She is great,helpful,and cares about her students. I loved her personality! great overall Professor.
Very interesting professor, the class is easy and fun. If you keep up with the powerpoints you will get an A and she makes sure you understand the material..Professors like her who are actually knowedgeable and interested in what they are teaching really benefit the students.
Great class, don't even need the book if you take all the notes. Fairly easy A if you study. One 5-6pg paper, a zoo field trip, and extra credit.
Great professor. Lots of note taking. Fairly easy midterm and final. If you study and attend class, you will get an A! One paper to write for the chimp observations at LA Zoo. Definitely recommend Jessica.
She is awesome! I highly recommend her! She makes the lectures fun and interesting. Also the textbook is very interesting to read. Extra credit trip to LA Zoo.
Loved Loved her class !! She is very funny and makes the class very interesting. Keeps you awake by making you take lots and lots of notes. Made learning fun !!
She is awesome. Makes class fun and very intresting. You must attend class to take lots of notes. If you show up, you'll get a good grade no problem.
3 exams and 1 interview. 3 textbooks used. She give extra credit on the exams. She does offer other extra credit in class. Come to class on time because sometimes she give extra credit for attendance. Test are based on lecture mostly, but some are in the txtbk. It is all about memorization. She makes the class entertaining.
She's funny, smart, and sexy. She gives out 3 exams. I dont understand why she gave me a b+ if I did really good on the tests and assignments so she can be a strict grader. Just attend class, take notes, read the books, and you'll do great!
VERY FUN TEACHER. MAKES THE CLASS INTERESTING. ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY. SHE WONT POST POWERPOINTS ONLINE SO YOU LITERALLY HAVE TO WRITE DOWN EVERYTHING ON NOTES. IF YOU MISS ONE CLASS YOU'LL MISS OUT ON A LOT. SHE HAS 1 QUIZ, 1 MIDTERM, 1 PRIMATE PAPER, 1 VISIT TO LA ZOO & 1 FINAL. READ BOTH BOOKS & ATTEND CLASS & YOU'LL DO FINE.
Super nice, super cool, and super funny. Makes the class interesting and fun. I will take her again.
recommend her, makes the class very interesting and has student-teacher discussions that makes the class understand the concepts ...over all FUN class, i definitely enjoyed it!!
Her class is not that easy. Her midterm and finals are tricky. She gives a study gude but only half of the questions are based on the study guide which means that you need to study every thing not just what is othe study guide.
Easiest class ever! If you have taken other Anthro classes or even Womens studies, you should already know half the stuff she talks about. you're graded on one interview of a friend, a cultural community project/paper, two midterms and a final. Shes funny so you will probably remember all the stuff she talks about! good professor and easy class!
Easy class. Really simple zoo project. (go to the zoo on the days she is there so she can help you). exams are really easy. must be in class to take notes because she doesn't provide the powerpoints online. book is an easy read.
Great Professor. Super easy class. Didnt have to read the textbooks (but they are cheap). 2 test and a paper, we went on a field trip to the zoo!! lecture was interesting just a lot of writting. I highly recommend
She reminds me of Heather McDonald from the Chelsea Lately crew! She's fun and a really effective professor. She's confident when she teaches and I love her teaching style. Only problem is that lectures are not posted online so you must show up. Exams are based off what she lectures so take notes! I studied notes and got an A in the class :)
Awesome teacher her lectures are interesting and fun you will learn a lot she is very energetic very clear about the subject & always prepared for the class one midterm one final multiple choice (not hard), the key is to pay attention in class to her lectures that is the best study guide also a fun paper love her i took 310, 338 i wish i could more
She makes the class more interesting.
Creed shares very fun and interesting lectures. There's only 2 papers, a mid-term and a final. Do the reading if you want a decent score on the test. She grades the papers lightly so if you follow instructions you'll most likely get A on your paper. Overall fun class and highly recommended if you're not afraid to socialize.
very interesting class, and the best GE class you can take. She is fun and clear, and even though attendance is not mandatory you will not miss a class.
Your standard power point based lecture hall class. Not hard. DO NOT waste your money and time on the 3 textbooks. 100 percent of the exam questions are directly from the lecture notes.
simply great!..you will enjoy her classes, no joke. and i'm not even an anthropology major and have taken her 3 times
Hmm..exam questions are all from powerpoint slides. Fun class with the exception of her not posting the slides online. Must attend every class to copy notes. 1 hour zoo trip..wasn't that bad.
Hands down my favorite class I've ever taken. Everyone is saying she is easy, that's beside the point. She is an effective professor and makes sure to answer all questions. There was a student that always tested her and interrupted class with personal issues and she handled it very professionally answering all of their questions. I recommend! :)
Way too much notes to copy. She dont post the powerpoint online so i have to go to class to copy. Test is all from the powerpoints. Test is just memorize the stuff from the powerpoint and you do good. There is one hour zoo trip to look at monkeys.
