what a great class--what a great prof-really knows her stuff-prepared-interesting

Great prof-some students are not ready for college-they come in play on their computers, sleep, talk etc. If you are serious, intelligent, mature she is great. If you are just hangin, go away!!!!

great prof-I learned alot. She covered so many Latin American Countries in one semester. I can away with much more info than when I started. Quality Prof-dosn't fool around, but is there for students. Take her-she's great

She has a very unique insight on life, loves to talk and go off on several tangents. She expects a lot of memorization and class participation. She spent alot of time lecturing us on how to be good students and her personal life. Her tests are hard and she expects great details. Be prepared to read, take notes, and study.You will learn alot though.

This woman is an amazing teacher. By the end of this class you will be an expert on Latin America and many other things. She uses overheads so notes are VERY organized. Don't take her class if you don't want to do a lot of thinking or participating. If you pay attention and do the reading you will have an awesome time in this class!

Good class. I learned alot her lectures are well organized and well presented. Exams are fair. Overall would highly recommend

good instructor-good well organized class-good use of overheads and films. Really knowledgeable about topic.

This was the best class I've had at Oakland U. Prof is well informed, fun and cares about students, She has to deal with alot of crazyness from freshmen but does it well. They need the 'wake-up' call. I loved the class.

Although it may seem that she is a little bit conceded, going on into tangents about her life spent among villages in the Amazon, Fogelson is an intelligent instructor. Yes, the lectures are long, but they are informal. She tells you what to expect and if you listen you'll do just fine.

Best prof I ever had-great understandable lectures-she made course very interesting-well worth the time and money

Beverly J. Fogelson PhD has difficult tests. Her quizzes are pretty easy though. I would not recommend her for freshman. Classes are based on lecture and class participation is highly recommended. You get extra points at the end of the semester if you participate.

This wasn't my major so I was hesitant. As semester progressed I came to appreciate what a great professor really is. This class was fantastic. I learned so much. She has traveled the world and shares without conceit or arrogance.

Beverley J. Fogelson ph.D is by far the best professor i've ever had. i highly receommend her.Class is always interesting and never dull. Tests can be challenging but you'll do well as long as you show up to class and review your notes.

is there value here-about 80 students in class I took and only a few reviews here-sounds like those who fail dislike-actually, she is fantastic-crystal clear and accessible

This was the easiest class I took, I'm a freshman.Her lectures weren't hard to understand, and even though she rambled she always found a way to connect it to what we were talking about, somehow. As long as you take notes you should be fine. She pointed out what was going to be on the test too. I recommend taking her class in the afternoon though.

Fantastic class. I'm so glad I took it. She really made me think about alot of things I had taken for granted about Latin America. Well organized, clear lectures, fair grades. Great class and prof

best class I've ever taken. changed my life

worthwhile-learned alot-she's clear, concise, knowledgeable,interesting and makes topic come alive. never bored

fantastic class, great prof, very clear, very knowledgeable,would gladly take her again

Not the easiest class ever taken but the most valuable. She really made me think in areas I never had before. Great prof

Very interesting prof- tells lots of interesting stories and tends to ramble. Not a very difficult class, you definitely have to show up thogh. Tells you what's on the exam the day before. I highly recommend her.

lovedd this class! she is a very interesting professor I enjoyed listening to her talk. If you study everything is simple and she tells you what will be on the exam the day before !

Fogelson is a pretty good prof. Her lectures are usually interesting and she's a nice lady. The class is pretty easy if you do the reading, take notes, and pay attention in class. The only thing I didn't like about her was that she seemed to be pushing a political viewpoint in class.

Super easy class if you show up and pay attention. She strays away from the topic and definitely pushes her politcal viewpoints onto the students. Always feels it necessary to explain how to take notes-I'm pretty sure we wouldn't be here if we couldn't take notes by now...easy A.

I was skeptical when coming into this class, mostly because science is NOT my forte at all. However, I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed class very much. The freshman got incredibly annoying at times, but she managed to put them in their place ;) Just show up every day, take good notes, and you'll have a goo grade.

Professor Fogelson is an amazing professor. I learned so much in her IS250 class. She is very intelligent and well versed on the subjects she teaches. She also has a good sense of humor and is pretty easy going. If you want to do well in her classes, come to lecture everyday and take good notes. If you make an honest effort, you'll do well.

Great Prof, Great Class. I love how she connects the material to our lives. She is really, really great.

