fascinating, brilliant, challenging

The best class I've had at UCF. Challenging at times; engaging; interesting and flexible assignments. Willing to talk to you outside of class and give ideas and MAKE YOU THINK.

A teacher worthy of the word- She actually makes you think and yes, that means work, but it's not too much to handle. I plan on taking another class taught by her. Most work is submitted online- whoo hoo!

This teaching is fun, funny, challenging, interesting, and helpful. It doesn't get better than this.

Fun, exciting, inquisitive, interesting, knowledgable, and great class material as well. Loved it. Best Gen Ed class ever.

She is a wonderful professor and I wish I could take another class with her.

very interesting class and presented well. as long as you do the readings and assignments you'll do well. dr. schippert is a great teacher and i would love to take another class with her.

People who don't like her obviously either sleep through class or hate those who examine religions instead of accepting them as fact. Dr. Schippert can be hard to read at times, but is very knowledgable and a good teacher. Not too difficult to get an A. I would take her again.

Not bad. Class is very hard in terms of work load. She is a good professor, asks great questions. In class is easy: do reading, show up, participate in discussion, sometimes take quizzes. No tests in the class except final (which has essays and fill in the blanks) and fieldwork.

critical thinking! fair!

I loved Professor Schippert. She can be strict and opinionated, but she's a great professor. If religion or cultural anthropology is not your major, you won't like this class.I did get bored with just constantly having class discussions about the readings, I prefer taking notes. The fieldwork project was awesome and very educational.

I took this class for summer. I don't know if she teaches differently in the fall, but we absolutely NO homework or assignments. This may sound good, but when you only have 4 hard tests for grades, its not so great. I got a C, but I think its my fault for not studying enough. If you just copy her powerpoints and highlight the book, you will be fine

She's interesting. DO NOT TAKE HER FOR AN EASY CLASS!! I can't stress this enough. She's an amazing speaker, and I loved her class, but be prepared to work your ass off. You won't get an A in her class, but you'll come out a better person.

She is very interesting and she knows what she is talking about. Her tests are extremely difficult though. They are multiple choice questions but they are multiple answers so you have to put all the correct answers to get any credit for the question. I always read the chapters and still got c's and d's on the tests.

Very hard class. Do not take this class as a General Ed unless you are into hard, multiple answer exams. four HARD EXAMS, but the class is interesting. I studied my butt off and read the book every page and still got D's on her exams :( Shes a good teacher just horrible test.

Very interesting class I liked it alot. Her lectures were very well planned and kept you interested. No homework xcept to read(BUY THE BOOK)there were daily clicker questions that counted towards a participation grade. Tests were challenging, as long as you reread the chapters the day before the test youll be fine. Finished with a B. Awsome teacher

Dr. Schippert is the quintessential college professor: well-spoken, brilliant, and challenging.I took her for both queer theory and religion in America, and she made both courses engaging in their own ways.

She's a great professor who really knows her stuff. You can tell she has a lot of experiance in her field. If you take notes and read the book its an easy A. She explains everything very well. Tests are a little tricky, but other than that its an easy class. No homework. Take if you really want to learn about religion.

Overall the class is difficult but if you work hard and study you will learn a lot and do well.

Attendance for this class wasn't really required, but reading the textbook is a MUST. Her tests are fairly short, but extremely tricky sometimes, which always lead to me second guessing myself. But this class is interesting.

I found this class fairly difficult until I discovered that the textbook was KEY. I read the textbook for one exam and passed it unlike the others. She is a very knowledgable teacher and can be pretty funny. Read the textbook and you'll be fine.

Book is key. Tests are near impossible if you don't read. She is very knowledgeable in her background and her lectures are involved and interesting. If you're slow at taking notes, get them from others or type because she sometimes moves very quickly. She's the perfect example of what I expected professors to be like and what they should be.

If you read the book before the tests and remember key points and dates you'll be fine. I loved the class I found it fascinating. I don't know why Dr. Schippert got low ratings she's passionate and very interesting to listen to.

Try to read the chapter beforehand so that you can participate in her class discussions, PARTICIPATE IN HER CLASS DISCUSSIONS, do all of the online quizzes, and remember, USE YOUR COMMON SENSE on her tests and exams *hint*. She's a nice professor and you can tell she's passionate in her field.

If you come to class and read the textbook and other assigned material you should do just fine on the tests. The lectures are actually interesting and sometimes funny. Prof has high standards.

Schippert is an amazing (and funny) inspiration and shows the passion that teaching should have! In order to pass: read the book, watch her video links, show up to the lectures and write down EVERYTHING that she has on her slides. After the tests, highlight in your notes what you remember because those same questions (and quizzes) are on finals(

great prof. wants students to be prepared for class and helps them learn. but you have to do the work, then it is really interesting.

