This class is the bomb. You have to take it or any class she teaches at UCI or CSU Fullerton too!

Its a pretty easy class but you have to do the reading and pay attention. She is very helpful and willing to work with you if your struggling. There are assignments and tests so its a good mix. She's very nice and likes to do class discussions.

She is a very easy going teacher. shes got alot of work that you have to do but its very easy. you can easily pass this class with an A

You should really attend lectures. And DO THE OUTLINES the points will help you get the A in the end, because she doesn't do the normal 90-A grade scale. Her A starts at 92, and B starts at 84! Finding out what's on a quiz or test is like pulling teeth, she's very vague about what's on it. There's also a research paper.

Very informative class discussions. About every two chapters. there's a 20-40 question quiz. She's approachable and available outside of class. Class is very detailed but you can get a good grade if you make an honest effort. She's very helpful. There's a huge final project which can really boost your grade. I'd recommend her!

This class was very enjoyable. We had great debate and watching some cool movies. Pretty easy class, just make sure to study for quizzes.

I am not sure where the negative comments are coming from. Alabi is a tough teacher and shows her passion through her teaching. This class is incredibly informative and Alabi does a fantastic job. If you're ready for reality..take this class.

Completely discouraged me from ever attempting to call myself a sociology major again. Really nice teacher, really funny at times, but way too hard and loves to put people on the spot. She also loves to tell people how wrong their answers are. 75 question mid-term with no study guide! 40 question quiz on 2 chapters! don't take this class

This professor is very hard, but very good. I took some of the lecture for granted and didn't read on the first quiz. Big Mistake. I was able to drop that quiz though. She is very helpful during office hours, but a little annoyed by students who don't try. I was motivated to be a better student because I had to speak in class and write a paper

Good class. She so does not suck.

Dr. Alabi rocks! Yipeeeee!

Alabi is very passionate about her field. Intimidating at times, but don't let her scare you! She loves her students to participate. Quizzes every other week, which come straight from lecture (which are straight out of the book). You can miss a couple classes, as long as they aren't test days. She follows her rubric strictly - easy to follow!

This teacher is pretty cool. Her class is almost always entertaining, whether it be her cracking jokes or engaging the class in a brilliant discussion, its rather fun. However, there are quizes every 2 weeks and the tests are somewhat challenging. As long as you study and read the book you will do fine. I recomend taking Mrs. Alabi.

Just be ready for the final paper. Decent class, not much to say other than that. Very liberal politically in her comments.

her class is interesting. shes chill and sometimes gets side-tack for a quite some time xp but it makes the class more fun. tests r easy if u study. read the book and you'll do fine. i recommend taking her class!

shes really cool. tests every 2 weeks but as long as you study youll do fine. only big thing in this class in the 7 page paper due at the end of the semester. other than that class is a piece of cake!

study for the quizzes, even if there is a lot, counts a lot towards your final grade, really follow her instructions when writing the papers, midterms and finals were surprisingly easier than the quizzes you really have to keep up with the reading, class participation will make your time go a little bit faster in this class

I really like her as a person and her lecture is pretty interesting, BUT i found her quizzes obnoxious and did not like the fact I had to put effort into getting an A. Pay attention to the lecture read, aka be a student and you should get a good grade.

Reasonable, follows the syllabus. You get four 25 question quiz which is straight out the textbook. Midterm, final, and a 7 page paper due at the end... APA format, double spaced.

Her lectures are amazing. She applies gender differences to real life situations to make it easier to understand. On the first test I got a D but after reading the book I got a 99.5% so her tests and quizzes are right out of the book. The project is a pain and you're on your own. Really interesting class but overall the class isn't doing well.

I took her for Introduction to Marriage and Family. She was a fantastic teacher! I always looked forward to her class. She is really funny, and interesting!

My favorite teacher at OCC to date. You will learn so much information and be able to apply it to your life! I highly recommend her Marriage and Family course!

This class is difficult and takes a lot of commitment on your part to take notes and read the text. She is an amazing teacher who allows and welcomes others to express and argue their opinions. There are 3 exams, 1 presentation, and 1 research paper. As long as you are committed you should be able to do well in this class

I have never had a professor who said on the first day of class that she'd rather be wearing Chucks and Dead Prez t-shirt. I love the fact that she is 100% real. Her class is hard only if you procrastinate, don't come to class, or just plain lazy. No study guide... ***Make flashcards based on all your lecture notes and use the book's website!!!!!

The class is hard, but you will be fine if you study for the 3 exams. Even though her standards are very high, she gives you full credit if you turn in something. She is very nice and helpful, she always encourages to visit and talk to her at her office hours if you have problem. Take her if you want to study and are concerned about society.

She was a terrific teacher. The only class I had that didn't have mandatory attendance & the only class I always wanted to go to. Her tests are easy as long as you study for them. I loved the class & plan on taking more classes with her. Only this time I'll be sure to study more.

Professor Alabi is an amazing professor! She makes the class interesting and makes you want to be there. Her tests are easy if you read the chapters and study her notes. I highly recommend taking her class!!

