Kristina is the best professor I have ever had. She has a funny, sarcastic sense of humor that makes her lectures all the better. She encourages students to participate, due to participation being a big part of your grade. I took her class in London and wished she taught at my college instead because I would take another class of hers in an instant

She is the most caring professor I've ever had. I took her through my study abroad program in London and she comes from a different school than I do. All I can say is that I wish I went to ARC because of her. She genuinely cares about her students while simultaneously not taking anyones bs. One of the best anthro classes I have taken by far!

TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! Dr. CD is amazing !!! She makes class interesting (super funny) and she keeps it so real! Do exactly what she says and you will get an A. No book, she gives you all the notes you need. Attend class & participation is mandatory. There was weekly readings, discussions, and written assignment (2 paragraphs and 5-10 vocab words).

Comment:

She's a fair grader. Sometimes treats her Anthropology class like it's an English class; overcritical of non-anthropological matters. Not too tough on assignments. Participate in a group discussion, read an excerpt form an outside source, and read her proprietary text book chapter, and complete all assignments and you'll be fine. Some extra credit.

If you're not a liberal do not take her class because you will suffer. She is very open with her views and many modern issues are discussed in class. She is very intelligent and sarcastically humorous. No textbook at all, just weekly article readings and responses, plus one presentation and one paper. Fun class!

Comment:

I was turned off during the first weeks by the amount of assignments & their redundancy; same assignments/objective every week, different topics. But, I grew to appreciate the repetitive format, with a full-time career & family obligations it was nice having an easy to follow format with little surprises and a supportive and responsive professor.

C-D is a great teacher. she believes stress is too high on college students, so no quizzes or exams, just homework that is straightforward and fairly simple if you listen at all in class. write down whats on the board and you can't lose.

Comment:

This particular class: LOTS of discussion & sharing. Could sometimes be frustrating (for me, personally) but I still loved this class. Prof C-D is so kind, funny, and wants people to succeed. She assigns weekly articles (never very long ones) and you have a paper to write and turn in online based on it & the week's vocab words. Not hard.

Mrs. C-D is hands down the most amazing professor I have ever encountered, I have taken almost ever single one of her classes and plan to complete all of them, and I'm not even an Anthro Major. If you want to feel inspired, feel cared about, feel heard, be apart of amazing and hilarious lectures, and take home tests, look no further. I love her!!!

She is the greatest professor I've ever had. She is amazing in every way. I take classes with her just to see her lecture every week. She is also an incredible person. Her lectures are like comedy shows, but you actually learn stuff too. Just follow the instructions for the assignments and you will get an A. No exams!

Mrs. C-D is so funny and very sarcastic. I took her for anthro300, which is relatively easy, since she only assigns one assignment plus a discussion board a week. The downfall was class was 3 whole hours long on a Saturday.

Dr. C-D is an awesome professor She is passionate, understanding, funny, & cares for her students. She hand writes her lecture notes so no book is required. She is sarcastic in a good way. Be on time both in class and with assignments, be prepared to participate and you will pass! Emailing is a MUST if you need to miss or be late for class.
