I think she is an awesome teacher. She is really helpful but you really have to work hard for your grade. I learned alot from her class. She really makes anthropology interesting.The class consists of online tests and quizes.The tests are no joke you really have to study for them.As long as you keep up on the reading and study you will be fine.

I took this class instead of Bio, and had no interest but she is a really great teacher. She is so eager to help you and the tests are all online. Not too much homework, but enough to make a difference. Recommended!!

Took the class instead of Bio, and i loved it. Not a hard subject. Powerpoint lectures mostly, but she's really clear about what we need to know. All 4 tests are online, 1 group project, study guides are extremely helpful. Most of the test stuff comes from in-class notes. She's funny, and will take the time to explain anything. Take her!

Mostly lectures, small group projects, one major group project, 4 online exams, and homework assignments. Great professor, very clear, nice and very helpful!!!! Definitely recommend!!!

Very cool teacher. Be prepared to work and be able to have time to read the text. Extremely knowledgeable if this is your field of study.

Excellent! She is very straightforward in her tests, which were online,study guides, and what she expected 4rm u in the assignments. There was quite a few papers, and we had to go to 2 cultural events that related to the class,but it wasn't hard. Just read, show up to class and take notes from her powerpoint presentations. Interesting class as well

She is a great teacher. Having online tests is so much better than taking them in class. You get and hour and twenty minutes and I used every minute of it. I totally recommend it! I am a not the brightest and did not attend all the time and I still got a B.

Another star at old AVC! Amazing professor, not an easy A I also took her for 102, but Darcy is well the female Vento of AVC! You will leave the class with a great understanding of the subject and might even switch your major!

She is a good resource on the subject (she knows her stuff) but she has an unrealistic grading scale! Many people in my class failed and several were forced to drop. (like me)You have to make this class your entire world to get a good grade. (come on- its an INTRO class... really?!) The tests are unrealistic class average was a D on most of them!

She is an amazing person. I could sit and talk to her for hours, she is very knowledgable. But this class isnt an easy A i took it over the summer, and got a C and i worked for that C. It's very interesting to learn about where we came from. She is willing to help you as much as she can. I would recomend her if you want to learn about anthropology.

Darcy cares about her students and is a great resource.

This class is hard! Took over summer 2009 and a lot of students failed/dropped. However, she is a GREAT teacher and you will learn. A lot of group activities in the class, a couple papers, film review and online tests (loved that!). Attend every class and do ALL the work and you can pass. She is very helpful if you are struggling.

super awesome teacher. the class can be a bit hard, with the group project and all. but overall, she makes the subject interesting because she has so much experience going out and actually doing everything she lectures about.

It was a fun class i took it last semester as long as you do all the assignments and extra credit you'll be fine. And go to class participation counts

Its only been two weeks but i already love her to pieces. she is funny, smart, and very helpful and i am so excited for the semester(even if its a big bad intro class...dummies)

It is true you must work hard in this class,but I got and A pretty easily.Do not go take the boring teacher you will not learn anything from,instead challenge yourself to actually read the book,show up to class,and learn like they expect you to at a university!If you have trouble GO TO OFFICE HOURS!I have taken lots of profs.& she is one of the bes

MOST AWESOME teacher!If you are lazy, don't take this class.MUST read chapters and assigned readings. Not a lot of assignments, but the ones she gives take time and effort.Tests-do the study guide and you'll pass. You'll fail without her guide.She loves the subject and is fun to learn from, very passionate.She gives xtra credit-recommended to do

I took Wiewall for both Physical And Cultural Anthropology and I Love her! She grades hard, and expects you to do the work. So if you get a bad grade, its becuase your not putting fourth the effort. She makes her class very interesting, and teaches by sharing stories that relate with the topic! Take lots of notes, and do the study ?'s b4 the test!

