Don't read the books, go to class and listen to others talk about them, get an A

easy class, go take notes = easy A. gives the midterm and final answers to you

Easy exams, average quizzes, easy projects, as long as you follow what she says

Easy Freshman level class, but have to keep up with work in order to do well

A LOT of work. must go to class. do what she says for papers, or take an F.AVOID

VERY easy, but you need to attend each and every class for it to be that way.

must be in class to hand in hmwk...boring...

If you go to class and follow the way she wants things done , you can get an A.

Class may be boring.. just follow instructions, easy A

Strange, but she tries. Easy class if you pay attention and follow her rules.

Do exactly as she says and you'll get an A.

Go to class, take some notes, follow directions and you'll get an A

She's nuts, but class is so easy even a Phi Sig girl could get an A

do exactly what she says for everything and you're set, an A is no problem

really interesting, you gain real experience, easy A

Do exactly want she says = easy A, not a social butterfly

incredibly easy, way too anal about how she wants things done, what's up with the coudoroy pants in different colors?

funny lady....do what she wants and it's an easy A. spells out how to get a 100 on midterm and final.

This is the easiest class I've had here yet!! There are a lot of high school level homework assignments, But who's complaining....Take this class!!

Funny lady and easy A, but you have to go to class she takes attendence, easy assignments and tests. Overall good class!

really nice teacher, have to go to class, gives stupid easy assignments and extra credit, basically just memorize vocab from lectures and assignments and will do AWESOME

funny lady, lots of annoying little assignments...but a very easy grader, takes attendance frequently

Easy grader...easy class...easy A. She tells you EXACTLY what she wants to see on all of the assignments. If you follow her instructions...you will be fine. Lots of extra credit too!

Almost like a high school class. Lots of busy but easy work. She tells you exactly what she wants. Easy class overall.

Talks like she's being electrocuted by a low current, which is disconcerting. Required museum trip is kind of a pain.

Talks to us like kindergarteners. Assignments are designed for junior high school.

Very clear. Yes, assignments are kind of silly, but they are well-designed enough to get the point across, and you will learn what you need to know for the exams. Interesting class; a good pick for group requirements.

Easy A if you go to class and can write half-way decently. She can be neurotic, but you have to take her behavoir with a grain of salt.

Dr. N. is kind, welcomes questions and has lots of info to offer to the class. Very clear in assignments and demands the best from the students. She should be nominated for an award at the university!

Treats you like you're in 5th grade but also grades that way. She should've been an elementary school teacher. Do the busy work and go to class and easy A

tells you exactly want see wants written in essays. Lot of busy work but it makes you learn everything. Easy A. Take atleast one class with her.

Very easy class and teacher. She lets you know exactly what she wants from you from the very beginning of the semester. I would definitely take this class for an easy A.

Easiest class I've taken at UD so far. It's like a high school class. All you have to do is GO TO CLASS. She outlines the final exam in class for 3 weeks, and gives quiz questions in class.

Even though the fill-in the blank quizzes can be tougb at times, the essays, easy final exam, and extra credit opportunities will enable any student to get an A. Def recommend.

Don't be intimidated. I thought that she would be an impossible grader, but she is actually very fair. A lot of work in this class, but I got an A

Great teacher, goes over all the points you have to know and basically tells you what everything will be on. Not a hard grader as long as you put some effort into it.

Tells you exactly what she wants from you...over and over and over and over....take for group requirements, easy A

Seems intimidating but don't let her fool you. She tells you exactly what she wants, gives tons of extra credit points for those who come to and stay in class ( she WILL call you out if you leave in the middle ), and if you show up, its an easy A.

EXTREMELY EASY CLASS! i thought she was hilarious.you need the book, and you have to go to class to hand in homeworks. reading 3 books was kind of a pain.

Easy A, but collects homework on random days to make sure you're coming to class. Textbook is pointless. Most material comes from class notes and discussions. Quizzes and exams, decently easy. Lots of stupid extra credit, but worth it. 3 must-read books were the only downside.

definately go to class and do the extra credit=A+. she tests you on the same material over and over. shes weird but its an easy class.

The class is an easy, easy A. Def make sure that you go to class, she is really into attendance. And do the extra credit stuff! Just to keep your grade safe. If you go to class you will know exactly what is on the quizzes. And she tests you on the same stuff. Def take it as your multicultural!!

This is a very easy class, take it if you want an easy A for a group B requirement. There is a lot of busywork though (which really doesn't take that much time to do), and you must come to class, but if you're ok with that, then take the class. The tests are easy if you know the vocab and take good notes.