She is the best professor I have ever had. She is funny and her way of teaching is not boring. The material is too much but she explains them really well. Take her you wont regret it.
Professor Creed is the BEST CSULA PROFESSOR on campus, MARK MY WORDS! Loved her Anthr. 338 course, learned so much from that class and really grateful to have a passionate & witty professor like her to teach it. CSULA should seriously hire more professors like Professor Creed. TAKE HER YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!! :D
the class is easy, field paper, two tests, one interview paper. there is plenty of ec opportunities, she's energetic and funny, lecture based, a minute or two of discussion among students on some occasion, i got through this entire class without reading any book but idk you might want to have them handy just in case, i'd recommend her
ANTHRO IS NOT MY MAJOR, JUST AN ELECTIVE. LOTS&LOTS OF MATERIAL COVERED, BUT SHE DOES A GREAT JOB EXPLAINING, THAT I EVEN REMEMBER WHAT I LEARNED UNTIL THIS DAY. SHE IS SO FUNNY AND KNOWLEDGEABLE. SHARES HER OWN STORIES TO HELP YOUR UNDERSTANDING. BOOKS NOT REQUIRED. NO POWERPOINTS ONLINE BECAUSE SHE WANTS YOU TO GO TO EVERY CLASS. DUH!!
shes pretty! straight forward easy class. 1 interview with friend, midterm, 1 term paper, and final. traditional - powerpoint lectures. class is not hard, book is barely used. gives study guide before midterm/final, watch videos occasionally. overall, great and easy professor
Class is pretty easy, straight forward, and comprehensive. Attend lectures, take notes (suggest to take a laptop since you need to write everything that is on the slides. The exams consist of multiple choices in which they are based on whats on the lectures! You also need to attend a mandatory visit to the zoo and a fast food and write 5 pages.Easy
Amazing professor! Does an amazing job explaining the material, and will go out of her way to help any student. Straight forward class; friend interview, field paper, midterm, final. Lectures are mandatory (95% of mid/final questions from lectures). Never read the book, barely studied for mid, didn't do EC, & walked away with B+. Take her!!!
Loved her! Prof. Creed is wonderful instructor! Powerpoints are very detailed and her lectures are insightful. She takes time to give examples from today's topics. I Took this class to satisfy the Gender Theme but now have an appreciation for Anthropology. Rarely used the book, paid more attention to lectures and earned a B.
She's super funny! I loved her class, she would make jokes & tell stories her class was not boring at all. I loved that we went to the L.A Zoo for a class project! Great professor would definitely take her again!
Such a pleasant personality. Very funny and animated. I loved her teaching style. She was very engaging and covered course material effectively. I am not very into Anthro but enjoyed the class simply because she made it fun and interesting. Definitely recommend her.
Don't take this class. Professor is very bias against family units, and against any traditional male/female roles. I am all for equality and tolerance, but that has to work both ways. All she does is incite negativity between sexes- I would like to know her goals, or if she just enjoys spouting anger on her soap-box about her own past issues.
VERY sweet, cool, and energetic. You will fall in love with her, guaranteed! She makes the class more than just enjoyable and tries to make everything as easy as college courses can allow. Quite a lot of notes but you'll be thankful to take them when midterms and finals roll around. Just go to class, pay attention, read a bit and you'll be good.
She's great! Very energetic and does her best to keep you awake. Loves what she does and teaches it very clearly. One midterm,one final, one essay.
Passionate about what she teaches. One midterm, on final, one essay, and offers extra credit. She is very clear and very helpful if needed vis office hours and email. I took her for 310 as well, and she was great.
Great professor. She is pretty funny and makes overall class very interesting. A 2 page paper, a 5-7 page paper, midterm, and final. Provides study guide and extra credit. Replies to emails very quickly and answers all questions. Would highly recommend.
Great anth professor. She is pretty funny and makes overall class very interesting. A 2 page paper, a 5-7 page paper, midterm, and final. Provides study guide and extra credit. Replies to emails very quickly and answers all questions. Would highly recommend.
She's not mean...she's nice. Class is fun. You don't have to read because she goes over the reading in class. She gives extra credit so attend class! There's a project but it's super easy. Exams are okay...
She is nice/friendly, HOWEVER her tests are all over the place. She gives you a study guide, & nothing on the test is from study guide! Her lectures are unorganized and slides are copied from wikipedia, and have typos. Yes she's very nice and funny, but bad at her job.
