Selling both course readers for $60! **********

Interesting class. There is a lot of reading but most of them are good reads. Reading and attending lecture is highly recommended in order to do well in this class.

This class really called into question all my preconceptions about human trafficking and migrant labor exploitation! I learned so much from Professor Faier, and I could really tell that she cared about this subject! She's a very fun professor as well, and I always enjoyed class! There is a lot of reading and you have to understand all of it for the midterm and the final, but this class is totally worth it. The midterm and final were composed of vocal definitions, short answer questions about readings, and a long essay question about a wider topic (two on the final). Overall, I learned so much from this class and would totally recommend it!!

Class was an easy A, but incredibly boring.

This class was really not great. The material was interesting but it never really focused on the interesting parts. Weekly readings were often redundant and boring and assignments were the same. It was a lot of busy work that provided no real benefit to doing other than it was for a grade. Discussion was where we really learned things but even then it was always shorter because there just wasn't enough to cover for a 2 hour discussion. I would not take this course again or recommend it, unless you're there just to fulfill a requirement and are ok doing busy work for no reason. Not a fan of the professor or class. At least it was decently easy.

Taking Feminist Geography with Professor Faier was a pleasant experience. She's very sweet & concerned about students. It was interesting to discover that there is actually a field of scholars out there who specialize in "feminist geography" and as a Geography major & Women's Studies minor, it was cool to see the connections between my studies. The topics range from how gender plays out in places (for example, bathrooms or sports fields) to sex workers in various countries to Pilipina women who work as domestics in Europe.

The class has a take-home midterm & a take-home final which are just a few straightforward essays, also there's a book response and a reading response.

Prof. Faier uses PowerPoints, is easy to follow, and encourages class discussions.

Prof. Faier's videos & some of her articles seem very outdated and it wasn't a super amazing, life-changing class but I overall had a positive experience and would recommend the class.

I have to agree with the student's previous post on the professor because though I understand that Faier wants her students to engage in class discussion and really gain from this course, I did feel at times she didn't agree with students' opinions and felt as if she was being condescending. I disliked that she wasn't very available to her students besides talking to them during her office hours. She will also tell the class beforehand that it takes her a while to reply to e-mails because of carpool tunnel.

Faier however, is a very knowledgeable professor and will often times bring up during class about her research that she did in the Philippines and how hard she worked on improving her writing to be able to write her book. It's all interesting and I am sure she's proud of it but it was unnecessary to bring up because I've had other professors do the same type of work but they were more humble than she was.

Faier is very precise on what she expects from her students. I do like the fact that she is concerned about students' writing and she emphasizes that we should improve. However, I have to say that in courses like this ideas and opinions should be valued over more because sometimes I felt that no matter how great the writing or ideas were she wasn't completely satisfied.

I feel that in order to obtain an A in this class you really have to participate and agree with what she says otherwise she imposes her own arguments on you.

Overall though the professor is understanding and all about students, in my opinion she is hard grader and probably the hardest of all my Women Studies courses.

I'm selling both course readers (Faier's compilation and Herbert's book) for $40 total. They are in perfect condition. Text me: **********.

The class was not too difficult. Very straightforward.
