The respect that people have for Professor Miller-Young is outstanding. She's an intelligent woman, and her intelligence is well-relayed in how she conducts her curriculum. Anyone that has the chance to take any of her courses is sure to be in for a great treat.

Miller-Young is sensational. She is inspiring, caring, and extremely intelligent. She quizzes almost every week, to ensure that you're doing the readings (which are long but easy and very interesting). Final and midterm and all quizzes are based solely on concepts discussed in class and on readings. Overall extremely recommend both her and Fem60.

The readings are very helpful for the quizzes, midterm, and final, so buying and reading the reader is suggested. Lectures are interesting and she likes to answer questions. Slides are posted online just in case you miss class. The oral history paper is very do-able, just don't end up procrastinating on it too late.

Miller Young is an amazing professor! Her lectures are interesting and extremely engaging, and she posts slides on GauchoSpace. The class was definitely an eye opening experience and one of my favorite courses to date. The reader is a little thick so there's a lot of reading to do but it is manageable.

I loved taking this class! Prof miller-young is an amazing speaker and is very knowledgeable. The class requirements are a midterm, paper, and final, along with six quizzes; all are very fair.

She gives quizzes on readings so go to lecture. It may be difficult if it is your first FEM class but I found the paper assignment interesting and thought the midterm and final was very straightforward. If you do not come in with an open mind you will not succeed in this course. As with most FEM classes the assigned readings are very liberal.

Hands down one of the most inspiring and interesting professors at UCSB. She manages to be bubbly and adorable yet incredibly awe-inspiring and intelligent at the same time. I have so much respect for how she teaches her class, she expects a lot of thought and effort from students, but if you let her push you to succeed this class is life-changing.

Somehow manages to convey both adorableness and highly intelligent and sharp in her presence. I was able to have a great foundation for feminist writings and I learned a lot from this class. I would recommend her highly, and would take a course with her again.

Best professor by far. Don't graduate without taking one of her classes. She is passionate about the subject matter and it shows. She is also very funny. Really cares about her students. There is a lot of work and reading so be prepared.

I was in the honors section for this class which made the course so much more interesting for me. It was easy to stay on top of readings (a lot at the beginning, lighter as quarter went on) or at least skim enough for quizzes. Tests are reasonable. She is passionate about her class, and a great professor to know outside as well. Highly recommend!

She is very passionate about her research. She assigns A LOT of reading. There are weekly quizzes so you might want to read. She allows you to have a one page cheat sheet for the midterm and final. The documentary she shows in class is very interesting and she also has a day where she plays music videos the whole class.

Very interesting class, professor is energetic and obviously very interested in her area of study. Just 6 page papers for midterm and final and 'oral history project.' Not hard at all, go to class and you'll get an A. everyone, men and women, should take this class

I loved taking this class. Not only was the material interesting, but the passion Professor Miller-Young has makes it even more enjoyable to learn about. Although attendance was not mandatory, I'd still attend because she elaborates way more than what's on the slides, and she is so funny and often goes on tangents and tells stories.

Always looked forward to going to her lectures even if they weren't mandatory. She is hilarious but very knowledgeable and passionate about what she teaches. Took her for both Femst 150 and 60. Classes are easy, just take-home projects and papers, no in-person exams. She addresses relevant issues and cares about the well-being of her students.

This class was very easy. 1 research paper, 1 creative project, a final, and section attendance go toward grade and easy to get high grades in all of these. Lots of readings but i barely did them. Very liberal class obvi, as an independent there was some material that were not particularly favorable but they did contribute to the class. shes great!

The funniest lecturer on campus by far, her lectures are so entertaining and she gives the funniest anecdotes. The class is very progressive but she makes the topics seem very comfortable. I recommend everyone take this class to learn about sexual relations in society. Miller-Young is so animated, Love!

Fun class and fun lectures. Interesting topics. There were a few writing assignments like papers or projects. A few quizzes, but two of them got canceled for our quarter. There are a lot of readings, but I got by only reading the necessary ones for assignments. Interesting easy and chill class.
