Down to earth and receptive. Will work with you to overcome any obstacle you are facing toward academic success. Was very thoughtful of the emotional energy students had throughout COVID. Proud to have met her, researched beside her, and learned from her as Dean of Feminist Studies.

I love Laury! I didn't take an actual course with her, but had her for a senior thesis project. We met once a week to discuss progress with other research students and she was always very kind and understanding. She truly cares about students and wants to make sure we're all okay and goes above and beyond to help people, a truly great professor!!

Although her tone is slightly dull, I really enjoyed this class and walked away from lectures with new perspectives. I still quote one of her anecdotes from class to others. Lectures and sections were discussion based and the discussions were very open and engaging. The class was very easy!

The class reading consists of one small textbook with only 5 chapters, you read about half a chapter a week. Lecture was interesting as Oaks frequently ask her students for their opinions. There is no midterm. The final is one essay that you have the whole quarter to work on and section breaks down the planning of the essay very thoroughly.

Very thorough and engaging in the class. Really nice and clearly passionate about the topic. Several papers that are easy if you put in the work and effort. The class is really informative and eye-opening and inspired me to become a feminist studies major.

Great material and easy assignments. Required textbook but she breaks up the reading load to about 30 pages a week and it's an easy read. Section & Lecture attendance mandatory (25% ). 2 main writing assignments, one of which is broken up into 4 assignments (total of 50%) & evaluation of campus event (25%). Easy A and wonderful course material.
