Graduate TA but very knowledgable. She is really smart and her class is really interesting. The tests aren't too hard but it is difficult to get an A because she doesn't curve.

She is very helpful but her grading is a bit bizarre sometimes with what she expects. Her British accent always makes class seem interesting.

Pushes students to read the book as a reference. Her powerpoints are crammed with photo's and diagram. Class discussions helped me alot. Always helpful in offcie hours. Some of the theory is a little dry, but I guess that always is.

No Comments

Her notes are typed-not off the internet (saw them in office hours!) You don't have to use PPT for every class, listening and interacting are just as important as looking at PPT:) Using the book as a reference worked well. Her foreign perspective got us thinking about another POV; smart lady.

She goes through the slides faster than most of us can write and that is a little annoying, but other than that this class was not too terrible. I didn't expect an A, I am not very good at memorization. I am hopeful that I will get a B or maybe B+. And I guess I am the only person who thinks she is kind of sexy in a sort of brainy chick way.

I don't know what all the negative comments are about. IN my class she was thrilled when we got above average on the test and gave more A's than are usual. Her handouts are great, and office hours are also good for making sure you inderstand what's what. She told us many times, "if I teach it, it could be on the exam" - so no surprises at all.

Very Interested in the material and willing to help.

Very entertaining and insightful- this class covered a lot of material but Jules did a great job with keeping it managable.

Interesting, informative. Really helped me to see things from a new perspective and realize how ethnocentric we can be without knowing it. Tests were fair--taken from the articles we studied. She posted questions online for us to study from. Would have preferred to have a textbook, but it is a class about the contemporary world...

Great class, great GTA. It's unfortunate that the material (which was really interesting) was wasted on students that mostly had no interest in learning about those less fortunate than us here in the USA and were only taking the class because it was required. Encouraging to see a Prof. take their job seriously. Attendance is highly encouraged.

Lots of reading about diverse subjects and questions from readings are posted on a website and these questions are on exams too. She is very STRICT about attendance, but if you don't go you miss quizzes, notes and ideas etc. Sometimes the subjects are very depressing, but I guess not all course can be happy. She knows alot and seems nice.

If you want to do well in this class be prepared to attend class and pay attention. Jules was willing to answer questions and keep discussions on track. Some of what was covered was depressing but important to be aware of. Would reconnebd for serious student only.

She was very helpful to alot of people from what I saw, and the grades are based on whether you got a question right or not; that's simple. The depressing matrial is really not her fault, that's reality for you. Go to this class for some eye-opening stuff. If you don;t study or go to class, expect a bad grade.

What is wrong with you people? Blaming the TA for a depressing class? Blaming her when you get a bad grade cos you didn't come to class? God forbid when you get a real job the boss will actually want you to come to work and do unhappy jobs for apaycheck. Should college always be fun and entertaining - go work at Disney land.

i loved this class! jules was always so willing to meet and help with whatever you were having a problem with. the only problem i really had was staying alive for the entire hour and 48 minutes without a break.

I liked her. She's enthusiastic and helpful. She has relatively high standards for performance which is reflected in her tests. But I didn't think they were too hard. Don't take her if you're looking for an easy A; however, if you are interested in getting something out of a GEC and aren't painfully stupid, you'll like her.

If you are just interested in showing up for an A then don't bother with her classes. She makes you work at getting a good grade - but isn'tthat good? As for the previous comment - you have to show your true value thru your work, what else is there to grade? Tough teacher, but you get alot out of it

I learnt alot. thanks

This class was fun, and you got to meet alot of experts. I thought this was a place for students to find out about a class? Can we please talk about the class and not have private conversations?

You can bring one page of note to the exam. However, the exams were not easy.

Considering most of the bad reviews are posted 5+ years ago, I think her teaching style is no longer the same. Attendance is not mandatory, yet if you attend regularly she will be more likely to bump your grade up. Overall good teacher, straight forward exams. Biggest help is reading the textbook.

Dr. Angel likes to present most of her lectures verbally, with minimal powerpoint notes so you must pay attention in class or your notes will suck. The book isn't stressed at all in class but is helpful to read through when studying for exams. Attendance is mandatory! She is a really nice lady, so go to office hours right away if you're struggling!

I don't know what to make of previous comments, but Dr. Angel is a great teacher. Attendance is mandatory and she can be a stickler at grading, and while we never used the book, it's all I studied from bc her notes are sparse and she gives most information verbally. She isn't a cultural anthropologist and gets her tests and notes from a supplier.

Cool class with lectures by different experts. There's alot for an intor class, but that is usually the case. Have to keep up tho!

Neat class; good professor. Do the work, get agood grade!

Cool class, always had a break in the middle. Asks alot of q's in class so it's not all lecture.

A lot of stuff to learn, but good class.

Good class, nice prof.

Experst come into class to teach each subject; some are good some are not. Angel corrdinates the class; we were never without a lecturer-she did not come some days as she was out doing forensic work, but there was a sub TA. As for her TA emailing, I guess he knows the content and so doesnt need to take notes?easy pts doing take home study q's

Tough class but interesting; some lecturers are not great others are good. do the work and you will get a good grade.

