Fall 2024 - Overall the lectures were engaging, my favorite part was when they would show interviews, movie clips, and parts of documentaries that were tied into the course material. The class would be engaged with the lectures and sometimes there was in class group collaboration but it was pretty lowkey. The discussion sections were pretty disorganized and didn’t feel they were worth much personally. The midterm assignment was cool and the final project wasn’t too difficult. A little more guidance on the assignment might have been helpful for the midterm. They were a bit nitpicks with the formatting and style of the papers, which is very normal for writing classes but just be mindful of that. The weekly assignments could take a surprisingly long time but it’s overall not a heavy workload. I would recommend this class with this professor if you are interested in learning about lgbtq issues or want to get the literally and cultural analysis Ge out of the way with a chill class.

Fall 2017 - Took this class in the fall of my Sophomore year. This class really is a great introduction to LBGTQ studies. Even if you are curious to learn more and ask questions it is a safe space to engage in lectures. It's basically a class on the history of the LGBTQ community. The readings are all online and given. There are no tests just different parts of essays. You also receive extra credit for attending events and writing a page on the event.
