I absolutely loved this online course. Professor Maack was by far my favorite professor even though I could not see her face to face. She is always a click away. Answers emails fast and explains whatever you may be confused on. You do have to read the book though. It may be confusing at first but it is interesting. I highly recommend her.

You could tell she was very interested in the subject. The textbook was very confusing though; it made it kind of hard because the mini tests and discussion board were all based on the text. In the discussion board she gave you points for effort. Very understanding and nice.

I love Dr. Maack, she talks about everything. Her course is lecture notes, partial book reading just for added understanding (but not necessary to pass). Made a 100 on the final.

I took her for Cultural Anthro. The class is very interesting and the way she looks at the world is refreshing. I am considering going into Anthropology because of her. She'a a fantastic teacher and understands her students very well. Don't use the book very much, can probably go without it. Power points and attendance is all you need.

Professor Maack is a wonderful instructor! Test material comes straight from her lectures which sometimes lead to interesting debates.Keep in mind that a debate involves different views, so if you take her don't get all offended b/c you don't like what is said. Highly recommend her!!!

Comment:

Dr. Maack is WONDERFUL! Talks A LOT; especially about her daughter. But she's no where near boring. She makes the subject so interesting. If you don't know anything about it, you don't have anything to worry about. She'll explain it all with detail. She uses powerpoints for notes, which makes it easier, & talks more about what each slide says. I highly recommend you to take her class. I love it.

Took this class onine. Easy class. YOU MUST READ the reviews and textbook. Most of the questions to her quizzes are from the reviews sheets she provides, but there is usually one or two questions that she doesnt put in the review to make sure you read the text. I suggest this Ms. Maack to anyone. Great teacher, quick to respond to emails A+!!!

This is a great teacher. Her tests are hard, but you will learn much about Anthropology. Ignore these others complaining about her. This treacher covers every aspect of anthropology. She used comedy and talks to us students like the young adults that we are. I am glad to have been in her class and she has my respect, as she deserves it.

Comment:

Don't take her if you want to learn about anthropology. She rambles from the second she walks in and doesn't stop until its over. Last week she got through 2 slides in 2 hours. She is very harsh during discussions and forces her view on you even though she says she doesn't. Its her way or no way, you are always wrong unless she is in on your side.

Took her online class. Extremely hard. The tests are only 6 questions and you have 10 minutes to answer them. i think 2 tests u had 15 minutes. But the chapters are about 50-70 pages long, so pay attention to detail. She grades discussion posts HARD so don't joke around with those. Please, do NOT take her online. Im hoping in-class would be easier

I took her for Gen. Antro and it was an interesting class. She's an interesting character but overall I liked her. All her test Q's come straight from the review n 3 essay Q's. I'd take her again. She does cuss alot! lol.

Fun class, and the subject grows on you. She has real world experience, and makes the lectures personal allowing you to get more involved with the content. I took her class for introduction to archeology. Just Show up for class and listen.

Took the online course so the book was an absolute must. You basically read and then take quizzes online for the entire course. The class is taken at your own pace so you can knock it out early or wait til the last minute (not advised). Overall I enjoyed it, just read and go over the reviews and you'll do well.

Comment:

Cultural Anthropology is the most interesting class that I've ever taken. In fact, I would like to major in anthro now. Maack is a very intelligent professor and is really passionate about anthopology. I would recommend this class to anyone who is willing to have an open mind and would like the chance to see the world in different ways.
