Laberge is very into the subject and the class (Women and Violence) is usually interesting.

Really great teacher. Is a lovely woman, and wants her students to do well. Follow her instructions, go to class, and take notes and you will do well. Didn't read most of what she assigned and still got an A in the class. Definitely recommend taking her classes.

BEST class & professor I've had during my time @ UD. She is so passionate about the subject; she's the reason I'm taking another women's class next semester. Gives extra credit; good amount of reading, but the readings are very easy to follow. I had my doubts at first, but I ended up with an A. Amazing class/professor.

Laberge is a very nice woman! She does not hide her beliefs on certain issues. The class is pretty much common sense. The class is out of 100 points, there are two exams and a non-cumulative final. Go to class because she will give answers to the next exam. 2 papers, a "field trip assignment" and a 5 point extra credit opportunity. Very easy A.
