Love this teacher! Intimidating at first but genuine. Extremely energized! She's been all over S. America and knows alot about Anthro.3 assignments where you just define words and answer a short answer question. 4 Exams, super easy! include short answer, matching, etc. But she'll give you pts even you're wrong. Likes when people talk and interact
Me and my brother took this class. She is a great teacher. Funny. She is intimidating, but don't let that fool you because you will love her and learn a lot. You do need to read (lite reading) and know your stuff because she will ask questions and put you on the spot. She likes interacting with students in her lecture.
MEANEST TEACHER EVER!!!! SHE TRIES TO INTIMIDATE YOU AND IF SHE KNOWS SHE IS SHE'LL TREAT YOU BAD!!!! DO NOT TAKE HER!!!!
Great teacher! Really enjoyed the class. She's very clear about the subject.she cares a lot about her students and wants them to pass the class. take her, i highly recommend it..
She is not mean at all. She is very understanding of her students. very straight forward. She likes the class getting involved instead of her just talking straight. i learned a lot from this class. i will recommend her for sure
I really enjoyed this class! Sometimes she can be strict, but only if you don't do the work or reading that is required. As long as you follow the reading and go to class, it's really easy.
One of the best teachers I've ever had. I learned soo much from her class. The first day I thought she was scary but she's really one of the best teachers I've ever had. You must take this class!
One of my favorite teachers! I had her twice. Once for anthro n again for mex/amr history. She may seem scary in the begining but if you speak up in her class n she learns your name, you'll do fine. Test are easy if you do the study guide she gives you. She really trys to communicate with the students to see where your at in the class. Shes Great!!
OMG! Wha a nightmare! I was really looking forward to this class but she was so hard I changed my major! Thanks for nothing!
Best teacher I ever had. I love her passion for anthropology; Love the subject matter and her energy level. I recommend her to all students and I would take her again. If you want to learn about anthropology than take her. She knows her stuff
Wow what a self centered egotiscal know it all! Condescending she makes me want to give up on anthropology. thank gos there are other anthro classes. Do not take this class!!!
I think you either love or hate Mrs. P. I thought she was a little harsh and intimidating but she really does know her stuff and challenges the class to actually learn it too. I was pretty scared of her at first but if you do what you're supposed to there is no reason for her to mess with you. I would take the class again. I learned a lot.
Professor Padilla-Wilson is a magnificent instructor! She is straight-forward, passionate about what she teaches, and is extremely helpful. Her tests are challenging- but that's why there is the study guide she PROVIDES you with. There are no surprises on the test. Her class is a real eye opener for those who have not taken an anthropology class.
She's a great teacher and she really knows what she's talking about.I enjoyed her class and her life stories as an applied anthropologist.It's a great and interesting class.I enjoyed it and learned a lot.Just make sure to read assigned readings and do all work, and it will come at ease.However,she doesn't like people being late.Shes a good teacher!
Great teacher! I liked her class!! I recomend taking her class, I really enjoyed it. She's very helpful and lets you know what's on the test for you to study. Great teacher! I learned a lot
I highly recommend this teacher. She's awesome! I took this over the summer and the class is very fast paced (2 chapters per day). We had 5 homework assignments, 4 exams, and 2 opportunities for extra credit. As long as you pay attention in class, take adequate notes and read over your notes before the exam you'll do fine. She gives an exam review
I highly recommend this teacher. She's awesome! I took this over the summer and the class is very fast paced (2 chapters per day). We had 5 homework assignments, 4 exams, and 2 opportunities for extra credit. She gives an exam review the day before the class, and tells you exactly what you need to study for. Surprisingly I really enjoyed Anthro 6.
This class was horrible. I tried to stick it out but ended up dropping without a refund. Her voice is so annoying and the material's so boring. I wanted to die. Waste of time and money.
Thought I was gonna get Revenauh but got stuck with her. Yikes! I want out but I need the units. I ahd so much fun with he other Teacher. Do not take her class. I hate people with agendas! Lame! Avaoid at all costs.
