her lectures are intersting, but it can sometimes be boring. she's a funny person, and some of the conversations we have in class are really interesting. she's extremely helpful if you go to office hours.

Fujino is one of the best professors at UCSB. She is so smart and I learn so much from her. If you don't like to think then don't take her classes and don't waste her time.

AWESOME PROFESSOR! she engages you in conversation, grabs your interests and encourages class participation to grasp concepts. you struggle a little with the concepts but she is more than willing to help you out to clarify. such an empowering class and very very educational. i could not have asked for better asian am classes!

you need to pay close attention to understand the points/concepts she is trying to stress. HAHA all these people saying you need to read all the readings (600 pages), that's not true. Read a few articles and grasp the concepts that coincide with lecture. I did half the readings and got A's, and trust me if i can do it, you can cuz i'm not smart!

a lot of readings and the tests are ridiculuously cumbersome. the TAs are also hard graders.

fujino is one of the stupidest teahcers i've had. she has the mental capacity of a fiftenn year-old girl, with opinions on life and gender to match. but, the class was easy. skip the lectures and the reading, and go to section, especially if you have this ta named michelle. she's a total babe.

She is a good teacher with lectures that are clear and understandable that are semi boring.She expects a lot of reading(huge reader) but most of the reading is very repetitive. Getting a good TA will make the class easier, go with Paul Kang.

she reads way too much into her idea of society based gender relations and race. she also seems like she's making things up to fit her schema of thinking. the class has a lot of repetative reading, and the sections seemed useless too. paul's really good, michelle's decent, and yandong isn't helpful.

The topic was not my favorite, but her lectures are very clear and to the point. Her lively personality and the films help to make it more interesting as well.

Her lectures are okay.. it's kind of hard to follow b/c she uses an overhead so it's hard to follow her notes, but if you read than u should be ok.. there's a massive amount of reading though which is not so hot. Interesting class though and great lecturer.

I liked the class a lot, but I worked my butt off to get an A. I basically ended up reading ALL the material in the reader, but that only took me like 2 nights to read through it all. Anyways, keep up with the class reading and you can get an A.

She is a great professor, explains things so well and the lectures are so much fun.

I like her! She is a fun teacher. I also like her lectures a lot. The only thing bad about the class is that there is a ton of reading! In order to ace the midterm, you would have to read almost all of the reader (600 pages) But overall, i am learning a lot in her class

the lectures provide interesting new views on things. she really made me think about things but she assigns an incredibly unreasonably amount of reading.. the reader is 600 pages! not to mention she makes you GUESS whats going to be on the midterm. paul kang is a cool TA though

the only good thing about her class is that it's easy. i didn't learn a thing in this class, and, in retrospect, i wish i had just skipped every lecture, becuase i would've done well without it. she's lame, repetetive, and a ****. my TA was cool, though.

Her lectures are fun, but don't assume the few notes she jots down on the overhead is enough. You could ace the class if you do ALL her readings (there's TONS!!!) and attend lecture to see what her focus is. Overall, an interesting class. Take it PassNoPass if its just for GE req.

I can't stay awake! unless you are an asian american major or something like that... you shouldn't take this class.

Possibly one of the most boring classes I have taken. All she does is repeat herself every lecture. I swear she says the same thing everytime. Way too much reading and the grading is BS.

Fujino is a great lecturer - very informative and clear although she needs to discover the joy of Powerpoint! She teaches some interesting concepts. Take the class P/F if it's not your major-you'll learn a lot more if you're not obsessing about how everything is graded (b/c it's extremely specific

Seems like deep down, she's a feminist, and sometimes, she lets it out...

too much reading, most ppl. don't read anyways, but it's not bad, some things are interesting, lecture is not too great. Make sure you get a nice TA, your entire grade depends on them ONLY. don't need to get the new reader, get it from old students.

She's biased. It's hard to read her notes. Your grade really depends on which TA you get.
