She had a lot of fun with this class. She is a really cool lady. Tests were not hard basically told you everything that was going to be on the test. She did do clicker questions so attend class! A really enjoyable class

Is helpful and engaging during lecture. However, I feel she is extremely biased when it comes to gender issues, and teaches the class in such a way that is completely biased against men. She addresses the class as if it's entirely female, and disregards almost all issues related to men. She enforces very false feminists ideals as if it were science

She's really helpful and clear during lectures, willing to help students all the time. Her tests aren't all that difficult if you pay attention and do at least some of the reading. She also gives study guides which are super helpful before exams. She's pretty funny and cool too, which makes the class really enjoyable.

Interesting class. Lectures are mandatory because she requires clickers. 3 non cumulative tests that can be tricky; you definitely should study for each of them. Google docs helped me study. Lots of memorization. Extra credit is offered.

Every straight forward in lectures. brought up interesting topics every now and then exams will be fine if you go to lecture and study the power points

Extremely easy class, got an A without buying the book. Prof Rapalyea clearly is very passionate about the subject, so she teaches it well. However, she is extremely hostile towards men. I'm not even kidding when I say that I was offended sometimes by her perception of men. Class was 75% female.

Her lectures were copied straight from the book and the fact that she's deaf makes class discussion difficult. The material on the first and third exams was straight forward, however the second exam was crammed with more, difficult information. The online portion kind of helps, and the clickers make attendance kind of mandatory

Very easy class. Study what she presents in class and you will be fine! Test 95% from ppt and 5% from the book I read only for some chapters cuz those chapters were interesting! Clicker so attendance is a must! she is NOT hostile towards men! The topic itself is! She is very funny! topics include history to anatomy to LGBT to love and paraphilia!

Very engaged with her students. Is willing to be accessible to a giant 500 person class. Teaching is straightforward and tests are easy. Fairly engaging, doesn't just dryly regurgitate curriculum.

2 Midterms and a final with the final being another midterm. Make sure to show up to lecture because of clickers and listening to the information to add to lecture slides. Online homework. Make sure to read chapters bc she asks info that can come from there. If you read chapters, come to lecture, and do online homework, you can get a good grade.

I read the comments on ratemyprofessor and decided to take this class because I need a graded class! I thought this class was easy but no it's not the case. Professor Rapalyea is very good on teaching this topic. I have to say that I learn a lot. The class was fun, but if you're looking for an easy A, you better study your butt off.

Lisa is an amazing professor. I went to every single class with enthusiasm for her lectures. 3 midterms, 1 super easy paper, and clicker points; it's an easy GE class. The material is so much fun to learn about as well. This was definitely my favorite class and am now minoring in human development because of this professorclass. She is so sweet!!

Prof Rapalyea is one of the best professors UC Davis has. She is extremely helpful in class and outside if you attend her office hours. She really cares for the students and genuinely wants each of them to succeed. She makes the class very manageable. So if people don't do well, they clearly did not study or slacked a lot.

A great class that teaches you a lot. The readings and lectures have a lot of overlap but reading is still a must (esp. with the graded online textbook assignments). Easy extra credit opportunity, good and clear presenter. Questions are encouraged but since she's deaf, she may take a few tries to read your lips correctly. Some iClicker issues.

she is super cool a bad ass in a good way but super cool! and very understanding-super fair easy exams. no tricky questions just straight forwards. TAKE HER TAKE HER TAKE HER

Professor Rapalyea is a great lecturer and consistently updates the syllabus if needed. However, she is not great at responding to emails so definitely go to her office hours instead. She tries to help all students save money by talking to the Clicker company to help. Clickers are required and are helpful for practice. STRAIGHT FORWARD QUESTIONS.

I love her, she is awesome! 2 midterms and a final (very straightforward, no trick question), one paper (not too bad), participation (based off of clicker questions), quizzes (she allow 5 tries and record the best score), and an extra credit quiz. She is very fair. Now I want to take human sexuality with her because she is that great :).

