really boring but easy.

Good teacher. Her class requires some hard work, but it is worth it. She is very helpful and kind. I enjoyed both of her anthro. classes.

fair teacher, many extra credit chances

Very clear, great teacher. Tests can be difficult, but other assignments are easy, and extra credit opportunities are given. Highly recommend.

She is a very good teacher hard but fair. If you are looking for a free ride drop, to pass you must come to class and read the book. Her class is not imposible but challenging. Her test are hard but their are ex. credit chances so the "A" is not

Ok teacher,anthro 11 kinda hard though.

Interesting lectures. She gives study guides for all her tests. For the anthro 2 honors class, there are three article reviews which are really simple to complete (yet annoying) and a research paper (a bit challenging). Great teacher!

This class was easy to a point. Some of the names of things were hard and really long but she tries to really repeat herself so that you will really understand. She is a great teacher though and her tests are exactly what she puts on her study guides.

seems to be very gullable but not to be taken for a fool, she knows what she is doing

I though her class was easy but I hear the honors class is a lot harder. She is really nice and helpful and I really enjoyed her class!

She is a very good teacher and very clear. She gives you a study guide for the test so you know what is on it. There is barely any extra credit but if you go over the chapter well enough you should get a good grade. Her lectures are very interesting.

Her lectures are very interesting and helpful.

Very interesting class but tough. Make sure you do all your reading and study hard for the tests. You need to know EVERYTHING. I really enjoyed the class and she drops your lowest test score so that definitely helps out (I got a C on one test, dropped it, got an A in the class).

I Thought she was a great teacher, she knows her subject very well but the tests arn't easy the quizzes are though.

Make sure to read what she expects you to read, even though she might not go over it in class, it'll be on the tests.

Shes so hot!! Dirty thoughts all day in class. But yeah its an easy A if you take notes and study 15 min. before the tests.

Very informative professor. The lectures and cool, and the way she presents the material is excellent. Yeah, the tests and quizzes are tough, but it' sa challege to get good grades. (oh...yeah, she's hot!)

HOTTT

Mrs. Mannen is a professional instructor. If you take good note, read the material and pay attention, you should be able to do well in the course. I got "A's" in all three courses. Good luck...

I don't know about you guys, but for me Ms. Mannen is a great prof!I took my honors class with her and I got an A. Her exams are hard, yes, but it gets predictable once u go on with the semester. Don't rely on her study guide, study the text instead! And exams are only 50% of the grade, there's a lo

Great teacher, bda subject. Plan on taking her ant 1 class next semester.

I thought that she was a wonderful teacher. I thought over all with some effort (because this is college) her test were easy. I did not think she was snoby or anything like that, only nice. I also thought she had a lot of knowledge in anthro.

She was a fantastic teacher. She is a little tough but if you go to class and read the material as well as study you will do fine! I got A's in both of the classes I took with her, and they weren't that hard to get!!

I took her in Summer 2003. She lectures well and she is enthusiastic. There are a lot of questions on her exam that take a lot of brain power to analyze and to process and examine.

She is a very nice teacher. I liked her test, which did not seemed hard for me at all. I got a B in her class with little effort. Her test are based on the text and her lectures.

Can go either way really, class could be really boring or filled with discussion and energetic. Has a pretty good knowledge of the subject but can be stumped by questions every now and then. Offered LOTS of extra cedit. Tests are pretty much all from the book, read the chapters and you'll be fine. Was very nice, not stuck up at all

This was a great and very culturally enriching class. Angela was a great teacher. The lectures were boring but could be helpful for tests. The class can easily be passed if the proper amount of effort is put forth.

She is a great teacher! You have to really pay attention in class but if you do that you will learn a lot from her. Trust me, she knows what she is talking about! A hint for the tests, review each point on the study guide she gives you and you will be fine!

This teacher is AWESOME! She hands out a studyguide and she tests on that and her lectures. Easy to earn an A if you take notes and use her studyguide. And she is very pretty and speaks clearly!

great teacher. tests are hard though so you have to read everything in the book since she doesn't give out any hw.