Yes, her grading and tests are difficult, but there is so much to learn in this class. You can tell she still has a passion for what her subject is, which should help motivate you learning it. She sometimes goes off on personal stuff, but will get back on track. I recommend her

She's hard, but fair. Detailed, but not boring. You WILL work for your grade, but that's fine...and the whole point of higher education. She knows her stuff, and manages to make it exciting. Unless you want to go nuts, avoid this class in summer. She's helpful, and approachable. Another perk? She's nice to look at.

She was definitely a hard professor but I learned a lot. My major is Anthropology and at first I didn't think I was cut out for the major but towards the end of the class I realized that I retained a lot of the information that was thrown at me. If you are looking for an easy A, don't take her class, but if you want to learn I recommend her.

I absolutely loved this teacher! I got a B in her class, because I did the work. I took this class along with 4 other classes, and as long as you do the work, you will pass. Her tests aren't very hard at all, since they're online open book open note. I liked her teaching style. She kept me interested throughout the whole class. I recommend her!

Dr. Wiewall is very knowlegable and her class is challenging. Hardworking students do well. She is quite willing to help students who want to better understand the material. She does, however sometimes drop/mumble the end of sentences because she assumes her students know where she is going, which is not always the case, so listen carefully.

Awesome teacher, very respectful of EVERY student, will never turn any one with a question away and she lights up when you ask her questions. Her class is definitely challenging for a 101 class, but seeing her enthusiasm made it worth it. Greatest teacher I've ever seen.

Dr. Wiewall was fantastic. She is the reason I am an anthro major. Her class is definitely not an easy A though. You need to work for your grade but you learn so much. She is so experienced in her field and so insightful with every topic discussed. She is reasonable and energetic. I highly recommend.

Adore Dr. Wiewall! I have a 4.0 gpa and this is not an easy class. I truly had to earn my A, but that's a good thing. This is college folks. Even though she is tough, I intend to take Anth112 with Dr. Wiewall in the fall. She is just that awesome. I recommend her to serious students.

She is very helpful and really makes you work for your grade and her test are hard but you really just have to study and you will do fine. She makes class fun and enjoyable plus it doesn't hurt that she is pretty attractive.

Dr. Wiewall has to be in the running for the best professor a AVC. It's my second time taking one of her classes. Love this lady! Highly recommend her to students. I would take all of my classes with her if she taugh them.

Wiewall is a teacher that loves what she does. If you work 40hrs,have kids and other classes I would stay AWAY! She gives the recommended amount of study material and hmwrk load is heavy. Her test are hard she prefers paragraphs on the true/false so study and have a decent word per minute. I found her very helpful. If Anthro is your major TAKE her!

She has a wonderful personality; you will never get bored for long in her class. She has a passion for teaching which is nice for a change! However, her class is hard as hell. You take her exams on blackboard, which sucks! You have to type essay questions while the clock is ticking for the timed exam. Plan to study a lot if you want an A.

Wonderful instructor, easy to get along with. Her material is fascinating, her lectures informative. If you love knowledge and are up to a challange then she is the instructor for you. This is not an easy A, you must participate, do your assignments and study hard for as much as I love her I find her test are brutal.

Excellent professor, knows her subject well and has a passion she passes on to her students. However, if you expect an easy A then think again. Her expectations are high and her test are tense even though they are on blackboard. Love her and will have her again for thec3rd time next semester. Lets see if I can keep up getting A's from her.

She is passionate about what she teaches. Her tests are hard but if you study the fact that they are timed and on blackboard isn't an issue. I'm currently taking a second class with her because I enjoy the subject and I like her as a teacher. She makes it interesting. Don't expect an easy A. I had to work hard to earn that grade.

Not easy

It is a Friday the semester is over and all my finals are done. Well all except one. I am writing a paper and I have an online final due by tomorrow at 2 pm given out on tues of the same week. These are all for Dr. Wiewall. Having said that I love her classes I have taken three of them. If you have a desire to learn take her class.

