She's a good professor, the class is not hard if you do what you have to do.

The final and midterm are MC and pretty easy if you paid attention in lecture, read the 4 books, and films. Lecture is a must bc some film clips are not available to watch anywhere else and she tests on them. Material is interesting and covers the women issues with multiple races. Her lectures can get boring because she rants getting off topic.

use a laptop to copy down lecture notes since she may get pretty fast sometimes. But as long as you wrote down everything the midterm and final, which are MC questions, will be a breeze. The only thing to stress about is probably the paper. Dont really need to buy the novels since she doesnt really test on them. Overall a really easy class!

While her lectures can get boring, Bobo is very passionate!! Midterm and final are both multiple choice and study guide is extremely straight forward. As long as you keep up with the readings you should have no problems on the exams.

Professor Bobo is great. She's not trying to trick you on exams and she's very passionate about the course. The material is relevant and applicable to other courses. A great class to take, even for your first quarter.

She has great ideas but tends to be a really boring lecturer. Easy grader, no tests or exams. She prefers to assign writing and creative projects.

Lectures are dry and she gets off topic most of the time so it was hard for me to stay awake and actually listen. This class is really easy as long as you do the readings, watch the films, and study lecture notes for exams. Exams are multiple choice and there is only one paper, which wasn't that hard to write. It's helpful to have a good TA.

I took notes and studied off of it but didn't do so well on the midterm and final. Go to your TA for help because professor barely provides any help. You don't really need to read the books for you can use sparknotes and enotes but might not do so well without knowing the details.

Easiest class I've taken at UCSB. Her lectures contain all of the answers to the midterm and final (both multiple choice) she is shy but sweet. lectures are very interesting. You should take this class because it's easy if you show up and follow the syllabus.

I took a course with Professor Bobo my first quarter of freshman year. It was my first Feminist Studies course and it forever changed and shifted my lens of the world. I am deeply appreciative for all the texts, lectures, and films from this course. I appreciate Professor Bobo's teaching and for her creation of this course.

Her lectures go a little off tangent sometimes but overall I really enjoyed the content we studied and while the class wasn't too difficult I still felt like I learned quite a bit from the material we looked at.

Lectures are "infamously" confusing. Professor Bobo will go off on tangents that are unrelated; sometimes she forgets why she started talking about it! Otherwise, easy class to take so long as you pace the readings.

Bobo is an excellent and very easy professor! I'm not a Fem studies major but took this course and found it interesting and easy. No midterm/final. One project that she guarantees you can't do bad on, and weekly 1 pg summaries of the readings. Readings are easy and are provided except for one book that I bought online for a penny. Take her!

We read at least 4-6 novels, almost all of which were either boring or poorly written. The Monday screenings were a hit or miss. The final/midterm were 50 questions completely based on random facts from lecture or the reader/novels. Not an easy A but doable, professor Bobo seems like a really nice person and was funny in lecture.

If you are taking this class for the purpose of learning about feminism, then you probably won't learn anything. This class focused on representations of media which just happened to involve women. Professor Bobo goes off on tangents, and they may seem irrelevant, but there's a fair chance that small minute comments will be on the midterm and final

I really didn't enjoy this class and Prof. Bobo goes off topic almost every time the class meets and the books were boring. Some of the films were okay but the sections were alright. Bobo talks so slow and she kinda mumbles and it makes everything so much more difficult. The exams were hella difficult.

I took the Honor's with her, but not very impressed. She is nice and humorous,but not very good at lecturing. As long as you do the reading, attend the lectures and movies, you will be fine since the tests are fair. You have a paper, a midterm and a final, both of which are multiple choice questions.

People who complain that this class is too hard are not used to doing regular schoolwork. As long as one does the reading and attends lecture, this class is actually enjoyable. Not hard.The novels are good and lectures interesting, I enjoyed her going on tangents too, shows she's passionate about what she teaches.

Good professor. Enjoyed her lectures. May speak too softly sometimes. She's funny too, even though she might not look like she's kidding. I learned a lot in this class. But if you aren't interested in this subject, don't take it. A LOT of reading but midterm and final were easy. The final essay was also refreshing. But that's if you like rambling.

She is really nice, but its true when it comes to her going off in tangents. She hardly ever calls on people when they have their hands up, so if you have to say make sure and speak up, raising your hand won't do it! Don't have a "too cool" attitude with TA Foss. She while take out her inner anger towards those that she sees as being cool! no joke!

Don't take this class unless you plan to work hard for your grade, this class is hard. Attending lecture & films & reading every book is required. Lecture is quite boring; goes off on tangents a lot. Take notes on what she says. T.A.'s are not helpful at all & do not grade fairly. Tests are multiple choice & questions mostly based on the reader.

She is such a kind lady, but does go off on tangents often. Fortunately, these tangents are always interesting. Definitely do all the readings, and attend lecture and section. She tests on small details from clips shown during lecture. Midterm was way easier than the final. Found the class incredibly interesting!

she talks in such monotone i fell asleep during every lecture. her lectures are hard to follow and pointless except the videos that were addressed in the midterm and final. the midterm was easy but the final was ridiculously hard. it was all about small insignificant details from the articles in the reader. material is easy, the grade is not.

Extremely boring which almost brought me to tears..her lectures are so off topic so class always seemed useless except when we are watching a video. But tests are easy if you keep up with the readings but the 10pg long essay really really suck.