This class is pretty easy. All you gotta do is just listen to her lecture and get pretty good grades on her tests even though they are pretty long. Cause its not like she gives out any homework or anything.If youre dumb, you'll fail. If you do what you're suppose to do then you'll be fine.

she's a cool teacher but the tests are kinda hard and very long

She is a great person and very sweet and has alot to teach but her classes are just too boring. The tests are too hard and she needs to lecture less and teach more. but She does know what she is talking about and if u are a great studyier then u'll do well.

She is a great teacher, she knows her stuff and her tests are multiple choice so they aren't that hard. If you go to class and take good notes, you should easily get a good grade.

Inspirational teacher. You really should take this class. Tests are multiple choice. Extra credit is available. And she really knows her stuff. Really interesting subject material. Can't recommend her enough.

A great teacehr! Really enjoyed her class. If you go to class, take notes, and read the book, you will do fine. I got three A's from her just by doing that. If you are looking for an easy course, then you should take someone else. Her lectures can be kind of boring in the cultural classes, but this mey be becasue I'm not a fan of Cultural Anthro...

Great teacher! She was also really nice. Gives practically no HW. Tests are a little difficult but they are multiple choice. She definitely loves what she does. Also, she tends to lecture off powerpoint, but the information is still really interesting.

she's very sincere and helpful

Angela is a very sweet lady I was scared to take her class because of some ratings I saw on here but after taking it I found it was not that bad. She is a great teacher and gives a decent ammount of extra credit, even drops your lowest test score. Very good on explaining things as long as you keep it related to class material! (to the guy below me)

Shes hot, shes funny, shes nice and she speaks loud. Her teaching is boring. Its like listening to a 1hr long audio book, and then maybe a 20 minute video about what she just talked about. She also is very robotic like (One. Word. At. A. Time.), then she writes what she just said on the board. Read the book. She gives very helpful study guides.

Took her for honors and wasn't that bad. Just pay attention in class, take notes, do well on her article reviews, do the extra credit, and you'll do fine. I hardly read the book but paid attention in class and took notes and got an A. She was nice and peppy.

this is a very inteesting class to take, but she is a sticklier for attendance and tardiness. as long as you attend class and take okak notes the test are easy. the bok is easy to understand and she gives excellent study guides.

Prof.Mannen is very nice, however her lecture is pretty boring and the exams are hard. If many students don't get good grades, she doesn't try to find a way out. most of the time she is behind her schedule so that the students have to read the materials their own.i think not many people get A in her class...most of them are B and C...

I took the honors class. It wasnt that bad. The class was set up so that you take 3 tests, and she drops the lowest. 3 Article reviews. One ethnography paper worth 100 pts, and the final. The tests are somewhat confusing, based on book + lectures. She is a fair grader, and a fun person, but her lectures are super boring. I wanted to fall asleep.

Great teacher. Class was easy, tests were based on study guides she gave out, no take-home work other than some extra credit and studying for tests.

never read the book and got a B in the class. just take notes and study them and you should pass. she gives study guides before every test so its not that hard

She's really nice. Take down notes in lecture and your own notes from the book. Participate in class. Helpful study guide, but be sure to READ the book!

tests are easy if you read the book and come to class. so hot you can't help but pay attention

I would have gotten an a but she was just so hot i would just look at her and not listen to what she was saying

Mannen is not as hard as everyone is making her seem. You obviously have to study, but her class is very interesting and she gives you helpeful study guides. Basically, read and use the study guide guarantees you an A.

Subject of Anthropology in general is boring. I loathed going to class basicly everything you need to know is in the text book she just goes over it class. just read the book on your time and youll do fine. but i gotta warn you ITS SOOO BORING!!!!

She's ok, i mean she's hot and all that, but her teaching could've been better. She teaches her stuff, but sometimes she tends to over do it. She can talk about one concept and use up too much time and tries to summarize all the other stuff you need in less than 2 minutes... She doesn't manage time very well. You need to read the book!

mannen is pretty chill & real easy to talk to. you just have to be serious bout her class to pass. it's not that hard, but if you read the book & study then you'll be fine. she gives extra credit too.

