Winter 2019 - Professor Ribet is a very engaging lecturer with a soothing voice! The class is 3 hours long once a week. She is very passionate and knowledgeable about mental disability law. The class grade consists of 2 take-home exams (one midterm, one final), participation in class, a book review, and a policy paper. The exam questions are very fair and broad. The weekly readings are always posted on CCLE (so no need to buy a textbook), and they're normally either a court case or an article. The material is very applicable to disability studies, law, etc. and covers a wide range of intersectional topics (reproductive autonomy, gender, class, race, etc.). I highly recommend this course and this professor!

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!
