I took her the very first time she was teaching and she is very nice and helpful. She is very modern with the materials that she teaches. Her practicums are hard, but her exams are easy. As long as you do the work, it's very easy to get an A/B.

She is very structured with her class, so you know what you are doing and so forth. Read all she gives you and study. It is probably a more fun and interesting class than other life sciences if you are a social science major.

Ms. Floyd is actually a pretty easy teacher if you follow her directions. Most people in my class failed because they didn't follow her study instructions. If she gives you a handout study it. It will be on the test. She can come across as angry. But overall she's fair. She knows the subject matter. She likes the subject matter.

She is a GREAT TEACHER. These other comments are by lazy students who don't want to work. If you want to learn and do some work you will do fine in her class. She is also very nice to all her students!

I agree with the last person. Ms. Floyd is a fantastic teacher... she just thinks college students should do college level work. She loves anthro and it shows. Her lectures and videos are interesting. Exams are very challenging, but fair. Take notes, pay attention and read the book and articles. She's really sweet too!

Great teacher, passionate about subject. Lectures are easy to follow. Quizzes and tests are fair. A lot to learn, but you'll do fine as long as you go to class, keep up with the reading, and study the notes.

No way! Ms. Floyd is way cool! If you can't pass this class you ARE lazy and if you ever thought you were a good student you're lying to yerself!!

Easy class and the tests aren't hard at all. I think the only people who did bad are probably just lazy.

Tougher class from what you would expect from an introductory class. However, Floyd is really passionate about her stuff and demands the best from her students. Expect to do some work for her, which inevitably causes one to learn a lot, and the A is definitely feasible.

At first I wasn't sure about Becky, but as the semester went on I began to like and respect her more and more. She truly loves anthropology and it shows in her teaching. However, a lot of people did VERY poorly in this class. Even though it may seem easier than other sciences, if you're lazy or stupid you won't pass. The material is awesome!

Extremely easy multiple choice tests. Or maybe it's me, I don't know, but it didn't take much effort to Ace them. I usually cramp all those information an hour before class starts. There were about 4 to 5 tests. I got 100% on 2 of the tests and A's on the others. Overall, her class was pretty chilled.

Her lectures are clear but her tests are a bit tough. Nothing some studying cant fix. She is passionate about her subject and is kind. Project is what you make of it (mine was unforgettable). Overall an enjoyable class..just study!

hard and very time consuming, but you learn a lot.

Professor Floyd is awesome. She was very nice, and intelligent. The class was a bit difficult but if you do all the work and the extra credit you will pass. Personally, I barely passed but I didn't do all of the work. READ ALL OF THE ARTICLES or they'll come back to bite you in the butt. She is very passionate about her subject and will help you!

A+! changed to anth major!

What you can expect if you take this online is a LOT of reading, many discussion board posts, watching videos, and hard tests even though it's open book. This course is very demanding of your time. Professor Floyd teaches as if everyone in the class is an ANT major and has no life. I got an A but it wasn't easy at all. Just be prepared for it.

I took the online class and let me just say that she is truly an astounding teacher. She definitely knows her stuff and WANTS us to learn. The only difficulty I've found in her class are the discussion boards because they need to be PRECISE, ACCURATE, and DETAILED if you want to get full credit.

No, she is not easy. Why should school be easy? Do not take a class with her unless you want to learn, you WILL learn with her. If you're having problems with the material ask for her help! She's incredibly helpful and very involved in her classes. She puts other online instructors to shame. She's an amazing teacher and I've learned so much.

I took Bio Anthro with this teacher about a year ago. I was an Anthropology major at the time and if you are an Anthro major, take her. You will learn a lot. I thought the class was going to be hard, but in the end I receieved an A! If you attend class, you receive so many points. She is not hard. Study for her midterm and final. You'll be fine!

Great teacher! Extremely helpful and crystal clear. Anybody who doesn't like her obviously isn't doing their part and studying. The class is difficult, but she provides great study guides that if you actually do them, are really helpful. Take her!

Prof Floyd isn't easy, but I didn't' come to college to get spoon fed infromation like a baby, either. I enjoyed this class, and would sign up for another. I think the recent posters are just slackers who didn't do the work.

