Sometimes teaches opinion over fact, including some dubiously truthful or hypocritical takes. Males have no strength advantage, it's ok to do drugs while pregnant, obesity is not a health concern, etc. Hard grading and need to go to OH to see wrong answers

tests on the most specific things that were maybe mentioned once. good material but is not as organized as it should be and is too harsh for a 100 level class. take this course with a different professor if you can!!!

Can someone who has taken this class and gotten an A please post how in the world they did that? So far this year, significant modifiers have been added to both Exam 1 in-class and short-answer to INCREASE the average to a C. At some point, this professor has to realize that the problem cannot be the entire class, right? Harder than STEM.

Do not take GWS 103 with Cabell! Same as the previous review, the writing section of the exams clearly have impossible expectations. I genuinely do not know how it would have been possible to do better on them. She grades based off of her opinions and random minute details she mentions in lecture.

Quality 2/5Difficulty 4/5
Received a really high score on the multiple choice section of our first midterm, and then on the writing sections received a grade lower than I ever have in my life. Has expectations that are clearly impossible to reach, no clear rubrics, grades based on her personal opinions on the subjects and i would never take a class with this person again.

You will spend hours studying terms mentioned once or twice. Exams draw heavy from lecture, but none of the information is on the slides, you literally have to catch every word spoken. I recommend recording and transcribing lectures if you take this class. Attendance isn't mandatory and slides are posted but they're unhelpful.
