Professor Ednie's class ISLA 201. She is a very nice person, the stories she shares in class are fun. But when it came to assignments I felt lost. They used exactly the book's instructions, which were sometimes very confusing. Most all my work I turned in I am only 60% sure I did it right. She is very accommodating of health problems.

She gives you a ridiculous amount of assignments, but it's actually good because you can build up points early & not work as hard later. Mandatory discussion questions every class so attendance is a must to pass. Very interesting subject & a great professor!

Dr. Garrison is really sweet and passionate about this subject. Lecture and section are mandatory but its very easy to pass if you do the homework early then you dont have to worry about the class for the rest of the quarter.

FEMST 20 does not have any midterms or a real final, just a final group project. It is a homework-heavy course but the assignments are usually simple and enjoyable. Attendance is mandatory and you are graded on participation during section but it's overall a worthwhile course. Dr. Garrison's lectures are interesting and entertaining.

Dr. Ednie is very passionate about the subject, although lectures could feel repetitive at times. You pick which assignments you want to do, and you must engage with the texts and lectures for each one. The homework helped me better grasp the themes of the course. I felt like I learned a lot, and discussions were fun to participate in.

Dr. Ednie was a great professor! Totally cool and inspirational woman. Definitely an easy A class if you do the work, but the work is not difficult. She really cares about the needs and well-being of all of her students. Lecture was cancelled quite a bit and she tended to ramble on but that wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

Dr. Garrison is such an amazing speaker. I was left in awe by many of her lectures. She is understanding and compassionate. There are no tests and you can select which assignments to complete because it is a point based class, where many extra points are given. It is a writing intensive class and attendance is accounted for.

No tests or quizzes ever!!! Grade based on class participation and homework. Really cool grading system that is flexible. Amazing lectures and discussions. She really gets students to think outside the box. The things Ive learned from this class are boundless. Ednie is funky and quirky and her teaching style always makes for an interesting class.

This class was amazing. No final and no midterm! She makes it easy to get an A in the class if you actually try. There is a lot of homework assignments but theyre not difficult just tedious. You only have to do a certain amount of hw assignments and then youre done for the rest of the quarter. I think I stopped 3 weeks before break.

Lecture got cancelled about 5 times throughout the quarter and class seemed a bit unorganized due to frequent technical errors. However, Dr. Garrison is a passionate and funny professor, and i looked forward to her class bc i loved hearing what she had to say. Say on top of your work bc you can finish all course work by week 4 (like i did).

So easy to get a good grade in her class. She's designed this course so that you could (depending on how you keep up with the work) be done with all of your work for the class halfway through the quarter (minus the final of course). She's also really passionate about what she teaches and is just a sweet and caring person overall.