Jules was a great professor. I took her honors anthropology course, which was the first time they offered it with a lab component. The course has some quirks that need to be worked out, but Jules was extremely helpful and willing to explain anything. Doesn't use textbook at all. Great class, not the easiest but I would definitely recommend Jules.

I took the 2201H class. The professor was interested in the material, but was unclear in lecture. STUDY for the exams well in advance -- they are HARD. There were very little points offered, making this an extremely hard class. If you're looking for an easy-A GEC this is NOT the class you should take. My GPA took a beating after this class.

She helped me alot during office hours.

She makes you think not just learn - why is that so bad. Mainly haters on here t seems

This class was good - we had discussions about current stories, videos, and used the web to find out stuff nobody knew. Loved it!

This class was one of the toughest AND most rewarding classes at OSU. Work hard & go to class, you will get an A. Her expectations are a little confusing at first but go to office hours & demonstrate that you're trying she'll help you understand. Problem is that many students want things handed to them. This is truly a university level course

She's really interesting and seems like a super cool person. She seems to actually care about her students. That being said, I feel like she makes the class unnecessarily hard. She says "she doesn't teach the test," but she writes the tests...Also, you MUST go to class to do well, she's super strict about attendance.

The experts have good stories about cases - some are tough tho. Do everything the syllabus says or you won't pass. Not easy, but why should it be

liked it - loads of experts to talk to

lots of homework but we had no classes

Labs were graded on participation, over 50% of overall grade consists of labs/easy prelab quizzes, exams could be difficult due to lack of study guide but were fair

Prof. Angel was a joy to learn from. She was obviously an expert in the field and had a myriad of interesting stories and jokes to go along with her lectures, all of which were clear and easy to follow. The textbooks she uses are good supplements to the course, but if you go to the lectures you can be guaranteed a good grade. Easy labs. Great class

I really enjoyed this class with Dr. Angel. She is really sweet and very funny. Her lectures were always very interesting, and she does grade attendance. She gives very little homework, with one assignment per week that is not difficult at all. Her exams can be tricky.

Dr. Angel makes Anthropology accessible and engaging. She does give study guides for tests, so test prep can be difficult, but labs and prelabs serve as buffers for your grade. She is very helpful if you ask for help. But you have to ask! You cant expect to have your hand held through this class.

The book wasn't needed; anything on the test was covered in class. Dr. Angel is very knowledgeable and personable, so if you have questions, ask! Be prepared for lots of note taking and memorization.

Brings in outside lecturers, which I enjoyed. The exams include a wide range of information but if you're well prepared you'll be fine.

Not sure why there is so much negativity about Dr. Angel. She is funny and will tailor the class to what you want to talk about. She doesn't give a study guide for her tests but the material comes from the notes (not the readings) and I did not struggle much with them (although I had some anthropology background). Lots of opportunities for points

Good choice for this class!

Tough but you'll learn alot.

Loads of info, loads of experts, work on a case throough class!!

Dr. Angel is my queen. She is clearly knowledgeable on the subject and has experience. She had many -isms that I found amusing and made lecture an enjoyable experience. No study guide, although the content is pretty much straight from the textbook. Tests are fair and hard; but, labs count for half of your grade and they're free points.

Lots of homeworks, but take home and loads of time to complete. Not sure why people didn't like this class. It was fine for the level and major.

I want to be an arcaheologist so this class was great info, and Dr. Angel was way helpful. I guess others here were not that into it.

Online is fine, pandemic and all that

Only two assignments (two exams) that focus on lecture content. All other points in class are easy story/presentation assignments. Online lectures are okay but she sometimes just reads through the PowerPoints. Exams were difficult if only the lecture notes were studied. Still not a hard course to do well in. Do your homework and attend Zooms.

Dr. Angel is very knowledgeable, but I will say she is a tough grader and the grading is not always consistent. if you email her about your grade, she is very kind about it, letting you know what you missed and is willing to give back points for any mistakes/confusions. zooms were very insightful, chatting with experts from diff forensic fields

Dr. Angel is th MVP, she calls us her "lovely students" and always asks about our day. Hardly spent any time working for this course outside of lectures. No exams, quizzes were fine, and the only other assignments were posting comments on lectures, making visual study guides, and occasional quizzes. Labs based on completion.

2200 Anthropology is a very easy class just do most of the work and it is mostly participation except for the quizzes. If you can do decent on the quizzes then you will be fine. She is a good professor

This class was pretty easy and enjoyable. The only grades are for the weekly culture "stories" that are easy to do well on and an open note midterm and final. It's mostly just lecturing but I found the subject matter interesting and Dr. Angel to be an engaging lecturer. There is technically a textbook for this course but you do not need to buy it.

Our TA was a tough grader, and the visual study guides account for too much of our grade for what they were, but overall an incredible class. Attendance wasn't mandatory, but I still went to every lecture because I enjoyed Dr. Angel. She's delightful and obviously passionate about teaching. Other than the visual study guides, a pretty easy class.

Dr. Angel was a great professor! Her lectures were very engaging, largely because her passion for the material really came through and created a welcoming, accessible classroom environment. The assignments for this class are relatively straightforward with clear expectations and are quick to complete. Be prepared to think outside the box on exams.
