BT is an excellent Professor. One of the best prof I've had at UCSB.

BT is very particular in how she wants the 9 quizzes to be written but explains her expectations from day 1. She allows you to remake quizzes which boasts your grade. These were by far the best fem pieces I have ever read. You MUST read and take notes in class to do well on the quizzes/final. This class is doable but you have to put in the work.

she tells you from the beginning its going to be tough but also that you will learn a lot and to like the style. Overwhelming at first especially since the class is required but READ v carefully and take good notes & you'll be set for the 9 quizzes as class discussion covers every single article, but don't count on just those. BT rocks

BT is amazing and really cares about her students. There is a workload but it is manageable. You have to read but the readings usually relate theory to pop culture. Gives weekly quizzes but they can be retaken as many times as necessary. She may come off as intimidating at times but she is very much approachable. I have learned a lot in her class.
