Great class and professor! Shes really funny and has great lectures. It would be hard to pass without coming to class though. Test consist of class materials, video lectures, vocab terms, articles, and stories in the text book (its not hard if you put effort) Other grades- quiz's, activities, and a few extra credit opportunity. Take her class!
Awesome prof. Her tests are a bit hard but nothing too crazy. If you go to class and study a bit before the tests, you should be OK. The activities she gives are awesome. The first week I was scared to stay in the class, but she makes it very interesting and I'm glad I stuck it out. Also, no final or midterm, just 3 tests spaced out evenly.
Great lectures, read textbook, pay attention to powerpoints
The work is straight forward. Only snag is the heavy reading, but it's more literary than scientific, so you just have to manage your time and memorize the terms. She's a cool teacher, and serious about her role, so she isn't lazy about grading or giving feedback. The workload is dense but grade-school level, and she works with you not against you.
Great professor. The material is very interesting and the assignments are enjoyable. As long as you show up to class and pay attention to lectures you will pass. She gives plenty of extra credit and keeps your on track with grading. If you have the opportunity take this course.
She's awesome! I took her cultural anthropology class this fall b and it was great! I learned a lot, she's a great professor who actually knows how to teach, whether you're a visual, audio, or kinesthetic learner. There were 3 pop quizzes that actually counted, more for extra credit, and three activity projects, some with a partner. Take her class!
I think she taught really well. Shes very nice. But her tests were kinda hard. I think she should have provided study guide or power points through the material. She had 3 activity's, 3 pop quizzes and 3 tests. LOADS of extra credit. Overall i would recommend her if you really want to work for this class, regarding tests.
Coming to class is important because there are pop quizzes and tests come from the PowerPoints presented in class. She is willing to work with you to get the grade you want
She gives lectures but doesn't post the PowerPoint online, so you have to pay attention in class. She's pretty funny and it makes it easier to remember a lot of topics
Show up more than i did and do your work and you'll be fine.
Tons of extra credit and an amazing professor. She makes everyone feel included. If you pay attention in class and do the assignments you will do well.
Very great professor! Really cares about students and helps to get students good grades with lots of extra credit. Would highly recommend!
Harder class than I was expecting. Tests are difficult, no study guides, she goes REALLY fast through her lectures, and doesn't post her PPTs on Canvas so if you miss something you miss it. 3 tests, 3 "pop" quizzes, and 3 essays. Attendance is important even though not required. Nice professor who cares about her students and also gives lots of EC!
She's hilarious and very energetic. Has a laid-back attitude and is generous. Gives good feedback on homework, quizzes, and tests. Provides a lot of extra credit. There are a lot of papers, lecture heavy, and several group projects.
I recommend this professor 100% to any student! She is amazing and gives loads of extra credit. If you're looking for an easy A she is your best bet! She is hilarious and her lectures are never boring. If I could take her again for another class I would in a heart beat.
Professor Laffey is a very good professor and very caring. Show up to class and pay attention to lectures and you will be fine. She gives plenty of extra credit so do the extra credit and you will be fine. There are activities that are given but they are not hard at all.
this professor really wants you to grasp the content of the course while making sure you enjoy it in the process. TONS of extra credit, but she does make you work for it. Overall wonderful person and I would take her again.
Great teacher, i was recommended by another student and would for sure recommend another student to take this class
Great professor .. Really helpful and very approachable inside and outside the classroom
Professor Laffey is deeply invested in her class and would love for her students to do the same. She has about 3 pop quizzes but aside from that the class has everything clearly written out. Study for exams and you'll be more than fine.
She is really funnny and makes you feel really comfortable talking about sex .She offers lots of extra credit so even if you dont pass a test you can still pass the class with a decent grade
This class was so easy! Even if you dont do well on the test she offers so much extra credit. I would definitely recommend !
Great Teacher! Gives a ton of extra credit opportunities. Lecture are most the class but she is a well spoken teacher. The book is required, but the only thing you need out of it is the vocab word. Beware you will have to travel for project in this class.
Shes great! Makes me happy to get out of bed every morning. And I have a total girl crush.
Overall she is a great professor. Attending class is mandatory since she doesnt put the lecture PowerPoint on canvas. She gives out a lot of extra credit so passing the class isnt that hard. Just make sure to study for the exams or you wont pass.