This Prof is amazing!!! She truly enjoys her job and it shows.. power points are not posted so you have to write everything down but the class is fun and you will learn so much. Best theme class ever
Very nice professor! She makes class very interesting and fun to be in. Class isn't mandatory but you should go bc she does not give out powerpoints. Grade consists of 1 miterm, 1 fieldwork project (two papers and a kinship diagram), & final. Offers extra credit as well. Gives out study guide but you really need to read the book to do well on exams
Changes the pitch of her voice in an attempt to be funny but it just comes off as annoying. Also imitates accents in the most cringe worthy way. Very dry, boring subject.
Just take her!!!! Great class!
Great professor! She makes the class fun and she is pretty funny. You do have to read a lot, but it's very easy and interesting reading. One midterm, two easy papers, and one final. And she offers extra credit. Really recommend taking her!
Love the way she teaches !!!
Great professor, everything she talked about was really interesting! I thought it would be a boringhard class, but It was a pretty easygoing class. One simple project, one midterm and final. She's funny and gives extra credit!
Best teacher I had here. I took her 3 times for different classes and I loved them all. There's one big project for each class and like two tests but that's about it. She kinda looks like lana del rey so that's cool.
there is some reading invovled but the reading arent that bad. she does offer extra credit and its not that bad. I would take her again for another class.
Lectures are long, but she makes it fun and interesting. Two papers are given, but if you can write "I think this/I think that" you can not fail. Do not miss class lectures otherwise you will fail. Exams are easy and everything is provided from the lectures. Some information can be found online. Easy grade. You can not fail. Extra credit.
Her lectures offer great insights into some stuff in life. Material is organized into slides, and the exams come from those slides. So taking notes at lectures is a must for an A. Besides, she brings a lot of humor to the classroom.
Easy class. Just go to the lectures and make sure you take good notes. Don't buy the book. I bought it and never used it. 2 easy papers and 2 exams. She gives out a review sheet with keyword that you should study. Easy A.
Dr Creed is such a full of life professor, i had alot of fun in her courses. She was very into her lectures and made them fun and quite a laugh. There was no way people can get bored in her lectures. Exams were not to diffcult if you studied alot and payed attention Course Grade consist of 2 Papers, 1 Midterm and 1 Final, also Offers Extra Credit
she's really nice and cares about her students. lectures are entertaining so you won't be bored. theres 2 tests and 2 papers. the test are easy as long as you show up to class and take good notes, the tests are straight from her lectures and some videos she shows. honestly if you try, you will pass... good luck!
Best professor Ive had my entire college career. I almost wanted to change my major because of her. She is amazing. You will learn so much. If you do not attend class and pay attention you will be a little lost. But she's hard not to pay attention to. Her lectures are very charismatic, if you miss a class you will be sad! She's awesome! #JBCForPres
Shes awesome! She was one of my first professors and was extremely helpful and nice.
Honestly, one of the best professors I have ever taken. She is very passionate and VERY knowledgeable about her field. Very willing to help and is available to her students when needed. Totally recommend her without a doubt.
An amazing professor, words cannot explain how great of a professor she is. Approachable and sincere. I wish I would of taken Anthro 310 with her, but decided to take another class. Well, she offers 2 exams, midterm and final, 2 project paper, and offers extra credit, Presentation or donation of items towards a cause. Gives extra credit in exams.
Dr. Creed is amazing. She has so much knowledge about the material, always goes that extra step to make sure her students understand. I recommend recording her lectures and then go back to fill in extra information in the notes (it might be on the test). 1 quiz, 1 paper, 1 midterm, 1 final. I learned so much this quarter, TAKE HER while you can!
Without a doubt, the most passionate and the most knowledgeable university professor that I have ever met. She's also hilarious, genuinely sincere, and will never take more than an hour to respond to an email. Even if you have zero interest in anthropology, like I did, she will make the material exciting for you. Very easy and fun class!
Talks about cross-gender roles and makes it interesting. Easy class and sometimes gives out a secret word as the extra credit for the exams. Exams are based on her lectures, so take notes. Very approachable, nice and funny. Would recommend to take her if you need an anthropology class.
one of the worst teacher I ever had in my life
The class was easy and most people did not show up. But the lectures were interesting and she organized her thoughts really well. There was a decent amount of work. We needed to do activities outside of class and write papers and present on them. We also had to write a 8-10 page research paper. But as long as we turned them in, we would get an A.
Great professor. She is lecture heavy but she makes them entertaining and fun to be in. She will make concepts and such relevant to today. She does have office hours and encourages everyone to come, if they can't then she is available through emails. There is a lot of reading but it is relevant to her lectures. It is important.
I want everybody to know how great Dr. Bodoh-Creed is. Her examples and stories explain the concepts and terminology so well that you learn in this class whether you like it or not. She fosters her students' learning. That is why all students love her! She is smart, funny, and drop-dead gorgeous! Leaving this class makes you feel like a new person.
