Bobo is an excellent and very easy professor! I'm not a Fem studies major but took this course and found it interesting and easy. No midterm/final. One project that she guarantees you can't do bad on, and weekly 1 pg summaries of the readings. Readings are easy and are provided except for one book that I bought online for a penny. Take her!

bobo's film and activism class is amazing. she is supportive of student's involvement in the community and of creative projects. she is shy, but sweet, and really charming to get to know. her readings are a bit dated, but history is always important.

Dr. Bobo gives very clear, concise directions. She is fabulous to talk with about representation and power. The class is structured so students to learn through their experience; you get out of it exactly what you put in.

The films in this class were really interesting, but Bobo's lectures could be a bit dull. Luckily, I found unstuck ai super helpful for prepping for the papers. Manageable workload overall, just don't skip the films!

This class I thought was super fun. Professor Bobo had personally interacted with every filmmaker we watched so she had great insight into the films. She gave ample time for discussion and made everyone feel welcome to their own opinions.

attendance wasn't mandatory to pass the class and do good on the essays. class only graded on three essays spaced throughout the quarter and a final paper at the end. super boring lectures, all you really need to do is watch part of the movies and that'll be enough to write the essay. idk if it was just my ta, but she graded easily.
