If you're looking for an easy A, don't take this class. If you actually want to learn something, do. Her lectures are full of information and she's a great teacher. Go to her office hours! For the papers she assigns and on helping you prepare for her in-class essay midterm and final she's extremely helpful! You can't bs her tests, know your stuff.

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! I took her my first semester at for Women's Work, and received a B; however, she has changed. Classes are conducted like a writing class, and now I can't write a simple paper. The content is the same in both classes, but grades are not legit. Papers were D's, but of course, you can come see her for help you don't need

This class is hard, don't get me wrong, but she is an amazing teacher. She is very knowledgeable and makes this class fun. I really enjoy her lectures and her assignments actually teach you a lot and make you want to learn more. Take this class if you consider yourself a feminist (and really everyone should).

Comment:
Dr. Mattingly strikes me as the type of professor whom would rather publish articles as opposed to actually teaching and mentoring students. Although she is incredibly insightful and passionate about the topics that were covered in this course, she fails to offer feedback to students whom whish to improve with their research and writing skills.

I had no idea what I was in for when I signed up for this class, the material was interesting, but can be confusing at times. She is a harsh grader and the assigned readings are very dry. Good professor, difficult content. Go to class so you can attempt to understand the readings because the tests are based on them.

Excellent professor. She is extrememly passionate and knowledgeable, very open-minded and helpful. I highly recommend taking courses from Dr. Mattingly or just taking a women studies course in general. Reading is a must, weekly quizzes are easy if you read, 3 essays, and 3 exams which she gives you the questions ahead of time.

Excellent Prof. There are quite a few small assignments but you get an automatic A on them as long as you do then and turn them in on time. Hard grader so start work early. Oh and Class is not mandatory

Very interesting class. Wonderful professor. Passionate about the subject. Do reading BEFORE class. She is interested in what YOU learn NOT in regurgitation. Allows open discussion. Weekly readings. 5 total weekly writing assignments. Take home mid term & final. You will learn A LOT about women in general and yourself.

This class is extremely interesting, the professor is very good at teaching it. She is very hard at grading, gives too many writting assignments, make sure you have time to do a lot of writting. mid term, final, other project are big writting papers plus 5, 3pg.essays. Like I said A LOT OF WRITTING. ONLY RECOMMENT IF U HAVE THE TIME!!

Awesome teacher. Best professor I have ever had at SDSU. She throws no softballs like most other Prof.'s do and being the "smarty pants know it all" that I am, I actually learned lots of things from her, rather than sitting bored in class like I do everyday at SDSU. Her notes are clear and concise, and she is very energetic and helpful.

Ok, so she is super nice,funny, keeps the class interesting, but this is a 350 level class not a 600 level class!! She does not get this. She grades waay too hard...on everythng! Liberating Economics is way to complicating to read, and I think she is finally realizing that that book is worthless and no help. Not worth the lower grade!
