I first enrolled in this class because someone recommended it to me as an "easy writing II class". In response to that, I'll say that I don't think the class is particularly hard, as long as you participate, which Professor Terrance (who told us to call us Laura) was big on. If you participated, turned in decent work, and communicated with her when you were having issues, she was lenient and accommodating about deadlines-- she made it clear that she wanted to grade based on the quality of our papers, and disliked docking points for lateness. I did notice that she was harsher on those who didn't talk in class (mic muted, camera off) in terms of leniency and grading. It isn't too difficult to participate, though-- the classes are small and discussion-based. Laura was personable and seemed to really care about her students' wellbeing and academic performance.
During summer sesh, we had one 2-page response paper due each week (excluding the weeks that the rough draft and final paper were due), 1 discussion question per week, 1 partner presentation, a final paper proposal, a 4-5 page rough draft due in week 4 I think, and an 8-9 page final. We were able to choose to do a creative project (poetry, song, she mentioned that someone did an Instagram account which was interesting, etc) in lieu of the final paper, as long as we ran it by her. I saw a previous review that criticized the lack of guidelines for assignments, and it is true that she essentially just gave us the page limit and told us to write about whatever we wanted. So, I would say that if you're someone who needs a lot of structure to do well (or you are more type A), I would reconsider taking this class. She is not a very detail-oriented person-- evident through inconsistencies in the syllabus lol-- and she admits so. That being said, it was surprisingly easier than I thought to write the essays, especially as a STEM major. I was initially scared by the idea of writing without a prompt, but there are a lot of interesting themes and connections discussed in this class that make for good essay material. I actually appreciated the freedom we were given because it meant that I didn't have to stress about misinterpreting any prompts.
In terms of grading, it is very possible to do well in this class if you tie the week's readings with previous weeks' readings in your papers, and make it clear that you have thought about/engaged with them. It also helps if you at least seem like you're making an effort in the class-- it's mentioned in the syllabus that Laura takes effort and improvement into account when deciding final grades. It's also worth noting that it's pretty hard to hide in this class, given that there's only 18-ish people. She seems pretty attuned to who is and isn't trying.
Overall, I thought that this was a worthwhile course to take. I was exposed to perspectives that I haven't been exposed to before, and became more educated on Indigenous, and Indigenous feminist, studies. Additionally, I think the class provided a nuanced view on Native feminist issues that delve beyond the surface level-- for example, what we learned about the seal hunt ban, ongoing genocide, and the way that Indigenous women are targeted, was all valuable. Some of the ideas were a bit more abstract and harder to understand, but it was a good learning experience imo. I can't say whether this is easier or harder than other writing II classes because this was the first one I've taken, but I don't think it was too hard and the professor was reasonable.
Also if it wasn't clear before, I thought it would be good to mention that this class focuses on Native feminism specifically, not just gender in general. I didn't know that going into the class, probably because I forgot to read the description. Oops.

This professor was super unclear and disorganized; I never knew what to expect and the syllabus often conflicted with what she said in class. The final paper had very few guidelines and the professor was very hard on ideas despite it being an open-choice prompt. She definitely knew what she wanted you to write but wouldn't tell you, only saying that "this paper is not on a class theme."

Again, the final paper had no real guidelines. She graded the rough draft as if it was the finished piece. For one, the draft had to be half the length of the final paper so, of course, some content will be missing. She created arbitrary guidelines on source requirements by limiting the number of outside sources. These citation requirements existed nowhere on the rubric or the syllabus. Also, why limit research in an academic writing class?

It seems like she graded on an arbitrary scale based on what she thought you deserved instead of the provided rubric. Don't take this professor if you value organization and clear guidelines. You won't get that.

It is a writing class. So, you would expect a ton of writing which there is. However, it is nothing too crazy. Totally doable. She is a great lecturer. I would take another class of hers, if I could.