Absolutely wonderful! Plenty of extra credit all semester long. Had alot of assignents so not one thing weighted your whole grade. Good class fun. Shes nice. Doesnt post her power point lectures which are amazing just doesnt post them anywhere
She is my favorite professor I think Ive had so far!! Highly reccomend taking her class for a class that is so interesting, you ENJOY studying/doing hw. She is a super caring professor and also makes everyone more comfortable w a class about sex bc she is so funny!
Though you don't use the textbook much in this class, she only has her power-points in class and not online so coming to class is important. The tests aren't bad if you study the notes. She's super funny and offer tons of funny extra credit. Don't take this class if you're immature.
Professor laffey is great! She truly wants you to learn the material and puts a lot of value on making sure we understand. She offers tons of extra credit so if you are ever falling behind use it to your advantage! Overall assignments are entertaining & interesting. I totally recommend!
MRs. Laffey was a great professor, she taught well and her lectures were all pretty funny and made everyone feel comfortable even with the subject matter, the assignments were kinda fun. Some of the papers are a bit long but she gives quick and great feedback on all your assignments.
Ms. Laffey was an excellent teacher. I did bad on the first exam due to test anxiety and she offered to go over the test with me without me even asking her. She is very elaborate in her lectures and if you pay attention you will receive the exam answers. Overall, I would retake this class just to take in more information.
Professor Laffey really cares about her students. She lays out the goals and expectations of the class on day one and does a good job sticking to them. You'll have to work (3 essays, tests, occasional homework, and pop-quizzes) but she does give a lot of extra credit. Powerpoints aren't the best though and it's easy to miss stuff if not careful.
Professor Laffey's Human Sexuality and Culture course is an invaluable class which I feel every college student should take. You don't just focus on sex, you focus on life and self-awareness. The things you learn in this class can literally save your life.
A lot of PowerPoints and notes but not too bad. Difficult tests also
I didnt necessarily attend class every day, but still managed to keep track of everything and finish the semester with an A. Not too hard, she truly enjoys what she does and you can see that, she also really does want you to learn and care about your success.
really amazing professor. powerpoints arent on canvas but going to class is always entertaining, and if you have to miss class youll be able to get the notes from someone (sometimes from her). T O N S of extra credit. 3 papers throughout the class but theyre super engaging so you wont mind writing them. highly recommend this professor! 10/10
Professor Laffey was an amazing teacher. She is great at her job and is there for you when you need the help. She gives tons of extra credit opportunities. If you have a chance to take this class, don't hesitate. She makes an awkward class very interesting!
I can say that I will be walking out of this class with no more knowledge as when I walked in, and have even noticed multiple instances of incorrect terms, correlation, or general information. Homework has been either insulting or a waste of time and I have seen absolutely no reason for it. Some commentary has set me the wrong way, but that's me.
I could sit in this class all day and never get bored
Great lectures and lots of group quizzes and assignments but gives great feedback
She is an amazing teacher, you can tell she loves what she does. Great lectures and makes class interesting. Gives a lot of extra credit and test are pretty easy if you study. Not too much homework and really easy to contact.
Awesome teacher who cares about you passing!!
Take this class if you're actually interested in Anthropology! I very much enjoyed this class and believe I really did learn a lot of useful things. Shes a very respectful professor and wants you to pass.
Go to class! You'll miss out on so much for the exams if you don't. Notes literally can't replace her incredible teaching style. She's funny and interactive with relatable and memorable stories, passionate and knowledgeable, gives great extra credit opportunities, is understanding and grades fairly, encourages teamwork, and is overall so much fun.
Professor Laffey is one of the best professors I've had. She's funny and has a lot of knowledge and experience being an anthropologist. Class is very interesting, and not difficult as long as you pay attention to her lectures you will learn a lot. write good notes, she doesn't post her powerpoints. Exams based on lecture. Didn't need textbook
Hands down one of the best professors I've ever had. She is very passionate about what she teaches. It is almost impossible not to pass her class. She gives numerous amounts of extra credit and will work with you to get the grade you want. Definitely would take her again.
She was probably the coolest teacher I have ever had over at Santa Fe College. She was so nice and went into such depth with each chapter and lesson. The class itself is so interesting, and the assignments are awesome. The assignments and exams are slightly challenging but totally doable.
She was probably the best professor that i ever had in college! The classes were so interesting, she is very passionate about her field and explains everything in a very enthusiastic and entertaining way. There were 3 exams. For the final exam you get to take it with you so you can upload the answers later.