I hadn't been in school in 2 years. I got a D on my first test due to my own lack of studying. Instead of being bummed, I turned it around and with extra credit, I was able to pull off an A. You get study guides that are clear - use them!!! This is what helped me get an A. She expects alot out of you, but in the end it is worth it & you learn

All these other students are just plain lazy. She never lets a question go unanswered and though she expects a lot of you, it's your responsibility to study so you can do well. She's amazing!!!!!

I was really worried about this class at first, but Professor Becky made it really fun. I would definitely take her again if I could. Just do your work and study, and she'll meet you halfway.

Easiest A ever. took this online this summer. have regular conversations on the discussion board and you'll be fine. some of the reading is tedious, but most of it is entertaining. you get to take the quizes twice, so you can copy and past the questions to make sure you get them right. tests weren't that bad. overall, easy a.

Professor Becky Floyd was nothing but nice and helpful. As long as you do the reading ,take the quizzes and do the discussions, you will be fine. I think she is cool but more than that, the book (s) that she selects are awesome. They are straight forward and you don't have to make inferences, the information is all there to be absorbed.

Professor Floyd is very helpful, but the only thing I really don't like about the class is the fact that she does a lot of online work, which makes getting the assignments done harder.

Mrs. Floyd is a pretty cool teacher. She's very helpful as well. Lots of work for her class! I took her online class we had 2 DB's a week, quizzes, midterm, final and a book review. I would recommend taking her class.

Professor Floyd's really helpful. She's really nice too and pretty funny. She's willing to help you out and her quizzes are online which is pretty cool. Her tests aren't bad just review her study guides. I'm taking her right now, she's cool. I recommend her, and she has nice eyes

Loves what she teaches

I took her online class and it was very very hard. Ive taken many many online classes and her course was the only course where i did NOT get an A. even if you do the extra credit you have to be lucky to pull an A. 2 reading and writing assignments a week 5 quizes and 2 exams. you have to read a lot of articles and watch a lot of tedious videos.

Good teacher, ok class. Read the books before the test and you should do good. its a lab class so the teacher doesnt really do anything beside set up the labs, but she will gladly help anyone who asks a question.

Loves what she teaches. Very easy class and she is easy to get a hold of. Take her if you want to learn interesting information without being bored to death. She also has audio lectures you can save to your mp3 players.

Easy!

I took her online Witchcraft, Magic & Religion class. The content was very interesting, there was a ton of reading to do and the quizzes were based on the stories read, not the content of the main lessons. The class is a lot more difficult than I had anticipated and you definitely need to stay on top of things. Overall a good class!

She is an extremely hard grader. The only easy grades you can receive from this class is from attendance, everything else is ridiculously difficult. But she is an excellent teacher with a passion for what she teaches. Getting an A is possible, although it may not seem like it. Take this class if you want to be challenged or want to actually learn.

This class is not hard. She just grades VERY hard. I think her kid must be keeping her up because she grades essays very harshly. She thinks B's are acceptable. To me, I think she thinks the seven year plan is acceptable. Even if this is your only class class semester, you WILL get a B. Good luck, you have been warned.

Prof Floyd is an extremely hard grader. She thinks B's are acceptable and sees no problem in getting them. You will get a B or less no matter how hard you try. Her lectures are straight from the power point and at times lectures get very dull. Her room is cold so bring a jacket. She does not allow laptop use which would help greatly on notes.

This is a college class. Yes there is work, but it is an excellent class with an excellent and knowledgeable professor. One of the best teachers at Cypress College.

I really like this teacher. If you dont do the work youre not going to pass. Shes super helpful and is very clear in her lectures. This class can be really fun if you dont slack off

extremely interesting class! (her forensic anthropology) She is really nice, helpful, and dorky.

She was a good teacher! Shes a little hard at grading but her tests are really easy, and the essays are relatively easy too. The only thing that was sorta lame was that we watched proabably 5 or more whole classes worth of movies and you have to pay attention to take notes because she grades them.

Didn't like her at first, but really enjoyed her class by the end. She cracks jokes and can be quirky and fun, however you can't slack off in this class. She keeps you on your toes but nothing is THAT difficult if you just do it. A lot of the work is simply participation (video notes/attendance). READ for the online quizzes. Tests weren't too bad.

