Comment:

Professor Fillion was great! I learned so much and loved the class. My only piece of advice is that if youre not big on reading, then this might not be the professor for you. Part of the weekly assignments includes a HEAVY amount of reading. The reading is required as the professor will pull questions from it for quizzes/discussions!

I may have gotten a decent grade in the class, but I would NEVER take another class with this professor again. Tells you to do one thing, but you have to read between the lines because there are things she won't tell you. Changes your grades after they've already been submitted and will talk down to you.

Fillion is amazing. She's extremely knowledgeable and qualified. On top of that, she's nice and funny too. Her class was interesting, but it is HARD. It doesn't seem like it at first, but it gets there eventually. You have learn every bone in the body and more. If you're not willing to put in 10+ hrs studying a week, this is not the class for you.

I genuinely enjoyed this class throughout first semester. She explained things very well so it was easy to understand. Overall just stay with your notes and youll do really good in her class!

Took this class online (spring). It was a lot more work than I anticipated. Read a chapter every week, along with multiple articles (some as long as 50 pages)/videos. Also a discussion board post 3xs a week. Testing and grading is fair. If you are into Anthropology, you will enjoy the class. Lectures are done very well, she knows the subject

Comment:

Great professor, truly knows her stuff. I find her teaching very interesting however the textbook is online and in hindsight is a great idea but because she is still working it out she wont post most the reading until the week you need the reading so you have readings on top of lectures on top of homeworks on top of more readings all online.

Expected you to read all articles and watch her online lecture as well as read two chapters from the book in one week, well less than that since you have a discussion board post due before the end of the week. Disliked the fact that i had to take a syllabus quiz and get a 90 to start my class work and see what my first assignment would be.

Comment:

First professor for online classes and it was horrible. She had deadlines every night and tried having her understand that it is hard meeting those deadlines with a job and she just asked her if I need help working on my management skills. Do NOT recommend her for an online class.

Comment:

Unless you have a crazy desire to become an archaeologist do not take this class or this professor. Simply the best advice I can give you. Beware nothing about this class is "introductory" much closer to a high live 200 or low level 300 class.

Comment:

Very passionate about her experience and career, and spreads that excitement around the room as she explains anthropology and the cases she's worked on. Only problem I had were the very messy notes, but I just re-organized them later. Doesn't go over the skeleton in class, so you have to do that in Blackboard after class.

Lots of in-class projects, lots of power points., LOTS of memorization and spelling counts. Hands-on learning with real and plastic bones + a facial reconstruction. Passed with a 4.0

Comment:

Online classes in general require more work than campus classes. This instructor requires daily participation which is ludicrous . Students are instructed to write papers at a college level but, the instructions given are so poorly typed and constructed they are hard to follow. You can seek help but, do no expect to receive useful information.

Comment:

For an online class, simply doing what is asked is not enough. For example when she says you only need 3 posts for the online discussion, you had better do 5 if you want more than a D letter grade. Also, her grammar is atrocious for a teacher, let alone college level.

Comment:

For an online class, she expects too much. I work full time and go to school full time and do not have time to be on Blackboard every single day. This is a class to take if you are not taking any others. You will struggle and not get much help. I would not recommend her to anyone. Very poor quality.

Comment:

I am now a grad student. This college class was the very first I walked into knowing I wanted to pursue a career in anthropology. That being said, the course was hard, but if you listened and took notes, it was simple enough. My class at UM-Flint in skeletal anatomy led to very little studying because of this class.

Comment:

She is an okay teacher but she is way to obsessed over her discussion boards. Not everyone has time to get on the board every single day, multiple times a day and respond to everything she posts. Even if you respond to the 3 classmates and meet posts requirements, she will still mark you down for low DB participation.

TypOs galore in everything she writes!She makes quite a few snide remarks, is not personable at all.She gives out way too much work in too short of a time frame.Some questions on tests were never covered in class.Only take her class if you absolutely have to!!!Lesson plans are unorganized, her online course is all over the place!!!

Loved this class! Love her teaching style. My Favorite teacher at Mott! This is not an easy class, but if you have an interest in Anthropology and show up and do you work, you should do just fine!
