She was an amazing and inspirational professor. She challenges her students to think deeper about the subjects we study, and i loved that. If you do not like a discussion type class, dont take her because that is all you do every class is get in a huge circle and talk about readings assigned.

Sometimes I felt like she was just trying to appeal to me. Yes she's a feminist but there's more ways to look at things. Sometimes, I felt rather boxed in by her thinking even though she is a "free thinker." It's her job though to be a gender studies prof and she's a good one at that just not for me.

Cindy is an amazing professor. I loved that we did discussion format for classes because I was able to learn a lot. As long as you go to class, read all the articles in the textbook she makes for you, and complete all the papers well (3 small, 1 8-10 page), you should get an A. The papers she assigns are opinion based with the choice of format.

Solid prof. Very easy to talk to. No book, but you have to buy a reading packet thing from her. Only $25. Almost entirely discussion based with quizes on the readings most classes. A couple papers due through the semester. Have to do a presentation or poster. Some really awkward material to discuss sometimes. Hardly any men take the class.

Cindy is a well rounded human, and this makes her a fantastic professor. She gives a lot of quizzes but if you read the text and look over the questions before class they are super easy. She makes the textbook herself and asks for only 20$ PLEASE pay her for them because she works hard on it. She was so great I became a Gender minor.

You will not regret taking any of Cindy's classes. She is hands-down the best prof I have had on this campus, and has changed my life inside the classroom and out. In Intro to Gender there isn't a textbook, but a binder of articles that you purchase for a discounted price. She is always available to help. Cindy is 100% amazing.

Cindy has opened my eyes to so many issues on campus and in the world. If I could take intro to gender studies again I definitely would. Cindy has such a passion for what she teaches and the information in this class will truly change your life.

I wish we were graded on more than 2 papers and some 2pt. mini-quizzes. That said, she was an amazing professor and I wish I had another class with her in the future. She's challenging and the work load is sometimes overwhelming, but overall I suggest you take her if you're serious about your major.

The BEST professor on campus, hands down. She is challenging and expects a lot out of her students, but she is worth taking and she will change your life. Read the amazing book, participate in class, and have an open mind. No lecture, just open discussion which is so informing and fun. Take her for any class you can, you will not regret it at all.

I had Cindy for Literature of the women's movement. I learned a lot in her class. It was challenging, but in a good way. Group discussions daily, and all of the readings are required. A lot of reading, a lot of writing, but it's ALL worth it. She's also one of the most helpful professors i've ever had. Take her!

She is an amazing but challenging teacher. She is extremely intelligent and a provocative thinker. Don't take any of her classes if you're not ready to work hard.

Cindy Lacom is the best professor on the SRU campus, as far as I'm aware. I am happy to hear that she's still teaching. She always pushed me to reach my true talent level, which I appreciated greatly - no teacher has ever done so before or since. Highly, Highly recommended.

The BEST (female) professor I've EVER had. I'm going into my senior year at SRU and I've NEVER read ANY textbook as fervently and frequently as when I read in her class. She makes her own text book filled with articles and excerpts from books and it is HUGE but, again, it's an AMAZING read. Not necessarily an EASY A, but you should still get one.

Discussions are super interesting. She's extremely nice. Expect several (6?) papers, a lot of reading with quizzes to go along with it, and a presentation. She gives great feedback on essays and lets you re-do them if you did poorly on them.

Cindy is AMAZING. She requires a lot of reading, a lot of writing, and a lot of thinking, but honestly, she subconsciously motivates you to go above and beyond what she requires on your own. I never read and enjoyed so much before I took Lit Crit with Cindy.

Comment:

One of the better English professors, I love her college writing 2 class. She's good for people who like to write. Cindy always has a motive behind what articles we read and is always pushing the boundaries of what to write about. She isn't easy but it's not impossible, we have three essays though out the class, each one is seven pages. But the topics are always relatable and she encourages personal opinion in them. One of my favorite professors at Slippery Rock easily