What a wonderful professor and a wonderful person. The class was very interesting. Yes you have to work, but you learn a lot!

I had an online class - Floyd is one of the best teachers I've ever had. I don't understand the negative comments. She was super helpful, the workload was fairly easy, and the material was actually interesting. Read the book, and do everything on time, you'll have no problems.

She is an AMAZING teacher! As long as you do your work you'll be golden! Her lectures are clear and straight forward as well as interesting. I couldn't have asked for a better teacher! The work is not difficult as long as you read the material. Great Teacher! :)

Lectures are great. Not too hard but you have to study for the online quizzes. Offers extra credit which a lot of professors don't.

I like this professor so much. She gave the class interesting lectures as well as their audios. Her voice is beautiful. She offered a lot of extra credits. She is sophisticated. The exams are hard. The online quizzes are time-demanding. I had to study hard but enjoyed the class. In general, Prof. Floyd is an excellent teacher.

Okay so this class is REALLY DIFFICULT not because of Professor Floyd, she understands this class has alot of hard concepts and teaches at a really good pace and makes the harder concepts alot easier to understand. I wouldnt recommend this course unless ur comfortable w/ the teacher. Take it with Floyd, be prepared for a ton of group work.

Second time taking her, Floyd was awesome yet again. Easy to contact and communicate with, gives interesting material, it's a little hard but atleast you learn something. You can tell she really cares about anthropology and her students. Highly recommend Floyd!!

If you're expecting and easy class this is definitely not one you can breeze by. Text book reading is a must if not do no expect to pass any quizzes. Make sure you are on time, She will lock students out especially fishes showing a movie or show that requires notes.

she is a GREAT teacher, she absolutely loves the stuff she teaches about. The class is really interesting, but there is a LOT of reading. If you're someone who usually gets around without studying too hard, this is not the class for you. But she is definitely my favorite teacher. The tests are pretty hard though.

A wonderful professor. She expects you do your work and act like an adult, but if you do all that then you will get a lot out of her class. Makes Anthropology very interesting.

Major part of your grade: being there and participating. I failed every quiz and got B's on the midterm and final and still got an A. Do the extra credit museum/zoo thing and you'll be solid. The study guide is the test exactly so go to her office hours and ask her to check your answers (she's a bit sassy but it's all good).

She assigned biweekly quizzes based on the most boring and useless articles ever. No matter how many times you read the articles you'll still get questions asking about the most abstract detail. Tests aren't too hard as long as you study the study guides provided.

Took her for summer anth101, I leaned so much in such a short time. Be prepared to READ, other than that- I showed up every day, did the extra credit, and walked away with an A.

Excellent teacher. I got an A in this class. Not sure why she has some negative comments on here. You read required chapters or articles you should be fine on quizzes and exams. Lots of bonus points too from assignments and an extra credit assignment for Museum of Man, SD Zoo, or LA Zoo (pick one). Emails back fast. Digital awards given also at end

She is very nice and helpful. The homework is consistent as the course material flows fluently. Taking one of P. Floyd's online classes takes commitment as she is strict with her due dates. She makes you use a website called VoiceThread and recommends you to make audiovideo comments weekly. She offers A TON of extra credit opportunities.

Gives 20 pt extra credit for museum, and another maximum 20 pt extra credit for optional online article quiz. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THESE! Clear & concise (no surprises). Knows what she's talking about & is passionate about her field. Attendance matters, especially for in-class lab and video note-taking days. Lectures can be a bit droning but it's OK.

She was so awesome in ANTH 101 that I took her again for Lab. She is the most organized & efficient professor I've ever had. The syllabus has a calendar that tells what will be covered in every day of class so there's no surprises. The tests aren't hard if you use the study guides and study in advance. Take advantage of the extra credit.

DEFINITELY need to attend class! For this particular class, she assigns a semester long project and every day you don't show up, it's 5 pts off your project which really adds up! Her tests are easy if you read and study; I messed up my first test because I didn't study. Other two were a breeze though. She's a funny lady; I recommend taking this!

