I took this class online. First few days I felt very hard but the professor is very helpful. If you want to take this class, get ready to read. She will give extra credits too.

Comment:

Dr. Kerr was a great online professor. Very organized and class was not too difficult as long as you did the work. My course was only 5-weeks long and was not too difficult so I'd imagine that the regular semester-long course is even easier. Just remember to meet deadlines and you'll do great in this course!

Comment:

Dr. Kerr is a great professor for biological anthropology. Her lectures are well-organized. Good notes and reading the textbook are the keys to passing tests and quizzes (but the same goes for most other courses). She knows her stuff and is passionate about teaching it, so she's ready for (and welcomes) any questions you have for her.

Professor Kerr was awesome at explaining all the required information. Assignments were not extremely hard and you could always ask for help. The three midterms could be a little challenging if you don't understand the material. She is very understanding with issues and was really giving.

HARD class to learn. Lots of reading. I liked Prof Kerr though, she is easily reachable and very friendly. The topic itself is difficult, or at least it was for me. There are some extra credit opportunities. Quizzes each week, and four tests. Final is cumulative.

This professor is a really fine mentor and teacher alike. Her class is fairly easy as long as you attend, listen to the lectures, and ensure your understanding of the material. It is a very interesting class, and thus an interesting teacher.

Dr. Kerr keeps her lectures very animated which helps the students stay involved with the topics. She brings in bones from early hominids and shows videos for the different primates. She uses various techniques for organizing and memorizing information. She's very approachable when there's an issue at hand (SI meetings).

Kerr is an amazing professor. She gives wonderful feedback and makes sure the expectations she has of you are very clear. The class can be challenging, but if you devote the time you can get an easy A out of it. She will give you all the assistance you require if you struggle. She doesn't let you fail this class if you try.

She tries to make it as easy as possible. Doesn't assign much homework, gives a few quizzes. Tests are mostly writing so you have to know your stuff. S.I. sessions are mandatory.

Dr. Kerr is truly a wonderful professor. It is obvious that she loves what she does, and cares deeply for her students. Her assignments and tests are designed to get you to think, but they're not impossible if you study and come to class. Dr. Kerr has a beautiful soul and all of her classes are interesting, interactive and fun.

Took her forensics class last semester, and had an absolute blast!! Dr. Kerr has a heart of gold; she is truly one of a kind. Her passion is anthropology, that much is clear. If you need help, seriously, just ask her!! I am sad I can't take her classes anymore! All these negative reviews are stupid. She's one of the kindest instructors at MJC.

Dr. Kerr is an amazing professor. She is super helpful and really knows her stuff. Make sure you keep up on the reading and go to class, sometimes she gives out notes that aren't from the book. The class isn't easy, but she gives good feedback and gives extra credit if you go to the tutor. Great class, really interesting!

Comment:

Took Archaeology with her, but she's an osteologist by trade so she focused a LOT on bones. I really felt a lot of content about excavation and processes was lacking. That said, she grades really easy, so if you're taking it for fun, it's a good class. She is very kind. If you're really looking to be an archaeologist though, would not recommend.
