Comment:
Thought the class was going to be the best of the semester, but it continuously became worse. She was dull, monotonous, boring. She's rude and argues with you if you ask her if you understood correctly. She is not organized with her lectures, but barely ties it together at the end. She knows her stuff, but I honestly wish I never took her class.

Mean, belittles students with patronizing and infantalizing language. Overbearing in discussions, can shut down student participation through intimidation.

Comment:
Too much reading if you're taking this class for a gen-ed. There isn't much structure to her lectures and I didn't find the material interesting at all. She does interrupt people and loosely defines assignments. There were two papers(mid term and writing project) and one take home written final.

Comment:
Very intelligent and has a lot of info; but, only speak up if called upon - don't ask a question or volunteer an answer, you won't like her reaction. Also seems to hold the view that if you don't think/believe as she does regarding the subject matter, you're both wrong & stupid.

Comment:
I loved her! She is very funny and interesting. She expects alot, but is usually reasonable and helful about it. I liked her so much I took more classes taught by her and have recommended her to others. Plus, the material she covers is fascinating and she is very well known in her field. An all around interesting person

Comment:
She is the absolute WORST professor I've ever had, and I do not say this lightly. She is very rude to students, interrupting them after she asks them a question and then proceeding to put words in their mouths. She is very condescending and pretentious and she defines assignments after you turn them in, so you loose points.

Comment:
She interrupts her students after she asks them questions. She seems to know a lot about the class, but she also says "another words" instead of "in other words" and that's just wrong.

This Prof is no-nonsense, but she is awesome at her job and one of the leaders in the field. One of the best Profs ever.

Comment:
Her lectures did not seem to be at all organized. She went on and on about things of minimal importance. Also annoying was the sound of her sucking on candy into the microphone. Kind of nauseating, in fact. Avoid if possible.

Comment:
It was a introductory class to anthropology class, so she really couldn't get to the cool stuff withough sounding boring. We did see some weird/funny movies in there. Somewhat unexpected at times. The books we read were very sultry. Good person.
