Just dont! Gave project results out last min. Def unorganized and just a bad marker

I loved this class, it's a bird course esp if you like the content. Readings show up in discussions (marks easy) & the quizzes. Get the main idea from the readings & you'll be fine. She made a video to explaining assignments & replies to discussion questions. I got to choose between creation and essay for finals, heard some profs don't do that.

This professor will ask for opinion based answers and choose your own topics but if you put an opinion that isn't their own or a topic they don't like you get graded poorly. Rubrics and instructions don't match grading or feedback and they will assume you are ignorant to first hand experience, even if you say you are a first voice student.

course is thought provoking and educational BUT the fTA (named Owens..?) grades so harshly, far beyond the scope of content learned and makes assumptions about your identity to rationalize giving a bad grade (eg assuming you have no firsthand experience), which is frustrating and pretentious + goes against the course teachings itself ironically...

Not a bird course. I found some books confusing, but I'm glad I put the time into the course.

writing poetry to understand madness felt inspiring and i learned more than i thought i would

I enjoyed this course, but the reading was heavy. Once I got over that it was realy rewarding

NOT an easy course. Thought it was challenging especially if you go in without the background on disability studies but did find the course rewarding at the end. I only emailed and didn't do meetings but she was mostly helpful.

Drew is a lovely professor BUT disorganized and has problematic assignments. 509 was an online asynchronous class and she had a group project. It was a nightmare to navigate for online students across different time zones. There was no group area online for us to talk/meet/. We all work and are in class (in DST anyways). 10 readings per week.

I LOVED this prof. The rubrics and assignments were detailed and prof was accessible outside of lecture. Readings were interesting, engaging, and directly related to course material. If you pay attention and engage thoughtfully with the material you can easily get great marks. Not a bird course but fun to take!
