Comment:

Although she lays everything out in the syllabus, she is a stickler for phone use and tests. She can be a bit moody at times when questioned. She lectures A LOT and if you don't show up there's no way you'll pass as tests mostly consist of lecture material and significantly less reading. She is passionate which is nice, but tests are always tricky.

Comment:

Mostly lecture, not much homework. Clear on expectations. Sometimes boring lectures, sometimes interesting material. Takes attendance every class. A few textbook readings, 3 exams, no quizzes. 1 paper, a few short homework assignments. Emails you study guide material before all exams, and if actually utilized, that's exactly whats on the exam!

Whenever I can't sleep at night, I regret not ever recording her lectures. All I could remember is that her voice being very soothing and calming.

Comment:

Her class was extremely boring. She expects you to engage and no one really does. If you do all the work and get good grades on the test it's an easy A. She does take attendance into consideration. The class is okay but just boring.

Comment:

She was fair, I received the grade I deserved and her grading criteria was easy to follow. There was no final for her ANTH125 class just 3 exams each 50 questions with 20 true or false. There was also one project and provided extra credit opportunities. Attendance is important since she asked questions about video clips shown in class.

Took her for summer class, I have to say it was pretty easy when it came down to the assignments but boy it was so hard to stay awake because during summer her class was like 3 hours. Painful. So boring. She's really nice though and not a tough grader.

She is awesome! Honestly, just show up and do your 5 (one page, double-spaced) reflections, one midterm paper, and only 3 exams total and they're nor cumulative, and no final! She's fun but does like to talk a lot, although her lectures are great. However, to do well in the exams, go by the definitions on the textbook!!! gives study guides and ec

5 reflections and 3 tests, one essay. Class is difficult for international students or who not good at English. Before every test has a study guide. If you can understand what she talk about get A is so easily. If you don't, work hard with essays. essays can make sure you get a B. Interesting class but need English level on 100 class or better.

She's a good professor. I took SOSC 150 and Anth 110. I got A in both classes. she sent study guides before exam. Just study for study guides and you can easily pass. Just do your work regularly and you can do three reflections for extra credit. I bet you can get A in this class easily

Comment:

This class is super easy to get a B in, but requires a lot of extra studying and reading for an A. Like all of her classes, 5- 1 page reflections and 3 tests which she sends the study guides for weeks in advance. I don't think participation really matters and she could care less that most of the class was doing non related things on their laptops.

Easy GE class, with a super nice teacher. Attendance isn't mandatory, but she does recognize those who participate, which could affect a bump in your grade? Only 3 tests that she sends study guides for along with review days before the test, easy 5 1-page reflections as homework. Going to take her again for ANTH 125!

Comment:

I learned a lot this semester and genuinely enjoyed the class. Tests aren't very difficult and are pretty easy if you do the reading and attend lecture and take notes. She also does review days before the test so you have plenty of time to go-over concepts. She makes study guides for you also so you know whats coming. Just remember to TAKE NOTES.

Professor Slicton is great. She really does want her students to understand what she is teaching. She does give extra credit but only if you have turned in all of her assignments and taken all the tests.

This isn't the teacher for you if you're an Anthropology major. If you just need a humanity to get by, this is the class for you.

Comment:

Not such a great teacher because her lectures go on the whole class. Sometimes she gets sidetracked & starts talking about other things other than the subject. Her tests are easy if you pay attention in class & read from the texts she asks you to read. Not too much homework but I barely learned anything in this class.

Comment:

She may come off as a little rude, but I think it's just her sense of humor. She tries to get people interested with dry humor and life stories. She does tend to go off on random tangents that only sometimes pertain to the lecture. She also tends to jump around topic wise when it comes to lectures, so keep the book on hand for clarification.

Comment:

Totally unreasonable and if you go to her for help, she doesn't give you many options. She takes roll but the class is pretty boring. You can always just dip and she won't care. Her class is kind of confusing at times and she gets off topic a lot. don't take this class!!!