Best professor I have taken at SFC I absolutely love her! I love that she has a passion for anthropology and the environment she provides is great. She interacts with the students and explains anything clearly if you are stuck. You do have to pay attention and take notes if you want to pass. I would say her exams are heavily based on lectures.
Dr. Laffey was an absolute pleasure. She is clear about her expectations, follows the syllabus and gives plenty of opportunities for extra credit. Her lectures are insightful and enjoyable. She is very approachable and really cares about her students. Highly recommended!
She is amazing! Don't think twice about it, TAKE HER CLASS! SUPER EASY!!!!
Professor Laffey is amazing. She makes class fun and makes sure her students are engaged and participating throughout the lecture. She is so funny and goes in depth to make sure you really understand what you are learning about. Her assignments are fairly easy and exams can be tricky but very do-able. Would recommend her 100%!!!!
Ann Laffey is by far the greatest professor I've had at Santa Fe. Take her, you won't regret it!!
Dr. Laffey is one of the greatest professors I've ever had so far. I'm not someone who enjoys studying and putting forth maximum effort to pass, I just like to do what gets me by but the little effort I take in Dr. Laffey's class helps a lot. She's always willing to answer questions and takes the time out of her day to help students with grades.
Professor Laffey was hands down the best teacher I have had in college so far. She is very welcoming and teaches in a way that makes class so much fun. She is always willing to explain something further if you don't understand and prepares you for the exams. 10/10 would recommend taking her!!
I have nothing negative to say about prof Laffey. Her lectures are fun and animated to where you can retain knowledge and better understand the chapters. The only things is that when shes behind in grading and you turn something in late your grade is put in last. Although she gets it in eventually.
Theres a bunch of extra credit opportunities, 3 pop quizzes, 2 tests and a final, 3 papers that are 750 words but with interesting topics. Really enjoyed this class and would take her again for sure.
She is amazing. She is very clear about how to do the work and what she expects. As long as you do the work on time and read the chapters the class is easy.
She is the best!!! Her lectures are very interesting, her assignments are fun to do, and she gives a bunch of extra credit opportunities! If you need to take this class, definitely take it with her!
A lot of writing required for this class. The activities are ridiculous and a complete waste of time; they require others who don't take the class to do homework too. Lectures are fun, but very heavy. A lot of extra credit opportunities given in and out of class.
Honestly one of the best professors I have ever had. There is a lot of extra credit offered, but make sure you study definitions for the tests! You can tell that professor Laffey really loves the subject she teaches and she shows much enthusiasm for having you pass her class. 10/10, absolutely adored her.
I loved this professor, she was very intelligent, funny, and caring. She gives tons of extra credit and easy assignments that boost your grade. Only bad things is that she assigns papers/homework with only 1 weeks notice and some assignments require submitting selfies and interviewing people. She likes students who try/participate so don't be shy.
Ann Laffey's class was the most productive, thought-provoking, and influential out of all my classes this semester. Her teaching style is humorous but she knows how to appropriately handle the many serious topics in her class. She is always open to feedback and also discussion about the class material. Take this class, it's the best.
Professor Laffey is an incredible professor whom I had the honor having twice for an anthropology class and human sexuality class. She is fun and actually is helpful with the assignments given and communicates well with us. She is easy to contact (quicker in person), and offers a bunch of extra credit
Laffey is amazing! She is super easy going, if you do the work you will easily walk out with an A. I honestly learned a lot, her class is extremely entertaining.
Really sweet Professor. You use the textbook one time heavily and use it later for vocab. If you take really good notes on her power-point. STUDY and listen to her you will pass her exams. Extremely helpful, reachable, and makes things less awkward. Extra credit heavy class. Highly recommend doing the extra credit and assignments in advance.
Just do the work and review before the big tests and youll do fine. Lots of extra credit opportunities thatll boost your grade, do them and theyll help you a lot. Make sure to study STIs before the final
I took her in Fall 2018, and she was fantastic. She cares about your success and her classes are interesting. Although there is definitely a good amount of material to read, it isn't hard to get an A if you put in work and attend classes.
By analysing the course and the things she did for the class, she truly deserves a 5. I take my hat off with this proffesor. She was very friendly and understandable with her student. She comunicates well and make things clear for everyone. But if you don't understand, just ask her and she will repond.
Attendance is a must! she has a lot of assignments/papers which are given out in class. If you put forth the effort and partner up you will do well. The course information is too important not to take it. She has a great personality and is great with explanations and lectures. I hope to have her again.