This was one great class. I learned sooo much and the prof is awesome-I mean really awesome

I think I got more out of this class than any other I've ever had. I was reluctant to take Latin America because it seemed like just another elective. Boy, was I wrong. I understand a lot about Latin America and a lot about the USA. A really great experience

good class. I'd recommend it. Certainly college level

Very good professor, she is very involved in her material which makes the class really interesting. She tells you exactly what you will need to know for the exams. Highly recommend this class!

This is probably the best class I've had so far at Oakland. She really relates what she teaches to our lives. He doesn't like cell phones and texting in class though-feels we should treat the learning environment with the respect it deserves-I really do agree with her. I loved the class, and found her to know so much-blew me away. Great

I would recommend this class. She doesn't overuse powerpoints. She is clear and makes the work interesting. I loved the part on the tango and on Colombia and concaine and on the border and immigration. REally, really good prof

Class was worth the money. She's good.

I was in the class with gal who kept saying she wanted to stay young and beautiful forever. We all kind of giggled at her ego. She seldom came to class and was a real freshman type. Class was actually pretty great.

Best class I have ever taken. She relates the material to the real world. Not the easiest but certainly not the hardest. Fair.

Taking organized notes was impossible because she'd switch topics then come back to them a little while later. You HAVE to read the textbook to make sense of the lectures and do well on the exam. attendance is mandatory and she presents exam material that isnt in the textbook Shes an interesting person but i would not recommend her as a professor.

Yes-this class is well worth the time and effort. She changed the way I look at the world and did it in a way that connected it to our lives. I really strongly recommend this class

I didn't realize what a good class and prof this was until this semester when I have a terrible one. Fogelson is great, she makes the course interesting and gives us a chance to give our opinions. I really think it was one of the best classes I've taken so far.

great class, great prof, fair grade. well worth the time and effort, learned how to think on college level.

She's on time, follows the syllabus, makes reading comprehensible, interacts with students, is fun, grades fair, everything I wanted or needed in a class

I just got done taking her final exam. She is a very passionate teacher. She really loves Latin America. There is no homework and no papers to write. There are 3 tests and a quiz. There are some in class writing assignments but they are strictly your own thoughts. She does like to call on people to give their opinion. Also, She hates cell phones.

Very good teacher, very passionate. I would recommend her to anyone. She knows her stuff. I was able to take stuff that I learned in this class and apply it to other classes. She is very clear as to what she expects from you. Overall a great teacher. But be careful, she has a sign in sheet and deducts points if you miss class. Also, stay off phones

Best class I've ever had. She's great and makes learning about LS relevant to our lives. She's very approachable, I had lunch with her in the Oakland Center and she always returned my emails. I loved the class

Very, very interesting class. Professor Fogelson has a great approach to teaching. Do the work. Stay off the cell -she is really tough on texting in class,and go to class. I liked this class a lot

I enjoyed this class and the profs approach. She makes it interesting and relevant to students lives. I'd take her again. Must get book and take notes. class participation expected. Turn cells off. No computers. Attendance requried

Personally, I liked the class. She is a really, really good prof and very, very smart. That's what I paid for.

fantastic class. take it. She's great, fair, approachable.

This is the reason why we take college level classes! We need more professors like Dr. Fogelson. She makes you think and work hard, which is what you need once you graduate. Highly recommend the class. Need to put in effort and textbook is indispensable!

Professor Fogelson is an very nice person. It would be nice if she could remember my name but on the flip side the book is a must to read. Lectures can be interesting and boring. She tells a lot of stories and is one of those very straight to the point strict professors. 3 exams, and a daily thoughts writing assignment. Attendance is mandatory!

Fogelson seems like a nice lady, but her lectures are very boring. There has been many days I've needed caffeine just to keep my eyes open while listening to her. She HATES it if you look tired or are sleeping. Again, seems nice but she has the potential to blow up and turn mean at random times. She's OK. Not the best but not the worst either.

Great class. She's very caring and approachable. Book is required reading. In class assignments. I really, really liked the class. She really knows the topic and makes the class very interesting. I'd take her again. Students who don't study and are just there but not involved always complain about everyone but themselves. I liked her

Highly recommended. Nice to have a Ph.D teaching a class. she tells great stories about her trips to the Amazon. exams are fair. she is really really nice and gives good, fair exams. take her but turn your cell phones off. she is really strict on that.

Good class. she won't let you sleep or text but she's right. some of the STUDENTS were really boring,pretty dumb but most were really into the subject. I'd take her again. Read the syllabus, read the book and come to class-get the grade, no problem.

