She's very enthusiastic and perky in her lectures. You can tell she's very passionate about the topic. The tests are pretty easy you really just regurgitate or elaborate what she says in class which you probably will do in discussion (depending on your TA). However it's a crap-load of reading from the reader. I suggest not buying the book.
Fujino is also so perky and enthusiastic when it comes to lecturing from her powerpoints. She's really down to earth and easy going. No textbooks are required but the reader is a MUST. To do well, you would need the Reader. I found majority of the topics interesting and the TAs/sections are very helpful. I highly recommend this class!
Nice, fun-loving teacher who enjoys her job.You have one 8-pg. paper, easy to do but a lot of work, def. interview parents.NEED reader (u have to read the WHOLE thing, theres one small book). Go to section. Grading is a joke, dnt believe its extremely fair, felt like i worked hard but didnt get the grade i deserved. Talk to TA and teacher it helps!
Don't buy the textbook, just the reader, you'll need it. Interesting lectures, major feminist, but very clear on topics. TA's grade, M. Kwon is great. One 8 page essay really not hard, but DON'T procrastinate. TONS of reading but just be selective, choose only the readings that cover the broader topic. Recommended. :)
Very passionate, interesting and fun. She is a great professor who can keep you captivated throughout lecture, I highly recommend it. However, she assigns enough reading to surpass all the other classes you're taking... combined. MAJOR feminist, but what else do you expect from a class by this name. Emphasis on reader rather than textbook.
This woman seriously does not need to be a teacher. Even at the best of times, her research is suspect at best, and she has no issue using methods of indoctrination that she preaches against in class. A lot of her class was spent explaining why white males were the source of all the problems in the world. Crazy reading, midterms, and lectures. If your opionion differs from hers, you are not going to do well in the class. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

fujino is a cute little woman who enjoys what she teaches and is extremely passionate topics. concepts are very interesting but become a little dull because she gets repetitive. must have time to read because you have about 400pgs to read. i have to admit that i fell asleep on her a couple of times.
Taking this class means regurgitating feminist theory and race theory, over and over and over again. The veracity of the reading is suspect. Best part of the course was actually talking about *shock* ASAM gender relations, as opposed to how males and whites suck. Fujino is personally nice, but this class was a severe dissapointment.
Overall, the class is very interesting. Dr. Fujino is very knowledgeable in her area. Although at time she tends to read too much into her own material and over-analyze certain situations, I'd highly recommend this class to anyone. Besides, it fills so many GE's...
Diane Fujino is an AMAZING person all around. In regards to her teaching, she is so passionate...you learn to LOVE the subject. She is so sweet and cute, you'll never want to miss class. I took her AS AM 171GG class over summer and it was my fave! Not hard and very interesting. I plan to take more classes with her through out my college years.

I recommend this to soph., lotz of reading, but very intersting topics. and if u do it and attend lecture, grade is not tough. When doing paper, she's very helpful. sessions can be boring, but must attend it if ur TA is anal. It is a great intr course to ASAm study, and she's great to talk to. Take this course kuz it fulfills SO many GEs!!! haha
This class is such bull****!!!!Apparently there is a huge conspiracy in the US government to opress all other countries in order for them to immigrate and provide cheap labor...yeah. And there are some really interesting topics on hardcore feminism as well....fun stuff.
lots of reading, but if you do it and go to lecture the tests are easy.
this was an interesting class. alot of reading to do. but you only have to write one paper (7-8) pages. its pretty easy to pass the class.
Very interesting class, though it seemed more focused on gender relations rather than the asian aspect of gender relations. and many of the stories she read into did seem a little far fetched, i didn't buy most of them either. over all an interesting class, get a good TA and be prepared to read a lot
wayyy too much reading assigned every week. midterm questions were so broad that it was hard to address even though i did study for it. lectures were pretty interesting but unorganized at times. get charlene as a TA if you plan to enroll in this class. she is the nicest and easiest.
this teacher reads way too much into her material. some baseball bat representing a **** and balls? some guy hitting on her because she was a woman? i don't buy it and sometimes, it gets ridiculous listening to the other people kiss her ass.
This class is pretty interesting, more than I thought it would be. Midterms/Finals are written response, but if you do the reading and pay attention it's not that hard. TA really helped out because she gave us "cliff notes" for the readings. Professor engages in class discussion so you probably won't fall asleep.
Organized lectures, though she really hasn't said anything but common knowlege. Slides not posted but going to class almost worthless. I had an AWESOME TA who really engaged me. Fujino succeeds in getting participation from large lecture. Small but has authority.
