Interesting class

very informative structured lectures; a challenging yet interesting class

Very good. Clear lectures. Easy tests.

She brought ideas and ways of thinking to my attention that I probably would never have discovered. She really loves the subject.

She is great teacher! Very professional and well prepared. Students must study hard, but you will learn a lot!

She's great teacher and explain things very well and you do not really read a book to get an A in the class.

Interesting class & instructor. Assignments, group work, & tests can be difficult, but if you pay attention, do the reading, & apply yourself, it isn't too bad. She seems to know & love the subject very well. Lectures are usually interesting.

Markley is an excellent teacher, she loves the subject and is always willing to give her time to students interested in it or struggling with it.

Loved the class, made a boring subject as interesting as possible. Takes attendance every week and will drop you! Tests are easy as long as you study your notes. As long as you go to class and take notes its a breeze, dont really need to read book

I got a B in the class and swear to god got D's and F's on the exams. She gives lots of extra credit and she does care a great deal about her students and will help them out if they need help. She's really cooL! TAKE HER CLASS!!

Easy class!!There are not tests, just 3 quizzes and the final is a take home which consists of writing 4 essays(1 page each).Homework was a no brainer, just write a couple of paragraphs on the reading assignments & she keeps the class to the last minute:(

Dude, for an Anthropology teacher, she was pretty cool. I took Anthro for the summer, studied w/ some friends i made in class A LOT and still only got a C. I am a horrible test taker but for all the effort I put in shows how she IS a little challenging. Her teaching methods are just average.

I hated science stuff before I took her. she was a great teacher. take her, shes great!

Good teacher makes it fun to learn this stuff. It is however a hard class. She is a very nice teacher however the subject matter is rather difficult. But she is helpful in giving you extra help. You have to study to pass this class.

3x5 card asking a question or thought about the week's reading, 4 page take home final on your own thoughts. Showed videos, had group discussions and lectured. Easy and really nice. She'll help you however she can.

Very understanding teacher, nice, will help, hardly any homework except for reports.

Took Biological Anth. with her one semester and liked her class so much I took another Anth. class with her the next. She is brilliant and thorough in each of her subjects. Really knows what she is talking about. Never been big on science, but taking her c

I took Markley's Physical and Cultural Anthro classes. She does a lot of group stuff which I wasn't too into, but the workload is easy and her lectures are really interesting. She knows her stuff really well and she is a really neat lady to talk to outside of the classroom.

Decided to change my major after taking her Cultural Anth Class-Really informative and knowledgeable-Interesting class with just the right balance of movies, assignments, and lecture

karen markley was a very organized and easy to understand professer with very engaging topics for her readings. in her anthro of magic class she has no tests and relys soley on projects and homework which is a plus. her physical anthro class was more well rounded with small quizes and some homework.

Awesome teacher. She really knows her stuff and we had good discussions in class. It's easy if you do the assigned readings. Taking the lab at the same time helps. She's the anthro department head and does the anthro club. She's cool to hang out with too. 3 exams, some quizzes, and homework. No paper. Some bio background helpful.

Karen inspired me to be an anthro major because she was so passionate. I took her for three different classes, and she made them all fun. I love the fact that she didn't have any kind of research paper or essay.

She's very clear. There were no tests in my class, Just projects. It was alot of fun, but her class constantly put me to sleep, maybe it was just the time a-day. Was absent alot and Still got a B.

Attendance isn't mandatory however you want to be there for lecture notes and to turn in "main idea reviews" which are really easy. The tests are what are hard... but she does give you the essay questions before hand plus a study guide in your notes packet! This teacher actually used the entire textbook too. And it's interesting to boot!

Very fun and exciting class. Projects are fun and interesting. Tests are easy lets you use a full sheet of paper for notes on test days. Drops your lowest test and project scores. Really recommend her if interested in anthropology!

Bombin' class, I had the best time. You've got to take her class it's awesome.

best teacher i ever had!!!!

I took her online class this Fall and learned A LOT! If you are taking your education seriously, she is a wonderful teacher. This class is not for those who try to pass classes without putting in any effort. I got an A, but I EARNED it.

