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.

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.

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!

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.

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 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.

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).

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.

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
