Reviews of professor Christina Belcher

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Belcher is one of the coolest professor's I've had. SWMS210 is very theory-based and the content is very dense. However, lectures are very inspiring and make you a better critical thinker. Lots of reading, which I never did. Lectures are packed, so you can get away with skipping a few classes.

Good class!There are no exams - just 8 750 word responses  every 2 weeks (extremely easy though) Lectures are interesting, but you don't need to go to them to pass as she posts every single thing EVER on blackboard. Discussion you do have to participate in and go to, but participation includes taking notes so you don't REALLY have to participate.

Her lectures are very interesting and she also opens the floor to anyone who has a question. The grade was based off 2 short essays, a midterm, and a final. Just study intensely the study guide (which they give out), and you'll be fine. There is also a lot of leeway on what you can write about in your essays.

LOVED THIS CLASS!!! I so wish I could take it again because it was thrilling to learn about my feminist interests at a university level. The lectures dive deep and are very interesting and lightening. The readings are great as well. The focus is on learning rather than submitting assignments. Please take this course!

She is a great professor with enough knowledge to help students dive into the field of gender study. However, 1.The viewpoints of this class is close to radical. 2.There's a lack of diversity of voices. 3.The grading of this class is unclear with the TAs. During the middle of the semester, the professor has to replace a TA due to the poor grading.

An amazing GESEM professor. Made the content intresting and walked us through how to approach academic reading and writing. Classes are disscussions on the readings, so make sure you know what is going on. Not a harsh grader, but will push you to think ourside of the box.

Belcher is really nice and chill! No hate to her as a professor, she's cool, but I didn't find this class very interesting. If u wanna take a gender studies class this is a good one, not an exceptional amount of work. Grading between TA's isn't always consistent, but you're probably not gonna fail this class (if you manage to that's kinda crazy).

my favorite class ever!! however, if you're not passionate about gender studies/social justice & know how to write, you may find this class difficult. it is reading and writing heavy but no tests. also, your grade is really dependent on your TA; I had Melissa Chadburn & she's caring/lenient about grading/deadlines--the ABSOLUTE GREATEST!
