I enjoyed this class. Very insightful. Probably wouldn't have liked it if this teacher wasn't as passionate about the subject.

Kushlani is very enthusiastic about the subject she is teaching. She is a harsh grader. There is SO MUCH READING to do, which she doesnt even end up lecturing on. She is very disorganized and the class has little structure. I wouldnt recommend taking this class. I wouldnt take it ever again.

Kushlani is really passionate, but she can be really rude at times. She says your opinion matters but a lot of the time I found she wouldnt pick me to talk, she was just talk the entire time. A lot of reading, the quizzes aren't hard.

Wonderful teacher! A little vague but means well. Very understanding, helpful and passionate. Easy class and if you have the slightest interest in the material, you're likely to pass.

Very good teacher. Class was always interesting, and it raised awareness about topics people usually ignore. There is some book work, but it is very informative. I am going to take her next class. I would reccomend this class to everyone!

kushlani always presents an interesting class that covers some disturbing facts. if you read the assignment you will do fine. i am looking forward to her classes

Kushlani is very passionate about her subject, and encourages you to be also. Some students complained about her, I do not see how. Only take this class if you have an OPEN MIND. Take very good notes on the readings, and be prepared to discuss with classmates. Also you need to show up to class.

I put of taking this class for years because I was afraid I would hate it. Kushlani has such a passion for this field of study that it has kept me inspired and wanting to do all the reading and writing papers. The best thing about Kushlani is, she is REAL! This class is not a bird-course, if you are not there to learn, dont bother showing up.

Kushlani is a great teacher. She really worked with me to get my understanding of the subject to a good level. every session there is a mini quiz on the assigned reading. Her projects and papers really speak to the subject and were fun to do, especially the media project.

Kushlani is an awesome teacher. I enjoy her class, she gives interesting examples from different parts of the world for better understandings. She knows what she is talking about. If you want to learn, take her class.

This was an overall easy class. She is strict and does not like distractions or interruptions!!! There is a lot of reading but not too much homework. She is pretty easygoing. The tests are easy!

She is a great teacher. You learn alot and she makes it prett interesting. Cannot slack off in this class because there are daily quizes. The papers are really easy and she givespretty good explanations. She does not like distrations but if you are not a distration and do your work you will not have any problems. I highly recommend her!

This class opened my eyes to so many issues I have overlooked. This class was fun, interesting, and most of all challenging. If you go above and beyond you can count on an A. Kushlani is very clear as to what her expectations are and is always willing to help. There is a lot of reading, but worth it you learn so much. I will take Kushlani again!

I am an A student, so following Kushlani's syllabus was not problem nor was e-mailing her with the proper subject heading. She is an amazing teacher who really cares about her students and wants you to learn. She does provide a lot of work, but its necessary to really grasp all of the concepts. I have had her for two quarters and love her!!!!!!!

Women's Studies is actually a very easy class. Kushlani however is "okay." She's intimidating, she is mean and it's hard for me to approach her when I need help but take as many notes as you can and you will be fine, she's not too hard to deal with.

Pretty awesome teacher. Some think she's strict, but she just doesn't like to be talked over. I plan to take other classes with her. Awesome lady.

I think she is a great instructor, very well prepared. Expects a lot but gives a lot as well. She is very socially conscious and attempts to instill that in her students, although some do not appreciate it -- their loss!

there was a lot of reading but overall it related to the concepts studied, this class was an eye opener, whether you liked listening to her or not, the issues still stand. great class!

She assigns an outrageous amount of reading and then you have to basically memorize minute details in order to get an A on the quiz. I'm a 4.0 student and expect to only earn a C in this class. Every 5 days at least 100 pgs to read + multiple videos to watch and activities to do that are extremely time consuming. Do not recommend.

Such a great class to sit in. She grabs your attention, the class is never dry. So easy to stay awake and pay attention.

Do not be afraid of all the homework she assigns the first 2 weeks!!! It get's easier. However it is a very challenging yet thought-provoking class. If you are willing to work hard, you will receive a fair grade. The teacher can sometimes be arrogant and politically-incorrect but you don't have to agree with her (I disagreed with %50+)

I took WS 101 and ENGL& 102 as a learning community class and enjoyed it. The workload is scary and vast, but you learn so much in those 10 weeks. I recommend Kushlani to my friends and if I am able to I will take another class of hers.

This is my second class with Kushlani, and she is absolutely amazing. I understand that she gives a lot of work, but I honestly did not expect any less from a college course. There are 4 major writing assignments, weekly quizzes, and weekly discussions. I would take another class taught by Kushlani again.

She is a fantastic teacher, a natural leader. Do not take her class just for fun because it's pretty extreme amount of work. However it is not hard if you are doing the reading and following directions, just time consuming. Her personality makes it totally worth it, she is smart, and on her A game. Great teacher and very interesting class!

Kushlani is a really nice and helpful instructor. Women's studies was an amazing course, I learned so much from the class and really enjoyed the way she taught her online class. We had no textbook and read articles that related to everyday life instead of dry material from a book. You must do the work, read and watch everything she assigns.

I learned so much in this class and really appreciate the fact that she's a tough grader, made me work even harder to perfect my analyses and discussions. There are a lot of interesting readings which are all relevant to the topic and to our current society. Definitely recommend taking this class, de Soyza is an amazing educator!

