Came to lecture often late, lectures were all over the place, and basically no structure to the class. I learned nothing in this class, despite being super invested in the topic. I feel bad for the TAs who basically had to teach us the whole class, which they did a great job of, but still.

If you're looking for an easy GE, I'd recommend taking this class. If you're passionate about global feminism, I think you'd get the same value by just reading the materials without attending lectures, sections, or doing assignments. Professor seems sweet, but her lectures are bad and even the TA complained about a lack of communication with her.

Every lecture was full of tangents and when she didn't make it through the topic of the lecture she assigned us extra work, as if it was our fault she failed to properly structure the class. She also had poor communication with the tas leading to confusion over assignments/expectations and was very rarely available to answer questions.

Dr. Coco is so sweet! She consistently tells her students not to stress about formats or rubrics. She has a very flexible way of teaching, meaning there is no strict structure. We had some VERY low-stress assignments. If you want to feel capable of creating change, take this class! She loves it when you share your insights or personal endeavors.

Very animated professor. Facilitated so many good classroom discussions, the environment felt safe and open. She cares so much about what she does and the people in her class, will take more classes with Dr. Coco.

To her credit, I believe she is a passionate professor, but her lecture style is extremely disorganized and spur of the moment. She was late daily and over the quarter we covered less than one page of double-spaced typed notes' content. Truly, the TAs were this class's saving grace. Very disappointing to those at all interested in WOC or learning.

Her lecture is very unorganized. There is no structure to the presentation she just talks about whatever she thinks at that moment. She rambles off-topic a lot. Her slides are horrible. Always late to lecture and unprofessional. She has no idea how to use Canvas. It's not the subject material that is bad, it's the professor.

She is incredibly unorganized. She will not give you clear instructions for the exams. Her lectures are barely lectures, she shows up late almost every single class. Do not take her class if you value your education and actually want to learn. She is also very unclear in her instructions for any assignment or exam.