Professor Floyd is an organized teacher however, her biweekly quizzes are boring. You have to read 13 articles and I completely failed each one. There are 3 exams- super easy, and tons of in class assignment. She's a hard grader and attendance matters. This class should be at least worth 4 unit. Won't be taking her again.

Weekly quizzes and two exams. The workload is not bad and the test is what's on the study guide. Her lectures are a bit monotone and boring, but bearable. She gives extra credit on her exams and 20 pt extra credit for going to the zoo or museum.

14 quizzes, 3 major exams, and 1 group project. Prof Floyd is an amazing teacher, she makes you work for your grade. Follow the syllabus and study guide because it will help you. There are 50 points total for extra credit; that's a lot if you ask me! Interesting class; I suggest that everyone make flash cards ahead of time to memorize the notes.

Becky is a great teacher. She is very does give a lot of extra credit so don't pass it up! One discussion board, one quiz and one three point extra credit assignment every week. The mid term and final are a bit challenging so make sure you read ALL ASSIGNED CHAPTERS. She responds to emails in a well timed manner. I recommend her.

She is very knowledgeable and passionate about her field, however, her lectures are very long and boring. Treats classroom like high school etiquette. Offers TONS of extra credit, so make sure to take advantage! She definitely makes you work for your grade.

She is very clear about what to expect in class. There is lots of homework and reading. She does give you credit if you tried but answered a question wrong. There is a semester long project to do. She does not accept anything late. She is very knowledgeable. She tossed someone's lunch once. Her defense always seems high but she is actually nice.

Fun class. Lectures are important and you must take notes on everything she says bc it will be on the tests. Lots of movies and documentaries, but all are really interesting and relevant to class material. Online homework is due once a week. 1 group project. Textbook is a must. 3 tests. Just follow her rules and this class will be great.

Excessive work!

Professor Floyd is a very straight forward professor. Her syllabus lists everything she expects throughout the class, and rarely diverts from her set calendar. Most of class time is spent in lecture with some small labs and videos. The tests are challenging but the material is interesting so it's not difficult to excel. Extra Credit is also offered

I took Floyd online last semester for her 8 week course. Boy, did I work my butt off. She was a tough grader but I learned a lot. There is a ton of work and quizzes twice a week. I worked out of 2 different text books. There is also a lot reading and writing. If you skip any work you will not pass. I'd take her again, just be prepared to work.

lectures are long and boring, TAKE NOTES OF EVERYTHING SHE SAYS! Everything on the review including whats she says during lecture is on the test. You have one group presentation, but its pretty simple and fun. Shows a lot of videos, and movies like Star Wars. homework is easy, but articles quizzes are tough but they're not on the test. Fun class!

Prof. Floyd is a teacher I would be more than happy to learn from again. She's fun and cares for her students and the subject material. Her lectures are to the point and she shows lots of videos. Gives extra credit worth tons of points and is helpful if you don't understand something. knowledgeable and kind

I took her condensed online summer course Biological Anthropology. She had everything structured really well which helped a lot as it was a 5 week course. There was significant reading each week but again that was due to the condensed course.

I get the feeling Prof. Floyd has negative reviews here because she makes you EARN a good grade. However, if you enjoy learning and having a professor who is obviously passionate about their line of work, you'll like this class. You will have to read quite a bit. There is extra credit, but it won't save you from slacking in other areas.

This class is not easy but it is interesting in course matter. Professor Floyd was really nice and won't put up with your funny business. If there's an obnoxious student she will call them out which is great for me because I can't focus otherwise. The tests were hard but if you do the inquisitives for EC you can pass with meh test grades. STUDY!

I have taken many of Prof. Floyd's classes both on campus and online and I can say for sure she is the most organized and knowledgeable instructor. She is passionate about anthropology and really wants students to learn. If you are looking for an easy A, are lazy, late all the time, play on your phone or chit chat, then no, she's not for you.

Its easy if you attend all the classes and read all the articles

She is the type of professor who has been in the teaching field for a very long time, though she does not look old. She told us a story of how she was once a biology major but then ultimately found her Personal Legend in the field of anthropology in order to encourage us into not being so disappointed if we do not do so well in a particular class.