She makes the class very interesting and if you come to class, the textbook reading isn't really necessary. Also offers 2-3 extra credit assignments for up to 10-15 points so getting an A is easy and very possible. She's very clear and she's also pretty funny sometimes. Definately take her.

she is mad easy...i love her, even tho she doesnst call on me. She gives extra credit for comin to class on rainy days and to watch movies. ya take this women, her tests are remedial just memorize the definitions and youll be straight.

TAKE THIS FOR YOUR GROUP B REQUIREMENT!!! See her during office hours if u need anything, she will help u. If she is still using the Gary Ferraro Book buy the old (5th) edition on amazon its alot cheaper and its the same exact thing.

Very particular at grading, however the class is not difficult. There are a few very easy projects. The text book really isnt necessary. Go to class though b/c she hands out readings that will be used on the tests. Nice lady who is interested in the subject.

best class ive taken at this university. great teacher....you can tell she loves anthropology. Take this class if its offered!!!!!

Kind of a strange lady, but not a bad class. Tests are very Fair and not too hard. The mandatory books kind of suck, but once you start reading its not horribly boring. Assignments are not bad and she grades good. Very particular on spelling on tests. Overall, a good class-I got an A with not too much effort. Recommended.

I don't know how anyone could say this class was hard. The fact that she gives a lot of extra assignments HELPS your grade incase you don't do so well on the exams. She posts examples of grade "A" assignments on her website, so you know what she's looking for. I got a B+ in this class with basically no effort.

She means well, but expects a lot from students for a 101 class. It's possible to get an A without reading the 3 books because she gives so much extra credit.

She is a very good prof. Class is easy (though a little boring at times). She offers many different EC assignments. The readings can be boring but she goes over the material you need to know for quizes and tests right before it so if you go to class and study what she gives you, you can get a good grade without even reading the books. I got A's.

Dr. Neitzel is a caring and excited professor. She is a bit nutty, but she will be the first to laugh at herself. Yes, there is a lot of reading and she does takes points off for spelling, but this is college! She is helpful and attentive during her office hours and offers lots of extra credit so that anyone can do well, even poor spellers.

Anthropology of food - I liked the course and did well, but some students didn't - def. not an "easy A". She takes attendence, which is part of your grade. Exams were challenging, and there were multiple homework asmts/projects/papers. No grading rubric & few comments given for this stuff, so many thought wtf when they got their grades...

This class was easy but I didn't like her at all. TONS of extra credit so its an easy A, but i don't know if it was worth it. Lots of stupid busy work. 5 pop quizes but she drops one. Does not let you make them up even with a Dr note. Try and take anth with a different prof but it's not too bad if you get her. BTW, really annoying voice.

Easy grader, attendance required, voice can be irritatingly warbly but in all is nice enough. Interesting class with a few papers and fair tests. I recommend the class.

Class can be interesting sometimes. Material is not hard to grasp if you actually read! She goes over almost everything in class. Exams are very straightforward if you study. Lots of opportunities for extra credit. Easy A if you study & do the extra credit.

This class is not really an easy A. However, if you do the 50 pts worth of extra credit and get at least an 80 on both exams, then you should be fine, as long as you dont screw up the pop quizzes. Hint: look at the ones from the past semesters. They help a lot. The reading at the end is annoying though. Good final review system.

She seems like a nice lady, who seems very passionate about her field, but this class has a lot of busy work-hw's, little quizzes, projects besides the two exams. If she finds out you haven't done the readings, she will make you leave class& finish it. She also gave me attitude- I told her that I was interested in her class, but it wasn't my major

Wow, what a rude person! I remember talking to her on the first day about how I was interested in her class even though Anthro's not my major and she seemed cold and standoffish.Hard exams but a lot of busy work/extra credit makes up for it. Overall not a bad class, but not a very nice professor!

it was a pretty easy class, do the work, its not bad and you rack up points. she gives extra credit so take advantage of it. its an easy A as long as you put minimal effort in. to get an A just do all assignments and get in the 80s for the test and you're set!!! but she is rude if you're not in her major. she takes random attendance

Jill Neitzel is definately one of my favorite professors so far. She says to read chapters from the book, but as long as you go to class you don't really need to because almost every exam is based off of what we talked about in class. She's a fun professor who scatters her lectures with amusing stories, and a lot of videos. Definately take her!!!

Teacher is great! The tests are a little difficult...but she gives lots of assignments which helps you get an A in the class. ATTEND EVERY CLASS because all of the test stuff is from class..but overall great teacher and you learn a lot

anthro of food, very interesting. do the readings and the outlines she assigns. she takes attendance by collecting the homework. such an easy class, she's so clear as to what she wants you to do. a lot of little assignments to boost your grade. and take good notes, quizzes/exams rely heavily on what she says.

Nice woman overall, very easy to understand and she holds your attention well enough. Tests and quizzes are a little tough and most questions are straight from notes so go to class. Also, she gives a lot of extra credit opportunities, some of which you can only get is you go to class a certain day.

