the class has pre recorded videos that were available to us since the beginning of class. however, this class is fully based on the TA and how they grade. My Ta was Nic and I would say they were a tough grader but overall very supportive and helpful when needed help. this class consisted of weekly papers that you had to complete with your group. the group was of 4-5 people and you had to write a maximum two page paper(really hard because thats a little amount with a lot of people) plus side is that there was extra credit

This class was really easy and interesting, I would definitely recommend it if you're looking for an easy GE. There are no exams and you only have to turn in weekly reflection papers which are graded by your TA. So your grade depends on your TA's grading style. The reflection paper was about the lectures, readings, and documentaries. I found most of the documentaries interesting but some of the readings were difficult to understand. The lectures are prerecorded so you can watch them whenever you want, or you don't have to watch them at all. Discussion is mandatory because 10% of your grade is based on participation but it wasn't so bad, as long as you attend the discussions I think you'll be fine.

TAKE THIS CLASS! If you are at all interested in gender and how it intersects with other aspects of identity and culture, this class is a great choice. I really enjoyed the structure of this class and wished other classes would be more like it. There were no tests, meaning there was no midterm and no final. We basically just submitted a reflection of the content (one and a half to two pages, double spaced) every week. The lectures were pre-recorded and, while they were really interesting and helpful, they weren't required for the reflections. What you did need to discuss in the reflections were the articles and the documentaries. The assigned articles weren't tedious at all and, in my opinion, were super eye-opening. It would generally only take me a few hours to get through the content for the week and write my reflection. Also, the three lowest-graded reflections (out of nine) were dropped so it gave students choice as to whether or not they wished to write a reflection that week or not. My advice would be to do all of the reflections though because there were instances where my TA docked points off of one reflection but I wouldn't know until a week or two later. As for discussions, I think they vary from section to section but the way my TA structured it was by splitting the discussion section into break-out rooms. Before she assigned us to break-out rooms, my TA would pose one or two questions about that week's content and we would come up with the answer while in the break-out room. However, there were some weeks where the entire section would discuss together; it all really depended on what the students were comfortable with that day. The TA's and the professor are incredibly helpful and are there for you if you have any questions. Overall, I think this was a great class and I would definitely recommend it!

A fairly easy GE.

You don't really have to go to lectures since very little is covered, but sometimes there are pop quizzes. I would often go to lecture but just browse the internet the whole time.

You do have to do the readings for the quizzes, but they are short, like ~30 minutes per week.

The midterm was writing a reflection on gender in our own life. The final was a few short essay questions that were pretty simple.

No homework.

I would recommend, it was pretty chill and if you are interested in feminism then you won't mind this class.

The only thing that is awkward it is a required category to write about race in your paper, and if you are white, you might not have very much to write about.

I feel like it was an open space to discuss anything. Korkman was very helpful with her lectures and the discussions were pretty simple. There are reflections you have to write, but they offer help to make sure you receive the best possible grade. Her and TA Ebony are queens!! They just want their students to engage in the course and get an A :) I just took this for a GE and it was light work

LOVED both the class and professor and 100% recommend taking it as a GE. I took this class as a GE and really enjoyed the material and learned a lot. There are weekly readings and reading quizzes but the readings are very interesting and do not take much time. I found the lectures to be very engaging.

her voice puts me to sleep. havent received a grade yet. Her voice, the way she talks, her accent, her tone, paired with the fact that its online just doesnt go together. takes me 30 hours to watch a 30 minute lecture cuz i keep snoozing. easy but very un-engaging and hard to decipher her accent especailly through the screen.

I really loved this class, but unfortunately the professor is impossible to understand... I'm sorry, but she did not articulate in the pre-recorded classes and always talked low, and sometimes noises in the background would make the lectures impossible to decipher (for me, at least). What saved me was having to read all the readings and attending every discussion, and my TA was awesome and explained everything so I managed to get an A in the course.
