are only 3 tests and an essay. Make sure to do the reading. She lets you bring a notecard to tests.

I expected more from her after taking Intro of WGSS. She goes off a powerpoint in all her classes and you don't do anything interactive in class. She expects you to understand feminism through reading a textbook.

Comment:

Very hard to talk to and very condescending. Her tone of voice is very sarcastic and manipulative. If I have a question, i would rather not ask. She makes you feel like your question is dumb. I'd rather not talk to her period. Just come to class and leave. I'll figure the rest out on my own..

Fair Teacher. Using the book is a must to pass the class, same with doing homework. Interesting teacher and always available for extra help. On the plus side you can bring in a cheat sheet for the tests.

Comment:

Professor Greenebaum was very pleasant as a teacher. Most of the material was in the form of a class discussion and reading from the textbook, but the tests were open-ended short answers. Very easy course if you have any kind of interest in the subject. BE WARNED: This class is very biased towards the suffering of women, little else is discussed.
