Barbara Jones changed my life. She is insightful, enthusiastic, clear and very organized. It is amazing to see how much you can improve in other areas of your life by taking a class with her. She isn't the easiest of teachers, but certainly one of the best. Thanks Barbara Jones!

Her class is very interesting. She makes the tests very easy and she is sooo nice and helpful!!! She is also very smart and knows what she is talking about. she shows passion for anthropology and wants her students to pass!

Professor Jones is great! Very enthusiastic and breaks the classes up with movies and field trips. She made the subject pertain to the classes lives and made things completely understandable. She reviews extensively before tests. I would love to take her for another class!

She was interesting and very openminded, loves her job. There is a lot of work, and you have to do all the reading beforehand, but she's helpful. Tough on papers, so make sure you know what she's looking for and ask questions if you are not sure. Do extra credit assignments. Trips and class debates are fun and refreshing.

I like this teacher. She is almost too nice. She cares about her students and is happy to help. The more interest you show the better. You can babble like an idiot, and she is just happy you are participating. Don't take her class if you want to skate by, but if you do the work you will get an A.

she rules, she is really nice and a good teacher, class is a little hard but its okay cause if ur not a bum and put effort in and talk to her and be friendly with her, youll like this class

Not the easiest teacher, but I loved her. She inspired me to THINK, not just memorize facts. I loved her projects, the tests weren't bad. She encouraged us to speak our mind and debate. She didn't just sit there and talk, she asked us our opinions. Treats you like person, such a respectful and wonderful teacher! Thanks Dr. Jones!!

I had her for English 122 and she was very tough with the papers. Though being tough, she helped me out alot with my writing and has henceforth allowed my research papers to be more proper format-wise. Very smart woman.

She's is an awesome teacher. A little difficult, but she wants her students to learn!

If you don't know how to write an essay before you take her class, you WILL know, once you've taken it. She is an awesome teacher. She wants you to learn. She has a passion for cultural learnings. Very interesting class. She will proof read your papers, tell you what to fix, let you fix them, and then give you an A, if you've done what she advised.

Very good teacher. It's not the easiest class, but if you show up and put in the effort, you'll get a good grade. She wants her students to learn and to pass, and she'll help get you there.

Excellent professor. Made the material very interesting and easy to understand. Great discussions in class and fun field trips. Would definitely take another class with her if it was offered. Tests were manageable and not too much homework.

She is the best professor, made the class fun and I learned a lot along the way, very inspiring.

Dr. Jones is a GREAT teacher! I have now taken four classes with her and she has made a profound effect on my academic career and no doubt "career" when I leave school. She goes above and beyond any teacher I have had in helping her students to learn not just pass. Take her if you really want to learn something about the world we live in.

Good teather. Very intresting.

She is a wonderful, down to earth professor- and she is incredibly intelligent without being like "look at me im a smarty pants"

excellent professor. I knew nothing about anthropology but learned to appreciate the science and importantce of it.

Barbara Jones is a great teacher. She has you write papers on interesting and current cultural topics. She is a tough grader but will proof read your papers via email.

Compassionate teacher who truly cares about her students but is not lenient with major grades. Interesting subjects and easy but frequent work make this class tolerable.

This is by far the smartest woman I have ever met. She knows everything about EVERYTHING. She is extremely nice and lets you out early. All of the assignments are an easy A. The only thing is the testa are kind of hard because they are not multiple choice they are all short answers. But she makes it interesting and easy to pay attention.

I enjoyed her class very much! She makes the subject matter interesting and athough her short answer tests are not easy, she gives many opportunities for extra credit. I would happily take a class with her again!

Very intelligent woman...she made anthropology interesting and taught it the perfect way

FAVORITE TEACHER. SUCH A SMART, CARING PROFESSOR. IF ONLY EVERYONE WAS AS INTERESTING AS SHE WAS. MADE A SOMEWHAT DIFFICULT SUBJECT VERY UNDERSTANDABLE AND FUN. ALSO MADE GOING TO AN 8AM CLASS WORTH IT. EXTREMELY HELPFUL AND KNOWLEDGEABLE. I HAVE ALREADY RECOMMENDED HER TO ALL MY FRIENDS.

never paid attention, but wrote down the notes, the test were super long but not too hard, as long as u knew the material, u could bs the answers. u need to read the assignments she gives. i never did the h.w but still got a b

Dr. Jones is without a doubt one of the BEST (and nicest) professors at brookdale. Anthropology is not a well known subject but she made it relevant and important. Make sure you take good notes and write down what she writes on the board and LEARN it for the tests. TAKE her class! you won't regret it

She's a sweetheart! Very energetic and LOVES whats she teaches. She gets the whole class involved, and she gives interesting assignments. (Nothing difficult) She makes you think about the world and makes you appreciate diversity. You go on field trip too. You could fail her class, and STILL want to take her again. She's THAT good! TAKE HER!!!