2 midterms, a paper, and a final. We had clicker questions each class that counted as easy participation points. Also, we had chapter quizzes each week (given 5 tries to get the grade we want). The tests were very straightforward and no tricky questions. If you go to class, take notes, and study the study guide you'll do perfectly fine.

Really easy class. Basically study everything from her lecture slides which are often very straightforward. She tends to lead you by the hand and explains everything. There are also a few extra credit points.

Not an easy A! 3 exams(nothing dropped), 1 paper(5-8 pages), homework(15 of them), and mandatory attendance(clickers). She forces you to buy the Ebook($90). She graded the papers really harsh even though they were about the students own sexuality. Exams were not cumulative, but needed a lot of studying because there was a lot of material to cover.

Awesome Professor! Very clear and straight-forward about midterms/finals, participation and criteria. Her lectures are interesting and easy to understand/comprehend. There's two midterms, final, homework assignments, participation points and extra credit!

Get a clicker and go to every class for participation. Also mark in your calendar when homework is due because she does not tell you but it is on the website. If you listen, take notes on her power point, and review you should get an A. What she talks about is whats on the test. However, she does put out her opinion rather than fact sometimes.

Easy A as long as you do the HW and study. 4/5 because she forces you to buy the textbook. :(

Super easy class, lectures are fun and I actually *wanted* to go to them. HW and attendance are basically free points. Gives extra credit that's actually beneficial to your life. Exams aren't free A's but extra credit makes up for it. Learned more in this class than most of my major required classes.

Prof Rapalyea is hilarious. I felt a little weird taking a class on human sexuality and thought about dropping, but she made the class environment really comfortable and fun. She cracks a lot of jokes. Lectures are informative. Lots of homework (easy, but make sure you don't miss any!). Exams are very fair, she hands out great study guides.

Grades consist of homework, clickers, a paper, and 3 non cumulative exams. Lectures and homework readings are important, as they are relevant to exam questions. Exams are not too difficult, as long as you study the given study guides. The paper is long, but not harshly graded. Do any extra credit offered, as it can be worth a lot of points.

Dr. Rapalyea is a very caring professor who wants her students to do well. She makes herself available should students need help with the material which is very interesting. As a woman of color with who has faced significant challenges getting to where she is she is truly inspirational and sets a fantastic example where dedication can take you.

Dr. Rapalyea is overall a really good professor. She made lectures interesting and definitely encouraged people to explore their own attitudes towards sex in a healthy , constructive way. Sometimes her answers to questions were less than thorough, but her expectations were very fair and it was overall a good class.

She's a solid professor that can make a joke. iClicker questions to mark attendance, and online homework that requires a textbook. She repeats herself often and tells the same stories, which can make lecture kind of a drag, but it's still worth going. The exams are okay (there's questions that involve stuff she barely mentions) so study for those

Dr. Rapalyea is the best professor I've had at Davis. Her class is not difficult as long as you do the online assignments, show up to lecture, and do the study guides for the exams. There are three non-cumulative exams and a paper, which was actually interesting and fun for me to write. I was actually excited for lectures too!

She's an amazing professor, cares about her students and what she teaches. Class is mandatory because of clickers, but it's not that boring, so not bad. There's also really easy hw assignments with the online book, 2 midterms, a final. And a paper which was relatively easy, I did it the night before lol. Overall it's chill and interesting class.

Dr Rapalyea is a caring professor and really makes an effort to get the material across to her students, especially the reality and impact of it on everyday life. Her tests require a fair amount of studying but are fair game. She has hmwk, 2 MT, 1 F, and 1 paper. Overall, a great class

She is very passionate and serious about the material, but is also pretty funny at times and tells interesting stories. Exams are multiple choice, but can be tricky. She'll include questions from lecture, guest lectures, and the online textbook so make sure to set aside some time to study a bit. Some homework, 1 easy paper, and some extra credit

Wow. Where do I begin? Dr. Rapalyea is hands down one of the best professors I have ever had. Her class is interesting, straight forward and has fair exams. She genuinely cares for her students and enjoys teaching. I enjoy going to her class each and every session. She goes above and beyond to make sure students are learning and enjoying her course

One of my favorite professors, especially outside of class! The course is more enjoyable if you can relate it to yourself! Lectures didn't go as planned, but with the circumstances of COVID19, it's understandable. I found it inspiring when she opened up about her struggles as a student and it shows that she genuinely cares about her students!