Great professor. Take this class! learned and liked a subject I had no interest in. Read and take notes to get an A. All it takes is a little effort, showing up, and participating. I did not find the class boring those who do probably just don't care about their education.

Many extra credits!

its four tests drops one, then finals worth double, plus two assignments, ex. cred., her tests arent that hard dont just study terms but read between the lines..her current event and essay arent hard at all stright from book, nothing to research..i got an A,shes a little stern but not over the top.and shes pretty

Ms. Mannen is odd. She has this chipper attitude but approach her to ask to catch up on what you've missed and she suddenly becomes stern and coldly tells you to ask someone in class for notes and information. Outside of that odd flaw, the class is standard fare. I yawn quite often because it's just writing down notes from a presentation. Take her.

To me she was a nice teacher, loves to make jokes, you can't be late for class, more then three lates you can't do extra cedit. Her lectures arent just general topics, but you MUST read the book and study guide.

THE REAL DEAL: she's nice, to everyone, she's cool, if you do your work, your not absent, and when you are absent you ask a CLASSMATE like the syllabus says then you won't have a problem and you'll most likely get at least a B. She's nice to both males and FEMALES, despite what some people think, i'm a chick and we got along just fine. she's really

nice, ask questions if you don't understand something, she won't bite your head off. I took her for Anthro 1 & 2, she does teach 2 better, i believe she's more passionate about it than 1, i took 1 during the winter, with a class full of ppl who acted like they were in middle school, and she was a lot more patient than most professors would've been

as a person, shes nice. but her class is difficult. lecture is all based on the book so read and do the study guide questions she gives you. tests are based on study guide q's. shes kind of confusing but offers lots of help outside of class. overall shes not a bad teacher to take.

all i gotta say is she is fine. her class is whatever. hard. just study and ur straight.

She is nice and helpful, but her class is very hard. When I took her class, only 1 or 2 student got A on each exam. Do not take her class if you are international student!!

Prof. Mannen is extremely passionate about Anthropology. This class is Women in Culture and Society, which talks about both men and women. She is strict about attendance and takes roll right on time. After 4 tardies, NO extra credit. READ the book and take notes from slides, and you'll be fine. She has a tendency to rephrase questions.

I took anthro 11. this class is super easy, all you have to do is read the book. don't even bother paying attention in class or taking notes from the slides. its all in the book

You actually should take the notes from her powerpoints and in class because most of the test is on that..but it is an easy class. She is passionate about her work and is fair. Just do your work, Take Notes, and read the book and you'll do fine.

Great teacher! Her lectures are very interesting and fun. Her assignments are easy and she is very helpful. I would definitely reccomend taking this class!

I think she is a great teacher. The comments that others have said do not make that much sense. She offers so much extra credit & if you just listen to her lectures and pay attention in class, you are very likely to end up with an A in the class.

Mannen is a great teacher, she knows exactly what she's teaching and passionate about it. She's helpful, and willing to help you if you ask. She is very cheesy at times, however I'm not going to lie, but her voice is soothing, sort of made me want to fall asleep in class. Other than that, she's a great teacher.

Her test are crazy hard but the lectures are great. You have to study hard, so don't take this class if you are expecting an easy A. Overall, Good teacher

I took her twice, simply because I was accustomed to her assignments. Both classes were super boring since she talks at the class and rarely dialogues with it. Sometimes she'll even go the whole hour and a half without any conversation with the students, so drink a monster or some coffee. But that doesn't detract from the topics, which are very interesting. In both classes we had 4 multiple choice tests, 3 of which had 75 questions, and the final which was 100 questions, 2 essay assignments and a simple contract assignment (a paper you fill out promising to follow rules, and showing that you read the syllabus). It's an easy "A" if you read the book. If you take tests based on what she taught you during lectures or what you saw in videos, you'll get a "B" or "C."

