Professor Segura was a very nice lady, but her class was a complete disaster. It ended up being online, which made things even worse rather then easier. We would get assignments back 5 weeks after we turned it in. It was just really bad. She is very passionate on the topic but the structure needs a lot of fixing. Also the TA was a HARD grader.

Extremely biased, one-sided arguments presented in this class. Makes a class about the roles of women in society into a class about racial inequality, totally ridiculous and not what the course description says. Attendance is MANDATORY - grade drops 1/2 of a letter for EACH unexcused absence. Ridiculous 15 min in class assignments every so often.

Awful Professor that expects you to recall everything she says during lecture and wants you to quote them in the assignments. Lectures aren't in the least bit interesting and are quite repetitive. You essentially have to brown nose her by frequently speaking in class in hopes that she raises your grade at the end.

Professor goes on random tangents throughout her lectures and is passive aggressive when asked questions. Her TA grades extremely harshly and nitpicks on little details. I tried my hardest to follow his critiques but given that there are only 3 assignments, I couldn't improve by much. Short story: don't take the class. It is awful in every regard.
