This course is very difficult ,unless your a feminist you will find course fun and easy on the other hand if ur looking for an easy course this is not one of them. The course consists of 3 essays , and a difficult final exam, other marks come from seminars and lectures, there are few problems with this course. THE TA\'S ARE TERRIBLE, they expect so much from the students on essays and seminars , that\'s why class average is always in the low-70s, so make sure that you speak in seminars and have an idea of the week\'s reading is about or else ta will give u terrible mark. The prof just reads off the slides so don\'t bother going to lecture if your really interested in the content. If you do the readings then lectures are pointless and readings are vital for the essays and the exam. The class starts off with 300 people and drops to 100,due to boring prof. The essays and exam lead me to some sleepless nights so START EARLY. I found this course harder than CIS*2750,This course is truly propaganda and shouldn\'t be uni course what so whatever , good luck to who ever takes it.

This course is much of a challenge unless you are true feminist then take this course , I found this course harder than CIS *2750 because I was taking both at the same time. there are weekly readings ,3 essays and the final. Lectures are pointless, she basically reads off the slides don\'t bother going to them unless if you find them interesting . TA\'s are horrible as they take forever to mark and are very strict.Tbh this course hard and requires a lot of work and if your not a feminist this stuff is all propaganda .

textbook is super awesome and the seminars are great because you get to really discuss things- that is if you have a good TA which i did. readings are assigned every week and discussed in seminar. They are usually good stories unless there is an essay to read. there is one paper to write but it is not research based (only from the textbook). Midterms were goos, half from lecture and half from seminar and reading. The lecture material was a bit dry, the teacher was new though.