Great teacher. Make sure you come to class. Reading helps to remember and understand lectures. Really enjoyed class.

Excellent class. Totally changed my major because of this class. Books are interesting, great films and very useful homework projects. Not a hard class. Take her for all your FJC anthro classes!

I took this class online and got an A. I found it relatively easy. Just stay on top of the syllabus and do the reading. I didn't think the class was poorly structured at all... quite the opposite. Just don't expect it to be really easy just because it's an online course.

I really liked her as a teacher. She's interesting and knows what she's talking about. Uses the text book a lot and there is homeowork but she offers a lot of extra credit too.I thought tests were somewhat hard/ticky but i still passed. Drops lowest quiz score

Great teacher. VERY interesting class. A lot of fun. Will make you work and learn . . .but that's the point isn't it. Very good teacher and keeps you interested. Knows what she's talking about. You will want to take her again. I loved this class.

Wonderful teacher. You have to read and study (you are in college people, this shouldn't be a shocker). You will learn a lot and easily get an A if you pay attention to the material. I took 2 of her classes and wish i had an excuse to take another. ANTH101 online is a piece of cake if you learn the material (read the book).

Highly highly recommend ANTH107, covers GE requirements and multicultural requirement. Very interesting and fun class. You have to read the book (not difficult). The book is tiny and very cheap. You must be an open minded person to appreciate and learn in this class. Awesome class. Awesome teacher..

Waaaay cool teacher!! Pretty easy A, definitely gotta study but assignments were fast and easy. Tests were mostly off her notes which I loved cuz her notes were fun and non exhausting. I didnt feel like I was bugging her when I needed help and emailed her cuz she always put smiley faces. TAKE HER YALL!

Took her online class and was pretty easy if you read and do the work. Very helpful if you have any questions. The book is very easy to read and follow. I suggest reading the chapters once or twice before tests. It makes it easier for you to answer questions in the amount of time given. Some complained the time was not enough. Gives extra credit :)

A lot of hmwrk but its easy and interesting, quizzes are easy, tests can be hard if you dont read or pay attention. She is very approachable and knows her stuff!

Took her Online Class for Physical Anthropology. If you read the text book and her notes, she makes the class very easy for you. There is a total of 4 Quizes (one is dropped), very easy weekly assignments, and three exams. If you read, and don't fall behind, this class should be fairly easy and interesting.

Dr. M is brilliant, but naggs so much against Christian beliefs that it is distracting. Evolution stands strong enough on its own. After that very good teacher, willing to help during office hours, is more approachable than she looks, and made the subject exciting. Lots of reading, and some of the homework was confusing.

I was a little intimidated by her at first, honestly. She's very passionate and well informed about what's currently going on in the anthro world. As the class progressed, I really appreciated how passionate she was; it made the class really interesting. There was a lot of easy hw and tests are pretty easy if you study off of the notes packet.

I took her online Biological anthropology class.The way she runs the class is very organized and made it easy to understand the material. She has a book she uses along with her notes and a kind of fill in the blank study guide packet. She's very clear with her assignments and is extremely helpful. I can't wait to see what other classes she teaches!

Took Online ANTH 101, very organized, opportunity for extra credit, dropped lowest quiz grade. Didn't purchase study guide & had 0 interest in the course prior to taking it (was really worried about affect on my GPA, not into science) however she makes the material interesting & easy to follow. HIGHLY RECOMMEND taking her course. Wish I took lab.

I took this class online and very glad I did. Prof Markley is highly organized and makes the class very interesting. The workload is NOT hard. All you have to do is turn in all the assignments, which she basically gives you the answers for, do good on the tests and quiz and you have yourself an A. I highly recommend, she is an excellent teacher

She knows a lot about this subject and is very passionate about it. pay attention to her lectures take good notes and you will do great on the quizzes and exams. not too many homework assignments. i reccomend her, the class was enjoyable, and she is a great teacher.