I LOVE professor Rapalyea. She is so incredibly informative and supportive of students, and she does one-on-one office hours (even in zoom) so you can ask personal questions if need be. She is very open to all opinions, and sticks to the informative part of the course which helps a lot of people learn and understand other points of view

I loved Professor Rapalyea! I took this course for a GE, but ended up learning a lot more than I expected. Exams were very easy if you follow the study guide. The paper in itself seemed annoying at first, but fun as you got into it! I learned a lot about myself in this course.

Loved Rapalyea. Her Fall 2020 Quarter online was such a blast. It was my favorite class! Not only were the conversations fun, my classmates were all very nice and chill. You will be slightly behind on lectures and sometimes she'll go off topic about a something. She does use Reef to track attendance and does do clicker questions. Study well!

She is so badass! Her class was so enjoyable and informative. I always push people to take this class, and often refer to it. People who take this class without her are less happy. She is always willing to help explain things more, and fix incorrect points on things like clicker questions in office hours. Take her, you won't regret it!

I love this professor. Her class is structured well and the paper is based on a behavior you could improve on. While her instructions were not the clearest, she is more than willing to help, I went to OH and she basically helped me find exactly what I needed! Her exams really weren't difficult if you read and pay attention to lecture.

Prof Rapalyea was kind and helpful! She is very passionate about her teaching topics and is more than willing to help you during OH. She is understanding and accommodating. Graded on 2 exams, 1 paper, participation (Reef), homework. Exams were reasonably easy, make sure you read the book and pay attention during lectures.

The class (taught through Zoom) was straight forward and Professor Rapalyea helped with any concerns that came up. The paper and assignments regarding the paper were a bit confusing, but she did a great job clarifying and holding extra time to come and ask questions. Tests were super easy As. Homework was easy, but tedious.

She is amazing! Super informative and knowledgeable about the subjects and seems to really care about students. Attendance is a grade so show up, but lectures are interesting. Take good notes in class and tests will be fine. One paper that seems daunting but is actually really easy and had an A average in the class. Great class!! :)

I learned a lot through Prof. Rapalyea's lectures. She is very funny, knowledgeable, and caring. It was a shame that we couldn't ask questions during class until the end of the quarter (a technical issue). Not an easy A but I was very interested in studying for this class due to the essential topics.

Professor Rapalyea always made it known that she would be willing to meet us outside of class just to chat, even when the quarter was over. The lectures were really interesting and the midterms were fairly easy if you memorize the study guide. There's only one paper mid-quarter. I recommend this class for people looking for an easy GE.

I rarely write on this website, but I had to tell other people that she's an amazing individual and do not miss the opportunity to learn about your and others' sexuality from her if you haven't learnt it already. I took it as my p/np ge but ended up getting a final score that's equivalent to A. If you show up&pay attention to class, do the writing,

super interesting class, i think everyone should take if you have the chance! you learn a lot about yourself + prof is chill but a bit disorganized. she does iclicker questions every class for attendance/participation. midterms are easy if u study from the study guides + 1 paper w/ a easy and broad prompt imo. lectures are pretty funny too

super amazing prof! lectures were interesting & exams were easy if you do the study guide. attendance is mandatory & she does iclicker q's each class for participation. she is a little disorganized but straightforward. 3 exams & 1 paper which had a broad topic & almost everyone got an a. v accommodating & cares about her students.

As long as you make an effort on the homework assignments and listen during lecture, passing shouldn't be an issue. A very informative and fascinating course, and Professor Rapalyea keeps you very engaged! Attending lectures is very mandatory to do well; skipping even a couple will only be painful in the long run. All in all, a great GE course.

