An interesting course with a new perspective and a lot of new things to learn
Great! Some reading was a little too long in my
opinion but I fully understand the intention
Professor had in giving us the selected reading.
This course was great overview of the history and topics around
LGBTQ communities in relation to the US and Hawaii. The
professor did well in creating a space open for discussing these
types of topics in a class setting.
I would warn fellow students to steer clear from this class. The
stress, anguish and intimidation was not worth the takeaway.
Positive. I had fun in this class. It was progressive, and everyone was respectful to each other.
I enjoyed this class and learned alot of information that I thought I wouldn't from an online class. I enjoyed
having guest speakers which helped with engaging in the knowledge we covered in class.
9/10
... that it is very insightful and eye-opening. I like that we are able to learn and examine topics in our world
that we normally would not talk about. I was able to learn so many new concepts, terms, and perspectives
regarding the LGBTQ community.
not very good
Overall, I think this course was great. I enjoyed the topics we went over and I feel like I learned lot about LGBTQ history in relation to Pop culture in
America. The pacing was fine and the work required was reasonable. The instructor was very knowledgeable about the topic and invited good
conversations about topics in the class to help learn these difficult lessons.
This course was very eye-opening and I like how organized the class activities were. Each lesson was insightful and the activities were easy to
follow.
Interesting, but not my niche. I did learn new things.

To be completely honest this class doesn’t relate
to my major very much. However, I believe this
course is important to anyone regardless of their
major.
I think this really helped me understand more about the
community and shows how powerful media can be when used
to it's fullest extent. It made me wonder how my future content
would be perceived and how would it change or endorse the
worldview that they believe in.
The concepts and new perceptions were necessary but the
method used to teach it ruined the learning experience. The
methods were distracting.
It made me aware of certain cultural issues that I need to be aware of.
This class helped me learn to be more empathetic, open minded, and learn the history of LGBTQ
community that I would not have learned about in high school.
I believe this course has developed me personally and helped me to understand concepts and topics, that some
would consider taboo, better. And I am better for it.
This course is a requirement in my major and it have me more knowleedge and insights of the history of
LGBTQ people and characters in film and pop culture beyond the idea of representation. The idea of
intersectionality also made me think of other racial and social issues that I know I can address in my own
projects for other courses in this major.
It didn't
The speakers that we had helped broaden my understanding of representation. Not only with LGBTQ rep, but also with representation from the
Pacific. I understand that media is used as a marker for what was acceptable at the time and we can use it now to uplift voices and bring more diversity
into the industry.
I appreciate how the course taught me a lot about representation in the media. This will enable me to make better decisions for the stories I
decide to tell in the future as a creative media major.
It helped increase my point of view of a whole section of society I was not aware of. It helped me understand their problems
and specific issues they have to deal with and personal struggles they have to endure.

I really loved the overall discussions we had as a
class. Hearing everyone’s opinions and thoughts
on an important subject made the difference and
learning aspect much better.
I think one main resource that I would like is to have a space
with a detailed schedule on what the students need to prepare
for. When there are specific parts or section that the professor
wants us to read or watch before class, it would mainly be on
the announcements of Laulima with a few days remaining
before class. I think it would be helpful to include those
information on the schedule tab so students will know what is
required a week ahead of time.
More LGBTQ films would be nice
I believe that the professor does a good job of using many varieties of materials and texts. I don't think this professor
needs to add any additional resources. I like that the professor kept things relevant.
As a visual learner, perhaps having a presentation/slideshow for each class can be helpful. Especially when
we are talking about new terms. I know we had one at the beginning of the semester, but it would have been
really great if we kept that going every week.
A much clearer schedule, and being able to actually access the resources for free like the course was advertised to be. (scheduling a viewing
is not the same)
NA. I appreciated how all the resources were available for free.

A suggestion I have is to try and include more
films rather than texts.
Other than the schedule tab, I don't have anymore suggestions!
This is a heart-attack high stress class. My worst class so far. I
need the whole summer to recover.
I have nothing
I would suggest that the instructor put a greater emphasis on the terms we learn in class. For example, when writing
our essay answers in our quizzes I would often forget the words, but I'm not good at those anyway. Maybe
emphasize to the students, when going over the answers for the essay questions, the concepts that should've been
covered. I liked it when the professor asked certain students to read their answers aloud when she felt they hit the
nail on the head.
She could respond to emails better. She could be less dogmatic and not come across like she's trying to indoctrinate us. Within the LGBTQ
community, there are diverse opinions, and those were not showcased. It was only her opinions. She also could use academic-style lectures
to teach us factual information on topics instead of using casual conversation.
I think the instructor did a wonderful job for a synchronous online course. The discussions were great and the professor was able to create a great
atmosphere for our learning.

Great, she has a great spirit and passion for teaching and I enjoyed that personality she has.
Amazing class and professor!
The professor teaching style and method is a great help for
students in understanding the main points that each text
introduce while also creating a study resource to prepare them
for exams. Since these texts have tons of content to go through,
the weekly quizzes helped show us what the instructor is
expecting us to know and what will be testing us in the exams.
The class discussions also made it a great place for students to
apply these concepts in their daily lives.
She has heart but her intensity kills the learning experience.
Great. She is easy to talk to, doesn't judge you, and won't say you are wrong but just wants a class where everyone can participate in a respectable learning environment.
I enjoyed my instructor, I felt that I learned new information I was in my online class.
9/10
I think the professor is very knowledgable and understanding. She provides a safe space for us to discuss
and share our ideas.
Poor, lots of work and things to do but these things were not generally that academic in nature. For all the effort I put into this class, I would
have liked to come out with more objective knowledge. She's also a bit pompous when correcting people who have different opinions on
things like social issues. People should be allowed to have opinions so long as they are not counterfactual.
The instructor is great. I think she's very knowledgeable about this topic and was able to give great insight on how the problems that plague media run
deeper than simply the lack of representation. I will keep the topics we learned towards becoming a creative in the future.
The instructor is well organized and knowledgeable about the topics and text. She was open to answering questions and her discussions
helped me understand the material better.
She was very patient with us and was willing to explain things in great detail. She also provided many extra resources to
learn more about the topic.