Kushlani is funny, and a good teacher, sometimes sarcastic. She grades pretty tough on the two short papers you have to do tho. You also have a lot of reading to do each week if you want to pass the weekly quizzes. She shows a lot of in-class movies that relate to what you study which were awesome. I recommend her, her and her class was great.

Professor De Soyza is well versed in the material she is teaching. If you are looking for an easy A, her class is not for you. However, she does give a lot of opportunities to make up bad grades, and drop low quiz scores. She is very easy to communicate with, and what she expects for you is made clear. I highly recommend her as an instructor.

Not good about responding to messages promptly. Pretty good otherwise. Easy class if you put in some effort. Substantial amount of weekly readings and videos. Discussion and quizzes every week. would take again

I absolutely love this course! Kushlani is very knowledgeable about the material and supplements the reading with lots of videos for you to watch. Discussion every week was interesting, and got students engaged. Nothing too difficult, a couple papers I think. Everyone should take WS, and kushalni was a great prof to learn from!! I recommend her.

Amazing professor with a very sincere and big heart. Knows what she's talking about and explains things very thoroughly. You can tell she cares about her students and is well respected. Class itself is fun and although there is a heavy workload it's worth taking. Try not to miss class and try to participate in class discussions (:

Lots of extra credit opportunities with this class! This class has impacted me the most of any class I have ever taken. This class is absolutely amazing! Kushlani does a great job of explaining everything and is good about respecting others beliefs when the material may conflict with them.

Kushlani is an incredibly knowledgeable professor. I strongly recommend attending every day, so you get the most out of the class. Feminist theory can be a hard topic to teach without displaying your own bias, but I felt that she did so well.

Great class. Tons of reading, has quizzes after every reading-- which is daily. Reading is from articles and videos she find, not textbooks. Listen to her, but she does have her own biases. Class can be eye opening.

I absolutely loved professor Kushlani, I loved her lectures, she would always encourage us to think about things in a different way and I loved that. She was a little tough on grading, but she gave really awesome detailed feedback. lots of reading but not too difficult. A quiz for every class based on the readings, the 3 essays were a little hard.

Kushlani is an amazing teacher, honestly the best professor Ive ever had at Clark. Ive taken two of her classes and loved them both! While her classes are definitely not easy As, if you show up and you do the work, you shouldnt have any trouble getting a good grade. She makes all of the concepts clear and easy to understand.

Kushlani was my professor for Women Studies 101 last year. She is amazing at lectures and describes everything to a T, very clear and is always there to answer your questions- she is funny and always has us in groups which lets you get to know other classmates when doing assignments. She grades tough but only if you dont try your best. Easy A!

Show up to class. Not because you need the lectures, but because Kush is a riot. Great prof

Kushlani was a pretty awesome prof. She always made us laugh, and her lectures were super interesting. Some of the videos we watched in class were hard to watch, but she always gave us a warning before any hard spots. We didn't use a textbook, but we had several online readings and a test before the start of each class. She had extra credit.

Kushlani was a really kind and intelligent professor. The weekly assignments were not very difficult or lengthy; just lots of online readings. This class taught me so many great things and I highly recommend her. My only negative is that she was slow on grading and it made it difficult to see my class progress.

Professor De Soyza creates an organized 1 page module every week where you are listed the required readings and videos to watch to prepare you for one weekly discussion post (and respond to another student) as well as a quiz. She is flexible with due dates and class is very interesting and worth the work you will not be disappointed in this class!

This is one of my favorite classes I've taken. Unlike most professors I know, Kushlani is very flexible with due dates if you communicate with her. There aren't too many assignments in this class, and the ones you do have are pretty straight forward. A discussion and quiz every week with the lecture and other materials, and three essays throughout.

I had a really good time taking women's studies with her. I'm doing running start, so this was one of my first college classes. I felt like there was nothing unfair about her grading or amount of coursework. I ended up doing really well and leaving the class with super impactful knowledge.

There are some readings, a discussion post, and a quiz every week; replies for discussion are rarely required (but you get extra credit if you do them). Two 750-1000 word essays throughout the quarter. Flexible with due dates! Does take a long time to grade things though. Still, I learned a lot and would take her again!

This is the 2nd class I've taken with this professor. Each week you read a couple articles, a chapter in the textbook (she provides for you), a lecture, take 1 test & 1 discussion. One week they didn't assign anything so we could finish our midterm, then gave us another week on top of that. May take a while to respond and grade though.

I feel like she was a super understanding professor! I enjoyed her in-class lectures and didn't bore me out. We in the beginning had actual quizzes but were turned into discussion quizzes instead of actual ones. We had a couple of articles to read before each class to understand what was going to be talked about in class. I would recommend her!

Professor de Soyza is a fantastic and realistic professor. She does a great job of realizing what her students do or don't need, and how far they may or may not be willing to go. She is a fantastic professor and I highly recommend her classes.

I absolutely loved Professor de Soyza. She covered a lot of topics regarding feminism. This class covers more than just women's studies. We went over media and everyday life portrayal regarding sexism and racism and homophobia. I think everyone should take this class, it's very educational. Homework load isn't too bad, lots of short readings.

Very easy class got a 100% just do the weekly discussion and easy final project

Underrated.
