This was one of my favorite classes I took my first year! Professor Fields is incredible, she is able to engage you in every lecture and knows how to keep it interesting. The grades include a group presentation, blogs, reading journals, discussion, and 3 papers. All very manageable. The papers are harder grading than any of the other work but Professor Fields will talk to you about it if you wish and helps you with peer review and such the class or a couple classes before!

INCREDIBLE CLASS. Cori was very reasonable and organized--assignments and readings were well selected and very thought-provoking. Made me rethink a lot of things.

A pretty good class, in general. Only 3 papers over the course of the semester, no final, professor field is very nice and honestly wants her students to learn and be interested in gender related issues. I recommend this class to anyone who might be even remotely interested in women and gender studies.

Most interesting class I took this semester. Very reading/discussion based. Only 3 papers the whole semester to which Cori and TA Willa give really constructive feedback.

This class is awesome! I absolutely love it! It's what inspired me to double major in WGS/SWAG. Corinne is a great teacher, really understanding about attendance issues and participation is heavily encouraged and worth a grade, but it's not too hard to participate (even if you don't like speaking). There's a decent amount of reading, but none are too long or difficult (and if they are, you review in class anyways). It's just a huge discussion class basically and you chat every class about different interesting topics. There are three papers (one is only two pages), two blog posts for the semester, and a reading journal. Not a lot of work and no midterm/final. I love it! Totally recommend it!