Shes a very smart and dedicated teacher very passionate about what she does...she love scarfs lol and I took her honors course and it wasnt as hard as i thought it would be

Homework everyday, and reading but its not too hard or time consuming. Its generally a difficult class but I still passed with a B by doing all the hw. She's a really kind teacher and during her office hours, she went over the questions I missed on the exam.

She is an awesome an dedicated teacher. I learned a lot from her and although there is hw everyday, it's super easy and obviously will help you w/ the tests! I never dreaded going to her class. Her quizzes/tests=easy. As long as you read/pay attention!

She is a good teacher but if you want to get a good grade you must read, participate, do hw, and go to lecture. It's not a "fun" class. If you don't have the time to read about a chapter or two a weekend and the time to do small article responses don't take the class.

I took her class during Summer '11. Not an EASY A - but if you do all the work and actually read/study, you'll pass no problem. This is a college level class thus the college level work load. Her lectures are interesting, she herself is really interesting. I surprisingly learned a lot and still to this day am annoyed when apes are called monkeys.

took her for anthro 102, cultural anthropology. she is very opinionated and makes sure her students agree. she is very interesting. there are three tests, lots of easy hw and three or four quizzes. book was required. go to class . not an easy a.

I took Markely for 101 and Celtic culture which I believe is 211. For 101 I took her course online, and it was great. Her notes really help you and come in handy on the test. As far as 211 goes, good luck. The course is fun and interesting, however the material is very broad and uncertain. The subject is heavily debated. Which is why it's unclear.

I loved the idea of this class, and then i started reading the text. the lectures she gives are informative and based on the text. Prof. markley loves what she teaches so that helps make it interesting. the class is easy to pass if you do your work and study for tests. i learned A LOT in this class that i will probably never forget.

She lectures alongside a PowerPoint presentation. Notes are taken based on an outline that she created. Must keep up with the assigned reading, or else the quizzes and exams will be difficult. As she lectures, she really encourages everyone to participate in class discussions. Overall, her class was very interesting.

Although I did end up withdrawing from the class, She is an extremely good teacher. She really knows what she is talking about and answers questions clearly. She is SO passionate about her job and her enthusiasm really helped me enjoy the class a lot. A lot of work, not an easy A, but if you are willing to put in the time, then you're set.

She is a good prof and is very good about getting back to you in response to questions. You definitely have to do the reading and study but she does everything she can to make it easy/enjoyable. Good class!

The class got boring at times but overall it was very interesting and fun. As long as you do the assigned reading, you'll be fine. She was super helpful and always explained exactly what she expected of students.

This professor definitely knows how to run an online class efficiently. She always responds back to student answers very quickly. There is a lot of reading involved, and if you put in the effort, you will learn so much from her. I always thought science was boring and difficult, but everything makes so much sense to me now. I recommend her.

She is one of the best online teachers i have ever had. She is very efficient at managing the class and responds to questions very quickly. She also offers quite a bit of extra credit and the assignments are pretty straightforward. Her notes really help!

Markley made class very interesting. Connects topics to current events/issues. She likes discussion, so come prepared and participate! EXTREMELY clear on how the course works. Follow the syllabus and you should be fine.

GREAT class! - über-organized (vital for O/L) - thoughtfully designed for student success - encourages questions and provides super-quick response times - 4 weeks is too quick - take it in Fall/Spring so you can more fully enjoy it

Assignments and discussion boards are straightforward, exams are okay (I recommend reading the book/powerpoints thoroughly and filling out the packets), quizzes are easy (4, 1 is dropped), overall pretty easy. As far as the professor goes, she's nice and replies to e-mails quickly.

Go to class and sit through interesting lectures and videos. It's very easy to pass just read the articles and do the homework which is not hard at all. Very nice and willing to work with you if you need extra help. You read a lot but it's all on the tests so it's easy AB if you JUST READ! I love her as a professor and her subject! I reccomend her

Karen is a remarkable professor. She's very intelligent and passionate about her field. Yes, there is quite a bit of work outside her class, but it's all very relevant to helping you think critically. She's SO organized, and prepares you really well for the tests. As long as you do what she says you need to do to pass, YOU WILL! I loved her class.

