Great lecturer has very extensive knowledge of the subject. you must attend lecture since his tests cover what was said in class. the book is also a must since he puts questions on the tests that stem from articles from the book. Tests make a large portion of the grade. The short papers are easy points if turned in on time. Great professor.

Not a very hard class due to the tests being over his own personal beliefs and political views, have to buy the book that he wrote himself and his notes which are filled with his opinions and own political views. I would not recommend this class to anyone.

This 70-something know-it-all definitely lets his personal political and world views lead this class. I expected this class to be very enlightening from all the good things I've heard, but it turned out to just be 3 months of man-bashing. I think you've driven this class into the ground, Ron. It's time to pass the torch off.

Dr. Matson comes across as a wonderful man. He is smart, funny, caring, and gives a new take on the world. I learned so much personally about myself, my relationship, and the people around me. Lectures are engaging and fun to be apart of, never boring. It's important to read and reread all sections in book plus take extra notes lecture. Great class

Goes on and on in lectures, he tests over terms that are mentioned in the reading so you actually have to read his book. About 40+ pages to read per test. A lot of the questions he ask are over the ideas he shared in class so it's like you're learning his ideals and what he believes in. Prob the only class I haven't figured out how to study...

Matson is a great professor! He is thoughtful, his lectures are meaningful, and I enjoyed the class. If you take this class, be sure to attend (a lot of your grade is attendance points) and read the assigned book readings before the tests. You'll need to! He assigns 3 extremely easy papers throughout the semester, but thats about it for homework.

Dr. Matson is the best lecturer. He loves to get into discussions with his students and is very good at his job. I loved this class, very interesting subject. Takes attendance randomly. If you show up and do the work, you should pass.

To those saying that the class is his opinion, he has tenure, and is the Dean of the college he's in, so, it's expected. He did write the book, and all of the notes, but they aren't hard to follow. He definitely cares about his students so, if you don't agree with something he says, he's more than happy to have a CONVERSATION about it.

Matson is a great professor. Yes, he's older and his lectures can seem to drag on, but he's passionate about his work. Pros- Easy HW. HE GIVES YOU HIS LECTURE OUTLINE rarely do you need to scribble in extra info onto his notes Cons- Depending on your intellectual level, and awareness of your surroundings, most of his lecture is "No duh"

While Matson teaches the class, he also gives great life advice. His lectures are always very interesting. As long as you attend class, take notes, and do the assigned readings, the class is an easy A.

Comment:
Dr. Matson is a great lecturer, but class is still excruciatingly boring (it's gender studies after all). He can be funny sometimes, but he has a bad habit of trying to shovel his wrong opinion onto you. He preaches about spirituality and expects you to know his religious beliefs on his tests. Great lecturer, but horrible professor.

He is a great speaker and has a lot to say to the younger generation and they should hear it. However, keep searching because there are others that don't have hard tests. The lectures have nothing to do with the test. Be prepared to read the packet he wrote.

Comment:
If you are not a feminist, do not take this class. He wrote the book you need and all the notes so the entire class is his opinion that I did not agree with. It was hard to stay focused when all I could think about was how much I did not agree with his theories.
