Reviews of professor April Fernandes

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She is one of the more interesting lecturers I have had, I enjoy classes where it feels more like a discussion than someone talking at me. She seems like she likes her job and the topic, so it's good. One thing that sucks is that she makes us read lots of opinion sites (of course not moderate), instead of scholastic journals or news articles.

Dr. Fernandes is very down-to-earth and understanding. During the recent mental health issues on campus, she was quick to send out resources and cancel classes. She's very sarcastic and funny in class, and is highly knowledgeable in the field of sociology. She loves to share stories/opinions, so discussions often overtake scheduled course material.

As another poster said, the class was highly interesting. Dr. Fernandes has a breadth of knowledge on everything to do with the entire field of sociology. She is a tough grader, and doesn't provide detailed feedback. You have to make sure you follow the directions or else you will not get a good grade. The final is take home, so that makes it easy

An awesome professor who loves her job! The class itself is interesting and can be an easy A or B. It was mostly asynchronous, with a live zoom every 3 weeks. There are readings and a discussion question 2x a week, but as long as you understand the main ideas you'll be okay. The TA graded our midterms, and gave low grades and terrible feedback.
