William Mosley WGSS291 Expecting an A- Anonymous 05/22/2024	Professor Mosley is nice, and it was great having a Black queer professor. However, the course was very vague, and they didn't consider other viewpoints. We mostly focused on the Black and queer experience, which felt limiting. The workload was too heavy for a 200-level class, and you need prior knowledge to do well.
William Mosley WGSS291 Expecting an A- Anonymous 05/13/2024	Dr. Mosley is a great guy, truly. He is very knowledgeable, and class discussions he holds are very enriching and nice. His debates are also a lot of fun!! He also has some great stories to share and the media and material we go through is so well-picked and applicable. However, is a bit of stickler for participation, and there seems to be a bit of an unnecessary attitude at times. The readings he assigns can be incredible hard to understand and academic jargon-y, which make it difficult to participate in class if you don't really know what the readings were saying to begin with. If you are on the shier side too, this might also be challenging for you. Participation is also completely subjective on his part, and you can still try to say things, but he is ultimately the judge of if it really counts as participation. He can be very fun in class and his assignments are interesting, but it can definitely be stressful (especially with your grade) to do well. For a 200 level, elective, introductory class, the readings are far too advanced (coming from someone who is in a liberal arts/social sciences degree and does a lottt of reading), and the participation element of class is frankly taken far too seriously. I get wanting students to engage in discussion, but there will naturally be a few that don't say as much, for lots of different reasons. Having it deeply impact your overall grade is ridiculous. I had a great time in this class overall, but these shortcomings are definitely major points of improvement that should be worked on.
William Mosley WGSS291 Expecting a C+ Anonymous 05/09/2023	He isn't a bad professor, just not the best. He makes sure the class/ discussion aspect of his class is fun, but his assignments are pretty misleading. The class also isn't assignment heavy and is out of 100 which means every assignment counts. Another thing is attendance is mandatory along with contributing to the discussion which can be hard at times to contribute to because everything doesn't relate to you.
