What you have to do to succeed is laid out really clearly. The one time I did contact her she was very courteous and helpful. The class was 8 weeks long and we had about 2-3 assignments a week. It mostly consisted of discussion posts and short answer responses in multiple choice tests. You really have to actively read the text. Great professor!

Professor Preziosi is by far the most entertaining professor I have ever had. The class was very difficult for me and I still got an A. She made the class understandable and broke things down in such a memorable way. Her personality is what made the class. Even if you don't like anthropology, take her! And the tests aren't terrible.

Loved taking Dr. Preziosi's class! She is by far the only teacher I will forever recommend to any student thinking about taking an Anthropology course. She keeps you interested in the lectures, she will always makes time to answer your questions and her tests are lecture/reading based. Like any other class, put the effort in and get a good grade!

I'm an A, sometimes B student. This class is super confusing. She doesn't release answers to wrong questions so you basically don't know if you were right or right wrong, nor did you learn from the question. This professor is truly hard, be careful.

Dr. Preziosi is phenomenal! Her online classes are well organized and assignments are not difficult if you follow the rubric. She is quick to respond to all messages and questions. If you do the work, there is no way to get anything lower than an A. Insightful discussions are utilized and you can really learn a lot! Love, love, love her!

I enjoyed this class! I always felt the "presence" of my professor next to me even though I'd never seen her!The excellently organized program! Writing the essays and answers to classmates' essays was a great idea! It seems to me that I visited the past and saw my ancestors! Thank you, Professor! Definitely, I'll take some more Anthropology class!

I took this class online for 8 weeks. This class was very textbook heavy, you must read the book to pass, you need the book for biweekly discussions and weekly test. she has a very clear grading criteria so she is very strict on turning assignments on time, late work is not accepted. Yes she does give extra credit if you do all of your work.

Lectures were always interesting, but her exams were extremely difficult. I made sure to read the chapters and study as much as possible for my exams, but I failed every single one! I was fortunate enough to receive an "A" for my grade on all of my writing assignments. I ultimately ended up with a "C" as my final grade as a result.

Extremely difficult professor who is not approachable. If you take this class make sure that it is the only class you take for your will need the time and energy. During 90% of the classes we watched videos which I do not really care for since it is my expectation to learn from a "live" person not to watch videos (I can do that on my own time).

Her class is composed of like 5 or 6 formal essays that have to be written in a way that she deems appropriate. Which is why I didn't do well on the 1st essay but got my grade back up after getting criticism. w/out the extra credit assignments I prob would have not gotten an A. My advice is do EXACTLY what she wants you to, nothing more nor less.

You won't pass this class without the required textbook. Each chapter lasts for two weeks, with one discussion due the first week and the test due the second. You need to be concise and descriptive with your answering because she looks for the little things when grading. There will be a research project, be sure to have a good topic for research.

I took this class in Summer of 2021, To be honest Anthropology is not a big favorite of mine. I just took it for a requirement to transfer. If you are planning to take her class, always do the work and even do the extra credit and then you'll pass. Also she doesn't grade stuff right away ��.

Professor Preziosi is amazing! Generous grader. Will sent out personal reminders if an assignment isn't completed. There is lots of reading but she gives you enough time to complete both your readings and assignments. Four discussions. Quizzes are weekly and she encourages you to use the book if needed. No midterm or Final.

Great choice. I am taking her in the eight week session and so far it is easy. All the assignments are open day 1. 12 quizes super easy. 6 discussions that you need to cite the book but they are not too hard. Two slightly longer writing assignments. That's it! You could finish the whole class in two weeks and easily get an A. Stand by on grading

So she was genuinely a great professor. I couldn't select it in the "tags" (since the max is 3), but she also gives AMAZING feedback, I wouldn't say "lots of homework," but a decent amount; as long as you follow the rubric, and do as it says, then boom, you'll get full marks. Always ready to help, and she's super kind, so I 100% recommend her.

The hard thing about this class is the reading; there is LOTS of reading BUT, if you ever have any questions, need more time for an assignment, possible extra credit, she does give you options and is genuinely a caring professor and wants you to succeed, but the grading is based of a few things so do those READ THE MATERIAL, and defo take her class

I didn't select her but rather the original professor backed out of the course. She is a tough grader and you must read ALL of the module pages for her criteria listed for the weekly discussions, which heavily counts towards your grade. Lots of research, outside sources, APA references, and module or chapter references required. Would not recommend

This professor is really good at knowing her material, however can be a tough grader. The work load is a lot if you do the 8 week course, about 2 20 question quizzes and at least a discussion post every week. I feel if you time yourself properly it's manageable, but you do need to stay on top of your work especially if you're wanting recieve an A.
