This professor is unorganized. She did not show up at least 3-4 times throughout the quarter. She will blame the TA for being not on top of the grading, but the professor is not up to date with her work. Highly advise not to take her class.

I've heard she's a good prof but all we did was watch movies and had so much reading like most people aren't taking other upper divs?? SO SO disorganized and terrible communication skills. the media analysis paper is a cool project but requiring class to print out 40 articles is insane. movies in class aren't free so pay attention or $$ l8r

This has easily been the worst class I have ever taken. Professor assigns way too much reading as if you don't have any other classes. Attendance is mandatory even though she only shows movies you have to rewatch at home later. NO teaching. Requires perfection on tests, but gives us study guide only 3 days before test on a major holiday weekend :(

she's straight up disrespectful, she shows no consideration to student work load. trust me dont take her class. the test are not hard but its a lot of work. theres a lot of reading. gives one week to study for the midterm, unless she fs up to release the questions were she will expect you to study for it in three days. no lectures just films

she kept changing the syllabus and i bought all the books but then she didnt require all of them so i wasted $45

She promised us 7 days with the study guide but only gave us 3 days. She gives way too much work and the media analysis was very difficult and stressful.

Do not take 185g with her! We had to read 2 books the first week and then 1 book per week after that. You also have to do an extensive research project and give a speech & midterm &final & pop quizzes that were too specific that even if you read the books you will not remember those small details. I am an A student in honors and this class hurt me

Excited 4 this class at first.. 2 books to read - 2 papers due in first week. VERY unclear on what are responsible for - Syllabus changed 2x - hardly lectured - mostly watched videos - NEED to take detailed notes - Quotes needed on the SG for Test - 1st day questionnaire insulting to hard working students - so disappointed

Great and important class! Twine assigns a book a week, heavy reading but I got by reading the intro and 1st 30 pgs of the book. If you link up with a group to tackle the study guide questions that will ease the load tremendously! Twine covers all races. She means business but overall is fun and a very educated teacher.

Great class with interesting topics applicable to society of today. Taking this class shifted my lens of interpretations of race and ethnicity on so many levels. Prof. Twine is helpful assignments and readings. She is genuinely interested in assisting her students with being successful in class. Definitely visit office hrs & read!

Great Teacher, even if you dont like the material, she will be accommodating and make sure you learn from her course

I was pretty interested in this class going in, unfortunately many aspects of the body were overlooked. Still, the subject matter was interesting. The study guides for the exams were given late and they were graded on a rubric that was unclear at first. I feel the class could have been structured to include more subject matter in men as well.

The course was very interesting and informative. I got an A in the course but I still have problems with how the grading scale and the manner in which the professor changed requirements and handled conflicts with students badly. Study guides were given late when promised earlier, guidelines were not clear. Granted this quarter was a test run.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this professor! She was so nice and loved this course! I learned so much and wish I had the time to switch my major over to SOC just to be able to take more of her classes! Only downfall was mandatory attendance, but if you let her know, she will excuse the absences. Great person, great teacher! Take her!

The content of this course was extremely interesting and thought-provoking. This is a subject everyone should educate themselves on! The downsides include a lot of work, unreasonable essay grading scales, and the professor is unclear/gives you the wrong information about requirements and communicates badly with the TA.

I was afraid to take a class w/her, but I'm so glad I did! She is the most down to earth, genuinely sweet, passionate Prof! I LOVED this class, it was interesting, and the work expected was fair. You read a book a week & write abt it, easily done! I learned so much about the body and myself. Take a course with her, you be happy you did! Glad I did!

Theories of Race and Ethnicity is a class that has changed my life! Twine challenged my beliefs about race and although I wish I would have taken this class sooner in my college career I am definitely glad I took it before graduating. There are a lot of readings but they are interesting, so it outweighs the work, and she is an amazing educator!

Professor Twine is a wonderful professor, and the class is one that I think every student should take before graduating. It challenges common beliefs of race and ethnicity, and through this challenge I have learned to see the world differently. Twine has brilliant ideas and I respect her so much as an educator and a scholar.

This class was fairly easy. Professor Twine is very thorough and extremely helpful. Tests weren't hard at all because she gives you the study guide a week before. The only thing that I didn't like about the course was all of the reading. You have to read a book a week which can be overwhelming at times. Overall great course!

One of the best professors I've ever had. She makes you really think about the world around you and confront societal problems. She keeps discussions very interesting and the course books are incredibly interesting. I love the passion she has for the subject and she is very unassuming which is necessary since it's a sensitive subject for many.

Expects way too much from her students. If a class is four units then the work load should be appropriately distributed as such. Had 3 midterms with two-three essays each and four paper assignments which required paying money to print out articles and rent moves/full seasons of television shows. Assumes you're only taking her class. Don't take her.

I stayed in this class at first because I really enjoined Professor Twine's lectures. She has a great sense of humor and is entertaining, however she assigns TONS of reading. She had us read a 200-300 novel a week. If you take this class be prepared to read A LOT. 3 exams, 3 group projects, final is a group project. Only take if you love reading.

Goes over questions but doesn't seem to understand questions students ask. I am really disappointed with this class. She talks a lot of talk about female empowerment, but then turns around and has a token male student as her favorite. Very unhelpful, sometimes just wouldn't show up to her own office hours

Incredibly unprofessional. Treats the class like juveniles and very condescending. Absurd attendance policy (and I attended every class on time). Makes shallow feminist jokes, rather than looking at the deeper issues. THE WORST experience in my undergraduate career (I'm about to graduate with honors, and in the top 2.5% of my class). DO NOT TAKE.
