She is one of the worst professors I have ever had in my whole academic career. I would be graduating with the highest honors if she didn't grade my final horribly. I seriously don't even know how she still has a job here, no one learned anything from her stupid course. I hate her and she literally looks like a troll.

my answer HELL NO! every week have stupid group work, 2 pages at least, and make you to make your own podcast. This is very useless class unless you take it for graduation credit, you can learn nothing from this class. She just read the powerpoint. And she always think you don't come to class even you come and she will drop you!!

Can’t stress enough how good this class is!! Not a ton of work, it has a clear format every week. Lots of group work but I didn’t mind it because we fell into a routine. The professor is nice and her lectures and interesting. The readings aren’t really necessary except for the final paper

Took many of her courses! I don’t know why people have given her such low ratings, she was truly so nice and her class structure was easy to follow! Highly recommend for any of her courses

I have taken her 185, 164, and 145 and she maintained the same structure throughout all of them which was really helpful! She is really supportive and accommodating so don’t be scared to email her if you are struggling! Easy grader on papers and weekly quizzes made me continue taking her courses!

Don't take this class. I took it because her rating was average but its not worth it. Lots of group work, a giant research paper. Very frustrating trying to ask her questions. Guidelines for topics and articles for research don't make sense. She just links a bunch of reading and doesn't contribute anything new to her lectures, TA does all the work.

Prof is mediocre, mand. attendance but she just reads off of PowerPoint, for a class talking about gender inequalities she's very one-sided on issues and dismisses students who bring up a different pov. Weekly forums, 3 min quizzes 2 qs each, and group workshops. Also 3 ec opportunities. class isn't hard but I'm disappointed on the one-sidedness

I really enjoyed her class! Her layout is easy to follow, she's very understanding, and her TA's are super helpful! You work in a group for the entire quarter and help each other out in your research project and paper. Definitely will take her again!

I have taken her for multiple classes at UCSB. She does a hybrid method so mandatory class is only once a week and she gives you the other day to work on assignments/catch up on the readings. She does assign quite a bit of articles to read but they aren't horrible. There are also weekly group activities and final paper.

This is my second time taking her and I would take her again if I can. She had us do weekly group projects and a final and participation fro the grades. The group projects were not that bad and quite fun. Great class and great professor that is willing to accommodate to her students.

She's a very nice woman and a good teacher. She is very accommodating and the workload is reasonable. I liked taking her class. As long as you follow the material it should be an easy A

We had 400 words to write each week on the subject - 2 academic articles to read and respond to and a gender exercise. Easy, interesting, and understandable material. One group project where we got to pick any gender inequality that we'd covered. No confusion with her expectations. It felt more like an asynchronous class. Met with the TA weekly.

I took Raymond for 108C online during fall 20. Lecture are all async, and they aren't necessary to watch for the class, but I would recommend them anyway because she is super knowledgable and presents super interesting material. Graded on a long project with multiple parts, she gives extremely specific instructions. Readings were mostly interesting

I dont understand why she gets bad ratings. Sure, theres pop quizzes and it can be a lot of work but it teaches you a lot about sociology. Shes super approachable, accommodating and fair. I highly recommend her!

This woman is AMAZING whether you take her for culture, methods, or cultural theory. She usually has a take home midterm and final essay. Pop quizzes that are not hard if you skim reading. PARTICIPATE SHE WILL REMEMBER YOU! Her lectures might seem long, but she really just wants you to learn. There isn't a reason you shouldn't take this class.

One of the sweetest people I have ever met! She went out of her way to help me pass this class in a quarter where I was struggling mightily with mental health! Yeah her lectures can be a tad dry at times, but the material is interesting, the class is straight forward, and she is more than willing to work with students and help them when in need!

I don't know why she has bad ratings! She's really helpful and tried to make the class easier by adjusting how she gives her pop quizzes so that we can do better and offers really easy extra credit. Just two short 5-page essays on our volunteering, pop quizzes and 5 (one page) reports. Lecture isnt that necessary, I just do other work in her class

I honestly have no idea why she has such bad ratings! This class was the easiest and most straight-forward upper div course I've taken, and she's so sweet. A midterm paper and a final paper about our volunteerism, with no note-taking required. Do the readings because she does sprinkle in pop quizzes but they are very simple and easy.

Raymond is overall nice, but her expectations are often confusing. She seems to improvise lesson plans a lot and just reads off of powerpoint slides that she then posts online. She has pop quizzes which makes attendance and reading mandatory. She assigned a group project that was poorly planned out and resulted in way more work than necessary.

Do not take this professor. She shows up to class and just reads from her boring slides. She doesn't prepare for class at all and it seems like she hasn't read her own slides in years. The material isn't challenging but she grades ridiculously hard. She is so unorganized and unclear about guidelines... avoid at all costs

took this class to satisfy my upper div elective credits and it was the worst mistake of my academic career. This teacher is so unorganized and the structure of the class is a sick joke. 2 papers, a group project, and a pop quiz on the readings every week that make up a majority of your grade. Graded group projects when she wasn't even there to see

the professor had room for improvement. the material could have been interesting but her class was a bore. I just wish she would have a lecture prepared instead of throwing us into groups. i read every chapter but the pop quizzes were tricky. it was not a hard class but i didnt look forward to going.

Do all the readings & you're good (wish I did). She has us do volunteer/activism work for 2 hours for 5 weeks. if you can look past this you're fine & honestly it isn't so bad. 1 pop quiz per week at the beginning of class based on reading so feel free to leave right after and she won't say a thing; lectures dont matter at all. no tests, 2 papers.

She offers extra credit but she doesn't even give you a rubric for it. Better yet, the point value in comparison to the work required to do the extra credit makes doing it not even worth it. You're not even guaranteed full credit if you do the extra credit too. i.e 10-12 pages work for about 10 pt extra credit max but not even guaranteed.
