Sina Lee WMST200 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 03/26/2018	I took WMST200 with Sina my first semester at UMD and now I'm a Women's Studies major. The class was wonderful, well-organized with great readings and appealed both to those who came in with no background and to those who were already interested in the subject. I hear she defended her dissertation this morning, I hope it went well!
Ruth Zambrana WMST200 Anonymous 04/30/2011	This class was one of the most horrible classes I have ever taken. I am counting the minutes until its over. The amount of reading is unbelievable, and I had to put all of my other classes on the back burner just to keep up with the work. Not to mention the fact that the work consisted wholly of being unbelievably racist towards white people, demonizing any person who has money, and hating on the U.S.A. any chance they could get. This class was horrible because of the amount of work, and that I had to read every single night about how I was the devil reincarnated. This class literally taught how AIDS was created by white people for the sole purpose of eradicating blacks and furthering the white societal goal of genocide of minorities. Oh, and granting abortion rights to women also furthered the white goal of genocide. Essentially, every achievement made by women, such as granting abortion rights, was spit upon as racist against minorities. You had to study an unbelievable amount of reading for each exam. The class had two exams, and two large papers. This is not a bad review solely based off of my grade. I got an A. But my grade is rare. Alot of people failed the midterm for writing their own views. After the exam was graded the professor literally spent 10-15 minutes of class discussing how it is not possible to be racist towards whites. And that some people mentioned racism towards whites on the exam, and that this view is wrong - which ultimately contributed to them not receiving points. (I had the sense not to do that) I got an A because I wrote about how horrible white people are, how democracy is an illusion, and how I am actually unconsciously racist even if I don't realize it. Not to mention how America hates all minorities, and how all white people of european descent are actually satan and systematically oppress every type of person known to man through our "unearned status" based upon a highly flawed, and false system of meritocracy. Essentially, if you are willing to lie through your teeth, and hate on every aspect of America and yourself then take this class. I went into this class a democrat and a feminist. I came out a republican, and anti-feminist.
Michelle Rowley WMST200 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/15/2010	Professor Rowley's WMST 200 class is a huge bore. you sit in class for an hour and forty minutes. i personally facebooked the whole time but for multiple lectures she lets the TAs teach and she sits in the back and watches everyone...so you cant text or be on your computer without her saying something about it. class was easy but you had to do EXACTLY what they were looking for in the in-class activities. discussion was an easy way to boost your grade and the midterm and final were both take-home. final was a reflection of the class...easy easy
Michelle Rowley WMST200 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/14/2010	easy class, it's beyond me if you go to lectures and not get an A. engaging professor, reviews concepts of the material in class so that you understand (even if you didn't read the material.) as long as you understand the concepts you'll fly right through the class. rowley is passionate about what she teaches and memorizes everyone's names without even haven spoken to you (somewhat creepy?).
Augusta Bolles WMST200 alyz 01/12/2009	"Anonymous" is spot on. Lectures barely relate; very useless! Approachable Huge discrepancies in TA's. I also got the TA who graded us as though we were in an upper level class. "Anonymous"'s last sentence sums it up!
