FEMST80 . Dasgupta D 15 Days Ago

Prof. D. cares about her students, but I learned nothing. Syllabus was basically copy-pasted from FEMST 20 last quarter. Canvas was beyond disorganized. Prof canceled about a third of lectures, usually with less than an hrs notice. Assigned her own articles several times. Gave notably unclear directions (even my ta said so). felt like 2 units not 5

took this as an async summer class and absolutely loved the material, lectures, and projects. grading criteria was clear and so was assignment expectations. the projects were designing a magazine, video project on queer news, and another video project conducting an interview with someone. highly recommend taking this prof if you have the chance!!

FEMST80 . Ward Jane 1 Year, 18 Days Ago

Professor Ward is great! Discussions in class were so interesting and I appreciate how she talks to us like scholars not students. The content of this class was so interesting and she provided a really interesting perspective of the content. Really engaging lecturer and she had many fun anecdotes. Such an amazing professor definitely take her!

Prof. DasGupta is wonderful. She has a lot of experience with hands-on activism. All assignments were writing projects and he is very accessible outside of class. You can email her drafts and she will give you feedback. Most lectures are based on his experiences and class discussion. Lectures get more fun as more people engage in discussion.

Good professor who really makes you think. The course is very reading heavy but you can get by from just skimming (I don't recommend it but I did it so lol)

Easiest class I have ever taken and will ever take. Every assignment was some kind of writing, 4 1-page reflections, 1 2-page book review, and a 4-page final. I am a horrible writer but got a 100% on everything and in the class. Section is "mandatory" for a grade but it really just depends on your TA for grading.