Professor Laffey has been one of the best teachers I've ever had. I took her for Human Sexuality and she was very educated on the topic and made uncomfortable topics easy to learn. Her humor is the best. Attendance isn't mandatory but its highly recommended since she does participation credit just for showing up and doing the assignment. 10/10
She's just a really solid professor. She is engaging, passionate, caring, and she knows her stuff. She likes what she does, and she makes you like it. What's more, she gives a lot of extra credit. She may come off as a little intimidating at first, but trust me, she is so nice, and she is so good at getting the class involved and working with you.
Professor Laffey was one of my favorite professors I've had! Especially during this coronavirus situation, she was incredibly understanding and put full effort into her lectures on zoom. I genuinely enjoyed showing up to her class and I'm going to miss it when I transfer to UF.
One of the best professors I have ever had at Santa Fe College. She inspired me to actually start looking at careers in this field and truly see what it's like. Also, showing up to class is super important, so if you miss a day, good luck. Seriously consider this class if you are new to the general field of Anthropology. You won't regret it.
Love her! She is so passionate about Anthropology and it really translate to her teaching. Only one group project. Loads of extra credit! Just do the modules and you will pass her tests. There is also a book that she has us read that correlates to the material. There is an extra credit book club you can go to, to read the book and discuss chapters.
Best teacher gives extra credit and easy assignments just make sure you go to class.
Very good professor and great extra credit opportunities.
Professor Laffey is the hidden gem of Santa Fe! Her class was very informative/taught me a lot that I wasn't aware of before! She made learning enjoyable and I always looked forward to her class! She's super responsive and gives you plenty of feedback. Not only that but she is just an overall awesome human, I'll miss her class and her kind words!
Prof Laffey is really good. The class is super easy if you just do the work. There are small hw assignments (which are really easy) and then 3 tests I believe and extra credit. There is one project which is like a field project where you actually have to go and write a paper about. I failed one test and still came out with a B+.
I loved Professor Laffey, she was super funny, relaxed, and super smart. She knows what she's talking about and actually cares about what she's teaching. The material was attention-grabbing and beyond interesting. Everything we learned always got my mind racing with knowledge and fascination.
She is an amazing teacher! I believe that because human sexuality is an underappreciated subject that needs to be talked about, she creates a lot of assignments that capture the student's mind. I found her class fascinating, at least as a psych major.
She was such a great teacher, she is super nice and sweet and funny too. I would definitely take her again. Her class is easy but eventually gives a lot of work but she is understanding and really cares about you. Her work isnt complicated and does everything to make sure that we understand what shes teaching.
Very nice and respected professor! No final exam, just a bunch of little tests each week that are easy if you pay attention and do the work. Only one big essay and she prepares you very well. Lots of lectures and extra credit. There are different activities each week that are really interesting if you want to learn about human sex. Take this class
Easy A. I skipped over half the lectures and have a high A. Open book tests, lots of assignments but they're very easy. One big essay which sucked. Never responded to my emails but whatever, and seemed disorganized sometimes. Wish I knew how personal this class would get before I took it, some assignments are uncomfortable and I felt misinformed.
Professor Laffey was great. She's really funny and not afraid to call things out or speak her mind. There is a lot of work, but nothing insanely difficult. Show up to lectures and read the material and you'll be fine on quizzes. She made the course super interesting and fun.
Her class was very captivating and super easy. I enjoyed all her assignments. She does give many quizzes and class discussions each week. The only thing I despised was this very long essay that is honestly not necessary for her class. She offers many extra credit and it helps. She's funny though, and responds back usually in less than 24 hours.
Professor Laffey is very energetic and makes her class a very inclusive environment. There are a lot of group discussion and group projects so participation matters. She's very caring and wants her students to succeed.
I appreciate her teaching style, she is a great lecturer. Other aspect of the online course were not well organized. Posting of recorded zoom lectures were inconsistent at best. Assignments take forever to be graded and are art-heavy, so keep that in mind if not a fan of that. Decent amount of questions on the exams are graded wrong as well.
This class was awful if you dont have to take do not take it then. This class was so weird and boring. The GELO paper was a discussing topic we had to write about. The work she assigns is not clear instructions. this class made me very uncomfortable. I WOULD NEVER TAKE AGIN DONT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID.
