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.

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!

Professor Miller-Young is very knowledgeable and passionate about this subject. She is also exceedingly kind, helpful, and smart. Her office hours are actually helpful, especially for projects. The class itself is super informative and helped me make sense of the world we have today. This is one of my favorite classes I ever took at UCSB.

Professor Mireille is so sweet and caring. She made class incredibly interesting with the readings and guest speakers at lecture. 6 quizzes based on the reader, one long essay and one creative project. The class and material is very leftist but offers a valuable perspective on highly politicized issues

genuine and passionate and intelligent. Do the ready and you get an A. DOn't take this class if you aren't willing to put in the work or if u aren't upset with what is going on in the world.