I laughed at my friends when I heard they signed up for Spring 2009...the class was ok, but for the most part boring. You only really need the book to get the definitions of terms...don't bother actually reading any of it, just copy the terms. Go to class and take good notes. Be prepared to be a bit flustered with the tests, they're generally hard.

gives way to much work for an intro class. we had to read four books, written assignments are due almost every class. there is extra credit though.

I took this class because I was really interested in archaeology and to fill the group requirement, however by the end of the semester I was dreading every minute of class. It is easy, but the exhibit review, in which you're required to visit a museum, was a total pain to deal with. Easy A, but more trouble than it probably was worth.

I'd recommend ANTH230 in Winter session to ANYONE. Great for a Group C, or a Multicultural Requirement. Gives extra credit. Funny lady! Very passionate about subject. Short, VERY EASY quizzes, final is watching a movie of your choice and writing a paper on it. Books are short and interesting, NOT textbooks. Easy A!

GO TO CLASS!!!! She give you everything you need for the tests. Tts are multiple choice/a few essay questions and she gives the essay questions to you prior. Very interactive with class and she makes it fun. If you have questions ask, she will answer you without making you feel dumb. Take this class with her if you get the chance!

She does a great job of moving along lectures and sometimes they are really funny, the gender role lectures comes in mind. However, even though the test are fairly easy and completely based on the powerpoints (I never read the book although she doesnt post them online), you have to essentially think like her in order to do well. Overall good class.

you really need to study for the 4 quizzes and attend class for the notes or just get the notes from other people. she says everything you need for them. other than that there are like 3 group essays that she will probably give you a 100 on and there is no final. TAKE HER IF YOU CAN.

If you are a hard working student and you go to class then you should take her. You have four tests, no exam and she feeds you what will be on the tests in class. As long as you go to class you do not have to do the reading that she tells you to. If you show up to class, and take notes, you'll get a good grade.

TAKE HER!!! Go to class, pay attention, take notes and you WILL pass the class with an A. 4 quizzes, 2 group papers, 1 group exam. She is really nice and helpful.

What an incredible woman! My friend and I took this class for a Group B and Multi-Cultural. We were pleasantly surprised with how easy everything was. We never fell asleep, we were always interested, she's hilarious, passionate, and a great speaker. I learned a lot of fun words, I'll probably get an A, the quizzes are MATCHING :) Take this class!!!

go to class & you'll get an A. no final exam, only one exam which is a group exam that consists of a paper. 4 quizzes, matching. she's not boring. easy group requirement

Overall easy class. Take the final "group exam" (your final) as soon as possible, I got 100% on mine and it is saving my grade. She's a little nuts, but she gives you all the info you need for the tests, which are all matching. Gives ample extra points besides quizzes which is nice.

Neitzel is a very nice lady. She comes off as crazy at first, but she is very helpful. The class ended up being very interesting. I suggest you go to class and do the readings because then the quizzes are very, very easy. Overall, pretty fair course. No final just 4 quizzes and a group paper. Take this class with someone you know for the paper.

Class is very easy if you actually pay attention. You should do the reading but if you don't just take really good notes. She comes off as insane but she's actually really nice when you get to know her. Go to her office hours. 4 matching exams and one good project. Probably a good idea to make friends in that class.

Neitzel is a little annoying and cranky when she teaches, but with that being said, she does a decent job. Lectures are somewhat interesting and she gives all the information needed to do well on quizzes. Attending lecture is essential to getting an A. Reading every once in a while may help, but it is not as vital.

I took the online class over summer. Decent amount of reading: text + 2 novels (1st is okay, 2nd is AMAZING). Writing: 9 blog posts + 2 short essays - simple topics, apply concepts to real life. 3 matching quizzes - not just terms + definitions! MUST watch lectures + do reading! She explains stuff really well. Do the work + you'll get a good grade.

She makes the class very interesting and is clear on the information you need to know for the test. It is a big lecture class but she does a nice job of incorporating everyone. Anthro is a lot of new information but if you keep up with it its relatively easy. However; she doesn't know how to work a youtube video for her life.

She is so funny! She really cares about her students and wants them to do well. Tests are pretty hard, but as long as you pay attention you'll be ok.

I took this online course in the summer so there was quite a bit of work to complete in short period of time. Professor Neitzel was responsive and accommodating to email requests. If you do the work and pay attention, you will earn an A. I learned so much about myself through this course.

Gives a good amount of extra credit. Only have to read the books for class attendance so not that important to have. No final, only 3 tests (matching & 2 short answer) and a paper. Tests are straight from lectures so go & take good notes. Somewhat annoying & doesn't know how to use a computer well. If you put in some effort you can get an A or B.

