W105M . Fancher P J 2 Years Ago

Did not like her teaching style. Ability to convey material challenged by strange outlook on life.

WRIT109GS . Fancher P J 3 Years Ago

Trish is a great feminist prof! Class is only graded on 3 papers and weekly discussion responses. She is very understanding and provides good feedback on papers. She was very lenient and respected our needs for extensions and what not. Go to lecture, participate weekly in the forum, and youll pass.

WRIT109ST . Fancher P J 4 Years Ago

Fancher is a nice professor who tries her best to help you. There are lots of assignments and you really need to work hard, but it's all worth it. When you don't know what to do, just come to office hours and ask for help.

No tests, only papers, and works with you to edit and improve them

W105M . Fancher P J 4 Years Ago

You have to create two websites; an individual website to submit blog post assignments (2-3/week) and a group project website on a story. No clear rubric on how she graded blog post/reading responses (where/why you lost points) until the end of the quarter when it is too late to improve in those areas. She is really nice and wants you to pass.

WRIT109GS . Fancher P J 5 Years Ago

She is a very friendly and caring professor! That being said, I wouldn't take this class unless you really enjoy feminist studies because she goes overboard on the workload and assigns unnecessary busywork. No clear rubric and grading is somewhat arbitrary. More lenient grader on writing w/ opinions + experiences she resonates with.
