The class is easy; if you are willing to do simple discussion posts and an online midterm, you shouldn't have a problem. Prof. Train is very aggressive and pushes extreme left-wing narratives through her lectures; she rejects scientific evidence without discussion, simply labelling any ideas that oppose her own as patriarchal, sexist, or racist.

Kelly Train is a professor that really proves that first impressions can be deceiving. At first, she seems really intimidating and stuck in her views. However, all those classes you suffered through will be worth it because she is an incredibly generous marker. With her, you will get a really good grade!

Receiving a grade back from professor train is like seeing a bowl of free candy on a porch during halloween

Honesty, I was shocked at the lack of objectivity in the things she was teaching about society. She had very cemented beliefs and I could feel many being offended by her blunt standpoints being presented as "THE right way of thinking." However, her expectations of students were very minimal and she made this course super interesting.

She told me to drop the class because I needed help on an assignment. Never met a ruder professor.

She's a soft marker despite how intimidating she comes across. The exams caused me pain. Every question was so convoluted and many did not apply to course material. She also seems to be very stuck in her beliefs which I don't love. She spends a lot of time hating on scientific disciplines or really any viewpoint that differs from her own.

Amazing professor, loved all of Kelly's classes

Prof Train wants you to succeed: generous extensions, gives an easy online participation mark, provides very detailed assignment expectations & comprehensive review questions for exams. Her lectures are detailed, wryly humorous, and are accompanied by a brief lecture outline (no slides). Feedback is blunt but constructive. Tests are MC and online.

This is my second time taking Kelly Train. There are no powerpoints, but because you are forced to take notes, her material really sticks with you. Her classes have been one of the few I actually learn from and look forward to going to. She is extremely generous and understanding when it comes to marking and assignments. I am def taking her again.

Kelly Train is a great professor. Lectures involve her talking without the use of slides, so be prepared to take notes. She is an incredibly fair marker. As long as you follow her rubrics and guidelines, keep up with discussion posts, and do what she asks, you are guaranteed to get a good mark in this class.

I had a good semester with this professor during my social work degree. Her lectures were a bit repetitive so I was able to pass all my exams without having to go to classes. She assigns a bit of reading but you should be fine as long as you do the readings and borrow notes from friends. She's an easy marker and her exams were also straightforward.

Professor Train is amazing. Lectures are heavy but she is very straightforward and easy to understand. Hope I get more classes with her.

I've taken 3 differnet classes with her. She's great. Lectures are never boring, but you MUST take notes since she rarely uses slides, and you have to attend every class. She's blunt, but I liked her straightfoward approach to teaching. She's a very easy marker as long as you know what she's looking for.

Not a feminist but this is the only university class where I have actually learned something. No she doesn't post slides, but her lectures are entertaining and interesting and forces you to listen, take notes, and actually learn. She is a great marker when it comes to the final essay and also provides other assessments for super easy marks.

Dr. Train is wonderful. Yes, she doesn't provide lecture slides. However, when she teaches, she speaks slowly and clearly and asks everyone if they have any questions/understand the content after every topic. I think she has a great sense of humour and she's passionate about feminist issues (which is crucial when taking a gender studies course)

In the beginning of the semester I was not sure how I felt about Dr. Train. She does not have slide to refer back to and in order to understand the class you have to attend all lectures. Although she is a fair marker and made concepts easy to understand. I definitely recommend class!

This professor comes off very passive aggressive in her feedback. Seems to have a very streamlined perspective on what is correct and does not take any ideas that may go against her own thought process very well. Also, the exams she writes are written in a way that makes the questions hard to understand, and she gives a lot of trick answers. Avoid.

Consistently shows up 30 minutes late to a 1-hour class with zero explanation. No slides, no lecture notes. Unnecessarily confusing exams. Rude. Unapproachable. Literally the worst. She should not be an educator as she clearly does not like her students at all. Just please avoid her, my goodness.

She doesn't use lecture slides, so you need to go to class. Her lectures are very informative and entertaining. She really wants you to succeed, so she provides a few things that are graded easily. She is very lenient in marking the final paper. Her exams are hard. All answers seem right and wrong at the same time. Don't recommend because of that.

The professor is very unprofessional when it comes to giving feedback. They will make personal remarks against you in feedback, and be very aggressive in their writing. The professor does not make a classroom a learning environment, often scolding writings that they do not personally understand or agree with. I do not recommend this professor.
