Comment:

Attendance is mandatory. She takes roll to the very end of class. No show and she will drop you. Arrive late and she will lock the door, early in the semester. Lectures are boring and tests aren't entirely on that material alone. Read, take notes, and attend class. She offers extra credit, but only by her rules. Avoid taking.

Comment:

She sucked. What she teaches in the class is nothing to what is actually going to be in the test. It's BORING.Its a "Self-Teach" class because you actually have to read the book to get a good grade in the class. Its notes & notes And i doesn't even go in detail just plain bullet points.

Comment:

Always give students hard time.Developed many rules to control students.No coming late,no coming out 4any reasons in 3hrs straight.If u get out while she's talking,she'll lock the door and u gotta stay outside.Not allow any recorder in class.This isn't an anth class,this is a taking note class.Whoever get good skills on taking note is the winner

Comment:

This class was so easy and chill. Just listen and take good notes!! We got let out early pretty much every day, sometimes even up to a half hour early. Her lectures can get boring but she was a good lecturer. She gives out a study guide before each of the 3 tests. Make sure you know everything on it and you should be fine.

Comment:

Dont take her class, she is useless, you ask her a question and she looks at you like your stupid and then gets mad. She says she will work with students who are failing I know many that did fail class and she did not work with them. Not a good teacher, she talks througout the whole class and expects you to know what it is important and whats not.

Comment:

She is not very approachable. You'll have to take good notes, read the book and pay a lot of attention in class. Hard class but if you put an effort, you will pass and learn a LOT! And she pretends her tests are brand new, but she actually reuses the same tests every semester.

Comment:

I took her Anthro 2 class during the summer, and this was NOT the class that I was hoping to take. I was hoping to take a class that was an easy A; this was definitely not the right decision to make. Her exams were hard; read the book and read through your notes and you should be fine. Attendance is used as extra credit, so be sure to show up.

Comment:

A typical professor... Gives lectures, research papers and exams... Not an easy class for slackers but if you give attention to studies then there's no point in failing her class.. Take down good notes, read the book and you'll surely pass her exams... Attendance gives extra credit, so dont take many days off.. Overall, a decent teacher..

Comment:

She's actually rather funny & I learned so much more than anticipated. She's "Old Skool" which means she expects you to be responsible, attend class, take GOOD notes & not fall behind in the readings. I got an "A" but I worked hard & took advantage of extra credit. Approach her class as an adult, don't feed her lame excuses & you'll be fine.

Comment:

She was not a very good techer. Since she dont use powerpoint, she would talk rapidly and expect you to write at her paste which was sometimes hard. One good thing was that you do learn interesting material at the end of the semester. Her test are hard so you better read all the chapters and study the sudy guide. She gave extra credit which helped.

Comment:

get this! With a few weeks left, she wont let me take a test which surley will kill my grade! She is boring, talks fast, and isnt very approachable. If you want to study and have a hard time take her, if you can avoid her please do! its not worth it..

Comment:

It is easy to get an A from her if u follow 3 very simple steps. Take notes, especially when she repeats stuff and looks at the class. That's ur cue for something that is gonna be on the test. Just do the study guide. Answer those questions and mark the answers in the text book. Study ONLY those blocks for the tests. DO NOT fall asleep.

Comment:

Do not take her if you can. She is not clear or straightfoward w/ students regarding what she expects of them. She does not have a good attitude, I did not feel like I could go to her for help w/o her looking down at me or my note taking. I am on the Dean's list and she tells me my note taking suffers. It's like she enjoys seeing her students su
