TERRIBLE TEACHER! PLEASE DO NOT TAKE HER LAB OR LECTURE CLASS. She is brand new to Delta and does not explain anything at all. Her lab is impossible to pass and she expects you to memorize the entire skeleton. Terrible teacher.
She is a good teacher for those who are interested in learning about the origin of where we originated from. I did think i would but after taking this class i realized how boring it can be. A serious type of teacher not really into amusing the crowd. If your serious about learning and are interested in Anthropology to the max then take her class
I don't know why she has a bad score- she is great! as long as you attend class and study you will have a good grade. she gives extra credit and is clear. Classes are all lectures, but she is organized and nice (as long as you are not very late). I needed a letter of rec for student gov and she had one for me in a day.
Professor Dolan is not the worst professor ever nor is she the best ever. I am taking her for Intro to Archaeology and she's fine. Her classes are all lectures she has some in class activities. Grade is based on 3 exams and a paper plus extra credit is given. Her exams are fairly easy. She's new at Delta but not new to teaching.
This Intro to Archaeology class is extremely informative. The textbook is never needed, but attendance is encouraged to keep up with all her lectures. Besides a few days of in-class activities, this class was all lecture. Even though it can be a bit boring, Dr. Dolan is a great person and an amazing teacher.
shes cool pretty easy going . even a little sexy.
Ms. Dolan is an amazing teacher! At first I was really worried because all we did was notes but then she explains everything and does several little easy assignments to help you remeber everything. No Homework just three tests and some extra credit assignments! TAKE HER!!!
Dr. Dolan is adorable! I've heard a couple "aboots" from her this semester. :D She really loves what she does and explains things very clearly. She even gives out little easy assignments during class and there's an extra credit assignment too. Don't be late though - she won't let you stay.
Dr. Dolan is a great teacher. She gives clear power points before tests and has a cute Canadian accent. She is helpful and knows a lot about her field.
Absolutly loved this teacher. Anthro as a class is a little challenging with all the crazy species names and such, but Dolan made it interesting and easy to learn and was helpful. Lectures are vital to knowing what is on the test, so it's important to go to class if you don't want to be lost. Not a lot of writing, tests are pretty straight-forward.
Great!!!!!! I really enjoyed her class. Make sure ur phone doesnt ring though. She has field experience and knows her subject. Great reviews before tests. Nice Powerpoint slides. She also helps u if u dont understand something. very organized too. Extra credit opportunities too! excellent professor!
Professor Dolan is hella cool. =)
great teacher. its an all-lecture class (powerpoint), with only about 3 easy multiple exams, an extra credit essay, & the final. i loved this class, it was veryy interesting, but you could get distracted if you don't sit in the front .
Dr. Dolan has great powerpoints and they really help when studying for the exams. If you go to class and take notes, there is no reason to not get a good grade. Make sure you are on time because she will tell you to leave if you walk in late and that you can't stay. Also don't have your cell out because she will kick you out. I loved this class
Good teacher, a bit scary in class, she has some fun moments but she makes it intimidating to ask things in class or even to answer her questions. Nice teacher in person and fair grader, take notes, follow directions on the term paper, and come every day, you'll get an A!
I enjoyed going to her classes because she made Anthro interesting. However, she graded my midterm so hard saying I didn't understand the article [when all I really did was summarize it]. Haha. And I personally think her tests were hard even when I showed up to class everyday and took notes.
Dolan is very nice and understanding. However, she can be intimidating but if you get over that she can be very helpful. Definitely recommend LISTENING and actually going over notes after class. It's just the class overall that has a lot of material that needs to be memorized. Again, no phones or being excessively late.
Dolan is an amazing teacher, yes her class is hard but just studying and for sure you will pass. She makes sure you understand what she is trying to say and any questions she will help. Also, she is funny during lectures to keep you entertained! DONT TEXT IN CLASS THOUGH! ahha but overall amazing teacher, I passed her class with a C
She is a good professor. The class is somewhat difficult though. You just have to study! She offers extra credit in her tests, they're worth 1 point though. Just do well on the tests, the research paper, in class assignments and you'll do just fine! I passed with a C.
The class is really interesting. She has a "No BS" attitude so you need to be serious with the class and come every day. I never studied for the tests (averaged B-/C+) and didnt turn in the one paper worth 10% of your grade, but I still got a C. If I actually tried, I probably could have done way better. Really good teacher.
