SHE'S AMAZING! She commutes Monday, Wednesday, Friday to UTC from UTK. She really cares about her students. Extremely easy. Class discussions are fun! Go to class, have articles annoted, participate in class discussions and you'll do just fine. I plan on taking her for English 122 as well. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Took her for both 121 and 122. The only reason not to pass her class is pure laziness. Anyone who tries and takes the time to meet with her and do 3 short papers and 1 medium size paper will probably make an A. Minimal reading. Probably four 3-5 page papers to read a week.

Monds isn't hard by any means but defiantly not the easiest. very understanding and laid back. Gives alot of little assignments all semester so you will always have some type of work. If you need to go step by step to write papers monds is for you. Very easy to understand only complaint is all the daily assignments more annoying then difficult.

Monds is one of those teachers who you can tell cares about you really learning something in her class. She doesn't just tell you to memorize or give you just enough to get by,she fights you to make you do better. I am the kind of student that needed that. She made me work. Hassled me when I didn't. She told me to do better-and then showed me how.

This class made me think deeply and see the world differently. Prof Monds takes difficult concepts and makes them easy to understand. The class involved readings, discussion, documentary films, activism, and a final project. She made the class fun, interesting, and most of all, meaningful. We talked about things that really mattered. Love her!

Prior to Women's Studies, I had Monds for English. She's super chill and refers to herself as a badass (which she is). The class includes multiples readings each class along with a reading quiz about once a week. Each class period includes a discussion over the reading to help prepare for quizzes and tests. I highly recommend Monds as a Professor.