The thing that make this course hard is the article quizzes. They have trick q's on them so they require deep thought. Plus other than reading the textbook, you are required to read 15 page academic articles up to 3 times a week. The first test had only 2 A's and 6 B's and the rest below that. And big study guides are given 1 week before tests.

A lot would say that her class is hard and that they would not take it again but I think they say that because they are not open to a challenge. Since a lot of people would take this class thinking it would be easy because it is about witchcraft, that is the stigma. But this class will take effort.

3 Exams and one of them is comprehensive. Study guides for all three exams are given a week before the exam. Study guides are usually about 35 questions long; but the final exam one is longer than 35. Weekly quizzes on academic journals. Extra credit opportunities that actually help your grade. And then some in-class assignments.

She's a pretty good professor and she's done a lot for the Anthropology Department as Department Chair. If you just want credit for GE, take 100 level courses and avoid 200 level courses because those courses are designed for anthropology majors in mind who have taken the 100 level course requirement.

Professor Floyd is tough but you learn a lot. She is friendly and extremely organized. I've taken several of her classes and changed my major because of her. She is a good teacher.

took her witchcraft class online. it was so interesting. Very hard because there was a lot of material but I learned so much. hardest class I've taken there's homework every week and lots of reading but it has been my favorite class I've ever taken ! Just do All the assignments on time and you'll pass.

Took her witchcraft class, it was by far one of the most interesting classes I've ever taken. I took it online and it was a lot of work but somehow I just tried my best and got an A. Honestly if you try to stay on top of deadlines you'll be fine. It is a hard class though.

Professor Floyd is an excellent Anthropology professor. Makes everything easy to understand.

Prof Floyd really unlocked the key to running a successful online class. Her lectures are beautifully done and she is so knowledgeable about her subject. Discussions are actually interesting and not painful or cringe-y. You will learn a whole lot in this class and you won't stress out doing so.

Overall, great class to take. The witchcraft class was actually interesting. This was an easy A. Just have a quiz at the end of every week and plenty of extra credit opportunities. I definitely recommend taking her class.

Awesome teacher and super engaging with what she talks about. I took Intro to Forensics and she's very good at lecturing and very informative. Study though, and the book isn't totally necessary (she does post resources in the modules which substitutes the book). Tests and quizzes are important so you gotta study well for those!

One quiz a week that was 15 questions based off of her lectures. Extra credit every 3 weeks that brought up your grade by like 3 percent each time. She was great and class was so easy.

She's great, is a great lecturer, deep, and considerate and funny, she used to be a hard-a** according to herself and these older reviews but has mellowed out, class is and was fun, you actually learn about the material, and she's dedicated to anthropology so if that's your major then she's your gal. I'd take her again.

Professor Floyd gave informative and thorough lectures. I took the 8-week course and was able to finish in 1 week since my other courses ended early. There were (7) quizzes based on the textbook/lectures and she also offers extra credit assignments(4). The course outline and grading criteria were clear to understand. Easy and interesting class!

All online, but literally, it's all weekly quizzes and many extra opportunities, so if you fail this class, it's literally on you. Too easy

Took this class as a 5-week summer course and I expected the online/short-term format to be hard but she made it super easy. It's just reading the textbook/materials/watching lectures then taking 15-question quizzes in 30 min. 14 quizzes and 4 extra cred opportunities for 10 points each. Just put in the work and you should be able to pass.

5 week summer course. 13 module quizzes (30 points each, 15 questions). 4 discussion post (10 EC points each). Canvas is very organized and readings are all on canvas, no textbook needed. Quizzes are open note as well. Kinda hard to pass class without EC because you can only get 3 points off per quiz (less than 2 questions).

This was not a difficult class at all. I got a C for personal life reasons. I plan to take again to earn an A. I came to check the comments, and it seems like she is still a great professor.

Easy to get an A if you have the time to read 2-4 chapters, take notes, and do 2 quizzes weekly. There are a few extra credit opportunities worth 5 points each, which are discussion boards. Nothing much else to say.

This is my second time taking Anth 102, but Ms. Floyd's structure of this class is perfect for me because I took a regular semester and it was one chapter a week then at the end take a quiz. There is no other assignments unless you opt to do the extra credit, but its a bit much for 5 points of extra credit. I like her style and would take her again