I love her so much! Out of all the professors i had this last semester shes is the one i most enjoyed listening to in lecture. She was very funny, sometimes sarcastic. Things shes taught me i will never forget!!! AMAZING teacher, AMAZING person. shes super real, and actually cares about her student.

This teacher was by far the best teacher I've had in my 4 years of college. So helpful. Not to mention HILARIOUS. Keeps the class very interesting through out the whole year. Truly cares about the well being of her students and others. I would re take her class any day.

Dr. Alabi is a great teacher, her tests are hard but if you read the book and study her lecture notes you will be fine.

Well, If you have an issue with showing up to class, reading books, or studying, then do not take this class. Otherwise, one of the best classes I have ever taken. I took her marriage and family first and got a C but then came back to take Gender Studies and got an A. If you just put fort a little effort, this class is very enlightening.

Doctor Alabi is awesome and she may seem unorganized sometimes but it's almost never her fault (she has health issues and stuff). She is very fair. She is the only adult I've met who seems to actually care for the future generation. Take her class and ask lotsa q's and you'll be fine.

Not a hard class to pass. Note taking is a must to pass the tests and there is one big paper. Some extra credit, little class participation.

She's really one of the best professors ever! I don't know how people say she's too hard and to stay away! Anyone who says that aren't being serious about their education; education is meant to be challenging, that's the only way we grow and develop. I'll recommend her to anyone and everyone. Go Alabi! c:

I love taking her classes they are always the most interesting and hilarious professor ever. Her class is easy aslong as u study and pay attention in class. In her exams she incorporates both the lecture slides and the textbook, with a fill in the blank for the terms in her powerpoint and then main points in the textbook as multiple choice question

She was very outgoing and speaks her mind so be prepared if you disagree with her. She gives you a multiple choice test based on book and fill in blanks from lecture. You need the book because of the test. She has one paper thats due at the end of semester. Int really clear of whats on the test. No study guide.

The first day she will seem intense but as the semester goes on she is actually very intelligent and passionate. Attendance not mandatory at all. she didn't take attendance once and the lectures get emailed to you. She cares about her students and you can tell she is passionate about her job. Very intelligent as well. One of my favorite professors!

Those test though..... Amazing person, she really does care about all her students and making it a safe learning environment for all. I would totally take her again if she had more homework, I know that is crazy to say but when your grade is just on test scores and one essay, it stresses you out if you are not a strong test taker.

I took this class in order to satisfy social sciences requirement, but I enjoyed this course way more than I anticipated. Dr. Alabi is a caring, hilarious, and knowledgeable woman, she makes it known that her main goal is to educate her students so they can make a difference in the world when it comes to gender, which I think she succeeds at!

Take her class! Dr. Alabi is very passionate about her teaching. The class discussion/lectures are informative and fun (I never wanted to miss a class). Do the work and you can pass easily. Music and Movies are impeded into the classes to connect and help with learning and understanding! I would recommend any of her classes to EVERYONE!!!

She was a great professor and very inspirational. She cares about her students and teaches based off of the real world and not just textbook memorization. If you may attention and do the work you will get an A.

Tests are very specific to the readings. Multiple choice are based on readings and study guides (if given) are very vague. Written portion (fill in the blank) has no word bank and is very difficult. Only homework assignments are worth 5 points each which are notes taken on the readings and a research project worth 80 points.

Professor Alabi is awesome but she is always late to class. I have taken her two times GENDER 100 &130 and i really like her. However, she canceled class too many times and we didnt got to cover all her lecture. Theres two side of the test multiple choice and fill in.

She is interesting to listen to and provides a lot of good information, rather than just reading a textbook to us. She has an impressive resume and is really down to earth and kind.

The class has lots of busy work and gives about one homework assignment each week. If you take lecture notes and read the material the class is easy and interesting. Dr. Alabi gives hard tests, but if you study you will do well.

Ignore the bad reviews, most people who rated decided to take an intersession course knowing that it is a semester's worth of content (16 weeks) squished into 4 weeks of intersession, most have a false ego thinking they can do it when they don't commit their time into learning. The tests are a lot of questions but they take 10-20 seconds.

Took class online during Summer, plenty of time to get assignments done. She is very helpful with questions. You will be doing a large research powerpoint project that you must to do pass the class. It isn't too hard as she makes it very clear as for what you should do. Free textbook and a few exams.

It is not an easy A class for GE. You *will* be forced to learn with the required material and assignments. I took this class for Intersession so it was intense, workload and deadlines were always on crunch. Had a lot going on in my life so couldn't give it 100% but I think I'll pass with a B. Take it if you REALLY need the class or major in it.

Not sure why everyone is complaining so much. She is a very straight forward professor and while the final project is a little difficult to fill out, it is the only tough thing to do the entire semester. Fair grading overall.

I took ETHS 100 this summer to just get it out of the way. It was very intense for being a 4-week class, but I honestly enjoyed the material and Dr. Alabi herself. She does outline clear expectations in her grading and provides good feedback, where I think she looks to see actual application of the material in your work which can come off as harsh.

Took this fall semester online and was an easy A. She barely assigns anything and her assignments are very easy and took minimal effort. The only hard thing was project bc instructions are a little confusing but she gives you all semester and is very helpful if you have questions.