DO NOT TAKE ANY OF HER ANTHROPOLOGY CLASSES!!! PROF. ANN IS EXTREMELY NICE AND CARING BUT GIVES A TON OF HOMEWORK PROJECTS AND GELO PAPERS FOR NO REASON!!! HER CLASS ISNT EVEN IMPORTANT AND SHE TREATS IT AS IF ITS AN ENC CLASS. TERRIBLE COURSE AND TERRIBLE CLASS TO TAKE. WORST MISTAKE I MADE WAS CHOOSING THIS LADY, MOST ANNOYING VOICE AND CLASS
The lectures she gave were great. I will agree that the class was overall disorganized, unfortunately. The GELO assignment was not hard to complete. She gave everybody numerous warnings about turning it in on time - the rubric laid it out well, too. The other assignments can be overwhelming if you are not an artistically creative person (I'm not).
She is such a great person and professor!! Really cares about her students and enjoyed her class! I would hightly recommend her!! Love her extra credit!
Laffey is an amazing professor. Her human sexuality class is unbiased and offers a worldly view of the topic. She gives TONS of extra credit; you would have to not participate or turn in assignments to fail. Her class is easy, fun, and enticing. You will learn so many new things and have conversations that would typically be taboo.
Professor Laffey is an exceptional teacher. Her assignments and tests are straight forward and her lectures are easy to follow. Not to mention she is incredibly nice, funny, and genuinely cares about your success and well being. Highly recommend!
I love Ann! Definitely tied for my favorite professor. She gives TONS of extra credit for showing up to class and participating. And if you don't understand a topic or want to learn more she is eager to help. Even when I turned assignments in late she still gave me full credit. I passed with more than a 100% and it was so easy!
She is a wonderful professor! I took her for general anthropology and loved it. Her classes are fun and entertaining, if you enjoy anthropology, and the work is not hard and quizzes are easy enough if you pay attention. She is also so sweet and caring for her students. Definitely recommend her and this class!
Professor Laffey has lots of insight into the field of anthropology and I would take her class again; however, I feel there was too much homework without much announcement and it became too much for most of the students in her class. Attendance is not mandatory but it would be difficult not having in class notes for tests and homework.
I took her honors course and it was fairly simple, there is a clear critirea and she will give you full creative liberty on every project. There are 3 main projects but they are very easy to do. She is super caring and if you need help or to push back a deadline she will do everything she can to help. If you can, absolutely take her course!
I took her Human Sexuality class in the Spring 2022, and I absolutely loved it. I was extremely intimidated at first because she's very interactive with the class but I got used to it. She was very honest, easy-going, and fun. She had a great personality and I will be taking her again in the Fall. Loved her! Do expect a lot of assignments though!
Professor Laffey was ABSOLUTELY the best of the best professors I have taken, if she taught any other courses for my degree, I would take her over and over and over again. I wish I was exaggerating. She's overly nice and cares about her students. Do you have an issue? Go to her, she will HELP you find a solution. Take her, you won't regret it.
I took professor Laffey's Human Sexuality class in Spring of 2022 and I absolutely loved her as a professor. I was a bit intimidated by her at first because she is very interactive and honest but I grew to love her. She made her class feel like it was a safe environment.
Professor Laffey was an AMAZING professor. She cares about her students so much and about you succeeding in her class. Her grading criteria is very clear and easy and she gives so many extra credit opportunities. She has been one of the best professors I have ever taken at Santa Fe. If you are thinking about taking her do it!!
Would consistently miss class, work heavy, doesn't teach you (you literally have to teach yourself), said attendance isn't mandatory but would not post notes and would have attendance grades. Would put in grades super late and had many exams. If you're into that take her, but personally I say stay away cause it's a waste of money.
This is my second class with Laffey, she's an awesome lecturer and very understanding. She can be a bit disorganized and take a while to grade things, but the bright side of that is she's fairly forgiving with late work (as long as its not like more than a month) and while attendance isnt counted i still highly recommend showing up for lectures
Extremely considerate and very kind. Always has a smile on her face. I would absolutely recommend her!
the nicest lady ever and structured lecture and class discussion in a way that forces you to think. also pass/fail so if you do the work youre good to go
By far my favorite professor Ive taken at santa fe. Such a sweetheart and thoroughly cares for her students. Attendance isnt mandatory but she gives a lot of extra credit during class. Her lectures are hilarious and laid back. She doesn't take any points off for late submissions!!
Really funny, great professor. Class is VERY heavy on assignments, lots of additional extra credit assignments, especially if going to class. Lots of group and participation activities as well. She does not grade hard, however, and there are lots of opportunities for self-expression & creativity.