Professor Rapalyea had multiple moments in which she seemed to lack organization or accountability particularly concerning emails. She had attendance as a sizeable portion of our grade through a pandemic and was unwielding in communication about said absences. However, her actual teaching was great and I had no complaints.

Very nice teacher, really seems to care about her students. Make sure to go to all the lecture because she takes attendance. Thankfully, lectures are interesting. Make sure to study for the tests, and you will likely get an A :)

Rapalyea was amazing! Not an easy A but if you read the textbook and pay attention during class, you can get a decent grade . At times she seems overwhelmed (with emails particularly) but her teaching is awesome, she definitely knows what shes talking about. Dont miss class bc your attendance/participation is taken with questions on clicker/the app

Smartbook assignments take a while, 1 term paper on your personal experience, 3 exams non-cumulative. Attendance is mandatory (iClicker questions but wifi never works), professor gets pretty overwhelmed by emails so if you screw up something go to OH instead. If you can keep up with the class you'll be fine, topics are easy. Should be 4 units tho.

Very interesting and insightful course, loved it! Attendance to lectures is mandatory due to the participation points, with couple pop quizzes. 1 broad topic easy paper. 3 midterms MCQ non cumulative. If you do the study guide and read all materials, you will be good. Lots of reading from the book, but interesting. Easy class, and recommend her!

Easy material but requires some work if you wanna do well. Definitely not a easy GE if you are looking for that but the topics are very interesting, take the class if you are interested in the topics but don't do it if you are only looking to take a chill class.

Personally, I loved Prof Rapalyea's class. I think every student should take it if they can. Attendance is mandatory and lectures can feel long, but she is very interesting to listen to and keeps you engaged. The exams aren't bad. The essay in the class is about your own life experiences. Exams are fair. Rapalyea is hilarious. Highly recommend.

Dr. Rapalyea is very knowledgable and hands-on. Expect emails almost daily. There is a LOT of reading (600 page online textbook in 10 weeks). There are 3 midterms, no final, and a 6-8 page essay. Lectures are fast-paced and content-heavy. The class is very interesting and is honestly essential info for everyone. Attendance taken via iClicker.

She is very passionate about her lectures, which are very engaging. Overall, I thought it was an educational and interesting class, I was hardly ever bored, which is rare. I definitely got more comfortable talking about sexuality and learned new things that I never learned in grade school. While there are a lot of readings, I think it's worth it.

Professor Rapalyea is incredible. I don't understand why this class isn't mandatory. Super easy readings with open-book hw that's graded on completion, 1 easy essay, 3 midterms (final is the 3rd midterm). She's funny, caring, responds quickly, and is just overall incredible and really shows that this class means a lot to her. TAKE THIS CLASS!

prof rapalyea is a sweetheart and i thoroughly enjoyed her course. it's lecture-heavy but it's a college course, get over it (politely). i didn't attend every lecture but still got good grades on the exams because of the textbook, which is an interactive program you also get grades for. very informational and interesting course, would recommend. :)

I enjoyed her class a lot. She is very funny. Exams were straight forward

very knowledgeable and respectable. mixes in some controversial things here and there but it depends on the listener i guess. gives detailed study guides so intense reading and note-taking is not required for exams (also posts her lecture slides, although some nuances are omitted, so it is worth jotting them down). one of the more useful classes.

a lot of reading and lengthy study guides, but the content is very interesting. she's extremely helpful during office hours

Highly recommended! Material is not only interesting but also directly applicable to your life. She puts a lot of effort into providing research to help you succeed, and is very fair on tests. USE HER LECTURE OUTLINES. Its a hefty workload for a GE. Expect an average of 6-9 hours per week. Definitely worth every second though.

Passionate and well-versed in the subject matter, open to questions and insights, humorous when it's welcome. Lots of reading, but fairly straightforward. Please attend the lectures: attendance is recorded, with iClicker questions for points. Some quiz questions asked about specific things from lecture, not just textbook material.

