Farrah is marvelous and as far as I know the only person who teaches Intro, so you luck out. Farrah is a great professor, I wish there were more like her. There are no tests in the class. None. There are a few quizzes over 2 novels that you have to read and she will give the class quizzes if people don't talk and participate so it is imperative that you read the material. For every class period there will be some articles to have read but they are all, for the most part, interesting and stimulating. You cover many topics, and no, it is not a man-bashing course. Males are more than welcome in the class and it is very interesting to get a male perspective on a lot of the issues. The grade components include attendance, journals, participation, essays (there are three), and a Zine (a self-published magazine for the final project). Farrah is extremely open-minded and facilitates discussion well, but as I said, reading and opinions are imperative for this class because it is an entirely discussion-based course. I hope you are blessed with a more talkative class than I was because she gets annoyed, rightfully so, when the class just stares at the floor as the minutes tick away. I highly reccommend this class - it is a real eye-opener and Farrah is wonderful!
