younger, enthused about her teaching.

I her very much!

She is very very nice and understanding, plus she's really fun and definatly not boring.

Dr. Arenson is a very informative and helpful teacher. Her classes are also very interesting. I would suggest you take her class if you get the chance to.

Dr.arenson is a great teacher, it is hard not to be amused in her class

Lauren is a very-helpful teacher. She is also a good teacher. Whenever you need a help, she will be available to help you (in class, in her office, or via e-mail).

Excellent; incredibly helpful

loved the class, learned alot of evolution facts and stuff like that, zoo trip was fun, met alot of cool people in that class.

She is good teacher. I enjoyed class. Everybody should take her if want easy class.

She is a great teacher who makes her classes enjoyable. She is fair with testing and gives chances for extra credit. Complete the reading & assignments and you will do fine. **Students, please spell check your postings!!!!***

I took the class in the summer..not an "easy class" but you LEARN a lot..she's a good teacher..overall..

Very easy going, wonderful personality and clear on all subjects. Her classes are interesting and she tells many stories to make you feel connected and encouraged to learn more - just approach her for questions, you'll get good answers. She cares.

Very, Very easy class...almost too easy. She is very nice, helpful, clear lectures. Her class is fun too. It is easy to pass, even with light studying. I honestly wish the course had been more of a challenge, it didn't feel like it was college level.

she tries to be funni, a very nice teacher, understadning... but the course is a bit hard. tests were by computers. i wouldnt take it again.

The class is lot of work. Take good notes on lectures and movies, the test Qs come directly from them. She is really nice and you'll get to go on fun field trips. Test were on comp.,1st one was hard.

nice prof. but not that helpful, her face changes as she meets students outside of the class. in the class, she pretends (probably) to be very funny and helpful. Her favorite is "isn't it funny?" I heard it all the time. tests are very hard.

very very easy, just study a little, do the extra credit and your good. interesting stuff about primates and great apes

a great prof

Wow, I'm surprised some people don't like her. I Loved her, I know most people in the class did too. She's known around school as a good teacher to take anthropology. Even by those who werent able to take her course. Extra credit is very helpful. Study!

Great teacher! Very layed back throughout most of the course. Where people here have labled her difficult, I would say, no more so than any other good professor. She's very willing to compromise and gives lots of extra credit. She knows what she's doing.

Her tests are really hard

Love her, love her dog -- I've taken her both online and in class -- better in-class, definitely -- very kind and caring, knows so much -- talk to her about anything related to animals!!!!!

I think shes a great teacher. She's fun in class and is very helpful. She makes learning fun. I recommend taking her for Anthro.

Dr. Arenson is one of the best prof's at PCC. She is very smart, funny and very real. She always reviews, always gives students an opportunity to ask questions about tests, is concerned about all in her class, and gives 100% every day. I highly recommend

I loved her. She's a good teacher. I'd take a class with her again in a snap!

She's a cool teacher, however, her tests are really hard.

Her tests are kind of detail oriented, but only for some of the questions (which are sometimes vaguely phrased). Her paper is graded very easily & class is very, very easy- due to the fact that she hugely curves tests and gives out ALOT of extra credit.

EASY "A"... If something from the lecture is to confusing, she will explain until you understand. extra credit. Take her!

Fabulous. Took two of her classes (one online); very kind and fun!

She' a really nice teacher. If you take good notes easy A. I took her this summer and passed with flying colors. Test were online at home.

Knowledgeable; attractively friendly and very helpful.

Took the online lab class. Dr. Arenson pretty much explained everything in full the first meeting. You got to be a complete loser if you fail her online class. All the answers are in front of you. All you have to do is match what's on your screen.

i'm an anthro major because of her. i took her summer class. very interesting material. sweet and awesome lady. take her class. unless you're asleep in class every day, you'll have no trouble passing this class.

She lectures a lot but her lectures are not boring at all.ITs an easy class if u take good notes and keep up with the reading.Consists of 3 online test and 1 term paper.Super easy tests and u get to use notes and books.She also gives extra credit thats worth percents not just points whic is good.

The ITV class only met 6 times. The tests were tough because they are online and you are allowed open book/notes-you have to know a lot of specifics. Take notes while you read and make sure to be familiar with the material by re-reading. Then the tests aren't so bad. Overall, I enjoyed her class.

