Dr. Wheeler is an excellent teacher and reaches out to her students. She expects her students to do their best. She is there to listen to her students and to help them in any way that she can. She is an inspiration to me and she will always have a special place in my heart.

Comment:

She read straight out the book. veryyy boring. She usually talks about events for like 30mins and then reads off the book for the rest of the time. As long as you pay attention on "review" day then you can pass the exam. She curves grades!

Comment:

this was a very boring class. If you are able to listen to someone lecture then take this class. She only reads the chapter review for test. Some how i got a B- nd never passed any test, but class is kinda easy.

Comment:

Very accomplished professor. Tests are not easy, but she will prepare you. You have to be a complete idiot to NOT get an A - extra credit is available in many forms, and the syllabus spells out the grade format. Class is lecture and documentaries. Sheloves class participation.8-10 page social movement paper, but plenty of time to do it. Go to class

Comment:

she is really nice. you have 3 exams you have to take and 1 paper which is 2 pages. you can do 3-4 extra credits which is film reports (you can more likely bs it). She can be really boring because she teaches right out of the book but her test questions are right out of the books or wat she says which is from the book. its easy but boring class

Comment:

She really is not a help at all in class. Anytime anyone has a different view then what she has then she take it as a personal insult. She only reads out of a book. The first exam was on 7 chapters and she told us only 4 of them.

Reads from the text word for word and the students teach themselves. tests are straight out of the book and are usually 100 questions. can be boring but very intelligent and opinionated. i liked her alot.

Comment:

I am not sure what the other reviews are talking about. Here is the scoop. You will have to read the ENTIRE text book and memorize it, I kid you not. There will be 3 exams of 100 questions. 3 film reports, 1 cultural event to attend and report on and a kinship project on your family. More work than any other class but you will learn a lot.

She is a teacher that uses the text book word for word... Not Bad at at all but she can be a little boring every once in a while... She tries to helop you out as much as possible.. Over all Barbra Wheeler is a good teacher

Comment:

The class was a joke, she read from the book, never taught. She is pretty boring. You only need to read the book and be awake during give-away questions for the exams and you will do fine.

Comment:

I can't say she really teaches this class. She reads from the textbook word for word. However, it's obvious she's a very intelligent woman and her exams are pretty simple granted you take a minimal amount of time to study.

She reads straight from the book, but as long as you do your reading and show up to class it's an easy A! She's very nice, but doesn't seem to want to be teaching the anth class...

Comment:

The class is pretty abstract. Most of it is interpretation of the films and the readings. She's a pretty fair grader when it comes to the papers. And the test aren't super hard, as long as you've seen the films.

Comment:

kind of boring, and read right from the text book but then again i can't really blame her because she became sick when i took her for cultural anthropology (plus it wasn't her field of study) and had to leave halfway through the semester, but i still got an A..
