Her material is thought provoking, and lectures are very engaging with a mix of powerpoint, videos, and discussion questions. If she doesn't get you to think about the world around you...not sure who will!",

    "comment": "Not a very good lecturer.  She's entertaining but the material she talks about in class lacks content.  Really encourages class participation which is good because you hear some really stupid comments from students.  She has someone else grade the tests so you need to talk to her if you're unhappy with the grade.  Good job at being unbiased.",

The reading is all scanned online but was usually not necessary anyways. She is still a grad-student, but very good.  Overall good class",

The class is a TON of work for a three credit class though... 60-100 pages of reading per week, a typed reading reponse paper due each Friday, a quiz each Monday, and two other large papers due. A lot of work, but still easy. Shes great though!",
