Bobbie is an okay teacher. She gives review sheets for the test, which don't really help, but if you read the chapters they are not hard. She does always think she is right, and has a way of making you feel stupid for commenting on things. Her grading scale is not real clear on projects, however, participation points do make getting an A easy.

This class is a glaring example of the problem with modern feminism. The book, articles, and videos are all trying to force equality "because."

The work itself is pretty easy BUT extremely tedious. Every week you have learnsmart assignments to complete for at least 2 chapters, which can range from 100-250+ questions PER chapter. No quizzes or exams, just homework, learnsmart assignments, a few essays, and simulation exercises. Easy grader on essays though.

Lots of homework

She was helpful and seemed to be enthusiastic about the content. There is homework every week and short essays often, but the content is pretty common sense and valuable in real life. There are also short SIMs to test your knowledge that are helpful for better understanding of how the content is used in real life.

Bobbie gives really helpful feedback on assignments. The work was a little tedious but easy enough to complete. It was easy to work ahead and finish the work a few weeks before the end of the semester so that I could have time to focus on more difficult classes. Very easy grader on essays.