Jones is a great teacher she makes everything crystal clear and always refers to an example to help better understand a concept. Homework is easy. Expect random quizzes in the beginning of the semester. Tests are another story, long open ended and rather difficult. if your up for the challenge take the class. offers extra credit as well!

nice teacher. you really got to memory things.

She is a really nice and great teacher. Take good notes and copy whatever she puts on the board. If you study those notes you should do well on her tests. The tests are difficult got an B on the first but then and A+ on the second and third. Going to class is key to doing well. Read the culture readings you get quizzed on them. Good luck!

Highly recommended

Professor Jones is a wonderful teacher and person. She really tries to help the students out with the grades because the class has a lot of material to cover. There's alot of extra credit in the class if you feel your not doing well. Overall one of the best professors i've had all year!

Best Professor I ever had! I changed my major after taking her class. If you want to be inspired and learn, take her. If you just are going to school to make your parents happy, waste your time in someone elses class. She is serious and puts in serious effort, therefore she deserves the same in return!!

AMAZING! good person as well as a great prof! I enjoyed her class and would love to take it again!

Very Passionate teacher, I still use what I've learned from her class on a daily basis. I'm an Environmental Science major but I might switch to Anthropology thanks to her.

Professor Jones is wonderful! Her love of anthropology is contagious! She is knowledgeable, kind, and crystal clear in her expectations. I took this class online and loved it! Participation in online discussion posts is important. At home testing and a few short papers. You will learn a great deal and enjoy yourself at the same time!

She is helpful but very hard grader. I was disappointed on her.

She's always happy and really into what she's teaching. Wasn't that easy but if you study for her exams you will easily get an A or B , allows you to do extra credit and there's a field trip to a museum

she was very detailed& organized with the online class instructions via angel. There were discussions every week& an assignment that varied-writing short (1-3 pg) papers to reading and answering questions.Tests were online& sometimes difficult bc the way questions were worded were different than textbook definitions you study. I would recommend her

I look back on my years at Brookdale, and I can say with complete confidence that this was my favorite class. Professor Jones was so passionate about anthropology that it was hard not to be passionate about it with her. Very helpful and quite easy. Believe me, take her.

Took this anthropology class online in the summer and loved it ..first class online and i enjoyed it shes a great professor and easy to get in touch with def recommend her!

Took this class online. Very easy, a whole lot of reading. Professor is very helpful. Class participation is a must! Your grade will depend on it..

I took Anthropology 105 online and it was a great class. The exams were hard you have to read the chapters. Overall she is a great professor if u email her she is responding right back.

Hard on tests all open ended. Tough grader

Dr. Jones is an amazing educator. She is incredibly enthusiastic about anthropology and her enthusiasm is contagious. Discussions or pop quizes about reading assignments are frequent. A very fair grader. If you can defend your answer she will at least give partial credit. She is easily accessible and will help you get the best grade posssble.

Professor Jones is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I took the Honors version of this course. She talks a lot, so we fell behind in the syllabus. Her grading criteria were a mystery to me. Willing to read drafts to offer feedback. Encouraging and helpful. Two group projects. Three total presentations. Tests take the whole class time. Study!

Best teacher EVER so kind and caring she wants to see you succeed! Take her!

Dr. Jones is BCC's greatest professor. She is passionate about ANTH to the point where you can't help but be interested. She makes an effort to demonstrate how ANTH relates to everyday life. She is a thorough, FAIR grader. She is 100% invested in her students success. Make an honest effort, ALWAYS go to study sessions, and you'll truly EARN an A+.

She's awesome! Never too much work, but make sure you read and know what you're talking about. Good class. I only took it for credit, but it was enjoyable.

Great class! Classes and exams arent hard, but definitely pay gotta read the textbook to know definitions etc. Power point slices most helpful for exams. 1 paper and 3 exams. Prof. Masi does his best to make the class interesting. Would take again.

Took physical anthro with Jones (mid pandemic): this course is easy, it's just a bit of busy work honestly. Professor Jones offered 40 points worth of extra credit (out of like 600-700?), and I essentially chegged exams, but still had to write like 15+ papers (exams were LONG). Definitely an easy A, just a BUNCH of busy work. Worth it though.

Prof. Jones gives amazing feedback and actually participates with students on the discussion posts, which I appreciate. She is very easy to get a hold of by email. The only thing I did not like about this class is that the weekly assignments are worth little to no points, so your whole grade depends on how you do on the tests and the final paper.

I liked the way she teaches but the assignments were impossible to get high grades on. She takes points off for the smallest thing. I wouldn't take her again for this reason.