She is amazing. I LOVE her class. She is very passionate about what she teaches which made me passionate about it as well. Highly recommended!
Master P is AWESOME!!! She's fun and made the class very interesting. We always had open discussions/ debates in the class.When it comes to the tests, she literally gives you all the questions to study from!
She is amazing! I LOVE her class. I wish I could take it again but I sadly can't. IF you have a questoin she is super helpful and will help. Take this class!
Pay attention and speak up in class and you will do fine. She is a great teacher! 3 assign. and 4 tests. thats it. Shes tells you whats on the test the day before! Easy A!
Super AWESOME! All you gotta do is show up and contribute a bit, a few papers and BAM ur done! She is beyond cool and easy to talk to. Im taking another anthro class with her again next semester! I cant wait!
she's very nice! looks intimidating at first. she talks confidently. she hates it when your late to class. 1 dig, 3 homeworks, 4 exams, and few extra credits. does exam reviews. lots of concept sheets but is really helpful.
Go! Go! She is fast, and likes quick answers. She is nice but her communication skills suck. I emailed her back and fourth for 2 weeks and she couldnt give me my score or grade and kept making excuses, tough grader nothing is multiple choice its fill in the blanks and short answers mostly. Classes only discussions i'm more of a paperwork person
She is a great teacher. One of the best I've ever had. Very helpful. Talks loud and quick so pay attention. What she says is very interesting. Loves class discussions and loves to hear what you have to say. Very few homework assignments. Tests are easy because she gives a study guide the class before a test.
I really enjoyed Mrs P's class. She is very passionate and knowledgeable on anthropology. As stated she talks very fast! So you have to pay close attention. You will have to study hard for her tests, but she does give most of the questions to the class before the test!
Honors-Prof.P can be intimidating at 1st,she doesn't take any crap. Be on time, pay attention in class and read assignments before class, otherwise she will call you out. She provides clear study guides for tests and extra credit. You have to TRY to NOT get an A. Don't let the 20 Pg. thesis paper for honors intimidate you, she will help if you ask
She is passionate about Anthropology and creates interest in her students. She demands respect, and is respectful of your opinion. Be on time & pay close attention. Take interest in the material and actively participate, you will excel. Great class & excellent professor. One of the best @ LMC.
She made me fall in love even more with Anthropology! I highly recommend her for Anthro006, she has incredible insight about culture and has such an interactive approach. Everyone in class loved her! Also, she teaches Anthro 007, and the class studies subjects such as human trafficking and I regret not taking that course. She's one of my favorites!
She talks really fast, but stop her if you're lost and she'll help you out. Overall this class is a little difficult just because there is so much information. It is very interesting though and the professor is very nice. Definitely take Anthro with her.
Didnt know a damn thing about Anthropology and now I fully understand it. This teacher knows her stuff. She doesn't B.S. concepts or ideas. She relates it to real life. Its good to take a teacher that cares and isnt bored of teaching his or her subject. She was alway happy and excited to teach. Take her
This class is "Nice and Easy".
She gives concept sheets out for almost every Chapter that we cover. Before every Quiz she tells us every question that will be on it and the Final is NOT accumulative!! She only has about 3 short papers and 4 quizes, including the final. So the points possible in her class arent so high, so study the quizes and youll be fine!
Although I took her class, she did not teach it as she was on leave. So, this review is for her sub, who taught directly from Padilla-Willsons directions. The class was super easy, just READ the text and ethnography. Do all the assignments, no homework, and participate in class!
She is an amazing teacher! I wasn't too excited about the class at first but she made everything super easy! all we had to do was read and take notes for hw and she told us wat to take the notes on. for the chapter tests she gives the exact questions that are one the test so there is now way you can't pass the class!
Awesome teacher, really helps the students thrive and succeed in their desire to get a good grade in the class.
