This is good class to take as it discusses clear aspects of society. Natalie discusses topics clearly and unbiased so that people can understand issues.Rate My Professors ↗
Quality 3/5Difficulty 3/5
Watch lectures and take lots of notes and you should be fine for quizzes and discussion sections and posts. Tough grading on journal entries where you have to summarize two hours of lectures and readings into 250 words or less.. which is quite difficult. Can be easy enough if you put in the time, but it can be a lot of time for a humanities classRate My Professors ↗

Terrible professor. Does not care about her students. You will not get the grade you want in this class. Not easy or accommodating.Rate My Professors ↗
Quality 1/5Difficulty 5/5
Overall, this class was terrible. The graders are very hard and unreasonable. Every week you write 200 words to explain a whole week of lecture and then the grader marks you off so much if you miss anything, when its impossible to add it all. Natalie is not accommodating and does not care what grade you get. Very liberal class.Rate My Professors ↗

Took this for an easy A. Achieved it, but worked for it w/time. Quiz ?'s come right from lecture videos. I took notes on all lectures and it helped A LOT! Weekly summaries get annoying - rewrite notes from lec & you're good! 3 papers/performances. Be willing to do busy work. Nice lec was online & 4 online discussions/semester via webcam.Rate My Professors ↗
