Comment:
Dr. Ross is extremely knowledgeable about the content and provided many useful and relevant examples within current life. The class was structured in a "flipped" setting, so lectures were delivered via VoiceThread, and class time was used for discussion and clarification. As long as you come to class prepared and willing to learn, you will be fine!

Comment:
Her class is very challenging and she grades off of her own political views. If you have the same views as her you will probably be ok. She grades harder grammar harder than any other english teacher I have ever had. She is willing to help you raise your grade with extra credit but is harsh and snappy.

This class is an easy A if you put in the work. Discussion posts count for a lot of your grade so as long as you remember to them. The material is conveyed very well and you know what is expected on your assignments. She gives lots of opportunities for extra credit.

Dr. Ross is an amazing person but a really hard professor. I took her for my FYE class so I was expecting it to be easy to manage, it was not. Lots of readings, pop quizzes, confusing feedback, difficult papers, and HARD quizzes. She does give lots of extra credit opportunities and is super accessible outside of class.

I'm usually an A/B student but this class did NOT reflect my proficiency, nor did it reflect my large interest in this topic. I did ALL the reading, lecture, notes, and STILL did terribly! SHe's a super tough grader and doesn't specify what will be on the quiz- syllabus sucks!

Loved this class! Great professor who has a lot of knowledge and knows how to keep the students interacting. There are a lot of small assignments so you actually have to do the readings but its not hard. I would recommend the class! All tests and quizzes are based off the readings.

You have to go to class and take good notes, things covered in class will show up on the quizzes! Theres are a ton of requirements for the class and its a pain but it's manageable. You have to work really hard to get a good grade in this class and I would skip it if you have alot going on outside of school.

Comment:
I'm not sure why this course requires a textbook because the exams reflect her personal opinions and powerpoints that contain outdated data derived from decade old sources (assuming they WERE accurate to begin with.) The exams and textbook contradict each other. Not an articulate professor by any means. Grades grammar incorrectly as she sees it. F-

Put alotta effort in this course when expecting to not have to- i literally took her FYE class? Had to volunteer for 10 hours and write a crap ton of papers. If you don't like to speak in class / if you don't show up you're failing. w/ 3 absences& talking everyday40 participation grade. Not good at keeping up with her own requirements set. hw 24/7

She is funny and a nice person but her tests dont make any sense. They are very tricky. She doesnt upload any of her PowerPoints on oaks. She is harsh grader when it comes to papers. I loved psychology until I took this class. If i could go back & drop it, I would have. AVOID THIS CLASS

Took her FYE class and it was the most stressful thing ever. She assigns a ton of readings and you're expected to read them. If not enough participate during reading discussions, she starts her pop quiz policy. Hard grader on papers and there are a lot of them. Test questions can be very confusing. A lot of outside engagement required

I am a psych major and enjoyed psych until I took this class. Her tests are the most ridiculous tests I've ever taken she tries to trick you on almost every question. I did not learn from her test, I just ended up being more confused after. There is much more to say but I dont have enough characters to write everything I could. AVOID HER CLASS

Nice woman who cared very strongly aboout our academic success and pushed us toward it. Kind of frustrating at times because tests were extremely difficult. Also she has a pop quiz policy if participation is bad and the pop quizzes are 2 questions each. At the end of the day she'll make you work but if you do what she asks you'll be fine.

Amazing and super caring professor. The class was super interesting and so were her lectures. She gives reverse exams, so you don't really have to study and you can get full credit on test corrections. Kind of a lot of outside stuff to do (volunteering, papers, etc) but none are super hard. Very responsive on any papers you turn in.

Comment:
Super outdated lectures. I took this class expecting a psychology of what exactly gender identity is, but it ended up being endless lectures of random studies on men and women in the 1990s. Grades extremely harshly (beware of the first paper). Dont bother buying the textbook. I bought it and never even read it. Nice person outside of class.

Dr. Ross is the BEST professor I have ever had at the College. She is dedicated to both psychology and WGST, and wants you to do well. She has high expectations for her students because this is COLLEGE, so if you want an easy semester, or plan on slacking, don't take her. For those of you who actually want to learn, she is the absolute greatest!

Dr Ross is the most liberal women Ive ever meet. Grades papers harder than English professors. She is very her way or the high way, so I felt like my opinions didnt matter as much. Get ready to read, take pop quizzes, and participate in class. Makes you have mandatory community involvement, gives extra credit opportunities though.

At times she can be one of my professors because she cares so much about the subject and wants to see you do well. She is a very tough grader but if you do all the readings and study well, you will be fine. Participation is a very big thing and she will give difficult pop quizzes if she thinks students are not doing the readings.

Run like the plague! Prof Ross has the right intentions, but there are tons of assignments and she isn't consistent grading. Also she is a huge liberal, if you are anything but far left in your beliefs you will feel alienated 90% of the time. Oh and there is a volunteering project that will sneak up on you. Wish I had taken someone else.