To tell the truth I didn't really pay attention to her all the time, the notes she gives are all over the place and I was not use to that. Her exams are very detailed as well and I didn't really read. That being said i still got an A becuase of the extra credit and the paper.

I'm surprised she doesn't have more "hot" ratings! This prof is smoking hot I tell ya! Just look @ her 4 proof of dat! Tests are somewhat difficult so reading the chapters is essential. Extra credit is granted if students voice their opinion for it. Easy to approach, & good sense of humour as well

I have had 4 classes with Dr. Arenson. She is the very reason I stayed in Anthropology; even my graduate professors weren't as thorough as Dr. Arenson. Fabulous teacher and an inspiration. And a beautiful person. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

arensen gives pretty clear lectures and makes the material somewhat interesting. grades pretty fairly, gives extra credit and overall she is a sweet lady.

She is awesome. She is soooooo funny. She is open to all ideas and teaches the information without pressing her views on others. I never knew i could like a class so much. She's great!

she made class fun

I loved her class, i had doubts about taking this class until i realized that she acyually made the class interesting. plus she's a dodger fan which makes her that much better. P.S. She has an awesome personality( she's hot) in her own way.

SHE IS AMAZING. SHE WILL TEACH YOU A GREAT LIFE LESSON. I DEF. RECOMMEND HER FOR CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY.

She's great. Had her Lab on line and was worried I couldn't get help if needed. She always emailed right back and answered clearly. I would def. take another class from her.

If you are taking this class as only a GenEd req I advise taking her in the summer or winter. It's much easier and more condensed. The class still does require some work to pass. 3 online tests & a term paper for the class and if you take the lab then ten lab assignments on top of that. Still not that hard. She is a nice lady but a little odd.

She was nice and fun but unclear. Really hard class. The online lab is simple. Easy A! I had to really work to make a B in the class. Alot of reading and the test are confusing like stated earlier. Lots of books req.

No Comments

She's alright.

Her class is interesting but the assigned readings are not.we just dont have enough time to finish all the chapters

This class was super easy. If you need an easy lab take this one!

Reading wasn't that bad. Just keep up and ask questions if you have any. She likes class participation. With in class essays make sure to present the information as well as your interpretation- don't regurgitate it back to her. That's not what she's looking for. Overall great prof.

She is a good teacher... knows her stuff... Open book/online tests are very easy... and I didnt read one line of the books unless i was taking a test... easy class

i like the field trips we took during summer session. her video on the orangutans was hilarious. great teacher

Her TA helps grade our essays, and this semester the TA was a really tough grader. A lot of videos and guest lecturers. We had a take-home final, and the class ended two weeks before the semester was over. She had this tendency to be totally unreachable Thursdays through Sundays, which is a big problem if something big is due Monday morning.

I loved the lectures. Great class, great professor. I was never bored.

Lectures were interesting. Tests were fairly easy if you read the books. Extra credit points allowed you to raise your test grade about one letter grade. Some extra credit assignments were field trips, doesnt get any easier. Worth taking unless you dont plan on opening book. She reminded me of Carol's, from the t.v. show Friends, life partner.

I thought her lectures were very interesting. I like the field trips. The tests are online. However, I thought her tests were hard. I got a C but I enjoy her lectures. One term paper. 3 tests. No homework but a lot of reading.

She is a good teacher. Precise and to the point.

Arenson is a great teacher. Her TA's are also nice and cool. Funny, open to students and very helpful. 3 tests and 1 paper. The only drawback to this class is alot of readings, and when taking tests some questions pose answers to which are "more correct." Can be confusing but other than that, a fun class.

Really nice, funny in a goofy way. Didn't find the class very difficult, got an A without really doing any of the reading. She offers 20 points in extra credit, which is a lot in a 240 point class. Just take good notes, attend class, and fill out the homework packet before you take the test online. Term paper is graded pretty easily.

If I could give her a "6" for helpfulness I would. She really cares about her students, and I went to see her often as I struggled a lot. I can't say I like the subject even now but she is a good teacher to take.

She qas the best, and made the history of hominids more exciting. The thought of excavatiing and finding a little piece of our past gives life a little more spice.

