This class is known to be one of the easier writing 2 classes. Your grade is largely dependent on essays (obviously). However I do feel like some TA were too harsh when grading. Some important disability studies concepts were not defined in class, therefore it was difficult when writing the papers. Make sure to do the extra credit assignments and go to your TA office hours to receive feedback on your drafts. I did this for the final paper and felt more confident in what I was writing.

She is the most understanding, considerate, and respectful professor I have ever had. She often incorporated mindfulness into her lectures and always acknowledged any important political events that can be overwhelming for students. It is clear that she genuinely cares about the wellbeing of her students. With that said, her lectures were very engaging and informative. We only had two big papers- one 5 page and one 10 page. The material was so interesting and so important to learn about. She also offers extra credit for attending events. Overall, she is the best professor I have ever had. You guys will not regret taking her class.

Pretty easy class and prof is very understanding