1 quiz 1 midterm 1 paper and 1 final. She doesnt take attendance but attendance is req. for lecture notes! she does not post them on moodle. Quizzes and Exams are based on lecture as well as req. texts. You really got to read to understand the topics discussed in class Overall she's an amazing professor at CSULA! You wont regret taking her class
Forced to take this because of the themes. A very snippy and rude lady. She thinks she is the Amy Schumer of CSULA. Her lectures are pretty much her trying to get a laugh out of everyone. Yes the class is about gender but she barley covered abuse, human trafficking and sweat shops. 2 papers, 2 test. Don't miss class she doesn't post lectures online
Lectures are never boring and very interesting, you will definitely learn something new every day. First quiz is hard, but the rest of the quizzes are easier. Term paper is very easy, it is based on your opinion. She offers extra credit. She is there if you have any questions. I would definitely take her again.
She really enjoys what she does. This subject is not that interesting but she gets really into it. Exams are extremely difficult so take great notes on what she lectures, NOT just the power point presentations. She will test you on the examples she uses. Overall great professor
My favorite teacher! Her lectures were funny and very engaging. I've taken 310 as well... both classes have a mix of papers and tests. No attendance points, but exams are based off of PPts (not uploaded online) and lectures. Study guides were accurate to the tests. Always write down what she says during lectures, study and you'll do well.
this is a easy class can get boring at times but overall her jokes are funny and she is very real the first exam was the easiest but the final two you really had to study the study guide to help you but it is a easy class highly recommend her
She's pretty funny lol. Lectures are based on PP slides (not online) and they're pretty interesting but can be boring at times. This can be an easy class just make sure to attend since exams are based off PP slides & what she says (make sure to take good notes). 2 interviews, 1 paper, 2 midterms, 1 final
1st exam was the easiest, 2 interviews, 1 final. Pay attention during the lectures & take good notes! If you don't go to class you definitely will not pass. 1 book you MUST read but I read 1/2 of it and still managed to get a B on the final exam. Offers an option for Xcredit, accessible office hours, is funny and overall class is not too difficult
If you have other options, do not take her. The class is boring and dry. You will get C. She expects you to know everything she lectured. That is crazy. Do not take her.
Her exams are all based on her powerpoints. She offers extra credit as well. She is very cool and easy going. Her lectures are pretty interesting. She has 3 exams. The first and third were the easiest. It is very possible to pass her class. Just take great notes (laptops are useful) and read the assigned readings.
i have taken her before for another anthropology class and it was the exact same thing just 2 write up assignments with a easy guideline to follow. one midterm and a final multiple choice since it was online open book which was super easy. is really hard to fail. you do have to get a book but its a easy read and just check in for announcement
Prof. Bodoh-Creed was honestly one of my favorite professors. I liked her phys anthro class so much I came back for her anthro of gender class. She helped me learn a lot about LGBTQ+ identities around the world and throughout history. I highly recommend her if you are open-minded. Really don't understand where all the complaints are coming from lol
Barely used the book. She made us do an activity or two every week and at the end of the term it did not even count towards your grade at all. So basically everything you did the whole semester was for nothing. Readings were very boring.
This class is passable if you do the readings. The readings aren't that long (1-5 pages a week). The course is heavily based on the book and readings. The assignments throughout the course were very simple and fun. The professor will give corrections if submitted early.
caring and really wants us to all pass. class didn't really seem necessary because she didn't provide us with new information. the class was mostly boring but some aspects of it were really helpful.
I'll be honest she is more of a grade school instructor. Meaning she acts like a high school teacher. But otherwise, the assignments she gives are pretty darn easy. She can be interactive as well. If you need help on any of the assignments message her on Canvas, she will respond quick. But I would not recommend this instructor.
AMAZING PROFESSOR! Definitely recommend! She is very knowledgeable about everything she lectures about and has actually traveled to the places she mentions. Super interesting lectures and her assignments are helpful and not difficult. Class consists of weekly discussions, midterm, final, and 2 final papers. They are easy and based off the lectures.
Dr.Bodo-Creed was definitely one my favorite professors! She is clear on what needs to be done and helps you understand college life. She is very helpful and caring. Most of her work is also online and she is a great email responder and grader! My grade was a 100% all semester. Just DONT skip assignments!!!
Don't think twice and take this class. Honestly, it's a class we should all take as soon as possible because it offers a wealth of tips and information about resources in the field. It will help you improve your practices to excel academically and professionally.
My favorite professor at CSULA! I am a business major but I wish I had minored in anthropology just to take more of her classes and dive into the subject more. Normal workload, discussions, quizzes, midterm, final, and individual group project.