I really liked this teacher. She was really cool and her non-jokes are funny. you'll know what I mean. We have about 3 or 4 tests and they're all online. They're pretty difficult if you don't read the book. There's 1 paper that needs to be done as well. She really likes her subject and that makes it likeable. Do the xtra credit. It helps a lo

No Comments

Do not take this online class. It will be the most work you've ever done for a 1 unit class.

Prof. is absolutely not hard. There is a lot of work for 1 unit lab class, but they are very easy! I did all the work and got all 100% Do the assignments on time and u'll do fine1

Can you say HOT??? Wow. Anyhow, she's married. Darn. Knows her subject. Does great job teaching such huge class. However, she would have been a LOT better in a smaller class. Relies too much on internet-very annoying. Academics are easy as long as you keep pace. 1 unit lab is more work than the 3 unit lecture, and that needs to be changed.

This gal knows her stuff. I'm in the middle of her classes anthro 1 & 2. 2 is online and I switched classes as she was so much better than the other anthro 2 teacher I had. She is somewhat challanging, but aren't we in college to learn? Her classes are infomative, fun and very active!

excellent!

Arenson is tooooo too hot, a lot of students love her class because she can make the class become really fun and interesting throughout the human and others. This class should be the best class throughout the all social science class. Take her! You will never regret!

There are a lot of work need to do and written down paper for the Anthropoligy 1 class. Arenson makes this class really interesting.

class is intensily boring.

I took her online class in summer. 3 test and one critical thinking reaction paper. She grades pretty easy on the essays. Lots of readings to do. Test are kind of hard, but the essays in the test boost your grade. Offers 20 extra credit out of 300 possible points. Do the extra credits and you'll get an A. Even if you screw your tests.

She is a nice person. It's wise to take her class. Assignments are easy and interesting.

She makes class much more tougher and tougher after midterm.

During class, she is really hard to understand because she goes so fast. She also does get aggravated when asked questions. But if you go to her office and ask for help she will definetly help you. The more you go to her office for help, the more you will come to understand the way she teaches in class.

Interesting, unique and fun.Can raise curiosity and can talk about anything under the sun. Mostly accesible and efficient on class resources and academic requirements.

She is cool I enjoy her lectures, and answers all our questions, she made this class fun.

Professor Arenson is sweet and engaging. Her lectures, despite the content, are not dull. She covers the content as needed and an A is extremely attainable. Do the extra credit, which is in abundance, and you will do great. Tests are online and open book. Recommended.

She has a passion for anthropology. I saw some people complain about her, but I don't know what they did wrong. If you are a responsible student who works hard there is no doubt that you will successfully pass this class with an "A". There is a large amount of extra credit that helps lift up a test grade. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!

took her class, shes awesome! take her, shes VERY helpful and interesting!

Took this in Fall 2007. Great teacher, passionate about the class & about primates. I also took the Lab @the same time online which requires a lot of research and writing. I got an A but I had to work for it. I recommend doing all the extra credits (which are easy). Tests are online (open book) but you must know the material. She is very accessible

ALOT of reading but it's interesting material. very helpful teacher. took it during my first semester at pcc. got an A

I took the online segment of Anthr 1L. It's an easy class with about 2 assignments per week. Assignment involves researching online and posting the work on the class site. Total of 10 assignments for the summer class and extra credits. Some people say too much work for 1 unit class. True, but each assignment takes about 1 hr to do. Easy A.

Funny and kind, no to mention understanding. She will help you as necessary. If you have a joke, tell it to her. She loves jokes.

It was a shame that I failed a majority of her tests, but I felt she was better than most of the professors I've had so far. She was descriptive, thorough, and fun, especially with her sidekick Mr. Ramos. She told us many stories of what has happened to her and her friends anthropologically, which really related to our anthro conversations. Man...

I love her,,,I think she is a wonderful instructor. She was always clear on our assignments. Easy "A" you're not judged as long as you do you're work. Best choice ever!!