Read syllabus, attend class, read book, lectures are very interesting and add to but don't replace readings. She is very professional. Very knowledgeable. Very good. I never missed a class. Some students are just screwing around which doesn't work with her. No cells or computers. Fair grading. Doable exams. In class writing. Loved the class

Interesting class but continuously lectures and is all over the place. Really random too, she talks about neanderthals one minute and about the meaning of corn the next minute (and other obscene things). Little weird. Go to class, a lot of stuff on the test isn't in the book. AND buy the book, you WILL need it.

NO, she's not all over the place. She uses examples to back up what culture she is talking about. Easy to follow and she makes it interesting. Her lectures follow the chapter topic so it helps to read book as you go. Great prof, great class. I am going to take her again, well worth the money

Class was well structured and her lectures are extremely clear and interesting. I would highly recommend this prof.

AMAZING. Her stories of traveling were fascinating (and relevant). Her expectations of students are very, very high so try your best! and pay attention, sometimes you write a mini paper at the end of class based on the lecture--be clever. she will read the best ones out loud. I would highly recommend her to anyone, she is an awesome lady.

She made a tough topic (human evolution) not only understandable but interesting.She is very helpful and really cares about students. She explains why you want to know the subject while adding lots of relevant stuff. I really liked her and the class. She is very knowledgeable about anthropology and has been all over. Liked her stories.

Really, really loved this class.Dr. Fogelson is very fair and the class was very interesting. She was available after ever class and was helpful. Take her!!!!!

If you still think at highschool level and want to goof off don't take this class.If you think at college level and want a really great class-don't miss this one. 3 exams. In class papers. In class discussion. No texting. No sleeping. Great prof.

Popular prof. Class fills fast so register early. No nonsense prof- but well worth the time, money and effort. Changed my life and how I think about being a person.

recommended. clear in presentation. work not overwhelming, exams fair, text required, don't sleep, don't text. High ratings on course and content, I'd recommend

Come to class and you will get at least a 3.0. there are 3 exams worth 80 points each/45 points towards attendance. brilliant woman who has traveled around the world and has interesting lectures. the exams are a combination of the book and lecture so do what is asked by her. she's put people on the spot a lot so make sure you are paying attention

Good class. I would recommend. Work is very manageable. She is very clear and makes class interesting

I am so glad I took this class. She is really helpful and makes learning about Latin America relevant to our lives. Highly recommend tooo

She is a great professor but her tests are tricky. I loved the material, studied hard but scored low on the exams so I will say she's hard. Great class though

Good class. Make sure you buy the textbook. She gives study guides a couple of days before each exam which really helps. She is also very knowledgeable and helpful.Lots of us really, really liked this class. Exams are fair if you study and take class notes. She makes class very interesting.

Quality prof. Highly recommend this class. Bring book to class with you and don't cut class. Fair grades.

I learned alot and the course held my interest. No term paper. 3 Multiple choice and short answer essay exams. Class was quite good considering it is not my major. Prof is a real gem.

Positives: Funny, passionate, smart lady. Negatives: Disorganized, NOT EASY BY ANY MEANS. Kept me interested tho, even when I wasnt doing well. Never ever skip a single lecture. The book is a must. I made friends in that class & formed a study group (#DoTheSame #TrustMe). I survived it with a 3.0 but I worked rly hard for it. Good luck & God speed

Great class. Quality prof. Clear, smart, understanding, good experience. highly recommend

Phenomenal class. Best I have ever taken. Agee, must bring book. Definitely college level which was much appreciated. She is crystal clear and supportativw

Great class. Couple of students created problems but prof handled well. She is well worth time and effort

Great lass. Highly recommend

I would take her again. Map test and three exams. She is a good prof.

Fantastic. She really likes the students and interacts with us. Textbook is necessary but she tells you what to study. Gives study guides. Lectures are so exciting you can't wait for next class. Liked other students in class. Take her

Good prof. Good class. She makes it fun to learn. She is very fair in grading, but you do have to work

She is good. Of course if you don't come to class and don't do the work you would expect to fail. This is college. 3 exams, multiple choice not very difficult. We did a lot of class interaction which was really fun. I loved her stories and her way of teaching. I plan to take her again.88

This was not a hard class. Calc is hard, Bio is hard. Class is worth it. made lots of new friends and we all passed. learned alot. she likes students andknows her stuff. Take the class.

