FEMST181 . Barvosa E 8 Months Ago

course is made up of lecture attendance, weekly gender journals, essay topic paragraph, two outlines, final paper, and final short essay exams. barvosa is very passionate about feminist theories she teaches but it can get a little confusing. she has no lecture slides and doesn't input grades throughout the quarter, she also doesn't reply to emails

She doesn't teach real feminist theory, only content that she has invented and has nothing to do with ACTUAL feminist theory. Her theories that she teaches are poor social science and super subjective, all centered around her personal beliefs. She belittled those who challenged her at all. My final was applying yin and yang to the movie Encanto...

Course consisted of weekly journals, and a final essay project broken down into essay topic, 2 essay outlines, and final essay along with a final exam. Final exam and essay are due the same day which was stressful. The other assignments were easily graded but Barvosa's a bit of a mess, she doesn't input grades at all and makes things very stressful

No grades input the ENTIRE quarter. Extremely passive-aggressive while providing little aid when students ask for help. Weekly Journals are easy enough but the term paper lacks instruction and clarity and is due the same day as the Final which also lacks clarity in what she wants from her students. Most work out of any online class ever taken.

FEMST181 . Barvosa E 3 Years Ago

In the class, completed journal, essay outline, final exam with three essays, and a final paper but receive scores of neither of these assignments. Participated in all group discussions and did extra credit but still a B. She did not respond to email after the final grade popped out on you gold. Irresponsible teacher and highly unorganized lecture.

The online version of 181 has been so confusing. Spilt up the weeks into two "Cycles" but was inconsistent with posting readings (avg. 10-15 a week) and would change the schedule. Not great with communicating, and can be passive-aggressive over the UCSB Nectir chat. Gender journals due once a week, mid-term paper with unclear instructions. Eh.
