Comment:

Honestly if you don't do well in her class, you didn't try. She is easy and very helpful. She posts the lectures online and the readings are very easy to understand. The exams are multiple choice and she reviews everything in class. She also very nice and if you go to her for help she will make sure you understand.

Comment:

She is really nice and helpful. There are curves on the exams, which I didn't do so well on even though I studied, but they really aren't that bad. Just too specific - study the powerpoints and articles and you should be good. There is extra credit and class can be very boring sometimes so sit in the front to hear everything she says.

Comment:

She's really nice and tries hard to help you understand the material. Her slides are rather dull (I fell asleep a few times) but all HW questions are derived from the slides. Her exams are fair - just really memorize the slides and read the questions carefully. It's easy to do well in this class. Recommended for anyone interested in anthropology!

She's really nice. No textbook required. Easy class, easy grade, 3 testes, 10 online hws. Definitely take the class if you like the topic n want an A. N the test is like so easy if u just read the slides n go through the readings. O just find the answer when u got the review sheet.

Comment:

She's a very kind woman and will do anything within her power to help you digest the material during office hours. The subject area was too difficult, but manageable if you're into Linguistic Anthropology. Quizzes were easy but her exams were extremely difficult. Was not a fan of her powerpoint slides. Take her if you must.

She is such a nice lady and she gives curves on the tests! I will admit the class is a little tough but extremely interesting. I'm taking her for linguistic anthropology seminar and I'm really looking forward to it.

she uses slides that make no sense, her tests are extremely hard and everyone does badly in her class. Do not take this class if you don't have to. biggest mistake of my semester. i spent hours studying and only pulled off 80s on her tests.

Comment:

professor makihara is relatively boring...most people stop showing up after the first couple weeks of class. She means well and is probably one of the nicest people on earth, but her class is really just not so interesting. Not hard though, and attendance/textbook are both unecessary

Comment:

iDK what all these people are talkin about. Prof Makihara was awesome! In the begininning of the semester she did take attendance but stopped towards the end. If you study the notes and read the articles that she assigns there is no way even a retard can't get an A in this class. Don't buy the textbook you don't need it. Def reccomended

Take her. Don't buy the book, don't go to class and study the slides before tests which are heavily curved and you can still get an easy A.

Comment:

Makihara is very nice but she often rambles and loses the class quickly. Her notes are all over the place and unorganized so when you study you go back and forth between her articles notes and textbook. I agree that people often will talk and take advantage of her niceness but you'll do fine in the class as long as you study her notes and articles.

Comment:

This class is torture. The most boring class ever. However, it is an easy A if you have tests which she re-uses. Get in touch with someone who took her. She uses powerpoint slides that you are supposed to copy down as notes, but those slides are made available by her on the internet. Take her if you don't mind crying of boredom for an A.
