Professor Chang is a realist and addresses women issues (and other disadvantaged groups) from that perspective. Students are encouraged with her teaching style to come up with practical ideas to advocate for social justice work. I really loved the class, and I learnt so much that I was convinced to take on Fem studies as a minor.

The subject material in this class was very interesting, but the class itself was a bit disorganized bc info is given to students through email and nectir, not gauchospace. The class is worth taking for the information we discussed but it definitely wasn't my favorite class. I think it might have been more engaging in person, but I'm not sure.

Worst prof I've ever had at UCSB. Unorganized class structure, uses lecture time on tangents unrelated to course material, sends req. readings thru email (difficult to find/over 95+ emails sent this qrt.) & does not use a recurring Zoom link. Inconsiderate of the fact tht students are paying hundreds of thousands of $ for insufficient education.

By far the best professor I have had at UCSB so far. Her lectures are easy to follow she cares for her students and TA's. She's the kind of professor who shows up for her students. If you get a chance to take of her classes I would highly recommend it.

She is passionate and an amazing professor.

She is so caring great professor tells it how it is. She is interesting and is a great professor.

3 papers (1 final), 5 pop quizzes, super reading heavy, facilitation in section. Essay grade depends on TAs who were cool. Amazing lectures, inspiring, really eyeopening class. The readings were long but beneficial and eyeopening. Love prof chang. One of the few profs at UCSB who cares about her students.

Prof. Chang is incredibly nice and clearly passionate about what she does. Not a lot of reading, 3 essays (including final paper), pop quizzes every 2 weeks or so. Class is really interesting and she shows a lot of compelling content. Provides a healthy environment for discussion and a safe space especially for women of color.

She's real. Take her class and learn. I loved her class.

She's a very far left professor that constantly bashes on capitalism and men as worldly evils. Unpleasant experience, and her hatred of people questioning her polarized opinions (which the class is based on) is a testament to her hatred of dissent. Seriously, it's cult-like in that lecture hall. Don't take if you don't want to get yelled at.

Dr. Chang was great. Class covered many important issues including immigration policy, welfare policy, and Structural Adjustment Programs. Attendance isn't mandatory, but there were 5 pop quizzes in lectures that add up to 20% of your grade... so you should go. Lectures are unorganized but your grade is based on papers anyway (from other sources).

Grace is a very sweet and politically active teacher. She really wants her students to be engaged and pay attention during her lectures. Her lectures tend to be quiet unorganized and she doesn't like to use gauchospace. You can opt for a final project at the end instead of the final paper and get a good grade.

She gives 5 pop quizzes so be sure to do your reading before class. 2 papers, a section facilitation group project, and a final paper or presentation. So passionate about her subject! Loved her class, but definitely a fair amount of reading. Make sure to unpack your essays & elaborate a lot.

Section attendence graded. 3 essays (including take home final). pop quizzes throughout lectures. lectures are just her talking. would not take again unless you're REALLY interested in this as in majoring in it. grading is based on subjective ta's grading. a decent amount of readings and a $60 reader

Prof. Chang really provides alternative material and perspectives that challenge hegemonic ways of thinking. Her material was very engaging! I personally thought she was hilarious and has me quoting her pretty often. She is one of the few professors on campus to provide a safe space for WOC/POC to speak their minds. Most definitely recommend her!

Professor Chang provides her students with guidance and support that makes us comfortable to share ideas. She supported my classmates and I through our work and hard times. As a woman of color this is so hard to come by at SB. I would never be at one of the best graduates schools in the world if it wasn't for her support, lectures, and passion.

Professor Grace Change is a phenomenally excellent teacher and human being. Professor Chang cares about her students' academic development and wellness to challenge ideas, realities and academic materials while survival the ACADEMIA INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX at UCSB. Professor Chang's communication comes direct, care, thoughtful, and supportive. Da best!

I have taken two courses with Professor Grace Chang and am forever grateful for all that I learned from her. I am deeply appreciative of the incredible impact she has had on me. She truly cultivated a space where I felt I could be heard as a woman of color and challenged us all to really think critically about issues learned in the courses.

Professor Chang is a point of strength for me at UCSB. As a 4th year I've gone to her while taking her class and come back when I wasn't enrolled in her class. She honestly helped me stay in school. She's a great professor on/off class. She is REAL. Take her classes and learn to think critically- something many classes at UCSB unfortunately lack.

Grace Chang is a boss. She is someone who speaks her mind and has POC's backs, unlike most professors at UCSB, She is someone who cares about the well being of her students while inspiring, educating, and challenging them as well. Her classes provided safe space for POC as well informative and educational spaces. I ASPIRE TO BE HER

Proffessor Grace Change goes out of her way to provide constructive feedback and encouraged me to be critical of the knowledge I consume. She changed my outlook in academia (for the better!)

Professor Chang created an ideal learning environment that fostered critical discussion and room for all to participate. Her teaching style is unique and allows for the exploration and engagement of difficult and sensitive topics. She is truly one of the best faculty at UCSB and has been one of the greatest professors I have had in graduate school.

She's the type of professor who will change your life for the best. She's a caring, inspiring, and amazing person, always willing to go the extra mile for her students. She creates safe spaces for so many of us, helping us be critical thinkers - regardless of our background & experiences. Thank you for inspiring us to be social justice advocates!!!

Prof. Chang is an amazing teacher and mentor. Her teaching goes beyond what we are taught to expect from professors. By example, she encourages critical thinking, as well as truly engaging with course material, and challenging dominant ideologies. Her class made me want to care about the material, and not about a grade (how it should be!).