She's a great teacher. Knows what she's talking about and has experience in her field. Her classes were always interesting as well as her stories. has few assignments and uses the book mostly in the beginning. highly recommended
If you're looking for an instructor who is passionate about Anthro, this is the class to take. Professor P is an awesome instructor. Read and complete concept sheets and you will do well on every exam. She will give you questions for the exam. If you don't understand something she will be sure to get you to UNDERSTAND.
Excellent instructor. Has real world expriennces immersed in various anthropological cultures.
Easy class she gives you the questions that will be on the test. Easy A with minimal effort. Be prepared to speak up in class because she will call on you.
Easy class, ask for concept sheets. It will save you a whole bunch of time reading, if you do that you will only have to read parts of each chapter instead of the whole chapter. I would take another class with this teacher. Amazing person one of the best teachers I ever had.
LOVE HER!!!! GOT ABOVE AN A ON ALL EXAMS DUE TO EXTRA CREDET QUESTIONS AT THE END.. A LOT OF READING, BUT ITS SO INTERESTING TO READ. I WILL BE TAKING ANOTHER CLASS OF HERS. HER CONCEPT SHEETS ARE A LIFE SAVER.. IF YOU PAY ATTENTION, ATTEND, AND DO YOUR CONCEPT SHEETS..GUARANTEED A. ONLY 3 ASSIGNMENTS OTHER THAN 4 TESTS.. AMAZING TEACHER. LOVE HER
Fantastic instructor. Gives out concept sheets so you don't have to read the entire chapter. She gives you the questions to the test, as long as you study you will get an A. Four 3 page response assignments w/definitions and offers extra credit on the test and extra credit assignments. 3 unit test and a final. Be ready to be called on!
The class requires a lot of reading. At least 1 chapter between classes. Your grade is from 3 critiques (4 page essays)and test scores only, but she gives you every question the session before the exam. As long as you do the reading and study the questions it is an easy A. She is very passionate about Anthropology and it rubs off on you.
Great teacher! She's super nice and as long as you do the concept sheets, listen in class and do the study guides she gives you, You can get an easy A in the class. Her assignments are easy and she gives a lot of extra credit. TAKE HER CLASS. You learn a lot and she's a cool teacher to have. I want to take more of her classes in the future!
She's so nice! I love how assertive she was. Class is so interesting and thought provoking. She really loves what she does and it shows. Fun and somewhat easy class.
Prof. Padilla is one of the coolest profesors I have ever had. Her class may seem difficult at first, but she gives you all the test questions before the test which makes passing them verry easy. She also give you study packets which you don't need to do but SHOULD do because it is based on the test and class discussion.
She is a fast talker. Very informed, engaging, and intellectually-stimulating class. Not a hard class at all, just read the textbook and participate during lectures. She gives you exactly what you need to study for the exams, so you will be set!
She is very tough with how she grades her papers, although her lectures are very informative.
I really enjoyed coming to class and listen to her lectures. Full of knowledge and want to share it with you. You must come to class is you want to pass, you must participate, and do your readings. Great class! Great teacher! Recommend taking this class.
She is one of the best teachers I've had. She is so passionate about anthropology and shows it. The lectures are very interesting and her stories about her experiences in the field are funny. Not a hard grader got A's on all my essays and tests. As long as you do your concept sheets you should be fine on the tests. Very engaging teacher
I especially appreciated how incredibly unbiased she is while introducing really interesting topics for conversation. Don't want to participate? She will make you. Don't be scared though, she creates such an open environment that it seems impossible to be uncomfortable to share, even during controversial and tough topics.
She is the best professor I have ever had and inspired me to be an anthro major! She genuinely cares about her students on a professional as well as personal level and will do anything to help you succeed. She gives you all the test answers as well as questions so it is an easy A as long as you apply yourself and study for exams. Love Mrs. P.
Love her authenticity! ! Realist teacher your gonna meet!!
She's super straightforward and literally gives you everything you need to get an A in this class. She's not one of those teachers who expects you to read the whole chapter of a book, she'll tell you exactly what's on the test. No surprises. I think there were 2 papers?