Arenson is really cool, but doesn't tolerate bs, and holds students to a high standard. She expects you to be on time, do your homework, and pay attention. Her tests are tough, but she's fair. She'll adjust your grade if you prove a question is flawed. She expects us to know 2 textbooks, lecture material, and other data, and to think - surprise!

shes funny. class starts EXACTLY on time, if you're one minute late walk through the BACK door & sign in late at the end. tests are okay as long as you've read through the chapters (she allows you to use the book for test) make sure your essay thesis is CLEAR or you get marked down. discussion board on her website is helpful if you missed class.

Dr. Arenson made this class interesting and made me want to go to class. You are required to do 2 papers and have 4 chances to turn them in. Reading the book for the test is a MUST. She's a fair grader on the papers and offered many opportunities for help on the thesis in the lab. Good Professor!

She is really nice and interesting!Spend time reading your textbook,you will be fine on the test.she provides a lot of help and extra credit.

she is the best! and fun i gained knowledge and was not stressed1

I'm taking her on-line Anthro Lab and it's the easiest class I have experienced thus far. An easy-A for sure and it coincides perfectly with Anthro 1, so if you take them simultaneously you will be in the game. There are 2 on-line assignments per week and each takes about 20 mins to complete. If you can't pass this class, it's because you are lazy.

I took her online cutural anthro class. Easy as long as you read, do the assignments, and take the exams. It's pretty hard to fail an online class in general so, i don't get why anyone would. She responds to all emails and, gives extra credit!

Very nice teacher. Tests are pretty hard, but there is a ton of extra credit to make up for them. Keep up with the assignments, read, and do the extra credit = easy A. Highly recommended.

Very easy class. Easiest A ever! You won't regret taking her for lab.

nothing to complain about this class. class is easy. perfect for students who are working. just be sure to do work before the deadline and ull be golden.

Easiest A. Online lab consisted of 11 assignments and two extra credit opportunities that were 2 pts. each. Grades easily, just make sure you follow her criteria and complete the minimum requirement. TRUST ME, the lab is EASY.

Do the work and you will for sure get an A. Grades fairly and gives ex credit opportunities. Online class

She wrote the textbook for both Anthropology classes I took from her, she knows her stuff. She makes the LARGE class fun and got me to do extra work.

She is very fare as long as you do the work. The tests are not hard as long as you do the readings required. She was great and opened my eyes on a lot of things that are easily looked over and has changed the way that I looked at things and the decision I will now make for myself and my family.

Prof. Arenson is SO MUCH FUN. Very down to earth & thorough. Cul. Anthro. was really enjoyable because she is also a vegetarian & really takes the time to teach & offers 20 possible points of extra credit. I truly recommend her, such a fun class & professor, very honest & humorous. The class is also very very interesting; you become more optimistic

Great teacher. Class was a lot of fun. Took both 1 and 1L. Highly reccomend. Her lectures are very interesting; however, test is 100% from book, so read book. Very passionate about Anthropology and a great teacher.

She was my favorite teacher for my first semester. It's easy to get an A on the papers, you only have to write two for the whole class plus she gives you four chances to do them. There are only three tests, pretty easy if you do the reading, not to mention the tests are open-note and open-book. Lot of extra cred. opportunities. Overall great teache

She was the nicest professor ever! She even got my kid a gift! She is very reasonable and very passionate about what she teaches. If you need this class take her.

GREAT PROFESSOR, VERY KIND.

This teacher is the best. Do the work, get an A. I loved taking her class, however it is very interactive online, so be prepared to log in at least 3 times a week.

good teacher. very helpful and easy if you understand the material.

She is a very nice teacher who responds to emails and questions in a timely manner. If you read the textbook, complete all your homework, and take advantage of all the extra credit opportunities, you will do very well. This class was a great experience.

Follow her directions, attend the lectures, do the extra credit, and you will succeed.

The class is hard, but she is by far, the smartest professor that I have ever had. I was literally in awe of her during every class lecture. I loved the class, she is brilliant. Don't be late!!

I look the online Anthro 1 class and related lab. Dr. Arenson does a great job with an online class. She assigns weekly assignments and gives LOTS of extra credit opportunities. Excellent communication and always willing to clarify if something is unclear. Do the assignments and the extra credit and you should get an A!

Taking Anthro 1 in the summer, she tries to make it bearable but the subject is simply boring. There isnt any better way to teach boring subjects. She's really nice though because she does care for students.

