Comment:

I was active in class and I studied for 2-3 hours for every exam. I took her summer class (8 weeks) and got a 102 in it. She's not the best lecturer, but if you really want to get an A in her class, you will. I found the subject interesting, however, and she definitely seems passionate about Anthropology.

Comment:

Professor Brewer is the best teacher I have ever had. Her class is tough, you have to study and pay attention. I learned so much though and I would recommend her to anyone who actually wants to learn something. She had a great sense of humor and does offer some extra credit.

Comment:

If you're an idiot, you'll fail and hate the class. But I loved her and got an A in the class. Exams are direct from the study guides so STUDY and you'll pass. She has some great stories and loves her subject. She won me over when she argued Darwinism vs. Creationism the first day of class. If you're interested in the subject, take her!

Comment:

Do NOT take this professor! Her exams are extremely hard -- the multiple choice questions aren't even on what we learned in class. She is also rude and only talks/lectures to one 1/2 of the class. If you can, take someone else.

Comment:

Professor Brewer's classes are 99.9% lecture. She is monotone and extremely boring. She can't teach! She only lectured to one half of the class. I took the 8 week class and the exams were very hard, even when I studied! She says the final exam is not cumulative but it is! Beware! Take another professor if you can!

Not very good at teaching. She doesn't really lecture very well: the only thing that saved my attention were the in class videos. She gives you these stupid exercises on a weekly basis to complete along with cross word puzzles. Tests are ridiculously hard.

go back to your registration and select another teacher. i fell asleep probably every class and she lectures 99.9% of the time, unless you're watching a movie. the course work is easy but she grades unreasonably. just don't take her.

Comment:

the most selfish teacher. doesn't care about her students. if you miss a class and didn't get the handouts, she won't run copies for you. she avoids one entire side of the class so if you have a question, good luck on getting it answer. such a bad teacher. don't know why on one has complained to the board yet. GO COMPLAIN! GET HER FIRED.

Comment:

WORST TEACHER EVER. Doesn't explain anything. The three tests are terrible. Multiple choice but most points are in the short answer which are mostly on films and assignments you can't study for. Puts something you've never seen on there.study guides aren't helpful. Pays attention to one side of the class. THIS CLASS BROUGHT DOWN MY GPA!

Comment:

This was a really easy way to pass a class with a "B". All you have to do is tivo or record the episodes. The week before the mid-term and final start watching. Take the book tests and make sure you know all of the answers. All you need to know are the multiply choice questions don't even bother with the other stuff in the book. so easy. so easy

This teacher is nuts.I started studying for the midterm two weeks out.No one in my class scored better than a c. She doesn't understand that she has a responsibility to make sure that the students are understanding the information she is vaguely presenting.I had a 4.0coming into this class and will probably have to take it again.!YOUWILLNOTDOGOOD!

Home TV Course - HARD! You get tested on chapters 1-13 for Mid Term and 14-26 on the Final...that's it. Then an essay. I suggest you take this class in the classroom, skip the TV Course. Teacher was great, very knowledgable, sweet.

BAD TEACHER.... WARNING.... She may be easy but she grades mainly on your essay and you will learn nothing. If you want to learn and still pass take Rettele. UC transfer Nursing Major, take Rettele. Your grade will be higher with him and you'll understand cultural anthropology. He is great....
