What students said

Shuli Branson · 2025 · 2025

I learned a lot about the introductory concepts and ideas related to women and gender studies.

Laura Ciolkowski · 2017 · 2017

Excessive, especially for what you get out of it. - Around 70+ pages of reading per week - Midterm and final - 4 Short responses - 2 Event Reports

Alice Kessler-Harris · 2011 · 2011

Lots of readings, short postings are acceptable, 3 short papers, and one final paper.

Sherry Ortner · 2003 · 2003

I agree with the previous reviewer - stay away at ALL costs! Run, don't walk, from this self-important, uninteresting woman! Her entire workload consists of her own writings which rarely relate in any way to the class itself. STAY AWAY!

Marianne Hirsch · 2005 · 2005

heavy reading load and weekly reading analyses, 6-8 pg paper on feminist autobiography, media file (eight 1 paragraph entries and 3 pg paper), take home final that is not bad at all

Manijeh Moradian · 2019 · 2019

Normally quite a lot of reading every week, along with a discussion post. 2 3-4 page essays, a midterm, group media project, and a final in class.

Katharine Bedford · 2005 · 2005

fine, a bit harshly graded but somebody has to fight the grade inflation!

Alison Wylie · 2005 · 2005

Media file (not too bad), book report on autobiography of your choice, no midterm! take home final though, weekly reading journals as well

Amanda Swarr · 2004 · 2004

The class itself had oodles and oodles of reading - a gigantic coursepack, and then an additional gender/sexuality reader - however, this course is taught every fall and it depends upon the professor how much work will be given but definetely expect a ton of reading (the reading was so interesting and fun to read that you won't be complaining though); take-home final, three main essays (e.g. one being a study in which you go out in NYC and observe gender and how it works in that situation; another being reading a biography and analyzing it)

Kristen Roggemann · 2002 · 2002

The reading selection is great, Beauvoir, Friedan, Meyerhoff, Fjeld... the list goes on. Two 7 page papers (that I swear are graded solely on font style) and a take home final (thats not all you'll want to take home).