Easy and breezy! Good professor to take for Humanities if the rest of your classes are hard.

Only grades by attendance, 2 fieldworks, and tests. The class is a breeze if you go and just listen to what she has to talk about. If you don't go you won't do well at tests and she also doesn't roundup grades.

Schippert seemed pretty rough at first, but got much better as the course goes on. Assignments are very easy and not time-consuming at all. No book or attendance required, but show up to lectures as the information she discusses will be on her quizzes and tests.

She seems very tough at first, but she loosens up. As long as you do the assignments and dont bug her youll most likely receive an A. I would recommend going to lectures because her midterm and assignments are based off that and course readings usually

No textbook. She posts whatever content she's going to be discussing in her web-courses. You could probably get a B without ever going to a lecture, but I recommend going, they can be interesting. And it's a free A if you do. Not personally interested in cultural studies, but if that's a route you're pursuing then I don't think she's a bad choice.

Interesting class. Prof cares that students learn critical thinking and has fun material in class - no textbook. Some content might be controversial to some but get over it. Prof treats people like adults. If you show up and listen you will get an A

her class is very simple, hard to get lower than a B. she doesn't like if you use your computer for notes, so bring some paper and a pencil. her lectures are amazing and you will enjoy her class. be prepared to read the material before class and sometimes it can be lengthy. amazing professor and simple class.

Good class to take online. You have to read a bit, but most the reading is pretty interesting. Not too many assignments, the biggest thing is quizzes and they are super short.

Easy A. There was quite a bit to read but it was all fairly interesting and doable. Quizzes were taken right from the information she provided and there were weekly discussions about the modules. Great class to take online

As I took it online the mandatory discussions that were a significant part of our grades weren't too engaging but it's understandable. The material was enjoyable as it will probably open you up to a lot of things you may've never spent much time thinking about before. Overall, it was fun and easy.

Dr. Schippert is so sweet, and her class is very informative. Get ready to read at times, unbearably jargon-y texts but the quizzes are easy, and she has reached out multiple times to give me good feedback throughout the semester. An easy A if you're willing to do the reading and participate in the discussion posts, which aren't that demanding!

Great professor and class. Easy material to comprehend and grades really easily.

Awesome teacher! Class is so simple, quizzes are low in points. Class is mostly based off of opinionated discussions. Please if you are deciding upon this class and a teacher, take it with Claudia!!!

Super easy. Quizzes are only a few points, but there is quite a lot of them. Most of the grade is through discussions based on the readings and opinions. The class has interesting topics which made the work easier to do.

So, this class is HELLA READING. Be ready to read texts that can wind up tedious, even though the topics is otherwise very interesting, due to the length+vocab. If you can handle that though I highly recommend this prof and class. Prof is very kind and accessible. Most assignments are discussion posts about your opinion of the texts + easy quizzes.

Great professor, caring and responds quickly to questions. Lots of (easy) discussion posts and quizzes for each reading, but some weeks had A LOT of content in the reading. I don't like reading, but it was easy enough; the topics were interesting. The fieldwork report was easy too.

Although there was a lot of reading, you could just skim the text. Thats what I did. Also quizzes and discussion posts were very easy, just make sure to reflect for a long time. Super easy class though, got a 99

I really enjoyed Dr. Schippert's class! HUM2020 was very organized, which is always appreciated! The course is not difficult and was actually really interesting. Overall, this course is an easy A if you take the time to read, consider the information, and participate in discussions. I HIGHLY recommend this course if you need a humanities class.

Tons of reading to do, but fairly easy class. Every week do the reading, post in the discussion board, reply to people, do the quiz. The quizzes/final are the easiest things in the world, you'd have to try to fail them. Some questions would be like "who was the author of this week's reading". Assignments are graded on effort rather than content.

I took this course online to satisfy the GEP and it was a great course to take. The assignments were straight forward and consisted of a discussion and a quiz each week. Overall very light course to take and satisfies the GEP requirement.

Class was fun and entertaining, attending helps you retain information. I didn't even read or take notes and got a 98. Try on the discussion posts & reflections, they are kind of opinion based, but if ur answers make sense and are supported you'll get 100. There are 5 point quizzes every week but they are pretty straightforward, usually got 5/5.

Show up to class and enjoy the lectures. Professor Schippert did a great job in giving students the resources and allowing them to form their own opinion about topics that are entangled in current events. It was about 4 modules, with a discussion post+2 responses each time, with a quiz every week. Highly recommend this as a GEP

Show up to class and get everything done on time and you will be fine. Pretty interesting lectures and definitely some humor!
