Reviews of professor Sandra McEvoy

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Absolutely wonderful and kind professor. She's a feminist scholar of International Relations and a grassroots-oriented academic so be ready for her analyses of conflicts to blow your mind. The lectures can be a bit long but she's incredibly engaging and provides breaks. Class culminates in a conflict resolution simulation and has a few easy papers.

She named a unit of the class "Arab Feminisms" despite the entire unit being about Iran. As an Iranian I approached her and asked for her to change the unit to "middle eastern feminism" or something along those lines and she told me that the term was "colonized". At this point just call it Feminism and Islam because we all know what she meant...

WS347: Feminist Inquiry. I tried hard to like this class. I really tried. 
McEvoy is clinically boring, and it doesn't help that it's 3 hours long. The content is pretty good, but she drones on and on. Also terrible at blackboard. You also HAVE to know the readings. She expects participation and will call on you. 5 students already dropped out.

Professor McEvoy was a great professor that really made me think about my thoughts and opinions. All the readings are online, and they start off with readings about the overarching subject, and then you get into case studies, which were all super interesting. Participation and attendance does matter, since there is a sign-in.

The only positive of this class was that she made it online almost every week bc she didnt leave RI. She called authors she liked her "girlfriends" if any male prof did that they wold be fired. Also she quizzed us on the most bizarre things. Horrible at uploading grades + im pretty sure she was racist towards me + you cant pick your groups so ..

An incredible professor with a passion for helping students succeed and understand material. Seminar style with a conversational flow to lectures. Lots of reading with quizzes each week, but they dont count for very much and drops the lowest one. Very transparent with grading and what is on the exams.

Really great feminist professor. I disagreed with a few of her points, but she encourages students to form their own opinions. Fairly easy workload, and I think she was pretty lenient with grading (however, I took this class during COVID so she may have been more lenient than usual)

She doesn't seem organized, very meandering. Waste time talking about stuff related to her beliefs that are loosely connected to class. Wish I only just read the books and just tuned out in class. It did help my ability to perceive opinionated statements and factual statements in academia.