Loved this professor! I've taken her 3 times and I absolutely love her! Highly recommend taking her. Test are easy if you do the study guide and you will easily pass if you read the text book.
This class is relatively easy besides the 3 papers. She WANTS every student to pass and is very clear with what she expects from her students. Everything that is on the quiz is reviewed in class and her study/concept sheets are very helpful. I would take her other classes as well. Very good teacher.
I liked her class, and I kinda lucked out because she didn't make my class read the book she usually assigns. She also gives you concept sheets that have terms on them. She goes over all the terms during lecture but would like to have them done before class. Overall it was boring but easy. Just make sure you show up, listen, and fill out the sheet.
Ms. Padilla Wilson is beyond passionate. She loves anthropology and is extremely caring. She wants you to succeed in her class. I took her for honors anthro, so my class had to do a 20 page research paper. Other than that, great teacher. She gives you all the test questions the class before the test!
Best teacher at LMC hands down. When I first took her, I had no interest in going to school, she literally changed my life and made me love education. She is so passionate about her career in anthro & in education. She will do whatever it takes to ensure that you succeed. Do yourself a favor and take her. There is no way you can fail her exams.
Took this class for honors and it wasn't my favorite class but it kept me entertained. Because I was in Honors, I had to write a 20 page paper which I did decent on. Tests were multiple choice and super easy. Didn't feel like I learned a lot about anthropology though; felt more like I was learning how to write essays again.
I took Mrs. Wilson during my first semester of college and she was awesome. Her lectures were great and she is very knowledgeable about her subject as she has worked in the field of anthropology for years. As for the difficulty of the class, just show up and you'll easily pass. She gives all the questions for each test and you dont have to read.
Padilla's class is solely lecture based. Go to class and you'll pass if you take good notes. Participation matters, and you should really get to know the people sitting around you. She can be a little bit rude from time to time. Also, do not buy the textbook. As long as you take good notes, you will not need it at all.
Shes a great teacher. Her class is easy to pass just make sure to study before the tests and do the 3 assignments she assigns throughout the semester. If you need to take anthropology do it with her you wont regret it.
She is an amazing professor & really knows her subject matter. She tells lots of stories about her fieldwork which are very interesting. She really wants everyone to understand the subject & to pass the class so she makes it very easy to do. If you go to class & pay attention you will pass the class. Shes super nice & funny too which is a bonus.
Absolute gem of a teacher. She is very specific about what she wants. Her tests are fairly easy and none of the homework is very difficult. Most nights took me 30 minutes tops. She does assign 3 essays, but they're not that hard. Her lectures are fantastic and engaging. It's impossible to be board. You will have to participate, but not too much.
i took padilla over the summer and she's really chill, very entertaining with her random outbursts of stories and comedic moments. i would take her again & recommend her.
I absolutely loved this class. Shes an awesome professor and you learn so much. I left each class happy. Very clear with grading and what you need to do. In my opinion theres no reason to ever not pass her class. Wish I could take more anthropology because of her.
She knows her stuff and I'm impressed with the field work she has done and continues to do. She has a strong personality but very approachable. She is clear and to the point, which I loved. Great professor.
Padilla-Wilson as a person is the best college professor I've ever had. The class is super simple, with only 3 3-page homework responses through the whole semester. She also goes over the questions for the test to give as a review for every test.
Professor Padilla-Wilson is a caring instructor and she tries to incorporate class participation in her class but sometimes if feels like I'm just listening to her talk and talk. Her exams are easy and she grades papers like she's an English professor. You will pass her class.
She is an amazing teacher! She was very engaging and respected. She gives you all the questions, in order, that will be on the test, and she even gave us time to work on the answers together! Absolutely amazing and interesting class. Easy A if you put in minimal work. 10/10 recommend.
