*For Gender Studies 103*
I have never had a negative experience in Gender Studies major until I took this class. Not only does Professor Hong lack the ability to consistently facilitate productive classes, but she is also extremely unprofessional and rude. She contradicts the theories and values furthered by the major through her actions. For example, rather than transforming silence into language and action as Audre Lorde would further, she fostered silences--creating an unsafe space for discussion in that she makes students feel stupid. She often encouraged students to come to office hours, but I and many other students found she is not genuinely unapproachable. While I did well in the class, I would not choose to take another class with her.
