I took this course out of personal interest but without much experience of public policy nor gender studies, and found the course challenging but enjoyable. The research part of the final policymaking project took a lot of time and confusion for me personally, but Sen. Hardy was really helpful when I went to her office hours. The class discussions could go somewhat more insightful and structured, and the quality of feedback one receives on their created policy for the final project is largely dependent on the engagement of their peers. Overall this is a great experience getting familiar with the policy making process at the state level, and the guest speakers invited to the class & the event opportunities were a real blast.

It is clear that the professor genuinely loves this class. The lectures really help clarify some of the information in the readings if it was hard to understand that week. Papers are graded incredibly lightly, with most students getting 100s. The only real issue I find is that you have to turn in notes every day of class, which is tedious

Laurie is a wonderful professor who is extremely knowledgeable. She can be blunt at times, but is clear and concise with what she wants from you and how to go about it. This class was incredible, and I quite literally wish everyone would take it. The title instills fear and stigma... but the content you are learning isn't all about what the title might allude to, because the tools and history you learn are so fascinating and explain why American culture is the way it is. This class is pretty heavy reading-based. It was all readings and reading notes and then a big project. So... if you do all the readings and participate in class you'll be good. Overall, if you see this class and are questioning. TAKE IT. IT IS SO WORTH IT.