There is alot of homework and reading, but I think it is worth it and I have learned so much. People say its too much work but it must be considered that this class is not "just a GE" for everyone. She is funny and engaging as a prof.Yes she pushes respect for human rights, but it is NOT political bias, its just advocating for all human beings.

I genuinely love this class and her approach. My only critique is her exams have an absurd amount of questions. The first midterm had 75 questions and the second had 80. Studying for the exams are tedious bc of huge amount of information. She makes it a safe space for all, especially marginalized individuals who are often targets of discrimination.

Very lovely professor!

Great professor and can be interesting at times, I definitely did enjoy the class and recommend anyone to take it. Stating that it is very lecture & test heavy , you have to study for the tests because some questions are confusing. Assignments take time to do. A paper that is 20% of your grade was actually fairly between easy and difficult to write

Dr. Rapalyea was an okay professor. The content is great, but you have to do a lot of reading in order to do well in the class. Her lectures were kind of boring; she did make it somewhat interesting by sharing stories. Attendance matters as participation makes up a good amount of the grade. Allowed a half sheet on 3 exams and were noncumulative.

This was a really great course and an easy A for me. The content discussed each lecture was extremely informative and easily digestible and I barely took notes. The homework and readings were super easy and fast in my opinion. I studied a couple of hours before each exam and still managed to get an A.

Took this class for GE credit and honestly I was pleasantly surprised. Her lectures are easy to follow and the material is not really complicated, it's a sex ed class. Professor Rapalyea appears passionate about what she teaches and gives you all the resources you need to be successful in this class. Her tangents are very informative n' interesting

I would 100% recommend this professor's class! I learned very much from this course; although attendance is mandatory it is all worth it in the end because it counts towards the grade- so just showing up boosts your grade. Her exams are non-cumulative, and rather easy to study for. She goes over "taboo" topics- better to learn than stay in the dark

One of my top classes at Davis! Easy A tbh. I always studied the day before and got an A on every exam (granted most of the info is stuff I already knew) The lectures were informative and the homework assignments didn't take too long to finish. She is always open to questions and has a great personality. I wish could take more classes with her!

I think human sexuality is a great class that everyone should take and it helps that professor Rapalyea is extremely passionate and knowledgeable on the subject. Do not miss the lectures tho, a good amount of the exam is on stuff thats only in lecture.

She is a great professor and keeps you engaged. There is just a heavy workload in the class but she offers a lot of support.

Prof Rapalyea was such a good lecturer. If youre a bio/ans major this class is easy. Some anatomy but not bad for medical students. Cheat sheets on exams, but have to go to class for iclickers, textbook reading assignments but reading isnt needed, just guess on questions and if wrong theres a button that brings you to where answer is in the text.

Very interesting class and material, great GE to take if you're interested in just learning about yourself. She does treat it a little harshly for a 3 unit class and there's some work you'll have to put in for tests, but you can bring note cards and they're entirely multiple-choice. Paper is a great opportunity too and not graded harshly.

She was very funny and had many interesting hilarious examples about the topics we would cover. While using McGraw Hill was very annoying(concepts) the class overall was pretty easy.

I really enjoyed this class, the Iclicker participation was kind of annoying but I would just sit there and do other homework. She kept lectures pretty interesting and the content is very applicable to the real world. Would take again, easy GE as a stem major.

This class is a great GE that will actually provide you with real world information, so for that reason it is worth taking. I really liked the professor, she's kind, and very very accommodating and welcoming to students with disabilities. The way the class is graded is the most annoying part, you don't really know your grade until the end.

I LOVED THIS COURSE, honestly if you can take her TAKE HER!! Midterms are hard but thats a guarantee, follow the study guide and you'll be ok, one paper not too hard and the homework is pretty easy too. Dr. Rapalyea is very open to any questions and cares about her students. I wish I could take this class again.

