Katrina Worley is one of the best teachers I have had the pleasure of learning from during my college career. She is enthusiastic and very knowledgeable about the subject, encourages discussion and questions, and just has a good time with it. She enjoys the subject and definitely projects that during class. You will enjoy her classes.

I had Katrina for anthro lab at sierra. She was VERY insightful, and proved to be a very effecient teacher. I learned SO much about comparative anatomy between primates and sapiens. You have to apply yourself, but it is a good prep class for bio courses you will be taking later on. I got an A, and I owe to her inspiration.

Professor Worley is a very detailed instructor. Very, very detailed. She does not accept work that is below college standards, at all. Her picky grading style can be a little demanding, but I feel that her high expectations prompt her students to perform better. Her classes are challenging, but you'll learn something.

Be ready to READ and do LOTS of papers. Participation is a MUST! Learned a lot but this professor is not for the sensitive ones for she can be pretty rude, whether that is her intention or not, she comes off as rude. In addition, be prepared to type essays that are completely error free.

She is very passionate about what she teaches and is open to all questions. Be careful if you get offended easily, she doesn't necessarily hide her beliefs. Grade is compromised of a few essays and online exams plus she offers extra credit. Everything you need is in her power points which are all on d2l. Pretty easy to pass.

If you hate talking to students you shouldn't be a professor. She's downright unprofessional and rude. There is so much work, 3 bibliographies (5 each), 3 eassays, 5 tests, 5 discussion board posts/week. She wrote the rudest comments about my work but still have me an A or B on assignments, I'd hate to see what she said to those who didn't do well.

I do not recommend this professor for any SECOND language. You will NEVER get full points because of grammatical issue. She will grade you base on your grammar. She is more worst and strict than an English professor. She will mark you if you forgot to put a common. I'm not sure what her point of teaching anth, if grammar is such an issue for her.

Do not take an online class with this prof! Way too much work for an intro class. 5 discussion posts/week at least 24 hours apart, 3 essays that are not prompted well but you must answer very thoroughly for a good grade, and 3 bibliographies with 5 articles each. The entire textbook is covered. I don't mind blunt but this prof. does not identify.

An easy class for anyone. Lectures can get side-tracked but remain within the topic. She follows the syllabus, is an easy grader, and quick to respond to emails. Everything is to be turned in online. There are three exams (no cumulative final), three short writing assignments, and one term paper/project. Be sure to do the extra credit as well.

Great teacher, just take clear notes and you'll be fine. Quizzes are all online and open note and book. Her classes are easy to understand if you show up and pay attention. For physical anthropology, you should read the book. But her lectures go over everything you will need to know for the quizzes.

Teacher grades tough. Tests are worded so you pick wrong answer, and are obscurely referenced in the book. She is also very condescending to students, using all caps with some words. When ever she is trying to hint at an error, or is annoyed, she types, "...", instead of saying what she wants to say. Any letter misplaced sets her off

Don't take this professor. She gives too much homework for an online 3-unit class. She is disrespectful to students when you email her about a question and makes you figure things out on your own. 5 tests, 3 papers, 5 Annotated Bibliographies with weekly discussions that have to be 48 hours apart. She does offer the 3rd essay for extra credit.

Professor Worley's class is quite simple. Each week you must do 5-6 responses on a discussion, including responses to others. There is a total of 3 exercises (essays), there is a fourth one for extra credit. A larger type of essay towards the end that requires watching a film. You will have to read, a lot. A good class, just put in the work for it.

This is my second time with Professor Worley and I will say that it was better. I enjoy her class layout, very straightforward with weekly discussions, some tests, and some essays. The hardest part is the essays, as she wants to see if you have learned. Her demeanor once felt off-putting, but now she seems nicer. She says things frankly at times.

The lectures are a long web page about the weeks chapter, with an audio recorded lecture as well. She has a pretty high vocabulary and expects quality answers. Only 3 tests with 50 questions (very easy), and 2 750-1200 word essays(movie, book)

While her assignments are very easy and straight forward. Everything is piled on and it's a struggle to complete them on time. I absolutely wouldn't recommend her if you're queer. Her entire lesson on Sex & Gender was a mess, she neglected safe space guidelines. She allowed students to repeatedly use the f-slur and express transphobic opinions.

Most engaged professor in online Discussions I've experienced. Discussion board is fairly heavy and you must participate - you can't skim through class and expect to get a good grade. If you want to learn she is fantastic. She's clear on assignments, expectations, and grading. I have total respect for this brilliant professor.

She doesn't care about the quality of your work. Just if you do it or not. Don't bother putting a paragraph for the discussions, you'll still get full credit for the assignment if you do the absolute bare minimum and do it on time.

Fantastic teacher, really fun lectures. Easy to work with in regards to late work and, generally, is very forgiving of absences. Good amount of extra credit: an optional assignment and optional test rewrites. Only issue is tests are majorly on the material from the provided textbook, not lectures. They are open book though, so it's not an issue.
