Excellent teacher. All about hands-on knowledge and experience. Most classes involve watching videos and documentaries. She loves in-class group projects. We play-acted "Feeding Desire" by R. Popenoe. A lot of reading. You have to understand material, not just memorize, to do well on tests. Unusual, interesting, esp if you like other cultures.

Enthusiastic and friendly. Exams questions were sometimes just worded extremely weird and a little too detailed. Lots of reading! Loved her as a person though.

Dr. Greene is very enthusiastic about what she teaches, which makes the class more enjoyable. If you go to lectures and read the assignments tests aren't bad, just wordy. If you are interested in the class you should make a point to talk to her, she is a pleasure to have a conversation with.

She's...okay. Nice lady, and enthusiastic about what she teaches and that's always a plus in a professor but if anthropology isn't your thing then she can be long-winded. Likes to guilt trip students for not doing well on tests or not coming to office hours

She is SO nice. This class could be very boring-she makes it worth going to. I felt like a more well rouned person after taking her class.

She is an awesome enthusiastic professor! We watched a lot of documentaries during class, but it was a lot of reading. Tests usually weren't bad though. This class is the reason I chose ant. as my minor.

Professor Greene is a great teacher. She makes things entertaining, including youtube videos, documentaries and skits. Definitely do the assigned reading and you'll be fine. Her tests are multiple choice too.

She's very quirky, that's probably the best way to describe her. The class isn't that hard--I didn't put much effort into it and will probably make a B, but I also didn't buy 2 of the 3 required. Buy Feeding Desire, you WILL need it. You can probably get away with not buying the others, though.

She's very quirky. This class covers such a vast spance of material. If you're looking for an easy A don't bother here. I worked quite hard just to get an A-, 2 major projects and 3 tests. But the good news is you can skip class and do okay because it is such a book heavy course!

An excellent teacher. Works hard to give her students the best feedback. No official textbook to buy which saved me money. If you actually put forth effort, you'll get a good grade in this class, have fun, and learn something new. Highly recommended.

She is funny and nice. She only has 2 projects and 3 tests. Her tests are all multiple choice, but they are by no means easy. She really thinks this is the only class the students are in. TOO MUCH READING. She doesn't change her tests, if you have a friend who took the class, get the tests from them. She takes a long time to grade projects too.

Definitely an amazing professor! Her tests are easy as long as you read. There is a lot of reading but it's interesting. She's an easy grader on projects and gives extra credit several times during the semester. Her lectures are super interesting if you like social issues, politics, etc. I would definitely recommend taking the class w/ her.

Dr. Greene is a great professor! She assigns a lot of readings but just expects you to get the main points not memorize every detail. She grades easy on the projects and offers extra credit opportunities. The tests are very detailed but if you pay attention to the material from the chapters, readings and films (I know it sounds hard) it's easy.

She's really nice, and she has a lot of cool stories about her field work which are relevant to her tests. You will need to read the textbook, and the supplemental readings right before a test in order to do well. Participation isn't graded, but she really tries to get people engaged! Didn't need to take notes really, powerpoints are very wordy.

Professor Greene does a lot of lecturing and PowerPoints but she keeps them interesting by mixing in her own experiences from traveling and doing her own ethnographic fieldwork. Her stories are great and she makes it fun to learn about other cultures! But do the readings! (And yes I mean all of them!)

Many extra credit opportunities. Read and you will succeed. Not much work.

Dr. Greene is a very quirky lady. You can tell she really does care about the class. She gave us numerous extra credit opportunities and had review sessions before every test. She really made an effort to teach the class well and I have been recommending her to others to take. Just put a good amount of effort in and you will get an A+.

She's a little crazy but I didn't pay attention in class at ALL and did all my readings a few days before the test and got A's. The group projects are annoying but graded lightly. She's squirrely but caring and understanding (will extend stuff). The readings are needed. Find her told tests even though she says she changes them (she doesn't really)

Alison Greene is one of the sweetest teachers I have ever met, and she has so much passion for her material. At times she can be a bit preachy (and at other times inaccurate) about social issues facing many cultures, but she cares for every student and will always help. Tests are ace-able with minimal studying in my experience.