Prof Rapalyea is a great prof, prob the best for this class. She has so much info to share that sometimes she doesn't finish her slides. I thought reading a whole chapter and completing comprehension mcq for each lecture was too much, made it feel like more than a 3 unit class. 2 midterms + 1 final all noncumulative, 1 paper, mandatory iclicker

Dr. Rapalyea is a really caring and passionate professor. Her lectures are super informative and her exams are very easy if you pay attention to everything she says. The homework is a bit much for a 3 unit class and it isn't too helpful--review her study guide and you're good. Geolocation is set up for iClicker, so you have to be there.

Lovely person to talk to outside of class and made a late night lecture somewhat bearable.

lol if you're a stem major this class will be nothing for you, simple A, BUT if you're a business major or just not used to memorization or just retaining lots of information every week, you'll prob not like it for a "3 unit class". Content wise very interesting, prof is rlly good/nice, 2 exams 1 paper (paper graded based on just trying)

Dr. Rapalyea was a breath of fresh air in HDE 012. The class was really interesting especially because of her interactive lectures and side stories. The class is pretty lecture and reading heavy but not too bad at all. There's one 10 page paper about your introduction to sexuality that's worth a good chunk of your grade and 2 midterms and a final.

This should be a required class for everyone at UC Davis. Took this class with friends on my dorm floor and loved it. Prof is amazing. "I don't care what you take away from this class as long as you learn some sex tips." Midterms were very straightforward and you're allowed a cheat sheet. Final paper was graded harshly. Take this class!

Very good professor

Professor Rapalyea is a knowledgeable and passionate lecturer. The class has a fair amount of work, but it's manageable if you stay on top of the readings and attend lectures. The exams are challenging but fair, and Unstuck ai proved to be a helpful study tool alongside the textbook.

This class was super interesting and although there is a fair amount of work that goes along with it, all of the assignments are graded very graciously. Professor Rapalyea is an amazing lecturer and always tries to make the content engaging and interesting. 10/10 would recommend HDE 012.

I loved HDE 012 with professor Rapalyea. I wish this course was required for all students as it covers so much important info applying to everyone. Very manageable workload, fairly easy exams. She's very straightforward and doesn't sugarcoat things. Very nice and truly cares about your success in the course. Take HDE 012 if you have the chance!

Dr. Rapalyea is a fantastic professor for HDE 012. She is straightforward, and lectures in a very understandable way. The course definitely requires more work than a typical 3 unit course should in my opinion, but the content is fascinating and incredibly useful to life in general. The final exam is non-cumulative.

Really informative and clear when it comes to information and grading. The class was extremely interesting so attending was never dreaded. I do agree that it was a lot of work for a 3 unit course, but overall was pretty smooth if you paid attention and showed up. Final was non cumulative and the paper assignment was fun and graded easily

i rlly dont get how im failing this class and i missed the p/np deadline, im literally more stressed about this class than any other. shes a good teacger but i just cant bear not even knowing what my grade is until last min and missing the dead line for p/np. i feel like i have to study more for this class vs my stem classes lol

Such an incredible course!! Lectures were what I looked forward to the most every week!! Homework is okay, just make sure to stay on top of it. Exams were super straightforward and the study guides help a ton. Dr. Rapalyea is a great professor and super insightful. If you have the chance, definitely take this class!!

Even though it's a bit challenging, you can get an A if you prepare according to the study guide before the exams. You're allowed to bring a cheatsheet for the exams, and she also offers extra credit.

The subject was interesting and Dr. Rapalyea made lectures engaging and hilarious with stories. Reading is lengthy, and I wanted to read it all for personal interest, but it would take too much time so I browsed through. Exams are so easy-basic common sense (except the anatomy section) and info is worthwhile without focusing on numbers.

Professor Rapalyea is one of the best professors teaching the most amazing class. Three exams that are non-cumulative and easy. Make sure you take the class, it gives a better understanding of who you are as a human being. However, I think that with the amount of work we get, it should be a 4-unit class, not a 3-unit class. But, what can you do?