I agree with most of my course mates. She is very good. I highly recommend her.class very doable and certainly is not boring.

I would recommend the class. Lots of interaction. Fair exams. Interesting.

Lots of in class interaction. Looked coming to class. Exams on both lecture and book, but she goes over book. Attendance counts. Discussion in class cou ts too. Liked her

Her class was something to look forward to everyday. I enjoyed her lectures. She was very serious, and she looked like she knew what she was talking about because she traveled to 40 countries. Read the textbook well, take good notes, and use flashcards because it will really help. Attendance is mandatory.

College level quality course with mucho discussion and fair exams. Recommend highly

I didn't think I would like this course, it's on evolution. I was really surprised that I did. She makes it soo real and like part of our lives. I would take her again.

I love her as a Professor, she can be rude if your texting in class, or falling asleep, but if you pay attention in class your going to be fine. She is preparing you for higher level classes, and she gives you 50 points if you don't miss more than the allowed days to be absent.

Good prof. Very I teresting and clear. Loved her style of presenting.take her, you won't be disappointed

I looked forward to coming to class. She is the best prof I have ever had. Fair exams. Met my best friend in her class. Love to hear her talk. She is funny, and so very smart. Learned so much. Loved her

The class interaction is awesome. She goes over book, then gives a lecture with overheads, slides, outlines, photos. Three exams which was great and she shows you what the best exams look like which helps. You give feedback in class. Fantastic course.

She teaches lots of classes. I tell my friends to definitely take at least one. Very good course. Very doable. Big class but well organized

She is the best teacher I have ever taken. If you don't like her because she made you think outside of your box, then she did not do her job. Exams are fair and whatever you do, do NOT look at your phone

I agree with most others here. She is a great prof. No nonsense, but what a teacher should be. I learned soooo much and she is sooo interesting.

Soooo great

It was really nice having a prof that treated us like adults instead of teens. I particularly like how she connected the class to our real lives. I will take her again.

Prof was very interesting and gave fair exams. loved inclass discussion. I plan to take her again. Some students really not up for college so don't do work then complain about her. she is a great prof.

Fanrastic class, she is terrific. Exams fair. She is so interesting and funny. We all loved her.

extsttoryremely interesting class and professor

This is my absolute favorite prof. She is very passionate about her field and makes lecture interesting. Doesn't go off of ppts. She is funny and entertaining. Do not use your phone AT ALL in her class. Takes points off for missed classes. If you go to lecture and read the book you will get an A. Loved her class, highly recommend her!

Very good class. Very fair prof. You will learn a lot. Those who don't like her hoof off a lot.

After two classes with her, i know that she is only rude to students that are rude to her first, or who text, sleep, eat etc. isn't that her job????

Best profmi have had so far. Some students in class low level but others not. Fair in grading. Interesting. Liked the class a lot.

Really found the class informative, and agree she gives fair exams. Tries to get us to I tract, but some guys are new to college and expect to get a grade without cracking the books. I very much liked her way of teaching. Very clear. 3 exams, goes over reading. Uses overheads. Good semester with her.

Need to come to class regularly, but the lectures are Interesting. Read the book and take good notes. Tests not overly hard. She is very interesting, smart and has traveled to some awesome places. I enjoyed class. Liked her.

Very large class, but well controlled. No texting, coming in late etc that would disturb others concentrating. Very interesting. Uses lots of examples and her own extensive experience in the field, enjoyed the class

She can be a very hard professor but you will learn a lot. She is incredibly insightful and not just about the class she is teaching but about life in general. I didn't need to take the An 320 but I took it specifically because she was teaching it and I wanted to take her class one more time before I graduated.

Great prof. Very interesting. Lots of class interaction. Exams are fair but must study book. Will take more courses with her.

Very clear and fair presentation of human past and tools and art and ancient civilizations. Really like the way she teaches. Will definitely take her again. Need to read book and come to lectures. 3 exams. No papers. Lots on writing in class.

I would give this class a very high rating. I knew nothing about Latin America, but she gives a lot of quality stuff. She has lived there so knows the facts. Exams are not to hard if you study and she gives a good study guide. Must go to class and take notes. No texting, she is really strict on this

Prof is fine. Read book she uses it a lot. Gives study guide and 3 exams. Interesting class. Liked her

I learned so much in this class. She makes the material relevant to our lives. She has lots of experience and really knows how to make the stuff interesting.

