CollegeI loved Dr. Miller-Young! She is obviously so passionate about her work and it comes through. We had three papers and TA's were very accessible for help making this class fairly easy. Sections usually went over readings and topics discussed in class so I recommend doing the readings or at least skimming.
She is the icon, inspiration, and driving force behind the feminist studies department. while not required, her lectures feel like ted talks and really get you motivated with the material
I love this professor! She is hilarious and lecture was so entertaining. I only did about half the readings for the class and got an A. If you go to lecture you don't really have to read. Midterm and final were take home and pretty easy.
Very sweet! You can tell she cares about what she's teaching. There is a lot of reading, I read around half of it all and still got an A. You're basically only graded on section attendance and the few writing assignments she gives.
easy course as long as you take notes, 1 midterm and 1 final, both very easy and taken from home. one oral history project, time consuming but not bad. overall very welcoming environment and my favorite professor at ucsb so far.
You do the readings and work hard on exams and paper and you will do good. Classes are in lecture format, so it was boring. Discussions are okay but more work. In class, she said a scholar who she didn't agree with her was dumb. Disrespectful.
