    Quarter Taken: Fall 2017 In-Person
    Grade: A-

    Even though the course is aimed to be an Introduction to gender studies, I personally felt the instructor assumed quite a lot of background from incoming students, such as the definition of transexual, bisexual, intersex, and gender studies itself. This was a bit disconcerting at first.

    Otherwise, the instructor covered a lot of content, including intersectional issues that are not gender studies per se, which I'm thankful about. The course grading had a strong emphasis on writing.
