Goes off on a tangent A LOT! Lecture is scattered and sometimes you don't know what to take note of. Tests are easy if you keep up on the assigned readings. Also there's a 10 page critical analysis due at the end of the quarter, which sucks.

This has definitely been my least favorite class this quarter. Lectures are very scattered and at times you have no idea why what she is talking about it even relevant to Feminist Studies. There is a TON of reading.. none of it very hard and the TAs take attendance everyday. On the upside the tests are super easy if you've done the readings

Honestly, I dont really understand the negative comments AT ALL. if you do the work, you will get a good grade. pople are just upset because the class CHALLENGES YOU. its college. thats what is supposed to happen. she is an amazingly knowledgeable professor. super helpful. I have taken 3 classes with her and would take any more offered

i am currently taking her and the class is coo.. we watch movies and discuss them.BUT OMG that woman talks and talks.. she is very long winded.and she goes off topic a lot! but the midterm id multiple choice, and u hav a research paper and reg take home final.. pretty chill.. if u can stand her voice for 2 hrs

Tedious lectures with really random tangents and unorganized structure. Could do a lot more with the class material. multiple choice midterm and final with a 10 page cultural analysis/research paper (free topic). class material was interesting, just not the best professor. A bit vague as to what we are tested on, got mad at TA for making study guid

This class ruined Feminist Studies for me. Bobo takes attendance every day--in a 300+ person class. The Monday sections are mandatory, and you watch movies for 2 hours which may seem fun, but is really just a time suck. Do not take this class unless you'll flunk out of college for lack of units.

Three years out of UCSB and this was my worst professor. Has an uninviting demeanor, and when I went to her office hours to ask WHY I received the grade I did, and HOW to improve on my future work, she became offensive and suggested I talk to the dean. Not a teacher worth learning from, except a life lesson on not what to be.

Bobo herself is a nice teacher, tries to get ideas out clearly, though she rambles on quite a bit. However i DESPISED my ta Barbara Taylor. She was very opinionated and changed grades based on personal preference. Overall I am unhappy with the class both for the useless content as well as the larger-than-life ego of the teaching assistant

This class is definitely not as bad at people make it out to be. Although there is quite a bit of reading for th class nd a resreach paper, the midterm and final are incredibly easy if you pay attention in lecture and do the reading. Attendance is mandatory for lecture, section, and film screening but material is interesting and conceptually simple

Way more work that its worth. Class was Tuesday and Thursday 2-3:15, Tuesday from 5-7 for a movie, and a section on Monday at 10a. Lectures were fairly rambling and non-specific but the midterm and final were really hard. Plus there's a research paper.

shes a really nice lady.the class i took was really interesting & i enjoyed going.the only bad thing was that she kinda rambles off topic a bit.and she will NEVER answer your emails.but shes really nice!haha.the midterm WAS hard though.papers are good because she lets you write on whatever you want.all in all id take her again :-)

One of the least useful classes I've ever taken. Her lectures were always disorganized. She got preachy and then often times went off topic. The class always seemed like more work than it was worth.

She will give you a 'B' as long as you don't ditch the class (not even once), do hw, and finish your paper, but the midterm is ridiculous, she would ask some questions that you would never hear about in the class. More than half of class got less than 60%, but she did not curve it.

The mid-term and final were both 50 questions multi choice. pretty hard, I heard the average on the mid-term was a C- and 5 or 6 books we had to read for the class.

Bobo rambled on about things that were totally irrelevant to the subject. She was always very grumpy. However, the class wasn't that hard if you remembered the few terms she actually used (she repeated them MULTIPLE times)

the novel and films were somewhat interesting, but the prof never bothered to go over the concepts and relate them to the novels/films...she goes off topic talking about tattoos and snakes...not very helpful...overall, the class sucked

the professor's lectures are often incoherentand unorganized; she goes off topic regularly and doesn't bother to try to connect the concepts she goes over. the films & books she uses to teach the class are poor mediums. she uses films that are barely related to the subject and books that are poorly written with ridiculous storylines & characters

The books and films you watch in class for the most part are very interesting, the lecture on the other hand makes me want to hurt myself it's so painful. Slow, boring, I play solitare the entire time. Section is not helpful either- a waste of my 9am monday mornings

a lot of reading and writing. and she doesn't really help students.

I really liked this professor. She's smart and approachable, so I got a lot from the class. She does tend to go off topic a lot, but the tests are easy as long as you do your reading and write down the things that she literally says twice in class.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. Both the professor and my T.A. - Masen Uliss subjectively skewed my grade in order to NP me at the end of the quarter. I believe my T.A. disliked me, and purposely failed me. TRUE STORY - I visited her and challenged my grade, eventually saying I would bring the administration into our dispute. I ended up getting a PASS...

This class was horrible. I'm so serious, she was boring half the time then when she put notes up on slides which didn't happen all that often she went way too fast for you to get any notes.The sections were no better. in both the lectures and the discussions we got off topic way too much. This class was not what I expected and I didnt learn much.

fun... different teaching style

I really think she gets a bad rap. Her lectures are somewhat relevant but she tends to digress. The good thing about her is she's pretty lazy and slacks off on teaching/grading so its not hard to do well. Go to office hours, make sure she knows your name, don't annoy her in lecture, do decent work and you'll pull an A, no problem
