Reviews of professor Sonnet Gabbard

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Even though her D2L bio states that she grades discussion boards within 4 days of you submitting them, she doesn't grade a single assignment until the end of the course. I spent the entire quarter scared that I wasn't giving enough detail in my posts, but there's literally no way to tell until she decides to do her job. Do not take her.

I truly enjoyed Professor Gabbard. I took her WGS 100 class and loved it. However, after reading the reviews students have given her I understand their POV. You have to have a passion for her classes, you have to want to learn and dive deep into the subject. If you don't care about learning about WGS then her classes might not be right for you.

EXTREMELY slow grader despite saying there will be a 5 day turnaround. Complains about the basic functions of her job. Not accessible outside of class. So much reading/materials outside of class that are rarely discussed in full except when she decides to give a 10 question long pop quiz that takes half of the class to complete. Would NOT recommend

Dr. Gabbard is such a phenomenal Professor and I cant wait to take many more courses taught by her. She made very clear what was expected and was accommodating when things got in the way of our success such as COVID-19. She made a point to reach out to students, give amazing academic advice, and help students in anyway possible outside of class.

isn't that great at grading. you have to be on her good side. even though there is no text book, there is a lot of reading. take notes because she rarely uses powerpoint. i would not take her again.

She never went over any class material ever. Most of our class was talking about the bachelor, literally a waste of time. You basically have to do the reading and take the quizzes and figure it out yourself. The quizzes have 10 question all short answer, she wants like a paragraph and the question that takes the longest always ends up being for 2pt

Dr. Gabbard is extremely passionate about the subject matter she teaches and I learned so much in this class. It took a really long time for her to grade anything, but she grades fairly. There's no textbook for this class but she posts long readings due every class (sometimes she doesn't post them until the day before so beware and check D2L).

(Took in person, pre-pandemic) I loved this class. Talked to her outside of class and emailed frequently. If you take notes, care about the subject matter, and like creative papers/projects, this class is absolutely for you. She takes feedback into consideration and treats students like respectable grown people. Lots of reading but online 4 free