Class is honestly very simple.Pay attn and take GOOD NOTES during lecture youll pass test even just reading thru chptrs once. Prf Arenson really cares abt students..its strange to me why everyone is saying such neg things. Obvsly if you show attitude thats wht youll get back. Essay topics r difficlt to undrstnd so ask many qs. Id def take her again

Funny teacher. She may seem intimidating at first but if you attend to her lectures, you'll find out she's a really great person. Her class is challenging...in a good way. There isn't many assignments, so it's best to do them all. Plus she gives extra credit which raises like 8% of your overall grade if completed and curves at the end of the final.

Lectures are interesting, a lot of reading, some movies. She can be very anti-religion.Tests are online, which is okay lets you google the questions. I barely got an A, didn't really care for subject. She has a horrible sense of style, but is funny and has a great personality. You won't be bored in class. Take notes.

She is great professor!!! Listen to what she has to say such as practice quizzes! They will prepare for both exams and just read the chapters and do the extra credit. I will admit didn't have the greatest attendance towards end of the semester but read all the chapters and did allt he practice quizzes. I got B without really trying towards the end.

Listen to lectures,practice tests,review handouts- all are test material. Must know college level composition for research paper! She's tough when grading because she expects students to show they understood the material. She gives extra credit that really helps those who need it. Some group assignments were confusing at first, but not impossible.

I'm currently taking her class fr the Fall Semester and have to say, she's one of the best professors at PCC. University level class and she's a great lecturer which is always a plus. She expects you to keep up with studying and class work, but really there's no excuse to slack off.

Way too much work for a 3 credit class, unless you love anthro I recommend taking another class. Strict grader as well

I took ANTH001 with other professor in class last semester and I dropped it cauz that german professor is EXTREMELY disorganized! So I retake ANTH001 during summer, professor Arenson is pretty good and friendly! There are only three exams during the whole semester and few online discussion works to do. Take her class if you wanna get a A !!!!!!!!

You have to read. That's basically it. I took her lab and her physical class and to be honest, they are both fantastic. The only downside is there is a certain amount of memorization required for her class. She will help you though and she's very involved with study groups with the vet club, even if you're not a veteran yourself.

I hate science but Arenson is a good professor. Her class wasn't hard and she offers a lot of extra credit. I would definitely take her again.

This class caught me by suprise because I didn't realize the test were going to be so hard. We have three test and I failed all of them but I did all the extra credit and scored well on the essays and passed with a B. She lectures and sometimes shows movies. But get ready to read..

Her online course was manageable. We had an assignment each week, some required a response to a classmate. I received full credit on the midterm and final papers, which surprised me. I hardly scored full credit on the assignments, ranging around 8-9/10. I did miss the one easy assignment worth 5 pts. Final grades were curved, 88% was an A.

I took the winter accelerated course. It was a lot of work, but worth it. She gives extra credit (which you should do), and I was able to do well by skimming through the reading and taking some notes when I knew I would be tested on something. Don't fall behind, work hard, and you'll get an A.

I took her online class and I learned a lot. The weekly reading material consist of articles, videos and reading the book assigned . Assignments are due every Friday and citation is a must. You do your work, and you get a good grade. I got a B and it was because I didn't do a paper worth a lot of points.

The professor was ok. 3 exams, one research project, and two extra credits you can do. The tests are not easy, but I got an A on all of them and failed my research project and did two extra credits. Overall, it was okay. Would take her again though.

Took her 8 week online class. Easy class not many assignments. All through canvas. 2 papers 3 exams and some online discussions once a week. Definitely recommend taking her online class.

Dr. Arenson is amazing! One of the kindest, most reasonable professors I've experienced. She is extremely knowledgable and you will learn a lot from her class. She welcomes discussion, as well. The workload wasn't too extreme - 3 exams over the course of the semester and 2 papers. Offers lots of extra credit. Make sure you do the readings!

This class was not like I expected but it was worth effort for me at the end of the semester. She is really sweet. The reading was a lot but she uses an alternative so that you will not have to read the chapters yourself, through Pearson Revel. Make sure you do the Pearson Revel quizzes every week, that will boost up your grade. Good Luck!