Annlee Dolan is by far the best teacher at Delta College. She has a real passion for teaching and it shows in her lectures. The class was definitely the hardest class ive taken besides Chemistry but it was so rewarding. I studied for four hours a day for the entire weekend gearing up for her tests and it paid off big time. Highly recommend Dr. D
Yeah, Dr. Dolan's a nice teacher. She's pretty strict on tardiness though. Don't you dare to be late to her class, or you're going to be kicked out :) Well, I kinda admit that her class could be hard sometimes since you have to memorize alot of crazy species and such. Man, it's definitely a challenge, but hey, at least I'm learning.

Honestly this class wasn't the walk in the park I thought it was going to be, however it wasn't that bad either. Study all the review questions and notes and you can get a hard earned A or take it with Scully she is very nice and easy!!!!
This teacher sucks she makes people feel stupid if they do not understand the topic. The says drop the class. Not good at all the is a waste of time.
This teacher sucks shes mean and likes to make her students feel stupid.She is not helpful at all not a good teacher this class is a waste of time
The two commentors before me are stupid and obviously were too stupid to follow the rules. She is VERY explicit on her rules and her expectations at the beginning of class. You can't handle it? Leave. If you pay attention, do what she says, and review the material, you'll get an A. End of story. Yeah, she can be scary, but she doesn't mess around.
The person who wrote the postive comment about this teacher doesnt know what they are talking about. She is mean and very stuck up. She is never around to help her students when they need help. This teacher is not a good one
Dr. Dolan is amazing!! Strict? Yes! Great professor? Yes!! She's not there to hold your hand people, she's there to teach! If showing up on time and prepared for class is too difficult for you than you shouldn't be in college. I found her class to be tough but worthwhile. Plus, that Canadian accent is amazingly sexy!! eh?
Dr. Dolan was one of the best professors I've had at Delta. She had a no-nonsense attitude which I really enjoyed. If you're going to have phone withdrawals this may not be the class for you, but you will learn the material. You do need to study, and if you do you will surely get an A.
I had her for both the lab and the lecture class. She is a good teacher!she explains everything well and Reviews for every test. All you have to do is study!!and youll pass the class! She can be mean but only if your disruptive.
I took Dolan for lab class and at fist the class seemed easy and she was helpful but after the midterm she had her favorites and she isn't very helpful to others. I took scully for lecture and I loved her. I wish I had taken lab with her too she is do fun and Dolan is not as helpful as she is . Take scully instead of Dolan
Dolan is not the easiest professor, but she knows her stuff. She made things so clear and interesting. She doesn't put up with bs, so just be attentive and she will be there for you. Dont be late, and do the homework. I tried to take skully, she was a joke. Dolan is amazing and you will get out actually learning a lot!
Couldn't ask for a better teacher!
I must admit I really enjoyed going to her class. I got a B in the class but its not easy. She is strict but nice. Never much homework. I'd recommend her just don't miss any classes or your screwed.
She is a great teacher, and you can tell she loves what she does. lot of note taking but the tests are straight of the notes. an easy and fun class. She loves to talk about different sites and can be easily distracted at times. Her tests are pretty easy if you review your notes. she is strict about being on time.
Awesome teacher! She is strict about being on time but overall interesting class. She doesn't ramble like other teachers and she knows the subject well.Just study before the exam and take notes. Not much homework.
3 tests, 1 paper and some class participation. Take her classes. You will thank me and learn a lot!
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS UNLESS U WANT 10 PAGES OF NOTES EVERYDAY AND SHE EXPECTS YOU TO WRITE A RECEARCH PAPER LIKE SOMEONE WHO HAS A dOCTERATE DEGREE
Dr. Dolan is a good, attentive teacher who really cares about what you learn. She is serious about her students that are serious about learning. She will always explain things if you need help and if you study for the tests, they're just like the review. The term paper is hard for some, but she clearly sets her standards for you. I learned so much!
the best teacher I have ever had. Can not wait to take more of her classes.
Doctor Dolan is an amazing teacher. She is strict and holds students to standards that are expected of college level academics. If you study and do your work on time there is no reason to get less than a B in her class. Your grade truly does represent the time and effort dedicated by the student.
I highly recommend Dr. Dolan for those students who take their education seriously. She does not like when student's cell phones go off in class and will dismiss you is your's goes off, and I applaud her for doing so. She's definitely an awesome professor!
The 2 midterms are worth 25% of your grade each and the final is 30%. These tests are only out of 50 points. 10% for the term paper which she will give you a 0 on if you don't follow directions, 10% for class/online assignments, but hardly any homework. Test review days are optional, but very helpful. Lots of notes every day. Tough, but got an A.
Great teacher, must attend class everyday and be prepared to learn would not recommend taking her class if you tend to miss a lot of class
Very interesting class and Dolan is a great teacher. She at first is very strict and does not mess around. She does grade pretty hard and scare people by telling them that there is a high fail rate on tests and midterms. As long as you fallow the instructions on her assignments you will do fine. FYI!!!! DO NOT HAVE YOU PHONE ON OR BE LATE!