Celtic Cultures was the class I had with Karen. She's really into the subject and can talk ad nauseam about it. She shows clips of films and gives handouts. You do have to read the books, although her lectures cover most of it. She uses PowerPoint for those. The final project was a poster, which was weird to me. Tests are easy if you take notes.

It works out to be a quiz or test a week. Each quiz is on one chapter while each test is three or four. There are times you have to write posts about an article or video, but they aren't that difficult if you take the time to view them. As long as you at least skim read you will pass this class. If you don't even look at the book you will fail.

Professor Markley is highly informed in this subject and gives great lectures. You meet once a week, so attendance is mandatory. Buy the book and read the articles thoroughly. (They're interesting!) Meet with someone to further discuss the articles, and you'll be fine. The notes packet is also important. Her exams are straightforward. HW is easy.

I took Professor Markley for Physical Anthropology because last semester I took her Magic, Witchcraft and Religion class and loved it. I like how organized she is. You will read the whole text book, some side articles, watch videos and fill out pages of note packet questions. If you do all of these things, you'll have no problem getting and A.

Pretty solid professor. I'm not an Anthropology guy but still passed with a B. She is fair, responds quickly, & tries to ensure you take something away from the class. You definitely need to read the book to be successful in her online class. Assignments are due weekly & you always know what to expect. Makes working and school manageable.

Markley's class was definitely interesting. She engaged in discussion, the tests and quizzes were not that hard (given that you put some effort into studying) and is generally caring towards the success of her students. In hindsight, I would definitely say put more effort into doing the questions packet because they definitely help towards the test

Markley is a pretty cool professor! She's really nice! Read the chapter before class or you'll be lost because she skims through it fast. She gives out HW but it helps you understand the lesson better. Gives 4 quizzes and 3 exams. She has article reviews but they're easy to do. She provides a notes packet which she uses as our study guide as well.

Professor Markley is one of the best professors I've ever had. No matter which anthropology class you take she makes learning fun. She loves classroom participation. Her poster project is a great way to show your individuality and creativity. I'm not an anthropology major but I've taken two of her classes and I'm looking forward to the 3rd.

Took Anth 101 online , it was a really great class. Yes, you will have to read, and do the packets, and all the homework. But if you do all of this you will get a easy B. Tests are not hard if you have done all of the prep work.

This is the 3rd anth class I have taken by Professor Markley and I love how organized the classes are. Her Celtic cultures class was really interesting. She gives a lot of reading assignments but her note packet really helps with picking out the important parts. Her tests are mostly on lecture material so attendance is crucial!

Prof. Markley was one of the best professors I've had. She gives great lectures that involves the class to give their opinions, which makes class lectures very interesting. Not a boring class. Tons of reading for homework but readings are all very interesting. She gives a good amount of extra credit and overall, she's understanding and sweet.

I ended with an A (92%) without the textbook. 2 points of extra credit possible every week; they're easy, do them cause they will help you. Lots of reading and writing but it's easy work. Her exams are tricky, I never got above an 83% on them. Save the answers from her quizzes, they're used on exams. Final has three essay questions, again, easy.

This class is so much more interesting than you think it will be. Definitely do the reading before class, but lectures themselves are pretty fun. She seems strict but as long as you don't use your phone during class and participate she will help you pass. The assignments are really easy to follow and you will know your grade all semester.

Textbook is needed despite other people stating otherwise. Really fun class. Be prepared to read, I don't know how others got by without the textbook (I guess just luck since her tests are multiple choice. She lays out the class, it's hard not to get an A as long as you do your work. Everything is pretty straightforward.

I loved taking her online. She responds quickly and will do what she can to help. I believe there were 8 assignments (but only 6 are graded), 7? quizzes (drops one), a few discussions, extra credit options, and for sure A LOT of reading. this class was really interesting but time consuming. If you take her online make sure to set a schedule!

I have never been in a class that flows so perfectly and it's clear to tell the professor really cares about the subject. There's a lot of homework but you can drop 4. The lectures are long but she makes them interesting and explains everything really well. The notes packet is unorganized but it helps a lot. Highly recommend!