This lab is only worth 1 credit, but it felt like a 4 credit course. I felt challenged, but in a good way. She's specific with what she asks of you, and I think that's important when taking an online course. She's nice, understanding, straightforward and responds quickly to emails.

Took this during the winter. 1-2 assignments each week along with discussions. Make sure you pay attention to the time that the assignments are due. She makes her assignments due at 11:00 instead of 11:59 like most classes. That really threw me off. Easy course just manage your time wisely.

This was one of the last classes I needed to take to get my AA. I emailed Professor Arenson begging her to let me in her class. She let me in even though I missed a few assignments, and I still finished with an A. Loved the class, and I will always be grateful to her for letting me into it. Online is the way to go!

She gives out extra credits generously. If you take her class, you won't regret it. she is in every aspect a good instructor.

Dr. Anderson was Amazing! Her Online Class was very well structured, her grading criteria was very clear... and she always gave a perfect score (as long as you were clear, concise, and "Always*** Cited your sources" (Always***). Also, as long as you do the reading, and cover the articles she has you read, you'll do fine on the Discussion Boards

Very quirky, but in a funny way. She is a very nice professor, but she does grade harshly (for projects and research papers) She offers extra credit (10pts each- that's worth an assignment) for visiting the Gibbon Conservation Center . Overall, her class was pretty easy. Just do the work and you'll do fine. Good Luck!

I took professor Arenson's 8-week online lab class. I have taken several anthropology classes before, so the book was all old information to be. Really easy and not that much work.

She is the Greatest teacher in the whole campus

Overall the class can be interesting, however the material can be a bit dry at times. There is lots of reading material for the 8 week course. On writing assignments and discussions she is lenient with grading as long as you meet the page requirements and proofread. The test are open note however you should read before taking the test!

I took Professor Arnenson for Humanities 003 this past semester, it was originally in person but then went online. She is the absolute best!!! The easiest, yet most caring professor at PCC. She really cares about your health and safety more than assignments, only like 1 assignment a week, if anything! The issues we talked about were also impactful

Im taking her HUM002 online course. It is an 8 week class, so there is more work and material to go over. Theres one discussion every week/ 4 essay assignments/ 3 quizzes through out the course. She offers a lot of extra credit and they are worth a lot, so make sure to complete them. Great professor would take again :)

Easy A. Not a tough grader. Took online class. Did not do any of the required readings. Test's are on quizlet word for word. No homework. One short paper. Def reccomend

She was really a caring teacher, passionate about the subject. She would always answer back within the day ((covid online times). It was not an overwhelming class. It's very manageable. We had four 50 question multiple choice quizzes with a 90 min time limit. I would absolutely take any of her courses again!

I took her 8 week course, this was the most organized and easy layout to learn online. The only online course I have taken since COVID that actually worked. There are a lot of discussions, readings, and a few papers. Anyone can pass this class if you apply yourself.

Professor Arenson is passionate about her subject, and eager to share that passion. She is very responsive to her students' needs, and very quick to answer email. Her writing assignments are interesting and topical, and work is graded promptly and thoughtfully. Overall, she is an excellent professor.

The professor is amazing! Do your work, do the reading, write a paper and you will get an A on the class. Dr. Arenson is also a caring professor who always take her time and have an understanding through each student's difficulty, she is really nice. Nothing is hard about this class honestly, so good luck and have fun!

Professor Arenson's very caring about the subject matter. She's very clear on what she wants, theres one paper, three exams and a few assignments. She is very adamant on late work, she will not accept it whatsoever Just turn in the work. The only way you could possibly fail is if you don't do any assignments , I would highly recommend her course.

Overall this class was an easy A. 1 paper, a few discussion board responses and a 3 tests. Follow her instructions on the paper and do not overthink it is how you will get the A. The book was pretty dense.. I skimmed through the readings and still got an A. Test answers can be found outside of the textbook.

Based on class grade avg assignment 5/10 tests 27/50 I can't say it's an easy A. She docs pts for missing word requirements. Tests are a bit hard, she asks really specific things. She wants research for most assignments. If you're good at writing and finding research on google scholar you'll probably get an A. This is for 8w online in 2021 covid.

