Comment:

Lectures are kind of pointless as she just talks about the readings. However, the books she assigns are compelling and she is an easy grader. Its an interesting class, but her lectures aren't so great. Seems like the same lecture over and over again.

Comment:

First off, she does make smart comments occasionally, however, as a rule, she perpetuates offensive stereotypes and generally condescends third world countries and their state of being. Her analyses concerning the world can be refuted by any fifth grader, and ultimately, I see her as a model employee for Fox News. Amateurism at is finest.

Comment:

I got an A. Class material interesting, but lectures can get dull as she just likes to talk and talk. 2 take home essay exams and 1 research paper - Very vague grading and guidelines but she is always willing to meet with you to help you as best she can. She expects all papers to be clear, although she doesn't care as much about a "correct answer"

Medical anthropology was one of my favorite classes. She's an engaging professor and helpful. The class is not hard if you do the readings.
