Fall 2023 - I actually really enjoyed this class even though I'm not an English major. Summer always had relevant lectures to the readings that felt very appropriate in context. I also loved her snarky comments as jokes that would reveal her millennial personality. She's very in touch with reality which I appreciate. There were 3 written assignments: a midterm paper, an annotated playlist, and a final paper. I was scared about the grading but I got As on everything, which I was def happy about since I saw the other LGBTQ-English course seemed to have a bad grade distribution. My only complaint was that the first week's readings were so dense and academic which gave me imposter syndrome that this was a queer theory philosophy class... but that was not the case the readings the following weeks were much more digestible especially when we read "Stone Butch Blues". Overall, fair grader, great professor, I def enjoyed my time and the discussion in this class.
