Comment:

Her class is extremely interesting, but that is because of the topic. This professor does not know how to talk to people. She comes off rude, condescending and belitting. I'm an adult and I don't think she would have gotten far speaking to me in this manner in person. Lucky for us both that I took her online class.

I took the 9 week course and there is a lot of ground to cover for the short time. Dr. K makes it clear what she wants as far as assignments as well as level of aptitude one may need to do well in the class. This class is not for the faint of heart; what you don't know or understand you will have to make the time to research.

Comment:

Horrible online class. I've taken plenty online classes and this by far was the most disorganized and convoluted layout I've seen. Maybe the prof/course is different in person?? On posts she responds condescendingly. I am always willing to put in work in any class but its so all over the place & its not worth getting a bad grade.

Challenging class, but not difficult. Your college skills WILL be put to the test in her class. Follow her instructions and you will be successful in her class. She is very good about getting back to student of they have questions. *FINAL PAPER IS WORTH ALMOST HALF OF YOUR GRADE

Comment:

I'm currently taking this class online. She marks discussion posts as mandatory and doesn't include due dates for all mandatory posts. I'm a fan of constructive criticism, but there is nothing constructive about her criticism. It's just "Well actually, you're wrong." Feedback is condescending. Shows off knowledge, doesn't actually want to help.

Dr K makes it clear that participation matters and is a big part of your final grade. You will definitely need to be reading everything to fully understand and pass this class.

I took anth 101 in a 4 week online summer class. Overall it was what was expected. Offers extra credit. She unlocked D2L a week early and closed a week late, making a 4 week class into a 6 week class. participate in discussions, she gives feedback. all quizzes you are able to take twice and the better score is kept. She also grades on a curve

I took this class as a requirement. Not knowing what to expect I was pleasantly surprised, she is a wonderful professor. If you need help - email her - she responds promptly. Be prepared to keep up with the reading, assignments, quizzes and you will do great! I was sad to see this class come to an end!

Having the book on time and reading the material is essential, participation is also a MUST! Overall the course is easy if you can make time to do the work. I really enjoyed her class and learned a great deal from professor Kamaila. She keeps her students involved throughout the course via discussions. Syllabus is KEY!

Comment:

She was great. You do have to study n you do need to write but it's mostly mentioning those key points that she's looking for. You can earn extra cred too. She was very helpful and you are free to ask anything. Taking this instructor is a must. Initially I had no interest in this class but became interested because of her comments on things.

For her essays, be sure to use lots of detail and outside sources. She loves information, especially use the resources she provides. Keep up with the work, and don't take the class if you plan on sleeping in. College is a place to learn, not be handed knowledge.

Comment:

There is just too much work. Essays, discussion boards, films, quizzes, reading and extra reading, leadership participation which accounts 10% of your grade. No doubt you will learn if you do all that. If this is your major, then go for it. Otherwise, you'll find yourself drowning in work amongst your other classes. It's about quality not quantity.

Comment:

The most intelligent women in the 805. She will teach you more about life in her one class than you can learn in a year. She is very tough, but if you REALLY want to learn I promise you that you will not regret taking her class. She will give you tough love, so don't be discouraged, Just take a min to think about what she's trying to teach you. -J

Comment:

I have never had such an intelligent, well versed teacher who knows her stuff like Prof. K. Her knowledge of the subject and many others blows my mind. She is NOT rude as another student said. She states the OBVIOUS in a plain way to fix mistakes so you and others can move on and learn. She doesn't pull any punches and rightly so. A+++++++

Comment:

There is nothing good about Dr. Kamaila that has not been said before. If you do the work you'll get the grade but most importantly you WILL learn. She is the best professor Oxnard College has to offer. I took 3 classes and its not my major. I loved her!