I really Liked Dr. Greene. I am a STEM major and I felt that she was very kind and caring to the students outside of the ANT major. I felt that there was a lot of information in the books that straight up went over in class. So, really if you listen to her in class you have minimal reading, although she does assign reading for each class.

Greene is a very sweet teacher and I really enjoyed her class. Just be ready to read and work on group projects. Group projects aren't hard, but are time consuming. Exams are not hard, but you do have to memorize maps (w/o word banks; just a blank map). Greene will do all she can to help you succeed if you give the effort!

Dr. Greene is wonderful. She has a very interesting personality which makes it much more enjoyable to come to class. The work is reasonable and she is very understanding of the individual circumstances that her students may have going on. I highly recommend her!

Lectures for most of the class and the rest of the time is for graded discussions. Requires you to read a lot and watch documentaries. Tests include everything from the articles, documentaries, textbook chapters and lectures so if you don't pay attention or don't read you won't pass. Professor is very sweet and this class is fun if you engage.

Professor Greene is a sweet &caring woman who is very passionate about her work & her class. She wants her students to succeed. There is a decent amount of reading & all the readings listed ARE on the exams and arent always discussed in class so make sure you look over all the material. A few projects - all are more time consuming than hard overall

Dr. Greene is very passionate about what she teaches, but there are a lot of readings required. For this class, there was three ethnographic books, the textbook, and a couple other readings that all students must read in order to be prepped for the tests. Her lectures are interesting and the discussion of the readings help, overall a fun class.

I really liked Dr. Greene! She was always upbeat for class and knows what she's talking about. She answers emails quickly as well, and is a rather fair/easy grader on projects/essays. Her tests are rather heavy, with it being based on all textbooks/videos/readings that we had, but she provides good extra credit and projects/papers to make up.

Professor Greene was energetic and passionate about anthropology. 3 BIG projects in her class. Grades fair on them. Exams are hard because she tests you on textbooks/videos/readings that we had. She provided extra credit if you attended her showing of TIMBUKTU during the semester. I would create a group chat with those around you for extra help.

Dr. Greene is enthusiastic about teaching this class and can get a little behind in lectures because of it. All of the class was basically taking notes the whole time. LOTS of reading outside of class for weekly homework grades. Tests aren't that bad because she gives study guides and there are lots of quizlets out there.

Dr. Greene is so kind and compassionate. There is lots of reading (an ethnography, textbook, and PDFs) and required films but the class is very interesting. If you think something was graded unfairly, reach out because chances are she will revise her grading. She's very accessible and understanding. Take her if you're an anthro major!

She is a really sweet lady, and cares about her job. She tells great stories. The class is heavy on reading, but it is not a difficult class. The exams are a little challenging.

I have mixed feelings on Dr. Greene's classes. She is a very nice woman and very caring but also very disorganized. This class is also driven by reading and group discussion, which is not the best way for me to learn. There are lots of readings and assignments, but I learned quite a bit. Only take if you are interested in the topic.

Great professor good lectures the test are on quizlet and coursehero so just look them up the night before she has a lot of reading but I did none of it and ended with a 99 just pay attention in class when she is talking about what you where supposed to read and follow the rubric exactly for essay and projects and you will end with an A

Very interesting lectures and coursework is not difficult, Dr. Greene is nice and tells many stories about her fieldwork. She is actually passionate about the things she teaches.

She's nice, but she expects too much of us for what should be an easy class (it's a pre-requisite). There are 4 books, ~10 films, discussion posts every week, 3 tests, and 3 essays, plus a 30+ slide project and a presentation on a reading or film. It's a lot to do, and she doesn't like to give out 100s for doing the work. But she does care about us

Dr. Greene is the most enthusiastic, kind-hearted professor. You can tell she is passionate about anthropology. She assigns lots of readings (most of which you can get away with not reading), but the tests/classwork aren't too tricky. Study and understand the main ideas. She wants to work with you. Go to her office hours and ask questions in class!