Great class. Fun. Great prod. No cells or texting which is good. Clear, understandable lectures. Met my best friend in this class.

Class was very informative. Great she controls celltext use. Exams fit lecture and books

Ms Fogelson is a very good teacher. I learned a lot. She is interesting and helpful

Took for Anthropology. It am a senior. She is one of the best profs at OU. Very fair. Very smart. Very interesting.

Best class I have had so far

College level class. Very interesting prof. Freshman level so lots of students very immature and not ready for college. She really cares and gives lots of good comparisons. Liked her

Great class. Made tough material easy to understand. Takes time to talk to you. Some freshmen not ready for college classes so complain but most of us like her a lot.

I enjoyed the class. She is an amazing prof. Like that she confronts texting students. Will definitely take her again..

I liked her. Know a lot about anthropology now. Friendly, interesting, but expects us to act like adults. Tough on texting and coming In late. Very fair in grades. Read book!!!! Good class

She was intimidating, she scared me but I learned so much and anthropology just fascinated me! Her exams are straight to the point and I thought they were easy to take!

Amazing prof. She has traveled the world and really makes anthropology interesting.

Her lecture's are amazing. At the beginning, they were tough to keep up with but once you learn her teaching style it gets easier. She gives three exams and you lose two points for every missed class, but you won't want to miss with her lectures. She really challenges your perspective and is very passionate about anthropology. She demands respect.

Old school prof, a lot of respect for her teaching style. Strict but fair w/class rules. 3 exams, multiple choice. Take good notes during her lectures, read the book. Really interesting to listen to, she knows & loves her field. OU needs more teachers like her. If you get a chance to take her, do it! I learned some perspective from listening to her

Very interesting lady, she incorporates her own stories and experiences into her lectures which I thought was pretty awesome. She calls on random people a lot which forces you to pay attention and participate in class. The exams are very difficult and if you aren't there to take notes everyday or study very hard you won't pass them.

Dr. Fogelson literally changed my life. I came in as a business major and took AN 101 as an elective and fell head over heels for Anthropology, so I changed my major. She is tough, strict and you will 100% need to make it to every class, but just think of it as story time with tests. Anthropology will change your life. I recommend this class to all

Somewhat hard to take notes on. It's basically story time, which is good- she's had lots of experience in the field and has a lot to tell. Not an ideal class if you have a poor attention span or poor memory, as the book doesn't cover everything she tests on. Copy everything she puts on the board, memorize those lists. Tests are fair.

Dr. Fogelson is a great old school anthropology prof. Once you get used to her style (no phone use in class, etc.), she will provide some great lectures on the content (she has a lot of field experience). Be sure to read the book outside of class, as some of the material there isn't covered in lecture and vice versa, and take good lecture notes.

Class is clear it. Read, attend lecture, participate, study. No surprises. She is very good and really knows her stuff. Loved the class

Fantastic prof.

Great professor!! Class is never boring, pay attention and take good notes and youll do fine!!

There are 3 exams plus some participation points for the class grade so its essential to come to every class (miss more than 2 days and it hurts your grade). Take good notes and look for quizlets when studying for exams/final. Shes older and full of fun stories and knowledge. I recommend taking her, it may require little/some studying

Professor Fogelson is amazing!!! I looked forward to her lectures every week. Pay attention, participate, do the reading and you won't have any problems. She has a lot of field experience and is very knowledgeable. I wish I could take her for more classes. If you're looking for an easy 4.0 this class may not be for you. Class is worth the effort.

Fogelson was one of my favorite professors! There is a lot of reading and she does not allow technology in class, but she is such an interesting person that really cares about the students. She is very opinionated but does not force you to take her side, she just tries to add perspective for people. She also provides good outlines for her exams.

My all time favorite professor at OU! I have never met a woman quite like Dr. Fogelson. Being an anthropologist she has been all over the world with so many unique stories, I could listen to her all day! She is by far one of the most difficult profs I've taken, but the challenges she pushes are much needed for adult reality.

She gives the best advice that any teacher cannot give to their students. She is for sure one of a kind and all of her lectures have to do with life experiences!

Great prof. Quality class.

A quality professor with tremendous knowledge about peoples of the world. Wonderful teacher

Dr fogelson was one of the best lecturers I have so far had. Really enjoyed her lectures and insights.

She is on time well prepared, lectures relevant and very interesting. Has traveled the world with fantastic experiences in odd pl aces. I loved coming to lecture and test were fair If you read the text and studied.