Professor Arenson was great. Not too much home work for a 6 week class. A one page hw assignment every week and discussion posts. Just make sure its one page and site your sources, she doesnt like quotes, she likes citations. Test are on quizlet and essay is easy. Got an A, she grades tougher as the semester goes but she has 20pt ex/credit opps.

I took cultural anthro for her 8-week course and it was really interesting. If there was a discussion section or in-person, it would've been one of my most interesting classes at PCC so far. I recommend doing the reading, you basically teach yourself with your online format so if you actually care to learn you'll enjoy it.

When I say caring, I MEAN CARRYING. This is a college class and usually, they are strict with deadlines but this professor makes a lot of exceptions. It's not a hard class but don't think it's easy A. If you put in the work I promise it becomes EASY A. Take this class and put in some work if you want it for your IGETC. Extremely Kind Professor.

It was an 8 week course, but the homework was bearable. I learned so much from her class and I would recommend it to everybody. Make sure to read her instructions thoroughly if you're aiming for a high score.

Dr. Arenson is the most caring and understanding professor. She is an inspiration to me. If you are looking for an easy A this is not the class for you. You have to put in work and reading to get an A and it is totally doable. You will not regret taking a class with her she's AMAZING. The class is based on discussions, assignments, 2 exams + final.

A literal gem of a professor. I took all my anthro courses with her, no regrets. Put in the work to get your desired grade it all depends on how much work you are willing to put in. The class isn't a joke, take it seriously, time is the key.

Took the 8 week asynchronous class. Very easy A, just do the assignments on time!

The class only had 6 assignments in total including 3 exams. No late work is accepted but there is plenty of time."Discussions" are papers. Exams are also multiple choice and open book. If you pay attention to her lectures you should be able to get all 50 points. Arguably one of the best professors ever. Very kind and understanding and truly cares!

Her assignments were weekly discussions, which were basically papers. 2 main papers and 3 tests which are open book. Her assignments are dependent on the reading so stay on top of it. Overall an interesting class where the work will have you thinking.

I didn't get to bond too much with the professor since the class was asynchronous, but I enjoyed the class. Prepare to read a lot since there are lengthy chapter readings for the weekly discussions. There was also a book required to read. The class wasn't too difficult, but just make sure to manage your time and read all of the texts.

Professor Lauren is amazing! She really cares for her students and I can really feel that she is also passionate about teaching. She would make sure her students understand the materials and its concept throughly. Do your homework, follow her instructions you will do good! She offers many opportunities for extra credit, definitely do that too.

Dr. Arenson is a gem. She really wants her students to be successful and leave her class knowing something. Her ANTH009 online class wasn't hard, but you do need the read the textbook to do the assignments/exams. A couple papers but if you follow her directions, you'll get an A. She's also very accessible outside of class so if you need help, ask!

I loved this class. Professor Arenson is very involved with student's progress. She was an amazing communicator, and the material was very interesting and thought-provoking.

Plan ahead, plan ahead for the discussion!

Professor Lauren's class is challenging but rewarding. Detailed lectures, weekly writings, and open-book exams test your understanding. Stay on top of assignments and use resources like unstuckstudy ai to succeed. Overall, a great learning experience.

Lauren Arenson is amazing. It is my third time taking her class because everytime I see her name I need to take that class! She is amazing, a lot of reading and writing but it's so fun trust me. Take her put in the work and get an A. Read, use your reading and write! 2 exam multiple choice, from readings.. easy. I love her.

Took Professor Arenson for ANTH002 and she was absolutely amazing...Be ready to do LOTS of readings, lectures and exams. Her teaching style is very inspiring and caring...As long as you follow her directions and you will get an A. She is fast at responding emails and will even sent in reminders if you haven't turned in an exam. 10/10

took her 6wk winter course and it was doable! her canvas was super organized and class was clear. it was just a lot of reading and writing but that was expected. dont use ai and make sure to just read as it'll make your life easier. she does not accept any late work at all so beware. you genuinely have to put in time as she grades a bit harsh.

I LOVE professor Arenson! She's very sweet and caring, always provides good feedbacks. Her HUM002 was very inspirational, many lectures, PREPARE TO ACTUALLY READ. This class is a GREAT practice opportunity if you are not good with Research Papers! Her resources are insightful, she gives extra credit! She's also very understanding w/ late works!
