Comment:

If you want to do well in this class you have to read the textbook because her lectures don't cover everything and she often goes on long story tangents. Otherwise that the class is fine. 3 tests, lowest is dropped, one paper, and final. She doesn't bother to learn your name :/ not my favorite prof but overall okay

She is a good teacher but she is a little scatter brained sometimes. I took her for an online class and it was the most unorganized thing ever. But, in the end, she is trying her best.

Easy class, not much work. 1 post per week, 4 tests (lowest dropped), 1 final, & E.C. offered. Only spent 2-3 hrs/wk on this class tops & it was during winter (4-5 wks). The only thing that will make this class hard is if you dont read directions. JUST FOLLOW HER DIRECTIONS and its an easy A. & dont bother with the modules, just read the book.

Comment:

Mannen is a wonderful professor, though her lectures can be a little bit slow at times. Read each chapter a few times before each test. Lowest test grade is dropped. If you're worried about your assignment, speak to her and she will help. You will need to study quite a bit to get an A in this class. Some extra credit is offered.

Comment:

Truly cares about the students success. Enthusiastic and knowledgeable about her field making lectures fun and easy to follow. Gets excited when her students participate in discussions, sometimes gets a little goofy. Just a few tests, low score dropped and there isnt a ton of HW so there is pleanty of time to read! SO READ! Lots of EC opportunity!

Comment:

She knows anthro like the back of her hand so she always has something to say about each topic and is able to give various examples. Attendance is important because she covers a lot in her lectures. She tells jokes to keep the class from being dull which really helps. Her syllabus and grading is straight forward. Offers lots of opportunities for EC

Her class was ok fairly easy with little work but if you mess one up it will be costly. She has lost of EC which is good. Her class is both a mix of the concept and the vocabulary so be ready for both in the test. She's chill and will help you if you need anything also read the book it helps a lot and attend class cus her PowerPoint are important

Comment:

She is very sweet as a person but I do not like the way she lectures. I fight to stay awake in that class and her tests are purely based on the textbook not her powerpoint slides. She does offer a lot of extra credit though.

Terrible professor by far. I took her online course and she never answered questions nor was she ever online. Please take someone else! Spare yourself. She doesn't care about her students.

Worst teacher I ever had. The test and exams locked at the wrong time. Lazy enough to copy & paste from previous semester. She spent zero effort to change the dates! The material used is not written by her. Bad powerpoint, textbook, & added links aren't on exams or final! Material disorganized, study-guide misleading, no grade until end.

Comment:

This class sounded like it would be really cool but it was the exact opposite of all my expectations. The only time we talked about Salem witch trails and Wicca was the day before the final. So dont think you're gonna learn much about that. She never graded assignments from week 1. Tests were hard and long. No reviews. Harsh grading on assignments

Comment:

Worst course ive ever taken combined with the worst professor ive ever had. Lectures make you feel like youre only there because you have to. Material is completely disengaging. Tests are unclear to study for, and the course is heavy with group work. Stay away from anthro11 because shes the only professor that teaches this class and "Religion, Magic, and Witchcraft" may sound interesting but in fact its the complete opposite based on the material she lectures off of.

Comment:

I'm currently taking this class and this class is actually pretty boring. Her lectures are pointless really, and her exams have nothing to do with any of her lectures. Its basically all just learning the study guide for the exam by yourself because she goes off on random tangents and her powerpoints are not even notes. Theyre just one worded slides. Would not recommend.

Literally the worst professor I've ever dealt with. Grading makes no sense. Does not answer questions on syllabus. LAZY LAZY LAZY. For reference I'm taking 3 other classes which I have A's in all of them.

Very Passionate about Anthro, offers a ton of extra credit, Read the book her lectures are not the best, she tells a lot of stories that relate to the topics but won't help you on the tests, and get ready to work with people on group projects Overall great teacher.