Great teacher! Knows her stuff! 3 exams and 1 midterm paper. a few in class and take home assignments. TAKE GOOD NOTES it will help. she is willing help u and make u understand the subject. test 1 i got a B. test 2 i got a C. and i got a B on my midterm paper.
She wants you to learn and I respect that about her. I can't stand the way she gives instructions. She tells you everything what not to do rather than what to do. I shouldn't have to ask you a hundreds times what the hell you specifically want. She doesn't get to the point. She thinks she is teaching her students lesson by berating them all time.
Dr. Dolan forces you to study just about everything there is as it will all be on the tests. Her online lectures are lengthy but very helpful and detailed. I would only recommend taking her class if you are able to put the time into it or are passionate about the subject.
took this online this semester, it is very difficult! hard grader! quizzes are not multiple choice every time, she changes to truefalse, short answers, multiple choice. BE PREPARED to study and read her lectures thoroughly bcuz when it comes to the quizzes, she wants u to be specific and detailed. and be prepared to spend most of ur time reading!
As much as Dr. Ann Dolan got me interested in Anthropology, she was often condescending. I attended every class and lab, asked for help on things I wasn't clear on, and still got a C in both classes. All due to the research paper, which was graded "F" for her BS claim of "unintentional plagiarism" and the lab final. I wish I had gone to the dean.
Professor Dolan's class is really time consuming. In order to pass her class, you MUST listen to her lectures and read the textbook. Her quizzes and tests are moderately hard. Study, study, and study to receive a good grade. I found the material to be quite interesting. Take this class if you really need to, but be prepared to work for your grade.
Professor Dolan does not care whether you pass or fail! She offers no help or solution for students struggling in her course! If you perform prooly on her exams she will suggest you drop the course instead of offering assistance!
Like the other person said, she is very condescending and rude when responding to emails for help or simply grading your work. If you struggle, she suggests that you drop; and will take points off questions she believed you cannot do in a certain time.
The tests are hard. Studying is really important. On the second test you take, she gives you an article to read. READ THE ARTICLE. If the class doesn't do good on the essay question on the test, she gives you a harder essay question on the final. So beware.
Professor Dolan does not care whether you pass or fail her course. She will not offer any assistance if you are struggling and will suggest you drop her course should you receive a D or F on any exam.
I get this subject isn't easy, but still if a student asks for help it doesn't seem like she may help. As mentioned in previous comments below, she rather you drop the class then try and pass it. The paper you have to do is long and if you mess up once on it, she won't read the rest and fail the paper. Test are tough yet are multiple choice. BEWARE
Her exams are tough, instructions are okay. She doesn't care if you pass or fail, if you start off weak, she'll suggest that you drop rather than help you succeed.
Doesn't seem to care for students, very condescending and rude. Also a very tough grader.
Dr. Dolan is an excellent professor who doesn't take any crap. She refuses to dumb down her class or give extra credit to slackers. I enjoyed the challenging material and concise lectures. She has an open door policy but will give a zero if instructions are not followed. My favorite class and professor. I worked hard for my A and learned a lot!
Hopefully Dr. Dolan is a better anthropologist than instructor. Absolutely, no ability to relate to living human beings. Please leave Delta and return to your fossil research.
Dr. Dolan is a tough professor; will suggest that students drop her course if they are struggling. Took her online class and struggled through every test! She will not adjust her course to fit anyone's schedule-it is her way only. No extra credit, paper is tough and is graded as a pass or fail. If you miss one source or plagiarism is suspected-fail
Dr. Dolan did not seem to care if you passed or not. She focused on being condescending and telling people to drop out instead of helping people learn.
Dr. Dolan is a great teacher. Her lectures are interesting (notetaking is essential).and she gives out class exercises that help engage you with the material in a fun way. She is passionate about Archaeology and excited to spark that passion and develop it in her students. Highly recommended.
DON'T TAKE THIS PROFESSOR UNLESS YOUR WANT YOUR GPA TO PLUMMET! Dolan doesn't really care if you fail her class. It's clear she only teaches because she needs money. Unhelpful. You can't ask her questions or she gets mad. Expects perfect. She gave me an F on a whole essay for citing 1 source wrong. Don't know why someone so jaded and bitter teaches
Professor Dolan offers very little assistance or support in any way and when she does comment it is discouraging and tends toward sarcastic negativity. No other course was as frustrating in this regard and she somehow managed to make the platform of learning a hostile environment.
