The best professor!! So passionate and knowledgable about sexuality, and she is always open to feedback. Her lectures are optional but it doesn't matter because they are engaging and interesting. Thoroughly enjoyed her class, and found it difficult but satisfying.Rate My Professors ↗
This was the best class I have ever taken ever. Very eye-opening about sex, gender, and current events. Chadwick is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, every lecture was great. There is a good amount of reading, and exams can be tough, but I would absolutely take this class again.Rate My Professors ↗
Professor Chadwick is SUPER nice and very knowledgeable but mainly just reads right from slides. The class is very exam heavy, majority of your grade is 4 exams, that are super specific. You have to read 20 textbook chapter and any single sentence from the textbook is fair game for exams. She gives zero study help. Decent amount of extra credit.Rate My Professors ↗
She is great! She is super knowledgable about everything in regards to sexuality. I learned A LOT, much more than I ever learned in sexed which is the point of the class. You do have to read a book for an exam. It's grades primarily on exams and there is some extra credit. It's a difficult class for sure but also very rewarding in my opinion.Rate My Professors ↗
She is probably the best professor I have ever had, very funny, amazing lectures, and fire outfits. The class was like an advanced sex-ed course which covered menstruation, hormone cycles, birth controls, gender, different sexualities, and much more. I took this class for fun and Dr Chadwick's personality made it very enjoyable!Rate My Professors ↗
She basically just read from the PowerPoint.Rate My Professors ↗
