Spring 2022 - Fairly easy class but the professor was very disorganized. There were times where she didn’t tell us if class would be in person or not. Kinda confusing at times. The actual material was quite interesting. There are two big essays (7 pages) and two smaller ones. There are no tests, only essays. We had to do a small group presentation which was only about 5 minutes so not too bad. The class was quite easy but the TA was much more helpful. I would recommend this class for an easy GE, however, be warned that you may be confused at times because the professor does not explain things clearly.

I cannot stand this woman. I had her for some Asian American Women class and it was fine, not too hard because we had a TA. Then I had her for another class and she gave me D's on all my reading response (and I normally get A's in other classes) and then she turned me in for plagiarism because I had ONE sentence that was similar to wikipedia. The head of my department said she turns in someone for plagiarism every quarter. She is also the most annoying speaker in the world.
