xael, are we going by number of classes taught or number of unique professors?

for example, if I had 2 female professors and 2 male professors, but the 2 female professors taught 6 courses total and the 2 males professors each taught a course, is that 50% or 75%?

also I assume you don't want my phd professor make up polluting this thread :)

I counted classes, not professors. None of the women overlapped but I've had 3 male professors each twice. But I figured if in the extreme I had taken 10 classes, 1 from professor A who is female and 9 from professor B who is male, it wouldn't be genuine to say it was a 50/50 split (especially when you consider how many women are pushed into part time). Plus I go to a small school so there is lots of professor overlap.

Fall 1L: 3
Winter 1L: 0
Spring 1L: 1

Fall 2L: 0
Winter 2L: 0
Spring 2L: 0 (my clinic is run by dudes)

Now that I think about it, fall 3L I'll probably have all men too.

I'm at 4 professors, roughly 25%. I wish my school had more female faculty members.

I also assumed that professors informed their classes of their gender identity before the start of class, too :[

By semester (including summer credits; and counting two profs in classes with such):

5/6
4/6
1/1
2/4
1/7
1/2
1/6
3/5

So 18/37. Half of them were 1L.

ETA: Almost all of them were doctrinal (1L courses, corps, UCC-9), LRW or advanced writing, or experiential learning (internship/externship/clinic).
