Comment:

She gives random assignments and if you have a question about the assignment, she doesn't answer and she gets angry at you for asking it in the first place. She takes weeks to grade the assignments so you have no idea where you stand in the class. When she actually does answer one of your questions, her responses are rather rude.

Comment:

I have never seen a worse professor in my life. Please do yourself a favor and stay away from her at all costs. She is so rude and disrespectful. She wont even answer your emails if your taking her online. Shes very unclear on instructions and constantly switches due dates. And asking her questions only makes things worse.

Comment:

She is awful. I took this course online thinking it would be easier but she has somehow made it hard. She posts a syllabus each week containing weeks 1-w.e week you're in. Her assignments make no sense and when you email she does not reply. She assigned an online group project!! WHY?! IDK. she is not CLEAR AT ALL. Don't take her.

Comment:

The Class is titled "Language Matters" but it clearly doesn't matter to her. Little to no communication with students. Projects & Assignments not always clear. Feedback she gives on assignments is useless. Honestly, I didn't learn anything and God knows I made an attempt. Avoid her and this class if you can.

Absolutely ridiculous amount of work. Over a half summer session, expect term papers, mandatory interviews with native Americans, 5 page mandatory discussion board posts, etc. Fully deserves her 2 star rating.

Taking her class was the biggest mistake of my semester. She is rude, belittles students and doesn't let you go to the bathroom during her class. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Save yourself the headache.

This is the absolute worst teacher i have ever taken in my entire life. Does not email back ever! kicks students out of class if they use bathroom once in her 3 hour class. very rude, uneducated, doesnt know how to teach preschoolers! let alone college students. this is the perfect example of a horrible teacher that gets tenured and does even less.

Comment:

One of the worst professors! She is never clear on assignments, and will throw an assignment at the end of the semester right in your face. She is waiting for the absolute last day to post final grades. The only good thing about her was she would cancel class, but make us log onto Blackboard for attendance credit. This class was an absolute waste

Comment:

Idk why some people struggle with her, tbh. Just do her work, follow the syllabus, (she will reiterate the assignments every time). Her assignments are easy but can be lengthy. I would say overall, she is a nice lady. However, she doesn't teach much. You pretty much have to watch videos regarding anthropology and read a few articles yourself.

Comment:

First of all she is as unhelpful as teachers can get. You will never understand what she has assigned but she will go over the syllabus every single day. Not that it helps at all. Secondly she will assign these enormous "projects" and you'll never know when they are due. Thirdly MAKE SURE YOU SUBMIT ON TIME! She will absolutely NOT take late work!

Comment:

she is not clear at all. she doesn't give a proper syllabus & will end up going over it during each class. her instructions for the assignments aren't clear, but if you ask questions, she'll say something completely different. good thing about her class is that it's not a lot of work & you can get through it. (3 papers & one or two projects)

This woman is everything wrong with American higher education. She must have gotten her degree at some 1-800 college because she seriously has no ability to teach anything.

-Goes over syllabus every single class. -Made everyone watch a video of monkeys getting tortured. - Gives out assignments that are hard to explain . Asking her questions made things more confusing. - Barely teaches anything about anthropology and expects people to know it by the book which is required. Avoid her at all costs !

I took this class online & happy I did it! Yes it's true it's very unclear. Just ask her qs all the time. Know how to post pics on BB. Also try to do all assignments on time & better be the one of first ppl to post. Writing assignments are not easy, it's too much to do. Also the main Group project is annoying bs it depends on ur group. Still easy A

Comment:

I took her for an online class BIGGEST MISTAKE EVER. She assigns 2 group projects for an online class which is nearly impossible because communication within the group is nearly impossible. Is not very clear with her assignments, she simply posts the syllabus and expects us to know what she wants us to do. Maybe taking her in person would be easier

she made us watch a video of someone getting stoned in class. we workd on the same thing for weeks on end, when it could be done in like an hour, the only thing she taught us was a few vocab words, like the meaning of anthropology.

Comment:

Don't buy the books, never use them. She goes over the syllabus every week. Lots of confusing group projects and writing assignments. You need to attend class or you fail. She is crazy, made us watch a video of someone getting killed. Half the class left and reported her to the department and the dean. 3 hr long classes, but shes a great push over
