Great class. Took this course because of the instructor. It was the right choice. Very inspirational class that covers several women issues around the world.

Best lecturer I have ever had. Incredibly interesting content, super engaging, and knows her stuff inside and out. Going to class will definitely help your grade, because little things discussed once can end up on exams, but her style is so fun that you'll want to go anyway :)

Comment:

This was an excellent class. Really informative, and Tara was really excited about the subject. Pay attention, and take a lot of notes as there is a lot absorb in her classes - she expects a lot of her students and teaches accordingly. Tara may seem intense but she was a brilliant prof, she should get a better rating on here than she does.

Tara is the best Anthro teacher by far. I have taken 3 classes with her now and haven't been disappointed. She is very passionate and caring and it comes out when she lectures. Attend class and take lots of notes! Very clear with what she wants. This class was a lot of fun! LOVE her!!

While I really enjoy her class, there are a lot of things I would change. I have no problem with amount of work, but there is a lot. Her syllabus and what she says/gives don't always match up so make sure to read the syllabus. She will make corrections. Do the readings, pay attention in class (and actually go) and you'll be fine.

Comment:

Makes me wish I was taking more Anth courses. It's easy to tell she's really into the subject and it's infectious. She gives clear information and focuses on interesting topics. The only problem I have is that the major project is a group artsy project. It would be nice if she gave a non-art option.

Comment:

Tara does not work well with people who are physically or mentally disabled. She can be very rude and very unflexible when you miss her classes. Must take notes and read all of the chapter before the lecture. I do not suggest taking her class if you can't take notes.

Comment:

Tara is passionate& knowledgeable about anthropology. She is funny, bright, patient & attentive. She does speak fast at times, but is aware of it and tries to slow down when she can.I recommend a voice recorder for the lectures(& 1 follow up listening), show up to every class, take detailed notes and do the required readings BEFORE the class.

Comment:

Taras lecture style is very organized (although she sometimes gets ahead of herself but its not too hard to follow along)and passionate. Her grading criteria is concise, but she does make you work for it. Anth290 is a brand new course at Camosun so there are still a few growing pains made evident in the inconsistent spelling of terms, and readings.

Comment:

Tara gives interesting lectures and provides current and inspiring information. However, she is a very fast talker, and it is easy to miss important points because she flips between slides very quickly. Tara appears like she would care about individual students, but really she does not. ANTH 110 changed my opinions, but for the worse.

Comment:

Not a fun class to take, very boring. If it was with a different professor it would most likely be more enjoyable. Tara is a terrible professor, would never recommend her to anyone or say anything good about her teaching. The exams are super hard, felt the content learnt in class was not on the exams.

Comment:

Tara is a good teacher as long as you write down everything she says. memorize your notes for the tests and you will be fine. she comes off as a hard ass at first but she really is not. she is more than willing to talk after class about concepts. all in all I would say she is a pretty good teacher.

Tara is an excellent instructor who very much wants to prepare you for higher level university classes. With that in mind, expect to read. But it is college after all. Duh. She's funny, sweet, and makes class worth going to.

Comment:

I would avoid this class like the plague. Tara, is completely unhelpful, dismissive, cold and unreliable. She constantly talks down men. When asking her questions, she isnt clear, and responds in a way that makes you feel like youre asking a stupid question. She reassured me that I could rewrite an assignment, which I did, but she never marked

Tara is a great prof and really knows her stuff. I do find she isn't very clear as to what will be on the test and even the tests can be confusing at times but her lectures are interesting and she is quite helpful. Show up to class! Stay engaged and take good notes and you will do great.