She is a bit condescending towards the class, and I will not lie, her voice is very annoying, but she does a great job for a 100 level class. Copy down everything she puts on the powerpoint, it shows up verbatim on the test. Books aren't necessary, but will help you get extra info to put on the essay portion of your tests. Easy A and no final! :)

I thought this class was extremely difficult. There is a large work load, and you have to take great notes or you won't do well on the test. It's a verbal course. There is hardly any material written on the slides and she doesn't post them online. Tests are impossible. Even if you know what you're doing, the questions are vague.

Huge workload. We had to read three different novels throughout the semester. They were boring and we had about a week to read each one. I read all three books but there was only one question about it on the exam which was so frustrating.

Professor is very clear and helpful. But grades hard. Exams are a bit difficult. Matching options are hard to understand. Attendance is mandatory, she does not post notes online(unless she can't access the videos) or has course capture. Sometimes had extra credit during class.

I took Anth344 for an upper level breadth as an engineering with absolutely no interest in the class. I put pretty much no effort and if I had tried a little could have gotten an easy B if not A. Despite me not trying at all Neitzel is a likeable lady and cares about her students.

I really liked this class. The only thing that sucked was that it was at 8am and attendance is pretty important unless you know someone who can give you the notes. She has three tests (including the final) and 2 projects. She also gives opportunity for extra credit.

She is an excellent professor. So friendly, nice, and helpful. This course is very interesting and inspirational. No exam, definitely take it with her!!!!!!

I didn't find the class extremely difficult as long as you do most of the work. She assigns a lot of readings and homework, but she goes over most of the information in class so it isn't necessarily essential that you do it. She is passionate about the subject and she wants you to do well, but she is very picky. Make sure you take good notes!

jill really knows her stuff and wants her students to succeed, shes a little nutty but means well. lots of hw assignments that are sometimes annoying but can really help your grade. exams arent too bad- matching & free response. shes not a super hard grader but dont expect an easy A. no online notes and she gives pop quizzes, so go to class!!

I took this over winter session online because I heard it was a harder course to take in person. It ended up being pretty easy. 3 quizzes that are multiple choice, a couple papers, she gives extra credit, and the final is a paper. Overall if you watch the power point lectures and take notes you will be fine. The papers are straight forward!

probably the most boring class ever, only reason to take it is that covers group 1 breadth and multicultural requirement. Exams are easy if you study the quizzes she gives every class. did not read any of the assigned books. plenty of oppurtunity for extra credit. Put little effort, got an A

ANTH232 This class totally changed my views on the world and cultures around me. Its half chinese and american students mostly. Hopefully a few middle eastern students join your semester as well. Jill is an amazing teacher, you just have to go to class. Good news is there are no tests. However, you do have to do blog posts in facebook

i hate ANTH but the class was fine! so many opportunities to raise your grade. JUST GO TO CLASS! everyone that is negatively reviewing that is their issue. if you go to class she gives you hints about exams. there are days when you are assigned to take a quiz (easy 10 pts) and all of the quizzes are on the exam so thats easy. shes weird but FINE

This class was extremely easy! If you go to class and participate, you'll pass! The only homework is to register a Facebook account and she will post prompts that you need to answer in the private 'ANTH232' group. You will then have to comment at least 15 times overall. Easy A. There are no lectures or exams, you just need to participate in class.

Really nice professor. She had a lot of small assignments throughout the semester but it helped buffer the quizzes and papers. The class was super interesting. There were 4 textbooks and we had to read them all cover to cover but they were interesting books! I liked the format of the class and the professor was amazing at giving feedback! 10/10

Winter class that was very well-structured. I was skeptical of online learning before this, but she spreads out assignments very well and I didn't feel sidewinded by any deadlines. The only professor who actually teaches you well with online message boards. Only negative is her quizzes read like a crossword puzzle with really vague definitions.

ANTH101 is not for you if you don't like reading and learning about culture. It is a challenging course, but extremely engaging and you will get out of it exactly what you put in (do not expect grade inflation or an "easy A"). The quizzes are not impossible if you do the (many) readings - in fact, they are quite clear and easy if you prepare well.

If you want an A in this class there is a lot of reading like 3 hours or more a week, but what you read and the documentaries you watch are so rewarding its worth it. Her essay grading is fair and relatively easy as long as you put some work in but the quizzes are tricky, you have to know minute details for it so they're tough

This year was complicated because she was absent for most of the semester because of sickness. That said, she's super sweet and cares about what she's doing, and she deeply cares about all of her students. If you care, she'll care and try to help you out to the best of her ability. However, her tests are pretty complicated and confusing so beware.

The year was tough she was in the hospital for almost all of it but that being said I really did like her as a professor. She really cares about the material and wants you to do well. Her quizzes are actually impossible tho matching but such small differences in the answers.
