Very sweet! You can tell she cares about what she's teaching. There is a lot of reading, I read around half of it all and still got an A. You're basically only graded on section attendance and the few writing assignments she gives.
easy course as long as you take notes, 1 midterm and 1 final, both very easy and taken from home. one oral history project, time consuming but not bad. overall very welcoming environment and my favorite professor at ucsb so far.
You do the readings and work hard on exams and paper and you will do good. Classes are in lecture format, so it was boring. Discussions are okay but more work. In class, she said a scholar who she didn't agree with her was dumb. Disrespectful.
Fun class and fun lectures. Interesting topics. There were a few writing assignments like papers or projects. A few quizzes, but two of them got canceled for our quarter. There are a lot of readings, but I got by only reading the necessary ones for assignments. Interesting easy and chill class.
TAKE THIS COURSE! u will look forward to every single lecture. didn't even mind the 50 pgs worth of weekly readings because i genuinely loved the topics. i will say don't procrastinate the essays i ended up writing a 13 page essay the day before it was due and i stayed up until like 5am doing it. section attendance is graded
Due to the TA strike, my time in this class was very limited, but by far it's the best class I've taken at UCSB. Many readings were assigned but I found them to be engaging, informative, and genuinely interesting. Attendance is mandatory in the section but TAs are very understanding. Overall, I would take this course again if I could.
This class was one of the pre-requisites for the FEMST minor, I was excited about the content of the class but the whole course felt disorganized. While the content was interesting and she clearly cared a lot about the topic and students, in her lectures she would go off on irrelevant tangents. Otherwise, she was very engaging and knowledgable.
FEMST150 was just okay. I was expecting a lot more.
Course content was very interesting. It is clear that she and all the TAs are very enthusiastic about the material. There are weekly forums that you need to post and reply to. 70% of the grade was from the creative project and the final research paper. Overall a good class and I would take Miller-Young again.
Lectures were pre-recorded and quite long but only once a week. Sometimes she'd seemed too busy to teach, but was still very passionate about the content. Lots of readings! Had weekly responses that were based on reading, very short though. There is a midterm, oral history project, and final, but the final was canceled. Graded quite easily.
One of my favorite classes and professors I've ever had. She is so sweet and understanding, and is very accommodating for online school. You can tell she is genuinely passionate about the subject, and it's reflected in her lectures. The TAs grade leniently and a lot of your grade is based on participation, midterm/final, and oral history project.
I love Professor Miller-Young so much! Not only has she been extremely accommodating amidst the pandemic, but she's just a lovely person to talk to outside of class. She's a really cool woman who's also done some incredible projects outside of UCSB. Would highly recommend any of her classes!