Shes by far one of the best professors at AVC. Her courses may be difficult, but she teaches as close to UC level as you can get at a CC. You have to WORK for your grade, and that requires you to actually learn the material, but she is very passionate and knowledgeable about the subject. Anthro majors, TAKE HER! I took all her classes and loved it!

Needs to work upon her study guides for exams, or just give study guides would be a start. Otherwise than that, she has this rare talent that most professors lack at cc's, she makes you interested in the subject that is not your major. Not only was she understanding but also very helpful and easy to talk to. Take her and learn something.

this class was hard for a non major, I toke it for a g.e. if you are looking into it as well, do not unless you have time for a lot of work, reading, and have the interest in the subject. She is really nice and will help, it was just hard to manage with a lot of other classes and my job. Only half left towards end of semester, everyone else dropped

I love having with Dr. Wiewall as my instructor. She is very respectful and inspirational. The work she assigns is fair. Simply archaeology, anthropology and etc... collect data so you will be doing a lot of work but it's not difficult. She is strong, ambitious, honest, kind, and funny!

She is Wonderful teacher If you care about the subject. Her classes are hard but they are fair. She is enthusiastic and willing to listen and guide. Her class got me to change my major to anthropology.

Exceptional professor at a community college level. I took her 101 class in Summer of 2016 and fell in love with her enigmatic teaching style, so I added Anthropology as a second major. I have now nearly completed 6 courses with this professor and the knowledge I have obtained is priceless. Exams are not tough if you read the material.

Probably my favorite teacher this semester. She gives off an air of being both a scholarly professional and a relatable and passionate human being. It is plain to see that she has an authentic love for the field she studies and she has a skill for presenting the virtue of anthropology. Lots of reading to be done which is mandatory for test taking

She is a great teacher! Everything is clearly outlined in her syllabus. As long as you follow along and go over the labs before and after class (for the test) you will do just fine. If you don't review the lab before each class it is hard to finish in the 1 hr for class. Test questions are usually in the completed labs, so go over them.

Shes very knowledgeable on the subject and makes the class interesting

If you are lazy/don't want to work outside of class, don't bother. You are expected to come to class prepared; if you do not keep up with the reading you won't know whats going on in the lectures. Her classes are great if you plan on continuing your education past the community college level. Accessible outside of class offers extra credit.

This professor will open doors to ideas you were not familiar too. I learned a lot throughout this class. The class has a lot of assignments but because of the teaching style of this professor you won't feel them. Just be prepare to do a lot of work. Earning an A in this class does feel more satisfying because you walk out it knowing more than most

The overall class was new but it was quite informative. The class really does breakdown the relationship between Latin America and the Caribbean. It introduces essential elements that made up LAC and also how its relationship with the U.S. has affected it. It's a great class to take. Not a lot of assignments I would say and make sure to read.

Dr. Wiewall is one of the best prof. and mentors I've had! Make sure you put in effort with any course you take with her- do the readings, study, and participate in class and you'll do well. She can be a tough grader but isn't unfair. Has great stories during lecture. She is very caring and passionate about Anthro. and is available for students.

Professor Wiewall was always available for extra help with the labs. There were about 2 labs to be completed each week, 4 exams, and a zoo project (done online bc of covid). She was always thorough in her explanations and provided any resources necessary for the labs. Very nice teacher as well, was always willing to answer any questions.

Professor Wiewall is an amazing professor. I will say you will need to get ready to read and write quite a bit because she does in class discussion on various articles. However, these articles are really interesting and you would want to talk about them. She will even talk about some stories she has on her journeys around the world!!!

Great professor, very friendly and will find ways to help accommodate you, if you need the assistance. Lecture heavy, just follow along and take notes. 3 main exams and 1 final 2500 word research paper at the end of the semester with a 10 minute presentation. Lots of reading and video watching, for the weekly assignments. Hard class but it was fun!

Holy moly guacamole...
