This teacher teaches a very easy class, but she fills the class with a lot of pointless busy work. You will never know your class status because she doesn't return any papers.

I thought this class was pretty easy because I've taken other classes that deal with community. Professor Hanna reads straight off the overhead from the BeachBoard.

She's not the best women's studies teacher, but she's not terrible. The material she gave us was always interesting and easy to understand. It's basically an intro to feminism class, and Dr. Hanna is super duper feminist so I liked that a lot about her. Her teaching style is a bit disorganized though, but she's okay. The class isn't hard.

Test questions included opinions of authors and her own. Lots of videos, but make sure you write down any fact that could possibly be on the exam. Group project was difficult as we had at least 5 in each group and broad, undirected topics. Reflection papers were no big deal, but the topic paper took a lot of work. Be prepared to read.

Prof. Hanna is a lovely person. She's very nurturing and kind of like a cool aunt. She's makes a point to be engaging in class. The content of the class was really simple and mostly common sense, but it also provided basic info about personality and psychological disorders. Best part of the class was a self-change project. Easy and fun.

Test are easy but they cover a lot of material but she does give a study guide. Powerpoint's are online but she occasionally takes attendance.

She's a great person but an okay professor. Didn't really learn much but her class was easy: she gave study guides before every big exam, and everything she teaches is usually online. Certain videos you must take notes on but nothing you couldn't learn on your own. In general, felt more like a filler class than anything else.

She's eh. Reads off powerpoints... her class only gets interesting when she talks about her patients. There's a self change project and group project - takes too much time of your time.

Class is canceled often. Not lots to be graded on. Ended up cancelling a lot of papers that were due, which was nice. We had a group project that really sucked. We spent WEEKS just listening to people present so I ended up not going to class most of the time. Ended up with a B because of the lack of communication in a group project.

I have mixed feelings about Prof. Hanna. She's a super sweet person and I looked forward to going to class because the lectures were interesting and fun. But as for the way you're graded, she gives homework assignments that have little to do with the curriculum and you can't pass the exams only going to lecture. Reading the textbook is very helpful

She's a bit all over the place but a decent professor. A lot of her videos and info are old, either mid-2000's or 90's which sucks because I'd love to look at stuff a little more recent. Seems intimidating + rough at first but is friendly once you get to know her. Homework is easy to find in readings + tests are based on homework + lecture notes.