Have to read and do the study guide to pass. Attendance is mandatory. Very interesting class. Hot professor. She takes a while to grade ur work sometimes. take her

enjoyed the class, she is pretty funny sometimes the lectures are interesting as are her stories. 4 multiple choice tests (lowest grade dropped) 1 final. all you need to do is answer all the study guide questions and you will be absolutely fine. the book is easy to read/understand. RECOMMEND.

I took her for anthro 9 women culture/society. Easy class just due all the reading and the extra credit she assigns. You should be able to pass with atleast a B.

Tough but fair. Easy reading. Gives study guide. Uses syllabus extensively. Passionate. I recommend her highly. Even slept through part of the lectures Still got an A...

Kept what could have been a dull class interesting. Easy reading, but you need to read her test questions CAREFULLY, Not all material is in the text. Lots of video notes on primates. Loved it. Changing my major...

awesome proff. i took anth 6 and anth 1! class tests are 75 questions, you do need to study, but she is very helpful!! awesome lectures!

All you have to do to pass her tests is read the book. Study guides and lectures don't really help. Boring lectures but provides extra credit. If you read the book its an easy A.

I really liked Professor Mannen! She was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the material. Her tests were fairly easy to pass as long as you payed attention in class and reviewed the textbook/study guides. She also gives extra credit!

In this anthropology online course, there were a lot of modules with plenty of material to read as well as videos to watch. The tests are from the textbook as well as the online modules. There were also a few discussions and an essay. Overall, this was a fine course, and I learned about different world cultures in a new perspective.

If you're looking for an easy A, turn back now. Well it is not that crazy but unless you're very good at reading a textbook word for word paying attention to every little detail, then the class will be hard. It is 4 75 question exams + a final. You get to drop your lowest scores. Half the class has dropped so far. However, she is definitely nice.

Had her for online and not going to lie, enjoyed the class very much. I think this is one of those classes that would be better for a lecture, saying that I enjoyed this class and found it pretty easy. Just read the notes provided and if you care for it, read the book. Make sure you do everything on time and you should be good.

Professor Mannen 's powerpoints and modules were very helpful. The weekly discussions helped in becoming more engaged. Eveything to expect in the class was layed out clearly on the syllabus. She is a tough grader but would also give alot of feedback and explained why your response could have gotten a better grade so you would know for the future.

Professor Mannen is extremely helpful, nice, and passionate about the subject of anthropology. It's inspiring, really. The class wasn't too difficult, the homework is reasonable and the tests are fair. The textbook will help significantly with tests. I plan to take her again soon. Only complaint was the class got a bit disorganized near the end.

Mannen is great! 3 exams (1 drop) + final exam, 2 group projects, current event essay, & a few easy assignments. READ the book (it's a must!) in conjunction with the study guide, attend lecture and take notes, and you will do well on all of the exams. The material is interesting and this was a really enjoyable class. Read and you'll do well!

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

If you're interested in taking an amazing college level course with a great professor this is a great one. Super interesting.

Easy but you need to put in work to pass.

Liked her class and her lectures. Short and interesting. You read a lot and her lectures are on her tests. Make sure to READ the textbook and you will PASS. You get graded on your tests and GROUP projects mostly, but there is one final research project that weighs a lot on your grades. It was an interesting class filled with interesting people...

Although I was a bit hesitant because of the past reviews, I do not regret taking this course rather one of the best courses I have taken so far. Professor mannen replies to emails quickly. She is willing to help by any means possible. There were four group discussions, 5 exams, and 4 parts to the semester projects which are all clear and doable!!

Overall she does care about her students. 7 discussions post drops 2 and 4 exams drops the lowest grade. Just say attention and do exactly what she wants you to do and you'll pass. Her test are pretty heavy and you really have to read her notes to pass her test.

I like the topic but no open books for exams so be prepared to commit the material to memory. Has innumerable embedded materials/videos + textbook. The tough part is coming up w/ unique in-line citations & responses for other students' work. Hard enough doing my own work. Very rigid. Exams are strenuous & monitored. Info overload but learned a lot

She lectures well the material is just boring. You do teamworks every week for hybrid class and then work on a semester project couple time a semester. Easy work Just boring material.