I took her online Anth101 class and it's harder than most of my other classes. If you log in twice a week and study efficiently (I used quizlet and flashcards), you should be able to get an A. I currently have a 90.4 and I might get a B after the final, but I learned a lot with the ted talks. They were very intriguing to watch.

This class is NOT easy. There is an assignment due every class BUT they are extremely helpful for the exams. The assignments are in the notebook that is mandatory to buy and that is your study guide. So as long as you keep up with the homework and study that, you will do fine. She is passionate about anthro and I enjoyed the class a lot!

If you want an easy A, this is not the class for you. You will have to work for it. She gives quizzes/exams that requires you to read the textbook. Assignments are time consuming and no bs-ing. Id only recommend this class to anthropology majors.

I would recommend this class for anthropology majors because shes pretty strict with her grading criteria and has a lot work that has to be done! I do really like that in this class you learn a lot of interesting topics. Her test are actually pretty hard and kind of awkward. A lot of the questions are the same, but require a different answer.

I'm psychology major, but I feel like taking this class has completely helped me in understanding psychology much more and the world around me. This is definitely not an easy class. I took the online class. There's tons of homework each week, lots of readings, so you'll have to really be on top of it all. Overall, I really enjoyed the class though

Professor Markley really loves anthropology and will be able to make you interested and invested into the subject. She does great lectures that correspond with notes and while there is somewhat a lot of homework, it definitely helps you understand anthropology.

She is very communicative and I personally feel like if you do not communicate with her then you will struggle. She is very understanding of life getting in the way, and will try to work with you to the best of her abilities. There is a lot of group work, and reading, she is very organized and is dedicated to your for success as a student.

Out of the last 3 years of school this has been the hardest class, certainly didn't help I took it during summer. Professor provides study guides and powerpoints but there is SO MUCH READING. Very interesting class and you'll learn a great deal of information. Stick with this course during the 16 week schedule!

You can tell Markley is very passionate about Anthropology. She does provide you with powerpoints and study guides to help you through each chapter, but you must read every link in the PowerPoint. You are tested on everything she gives you. Her quizzes were pretty easy; however, her exams were more difficult.

Professor Markley is one of the best anthropology professors I have had at Fullerton College. Her classes are inspirational and fascinating. Her class is organized and easy to follow, so as long you do the work you will earn an A.

I really enjoyed taking Prof. Markleys class and I found the work to be more enjoyable than it was difficult. Some weeks there was a significant amount of material to read, but overall the class didnt occupy too much of my schedule. Shes very responsive to emails and she hosts optional zoom meetings prior to exams. I highly recommend her class

After being in class for a week or so it was easy to find what I needed to find on canvas, work being posted in the same place every week, and all classwork being in order in the modules. I thought that the powerpoints were well worded and helpful, it made it easier to remember information after going over the textbook by highlighting the key point

Over the course of my semester, this class was by far the easiest to navigate, clear on grading criteria, and truly set up for student success. Professor Markley was easily reachable if I had any questions and gave great feedback. this was not the same across all of my courses. I will never forget the impact this course had on my day to day life.

I would have to say that this was a very difficult class for me and I worked very hard to get the grade I did. She does ask a lot from you, she is a strict grader, and her feedback condescending and honestly can put you down. However, she does care about you and I feel like she would be better in-person than online. She is a solid choice in-person

Hybrid class. Discussion posts make up a majority of the grade and are graded tough, but gets much easier later during the semester. Class had no lecture and was more seminar style, but attendance required. All quizzes/exams are done online and were fairly easy. Usually either a post/quiz or both weekly, with 3 exams for the semester.

Professor Markley was a wonderful professor! I was very anxious taking this course prior to the Summer semester because it was only 5 weeks long. I can say that I was pleasantly surprised to see it was very manageable! Just read the materials and videos she assigns you in each weekly tab you will succeed in this course.

This was an amazing course and she made it very fun and engaging. She gives many opportunities to make up late assignments or get extra points on an assignment you didn't do good on. If you meet with her during office hours like I did, she will help you out so much with assignments and you can get a really food grade.
