Reviews of professor Julia Bates

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
The first section of the class is interesting. We go over Marx, Durkheim, and Weber and the merits and faults they are attributed. However after that the only topic we covered was police brutality and mass incarceration. Important topics, though I feel we left out other problems that deserve attention for an intro social justice class.

Overall, pretty good professor! Each class is def lecture based. You have outlines due like every other day and sometimes readings can go up to 30/40 pages. Takes time to digest all the material, but when she presents the power-points in class, it makes everything a lot easier to understand.

Bates is very knowledgeable about all sorts of global social movements. She assigns by far the most reading I've had to do for any class here at GU. Her classes are also almost entirely lecture and class discussion. The essay prompts and projects were oddly specific. All of this being said, I feel like I learned about more than I thought I would.
