Great teacher! I've taken three of her classes and each one is great. She really cares about her students and made the topics interesting and understandable.

One of the best professors I've had at UB. Nixon makes sure that students are not stressed out and everyone is comfortable in her class. I have learned so much and I recommend her to everyone considering taking one of her courses! Such an amazing, inspirational person.

Jay is really just a great professor all around. I have taken two of her classes and her class is never stressful but also teaches a lot of information. She is extremely considerate caring and kind. She is very knowledgeable in her subject and every student could learn a lot from her.

I took gender studies 101 and the work load was completely inappropriate. We were reading 60 pages a week, and while it was a condensed class taken in 6 weeks, that is way too much work for someone who has other things going on. I was not prepared to have to work so hard for a 101 class.

One of the best professors at UB! There is a decent amount of reading, but they are interesting and are talked about in class. The writing assignments are short and mostly opinion based. She really encourages the students to look at the world in a different view and I highly recommend taking this class as a pathway so easy grade and you can learn!

I went into this class excited as I heard good things about her on this site. I have decided to take it into my own hands to write how I feel about her. She claims she answers her emails super quickly, but I have, on multiple occasions, had her ignore my emails with important course related information. I would not take this professor again.

Had to read a good amount but nothing crazy. She really likes to do discussion posts but there are no quizzes or midterm, just final paper and group work. Super understanding! And the lectures are interesting.

Would not recommend taking her, lots of reading for an easy class and unnecessarily complicates things to make an easy class a hard one.