Professor Rapalyea is one of the most caring profs I've had here at Davis. She is very blunt, so she may come off as mean or intimidating but I promise she is super nice and will help you if you need it. She wants everyone to succeed in her class so just show up to lecture and study her study guides and you will be fine!

This professor is incredibly kind and clearly cares about her students. The workload is very manageable and she allows a half page of notes on exams. Her lectures are also engaging and fun. I would highly recommend her.

She is a great lecturer! I had her for 2 hours straight and didn't ever really find myself being bored. She gives you a small break in the middle as well. I think she deserves a better rating. We had 2 midterms and final (non cumulative) one paper, 2 reflection assignments, and some reading assignments but all fairly easy! I would take her again.

I understand how she can receive low ratings but this professor overall is great. She's strict but shows she cares about your success as she does allow you to use a half cheat sheet (double sided) on all three exams that are noncumulative. Grade is unknown because she grades diff, but overall if you pay attention in her lectures you'll do good.

Rapalyea is very blunt, dry, funny, and informative. She is not afraid to offend, she is anti-squeamish, and she makes you work for every single credit. That being said, if you like a prof with some character, and if you're willing to be uncomfortable and maybe have your ego challenged, you will value her class. I learned in her class.

Dr. Rapalyea was a wonderful professor! Her class was engaging and I feel like I learned a lot in it. There is one major research paper to be wary of (don't procrastinate on it you'll regret it) but overall as long as you pay attention and make a good cheat sheet for the exams her class is very easy and very doable. Highly recommend!

she's funny, clear on expectations, explains things well, this class covers such important things that most people misunderstand or just don't understand, everyone should take this class ! i took it as a ge but loved it

Professor Rapalyea is one of a kind—blunt but memorable. She uses iClicker, gives take-home quizzes, and offers extra credit. One major assignment is a 5-page paper about yourself. Tests carry the most weight, but you can use a half-page cheat sheet. Lots of stories—stay focused if you want a good grade(I didn't lock in lol).

One of my favorite teachers!!! Her lectures were well organized and clear. She definitely cares about her students and the topic she teaches. She honestly deserves a much higher score. If you study for her class, you can definitely get an A. I looked forward to going to her class every day.

HDE012 was such a fun class. I enjoyed her lectures a lot and feel like she made it very entertaining. Attendance is mandatory through iClicker. She also has 3 exams but they are noncumulative which is nice. A lot of reading though plus a paper, but all in all it wasn't bad. Just show up and do the work.

Dr. Rapalyea was amazing! Her lectures were super funny & the class is really doable for anyone I think. There were three non-cumulative exams, a paper, and weekly reading assignments from McGraw Hill. I'm a freshman & took this as one of my first classes and it was super great, would recommend :-)

Truly an awesome class, but a bit reading-heavy (3-4 hours per week). I recommend that everyone take it, as it's not too difficult and covers essential topics (especially if you're planning to start/already are in a relationship). Dr. Rapalyea really cares about each student and has great office hours. Go in willing to work, and you'll get an A.

Way too much work for a 3 unit class. The paper assignment was so vague and they graded it so harsh even though she provided absolutely no rubric or grading criteria to follow. Besides that exams are pretty easy and are a lot of common sense questions.

This is my favorite class of Fall Quarter so far. If I can change I'd make it a 4 unit class because the amount of work you have to put in is actually more than 3 units. But they are all necessary for your understanding. I wish I had a chance to take the course earlier, it can actually help you to understand more about yourself as a sexual being.

I love Dr. Rapalyea so much. The class can be a little difficult since there's a lot of reading, but most of the concepts are pretty easy to grasp and you can have a cheat sheet for exams (all multiple choice and final is non cumulative). Lectures are very engaging. Don't take this class if you're a conservative, you won't like it.

I loved her HDE class, it was very interesting for sure and she made jokes too which made the class better. She does assign many readings but its honestly not that bad because the readings are interesting (at least in my opinion!!) 10/10 would recommend taking this class and would take it again if i could!!
