Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
No clear grading guidelines. Class was disorganized and heavily emphasized movies/films.

Professor Hutchinson was amazing. She truly cares about the material, the students and the student experience. There is a fair amount of reading, however, she give lots of articles to choose from so the reading is very enjoyable! The film quizzes are hard only because there are so many great films to see! It can be hard to settle on just one.

I loved taking prof. Hutchison's class. Classes were super engaging, and although there was a lot of reading it was super interesting and not very difficult. While there were a few quizzes, essays, and film assignments; the bulk of the work consisted of readings and in class discussions. I'd definitely take another class taught by her :)

Beth is perfectly nice. She's invested in students having a thorough understanding of course material. Unfortunately, if you've taken other history courses or sexuality courses, this class is very boring. Weekly forums with 3 posts are easy. 3 major assignments feel like busy work designed to make sure you actually looked at the material.

Class is very interesting but BH is long-winded in explaining things. Many options for req reading. In disc&replies u must cite the pg and book you are talking about; it can get tedious. IMO class wouldnt have felt so overwhelming if it were more concise& not a wall of text. When she says quiz it is code for essay q's & short reading to her=30 pgs

Professor Hutchison is incredibly thoughtful and flexible. She is super understanding of the fact that students have a life outside of class, and will adjust work and the curriculum for extenuating circumstances. The discussions I had in this class were some of the most engaging and dynamic ones I've ever experienced online.