I personally enjoyed Professor Dolan's class very much, as she lectures in a concise manner and introduces a lot of interesting information. I do agree with others that this is a class that you have to earn your A- she does not expect little from you and expects you to commit yourself in class.
Study a lot for the quizzes and midterms because they are super tough. She is rude to you when you email her with questions. She approves your research paper but still make condescending comments. Modules are great and so is the material, but the comments are unnecessary. Will make you feel discouraged even if youre an A student who studies hard.
This is not an easy class so be prepared to put in some effort. The way she runs her class is a bit strict, but at the end of the day she is a really good teacher. She really knows what she is talking about and is always open for questions, especially during the labs. & try to get close with your lab partner! It helps having someone to study with
I'm taking her online class right now and all I can is if I fail this class, I'm DOOMED! Her exams are pretty tough. I hate the fact that she gives you so little time to take these exams and quizzes. An hour only to take a 72 question exam. Like seriously? Does she not know that most of us can't afford fast internet service? So not liking this clas
She does not care about her students at all. Don't waste your time. Pick a different class and professor!!! There are so many other science classes you will find more enjoyable. She will not work with you if you need help.
First of all, before I decided to take this Professor. I did read every comments from her past students. I didnt realize she was going to be this worst. I'm not sure if Im am passing or failing. She doesn't really care about her students. Please don't take this professor she is the worst professor i have ever taken. My GPA went down!
Im most likely going to get a D or fail this class and Im a straight A student dont get me wrong I thought maybe she was just a passionate teacher from reading previous comments but I now know she has no sympathy for her students at all and the tests and quizzes are tough and she doesnt give much time
Easy class but this teacher is something else, she treats her class like were in middle school. Locks the door right at start of class, not allowed to leave the class for bathrooms or to leave early, even if class ends early makes you sit and wait till a certain time. Dont take this class
Prof Dolan is coo but I hate the fact that she locks the door in the beginning of class so if you're late, you can't go in. There's a lab like every other week. She's a tough grader on the labs. She doesn't care if you get the answers wrong on the hw as long as it looks like you did it. Be prepared to write A LOT of notes.
Took ANTHR002 online with her. Did terrible. Exams are easy but not enough time to carefully review your answers. 10 question exams 10 minute time limit with no more than one attempt. Quizes open every sunday at 7PM and closes monday 7PM. Not an ideal online class as it is not flexible whatsoever and exam questions are taken from youtube videos.
Honestly before this semester this was the class that scared me the most. It is no easy class dont get me wrong its all about the effort. Dolan is always there for you in the labs and always open for questions and gives you all the resources you need to succeed. I got an A because I spent hours on hours studying. Thank you so much Dolan
The lectures are all through youtube and she does a good job explaining everything through her lectures. The quizzes open on Sunday at 7 p.m and close at 7 p.m monday. Your grade is based solely on quizzes and exams because thats all she gives for credit. The hardest part about this class was the time limit given for quizzes.
Please don't take this Professor! My GPA drop down to a 1.0. Her final is really hard and it doesn't really cover all the modules. Some of the final questions I have never heard of. She is a tough grader and has no sympathy towards her student.
Dolan gives great lectures through her video clips that I thoroughly enjoyed. Just make sure to watch all her video lectures and take notes then the quizzes and exams will be a breeze.
Dr. Dolan is an amazing professor. She is an expert in her subject and is always available by email for questions. Chapter quizzes are a breeze if you listen to the lecture and read the chapter. Midterm and Final exams are EXTREMELY difficult and require hours of preparation prior to taking exams. There are also 3 term paper assignments. Read+study
her online class is not a format conducive to learning unless your already bio heavy. also she is merciless.
She is extremely unfriendly and locks the door when class starts. Her tests and quizzes are extremely difficult and require hours upon hours of reading to successfully pass. The lab is gruesome and even if you put in the effort to complete it, it will receive a 0 if part of it is wrong. She does not do extra credit. I got an 89.7 (not curved).
Weekly modules weren't bad as stated above but midterms and finals included material not covered or spoken about in study guides. The term paper wasn't hard but the grading was strange and very snarky and rude. We weren't told that the grammar was more important than the Anthro material before grading.
Definitely not a class you can take and think youll easily pass. The quizzes and assignments arent bad, but the midterms are so heavily weighted that youll go from an A+ to a C- over night. No consideration for COVID and how it may have affected students. Dont take if you think its an easy A!
Her lab class has way more work and is more difficult than the regular class. This class is only 1 unit. She's extremely rude and expects you to write 3 essays for the final, but you only turn in one and she doesn't tell you which one until you open the test. She expects way too much for a 1 unit class. Definitely not worth the time or effort