Dr. Greene was a great professor and I loved how enthusiastic she was and the stories she shared. This was my first anthropology class at NCSU and it honestly made me really enjoy the subject. Make sure you keep up with inquizitives but she is not a harsh grader and overall a great professor if you can take her

She's very nice and the class was generally fairly easy as long as you kept up with it and did the work, which wasn't really that much. The lectures go on for a bit too long sometimes, but it's normally a pretty good class to go to.

Dr. Greene is SO SWEET! She is really passionate about anthropology and has fun stories! However, if you are taking ANT 252 for a GEP credit, just know that it was A LOT of work. There is reading to complete before every class but I never did any of it and ended up with an A. If you don't do the reading, you def need to study it before tests.

Dr. Greene is super kind and understanding, very sweet professor. Her class involves more reading than other classes but its bc shes super passionate abt the subject. tests are based on everything covered in class. gives extra credit. projects are very leniently graded. overall easy A if you put in work to understand material.

Dr. Green is an amazing and passionate professor. The exams can be pretty difficult but the rest of the class is pretty straightforward. Take her if you can, especially if you are interested in anthropology.

Dr. Greene is passionate but that means she loves to elaborate so we were always behind. You follow the chapters of the textbook with extra readings, you can probably get by without too much reading but there are group forums where you discuss the reading and it is graded. 3 projects: a kinship tree, a book report, a group project. 3 exams total

Enthusiastic lectures that I really enjoyed; Greene cares a lot, has evident passion, and is willing to help. Exams are quite difficult-- still did well with in-depth studying and review. Papers/projects are fairly graded. Discussion boards relatively often, maybe once a week, but you work with others on them.

Greene is wonderfully caring and contagiously enthusiastic. I loved her passion. Lectures can be a bit drawn out and there is a LOT of reading, but the information is generally quite interesting. Exams are really detailed and pulled straight from the readings and presentations. 3 projects but they're rather simple and fairly graded.

She is very passionate about what she does and very quirky but it's funny and entertaining in my opinion. She assigns a lot of readings but doesn't really care too much if you didn't read them but the material will be on tests. Tests are easy if you do the work. There is a good bit of homework but she gives plenty of time to complete.

Professor Greene is very passionate about what she does, but that often leads to her going on long tangents in class. There is a ton of content to cover in this class, so it is hard to find what to study when reviewing. Projects definitely saved my grade, as even though the exams are all multiple choice, I found them pretty difficult.

There are a ton of readings but are not necessary for a passing grade. If you put a fair amount of effort in, you'll pass with a good grade. If you don't put effort in you won't. I would recommend going to most classes, but this is a class that can be missed SOMETIMES.

I took this class online and was 5-weeks. I don't think you should take it 5-weeks because there is a lot of information you need to remember but the information we learned was interesting enough. You don't have to read every article that she assigns (I didn't) but you can skim it. She's passionate and gives extra credit.

I loved Mrs. Greene as a person; she was very kind and forgiving about absences. Her class however... there are two textbooks as well as online "Inquizzatives", the exams expect you to know an obscene amount of information about everything, and her lectures are PACKED with information, so you don't know what's important. The projects save you.

Passionate about teaching anthropology in ways that apply to real-life problems, and cares about her students. Assigns a lot of additional readings + film clips, but you just need to skim through them and understand the point of those sources, since she references them in test questions. The projects are easy, but definitely study for the tests.

Professor Greene is a very nice person and is kind of quirky. The class is graded on group projects, discussion forums, and tests. Everything is easy except for the tests, it feels impossible to know all the information that is on the tests. You have to actually do your homework, read the textbook, read the articles, and watch the films.
