This class was horrible. I'm so serious, she was boring half the time then when she put notes up on slides which didn't happen all that often she went way too fast for you to get any notes.The sections were no better. in both the lectures and the discussions we got off topic way too much. This class was not what I expected and I didnt learn much.

fun... different teaching style

I really think she gets a bad rap. Her lectures are somewhat relevant but she tends to digress. The good thing about her is she's pretty lazy and slacks off on teaching/grading so its not hard to do well. Go to office hours, make sure she knows your name, don't annoy her in lecture, do decent work and you'll pull an A, no problem

i hated this class. i held no interest whatsoever in the topic and it was tons of work. i did get a b though, without reading any of the books in their entirety and just by attending lecture and hardly taking notes.

The material in the class is very interesting, but the lectures are pointless and have nothing to do with the material. You have to attend lecture and discussion because the take attndance. The midterm is very easy. You have to write a 10 page paper and the final is a take home, so you have to write two essays. Beware u might fall asleep in lecture

The class isn't too hard as long as you attend all of the lectures, discussions, and screenings. The TA's take attendence at everything so make sure you're there. It's also important to do all of the readings. The class isn't too bad and it's kind of funny when the professor goes off on tangents.

DONT TAKE THIS CLASS WITH HER. !! all i have to say.

Man Hating 101!!!

The purpose of this class is to investigate the ways in which women of minority groups are portrayed in lit and film and how feminist writers reconstruct these portrayals. It's a great premise and the material is interesting, but Bobo is the worst professor I've had at UCSB. Unclear lectures, rambling, biased. Easy midterm/final, though.

she rambles

awful

Awful, biased class. So left, it's just as bad as her right adversaries. Sexism desguised as feminism.

Worst professor ever! He lectures have no relevance to the midterm and final. I felt like I was taking a film studies class. She acts like her opinion is the "right" opinion and pretty much only talks to her TAs during lecture. She is very unapproachable. Don't take this class!

Ok. Most boring class ever. Learned nothing from this class at all, even about film, which most of the class was about. I did learn from my OWN research on it, though, for the final 6-8 pg paper though. The TAs are wonderful and section is always fun (weird, i know) but you literally can go to 0 lectures and get an A.

This class is a mess. There is absolutely no need to go to lectures, just do the reading and go to the movies but she takes attendance for EVERYTHING so you are forced to attend. She is the worst lecturere I've ever had and just babbles about nonsense that will make no difference in the long run. However the class wasn't hard at all.

She babbles - her lectures lack coherent thought, clarity, and any edicational value whatsoever. She nspent most of the lectures asking if we have seen different movies and going on about different people in the film industry. I leared more about film than about women in this class, but that considered, I learned very little about either.

bleh! class is so hard to sit through! her lectures aren't very clear, i don't know what exactly to take notes on, and the class seems to be directed more for her three TA's. the class is ok, but it depends on the TA that you get. unfortunately for me, i got the hardest one. i would not recommend this class at all.

This class should be a film class! it requires a 2hrs movie night a week. attendance is mandatory at lecture, discussion, and the movie. Its a pretty easy class and fulfils a bunch of GEs, but it was not what i expected...pretty boring and hard to sit through lecture.

prof. bobo is talented and interesting. very helpful and cares about students. good choices of films in classes
