“In all, this was an excellent class. The students seemed attentive and eager to participate. Professor Petersen was well-prepared for this lecture on gender. She was clear in her explanations, used examples throughout, and encouraged class participation. Professor Petersen also used Powerpoint and media effectively. In fact, I really appreciated how varied she was in her instructional techniques; there was a freewriting session, followed by discussion, then a lecture that was quite interactive, as it combined Powerpoint slides with bulleted points, visuals (cartoons that illustrated gender, a brief video clip, and discussion. Finally, Professor Petersen seems to have good rapport with her students, and this is aided by the fact that she knows all of her students' names.”
