Miller-Young is an amazing professor who knows what she is talking about. She is inspirational, connects with students, and wants you to do well. Her lectures are engaging and I looked forward to going to them. Her information was important for everyone to know in today's world. Would highly reccommend!
One of the best Professors I've ever had. Super caring and sweet, makes controversial topics approachable and takes the content seriously. Lectures are always really interesting and often lead to discussion. LOTS of readings tho, and weekly pop quizzes on them on Mondays. Go to lecture.
Wonderful class. 6 quizzes on the readings over the quarter so it's a good idea to show up to class. Lecture slides are really heavy with information so I'd usually just listen and review later. My TA was an easy grader and I got 100's on everything. Really interesting oral history paper. Prof is super enthusiastic and nice!Highly recommend class!
Lectures are optional. If you do the reading and take notes on them as you read them, you'll do well on the midterm and final. Oral history paper was a really interesting assignment. The grading wasn't too difficult. She missed lectures to take care of her sick kids. She factored that in, and didn't include that info on the tests.
The biggst advice I can give is to do all of the readings and take notes. Spread out the reading so that you arent overwhelmed by it because there is a lot of reading. Seriously, take notes because the final and midterm refer to the readings . There is a quiz on the readings every monday (except when oral history paper is due,quiz that wedneday)
she's interesting to listen to and very informed/smart. the class is a ton of reading, but the readings are interesting. if you do the reading it should be very practical to get an A. her lectures are informational but just reiterate the reading so you really don't have to go unless there is a quiz which is almost once a week. section is mandatory
Dr. Miller-Young is an incredible person, but a scattered lecturer. She missed multiple lectures, said she'd make podcasts of them, and hasn't done so 2 weeks before finals. Classes are based more on conversation than material. Logistically speaking, there are 6 quizzes, a paper, a midterm, and a final. All are fairly easy if you do the reading.
I came into this class thinking it would be interesting. I wanted more from this class, but this class is the main source of my stress at school, to be quite honest. Only if you are passionate about fem studies would I recommend this course.
Miller-Young is incredibly intelligent and well-versed in her subject. But she doesn't really care if students learn. She missed multiple lectures, including the one just before the midterm and skips through slides so quickly that it's impossible to get all the info. She'd be better off having a podcast than teaching.
Amazing professor!!!! Best class ever
The respect that people have for Professor Miller-Young is outstanding. She's an intelligent woman, and her intelligence is well-relayed in how she conducts her curriculum. Anyone that has the chance to take any of her courses is sure to be in for a great treat.
Miller-Young is sensational. She is inspiring, caring, and extremely intelligent. She quizzes almost every week, to ensure that you're doing the readings (which are long but easy and very interesting). Final and midterm and all quizzes are based solely on concepts discussed in class and on readings. Overall extremely recommend both her and Fem60.
Amazing class! Definitely take it.
Fantastic professor. Very passionate, you will learn a lot if you put in the effort. If not, except a low B.
The readings are very helpful for the quizzes, midterm, and final, so buying and reading the reader is suggested. Lectures are interesting and she likes to answer questions. Slides are posted online just in case you miss class. The oral history paper is very do-able, just don't end up procrastinating on it too late.
Miller Young is an amazing professor! Her lectures are interesting and extremely engaging, and she posts slides on GauchoSpace. The class was definitely an eye opening experience and one of my favorite courses to date. The reader is a little thick so there's a lot of reading to do but it is manageable.
I loved taking this class! Prof miller-young is an amazing speaker and is very knowledgeable. The class requirements are a midterm, paper, and final, along with six quizzes; all are very fair.
Avoid!
She gives quizzes on readings so go to lecture. It may be difficult if it is your first FEM class but I found the paper assignment interesting and thought the midterm and final was very straightforward. If you do not come in with an open mind you will not succeed in this course. As with most FEM classes the assigned readings are very liberal.
Hands down one of the most inspiring and interesting professors at UCSB. She manages to be bubbly and adorable yet incredibly awe-inspiring and intelligent at the same time. I have so much respect for how she teaches her class, she expects a lot of thought and effort from students, but if you let her push you to succeed this class is life-changing.
Avoid at all costs.
Somehow manages to convey both adorableness and highly intelligent and sharp in her presence. I was able to have a great foundation for feminist writings and I learned a lot from this class. I would recommend her highly, and would take a course with her again.
Best professor by far. Don't graduate without taking one of her classes. She is passionate about the subject matter and it shows. She is also very funny. Really cares about her students. There is a lot of work and reading so be prepared.
uninspiring, disappointing.