She is amazing! During lecture shell make sure everyone understands what shes talking about and engages the class by making jokes a lot. She tells a lot of interesting stories related to the topic were learning. Her tests are super easy since she gives the questions the class before. Highly recommended
Professor Padilla is a really good teacher. Her class is solely lecture based so def show up to class. The book isnt necessarily needed but is hella helpful b/c she goes quick in lecture. 3 essays & 3 tests. If you an easily easily A+ class I would suggest Professor Riley but still Professor Padilla is also amazing and her class is pretty easy too
THIS IS THE BEST PROFESSOR IVE EVER HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE! She has inspired me to pursue my college dreams and has helped motivate me to do well at school. She provides me with so many recommendations and resources to benefit my academic successes. By far my favorite class in college. I cant wait to take more classes with her!!
She is the wrost professor, she keep using phone during the class ,eating during class. On exam she resive call and she keep telling students to do fast she have date .
Professor P is a really good teacher. Her lectures are literally whats on the test. If you study for like 1 hour after she tells you whats on the test, then your good. Essays are pretty hard. You learn a lot too.
I recommend taking this class, as long as you do your work it's an easy A. She is a bit intimidating at first, but she is a great teacher! I barely used the textbook. The exams are pretty easy, but she assigns 3 essays that are a bit hard. Overall easy and very interesting class! I enjoyed learning & watching the documentaries of people's cultures.
Prof. P is amazing. She gives you a packet with all the terms you will learn then goes over them during lectures. She tells you all 50 questions before the exam. There are 3 papers during the semester that are a little difficult. She offers extra credit. She also shows interesting documentaries. You will not regret taking Professor P.
She's great! She wants you to pass. You get a study guide, she goes over it in class, then she tells you which questions are on the test. There are 3 papers and 4 tests for grades. That's it. You don't technically use the book, but it's good to have, and the questions/topics for the papers are in it, too. I would take her class again.
Attendance is mandatory, dont suggest being late either! Prof gives great lectures and makes sure we understood before moving on. Reviews study guides before every test, 3 papers write, easy A.
I am glad I took this class because I was able to learn so many new things. I advise you to ALWAYS use your concept sheets those are very helpful! Take good notes and you can pass with an A, make sure to turn in your work on time!
One of the worst profs I've ever had. Took her online. Complete chaos and disorder from day one, she seems to have no idea what she's doing. Everything is unclear, filled with errors, tons of reading, dull writing assignments. Would've learned more reading the book on my own. Would not recommend, but maybe she is better in person.
Really nice and funny teacher!! Very few assignments so it is critical you do well on them but the day before the test she GIVES YOU the questions WORD FOR WORD so you know EXACTLY what is going to be asked on the test; basically its handed to you. Once COVID happened she stopped doing that and just told us to use our books on the test hahaha
Took during covid lock down. As a mother of three so I'm sure you guys can all understand how difficult it is to stay fully on track when your work environment has three little ones demanding attention from you every second of the day. I missed the 1st assignment for her class & she was not understanding, would not let me make it up & no way of A
This was my absolute favorite professor!! Ive taken all of her classes and she has been an amazing teacher! Her class is pretty easy as long as you turn in all of your assignments. Lectures are amazing! Towards the end we got put in lockdown for Covid but she uploads lecture to YT so we can watch when its best for us! Open book Tests too!!
I love this professor!! Ive taken all of her classes and have enjoyed every one of them! This semester were online due to Covid-19 and she has handled it amazing! She posts all lectures on YouTube so we can view them whenever it is convenient for us! She also helps us and gives plenty of extra credit! As long as your work is done youll get an A
Love this class!! Took before Covid hit but loved the class in person! (and online as ive taken all her classes). Her lectures are amazing and all the students love her! She is an easy grader and as long as you do your work youll get an A! She goes over the TEST before we take it and does the best she can to make sure we all succeed! Best Prof!!
Recently lost my grandfather and had to travel outside the US where there was little to no internet and I came back from that funeral and explained to her the situation how I wasn't able to submit a paper or my 2 exam and she stated I couldn't do anything and just retake the course. In other words telling me to give up this semester.
