FEMST 20 - Dr. Thomas is an incredible lecturer. Lectures heavily review the textbook content, and allow for frequent student engagement. She is kind and tries to get to know students, even in a larger lecture. She makes time for questions which makes the course content quite easy to understand. 1000% would take any of her classes.

Lecture attendence is mandatory! But TA's are really great and the class is very straightforward so its super easy to pass. You don't even have to do all the readings. No quizzes just a final paper that she splits up into three sections. One thing is she speaks softly and has a bit of an accent so during lecture it can be hard to understand her.

SUPER easy prof & course! NO QUIZZES OR TESTS IN THIS CLASS! You don't need to do any reading to EASILY get an A+ (basically ZERO work outside of class!) There's a weekly section write-up and a SUPER EASY final group project: you'll get 100 on everything for completing it w/ some effort. Lectures were insightful & interesting. TAKE AS AN EASY GE!!!

Very unprofessional, refuses to take accountability for her mistakes no matter what. She is also very socially awkward, she will randomly stare you down with a straight face without saying anything as a way to dismiss you during meetings. She is extremely insecure about her class and becomes really sensitive if you don't go to her lectures.

Ta emily hudson was so strict for no reason and she acts so arrogant. The couse syllabus does not make sense for iclickers.

She is one of the kindest professors at UCSB. This class is inspired me to continue to taking classes in fem studies.100% would recommend this class to anyone whos can have an open mind to new perspectives on their life and challenge traditional ways of thinking. If you participate, she will make the effort to connect with you as a student.

I could not recommend more! Attendance was mandatory, but I always looked forward to lecture, they were well organized, relatable, engaging and very easy to understand. Everything in this class was applicable to real everyday life and genuinely changed the way I think about the world.

This professor clearly cares a lot about all of her students. Attendance matters, but the lectures are interesting most of the time anyways. The assignments were quite easy and straightforward, they will not hold you accountable if you accidentally miss a reading here and there. If you want an easy A with a kind hearted professor, take this class.

This class was extremely easy and very interesting to learn about. I would not suggest taking it if you are not open to new ideas about the modern world.

This course was fairly easy with a few short weekly readings each week and a paper as the final project. Professor was communicative and cared about student success. TAs were super sweet too.

Carl was by far the best professor Ive had at UCSB. His class was discussion based, but he always gave very useful context and a greater analysis of the text in whole. Consisted of weekly discussion questions, final paper, and final. Sadly, he is retiring. But hes so great I had to give him a 5 Star review. Youll be missed!

Professor Gutierrez-Jones is amazing. He's incredibly knowledgeable and kind. Attendance/homework is based off of daily discussion questions that you may be called on to share. His insight is always brilliant, but he really tries to get the class to have a dialogue. Fair-generous grader of the 1 paper assigned. Final consists of text ids+essay.

Wonderful teacher! Honestly the most fun class Ive ever taken (Sci Fi). Quite a bit of reading material but it is all engaging and easy to read! No midterm, only one paper, and short questions for each class meeting to use in discussion.

Professor Gutierrez-Jones did a wonderful job. He was clearly very well prepared and put a lot of care into the course. The classes were somewhat interesting, however the discussion-form made it essential to have read the text to get anything out of it. He graded our final papers extremely quickly and thoroughly, and he is very kind. Amazing.

Loved Gutierrez-Jones! Amazing discussions, reading was really interesting, & there's a creative option in lieu of the Research Paper. Doesn't take attendance but 20% of grade is based on daily discussion q's you hand in. Final isn't too bad, bunch of IDs & then an essay, he gives you 6 topics beforehand, pick 1. Great class, take it if you can!

ok

Carl is an amazing, kind human being. The assigned readings were very harsh (the topic of the course is human rights, so you can imagine), but ultimately very rewarding. The class grade is only an 8-page paper, the final and attendance. Very easy and rewarding class.

Carl is seriously an AMAZING professor. Has to be one of the best ones at UCSB. Trust these reviews/ratings. And take his sci-fi class if you can. The material is awesome, and his discussions really are an open forum; he welcomes everyone's ideas. He's just one of those professors that make you love whatever he's teaching. Do it. Take 192.

Excellent course. Prof was very clear, offers you a lot of insight, and the course is 100% discussion driven. You bring in a question on the reading for everyone to discuss daily (attendance is mandatory), so you really get to choose what you learn. It's also fairly easy.

I had this professor for 192 and 197. Absolutely fantastic at running a seminar course. Always left ecstatic about the course. One of the few that inspired me to enjoy my readings. Take him if the course topic looks good and you can handle an essay or two. One of my favorites.

Great Professor...Really Clear and interesting...Its all about class discussion...So participation keeps the class running...Awesome books. One of the few classes at UCSB, where you could see yourself reading the books for fun...Overall a fantastic class and a great experience

Absolutely LOOOOOVED the Science Fiction class. Would love to take another class with him. Picks really great books and I ACED the final (mainly just very easy IDs). Extremely helpful with writing the paper.. overall LOVE this professor. Highly recommend him :)

Just an amazing human being on top of being an amazing teacher.

The class was titled "Human Rights" and it was really a great class. Carl is a spectacular professor--really smart, really genuine, really nice and personable. He is really open to all interpretations and perspectives, but not afraid to express his own views. Additional bonus, he brought us snacks during one of the movie screenings!
