Professor Norbeg's Sex Work class was informative, engaging, and extremely interesting. She is a wonderful, caring professor who really enjoys teaching and her students. This class really opened up my mind about sex work and sex workers and I really looked forward to coming to her class. She is the type of professor who is more interested in making sure students are learning in a stress free environment than tricking you with convoluted test questions. There was a midterm and final as well as two reading critiques. She posts all of her lectures online and gives you the possible essay questions on each test ahead of time. I hope to take her again - she is outstanding.

Fall 2018 - I really enjoyed taking this class. Professor Ribet is very kind and talks slowly so everyone can understand her. She loves asking for student's opinions and we often go on a tangent because of it. The course consists of a midterm, final, book review and discussion groups. The midterm and final are a collection of essays. She gives you four prompts and you pick three to write about. She has a 48 hour no penalty for late work policy. In this class we read court cases and pieces of legislature. The professor lecture goes at a slow pace. She does a really good job at teaching you how to brief court cases. There are no textbooks required for this class as all the reading are posted online. She also offers opportunities for extra credit. I definitely recommend taking her class!
