Reviews of professor Jo Forrest-Stuart

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Literally my favorite professor ever, so nice and such an easy grader. If you show up and do the work youll get an A. Loved the class, loved the professor. Definitely recommend taking

Has experience in the Queer community, but gave these grueling lectures. Three hours once a week, filled with videos that could have easily just been posted on Blackboard, read straight from a PowerPoint with no chance for discussion. I wish she had been more creative. Weekly journals are easy because students summarize articles.

Prof. Jo has been really nice! Like the other reviews, yes, theres plenty of readings, but you can get away with not reading most of them. Midterm review is identical to actual exam. Weekly journals do not take too long and are easy. Lectures are interesting and the class isnt as bad as other reviews make it out to be. Put time into this class.

I loved this class. Midterm was open-book and identical to the review Kahoot! Weekly readings and journals are a lot, but really helped me stay on task. Final is an easy paper/presentation. She is really funny and personable, and I love that her class really highlighted QPOC since we are normally never included, especially in history.

SO MUCH EXTRA CREDIT! This might be a lecture heavy class but this stuff is actually entertaining! she shows alot of funny/relevant youtube and buzzed videos in class and also has guest speakers come in. she gives a lot of time for the midterm and final. she brought popcorn to the class for the final so that was nice. Its an easy A if you try.

This class is god awful. She expects us to read around 30+ pages of articles and/or textbook each week between classes. After each class, a 1 pg summary is due, no credit if you're absent. A total of over 30 pages of written assignments for a 101 class is absurd. Very passive aggressive and this class is dreadful. DON'T TAKE IT.

Jo is not a good professor for a 101 level class. She would be great for a grad school class with the amount of work she assigns and the harshness of her grading. Her lectures are boring & there is not any time for discussion even when she says she "will leave time at the end" for discussion. She is also passive aggressive when talking to students.

She's a nice person, don't get me wrong, but she isn't the best professor for LGBT 101. She assigned a midterm with 10 short answer questions (2 paragraphs each) and then 3, 2-3 page essay questions as well, and then for the final she wants a 10-15 page research paper. She doesn't give enough time to work on this and is a terribly picky grader.
