Professor Norbeg's Sex Work class was informative, engaging, and extremely interesting. She is a wonderful, caring professor who really enjoys teaching and her students. This class really opened up my mind about sex work and sex workers and I really looked forward to coming to her class. She is the type of professor who is more interested in making sure students are learning in a stress free environment than tricking you with convoluted test questions. There was a midterm and final as well as two reading critiques. She posts all of her lectures online and gives you the possible essay questions on each test ahead of time. I hope to take her again - she is outstanding.

Winter 2025 - This professor led one of the BEST structured online classes I have ever taken. All of her assignments were due at the end of the quarter and it was up to you to chose what grade you wanted by accumulating the minimum amount of assignment points that would be assigned to each grade. Only downside was you had to attend lectures through zoom but she kept them light, showed movies, and was very passionate and understanding regarding the circumstances of being a college student. She just wanted to teach her subject and did a great job at it.

Winter 2019 - DO NOT TAKE I had to stay in the class because literally everything else was full I checked every department to get out of this class but nothing was open. She will shut you down if you ask questions, she has too many thoughts going on and tries to explain them all at once and you are left just wondering what she is talking about. I literally could not understand what she was saying it was so frustrating. Take this class if you are ready to teach yourself everything and the readings she assigns are heavy and LONG. Avoid if you can