Pretty rude and not very helpful, papers and quizzes really make or break your grade. Horrible at wording questions. Get ready to read or just take a better profesor
Very grateful for having this professor during online schooling. She makes sure that she is clear and does not overwhelm you with assignments. EVERY ASSIGNMENT COUNTS. She's very accessible and flexible, so if you have any questions there are no excuses to not meet her. She is very caring and understanding.
If you do not like writing I do not recommend this class, shes an amazing professor but is a very tough grader.
I had an amazing experience with Professor Padilla!!! As a first year college student she made class very understanding and I would always feel comfortable in what I was doing in this class. I would 100% recommend taking cultural anthropology with Professor Padilla. She is very caring towards her students and is always available! Favorite class!!!
This professor is very straight forward , she assigns reading chapters and gives a study guide to help you take notes that will be important to know for the tests, which help a lot!!! She is also not a very tough grader, her tests are reasonable. If u do the reading assignments you will do great!
During these difficult times this class & professor were very flexible. This class was a real eye opener to different cultures. The professor is on top of her grading & she is very passionate about what shes teaching. I appreciated her speedy replies when I had questions about assignments. I would definitely recommend this class!
I've been lucky enough to take Professor P for Anthro 5 & 6! She is truly one of the few professors that are super passionate about their subject and she really helps you understand the concept of the class. Her course and expectations are very clear and she wants to see you succeed. Do your concept sheets and watch her videos and you'll pass!
Professor Padilla-Wilson explains the material very well in her lectures. They are easy to follow along and everything she goes over is on the concept sheets that are really good ways to help study for test. She also gave clear instructions for all assignments and helpful fees back on assignments. Would highly recommend taking the class with her.
She was extremely straightforward about her assignments and due dates. The workload for the class was manageable. She was very considerate and easy to talk to.
Super easy class, concept sheets that she gives are super helpful for tests and quizzes
Professor Padilla-Wilson is an amazing professor with easy to understand lectures and not many difficult assignments! She is also very kind-hearted and will help you if you just ask. I already took 2 classes by her and passed both classes. I highly recommend you to take her classes!
Her class was super easy. She gave us a light amount of work and concept sheets for each chapter of the book that we had to read. To make it even easier she also posted youtube videos going over every concept sheet which you can follow along and fill out. She made her exams really easy and was bases off of what was on the concept sheets.
I loved this semester. Her tests and assignments are based on the book so you 100% need to get it however her concept sheets (basically a study guide) that you fill out while you read are AMAZING because everything on the test is on those. Her assignments are really clear and she is very caring, she wants her students to succeed. take her class!!
Professor Padilla is very helpful when it comes to understanding the lecture, she would make videos explaining the chapters of the readings that she assigns. Overall a great instructor and I will highly recommend her towards other students
I have taken all the classes possible with Professor P! Shes such an amazing professor! She definitely makes class fun and interesting.
Professor P is very helpful and gave great feedback on each paper that my grade went up each time :)
Professor P was a great teacher. The rubrics for the papers clearly state what should be on. Follow the rubric and you'll be set. The tests were a piece of cake as long as you read the chapters. I would definitely recommend taking this class as you'll be able to pass as long as you read and follow the rubrics that are provided.
Professor Padilla-Wilson is an awesome professor. I would definitely take her Introduction to archaeology class again. It was an online class that I thought was going to be harder but if you read the chapters, watch the videos, do the concept sheets that she assigned for homework, and you can easily pass. I recommend taking this class! Great class.
If you can teach yourself, then this class will be a breeze. There are no live or recorded lectures in her cultural anthropology class. It's a "read the entire textbook and then take a test on it" type class. Interesting material and her study guides are helpful sometimes. Make sure you write well because she grades hard on discussion board posts.
It is a self taught class. Very little material is given. Exams have confusing questions, which makes it slightly harder to do well in the class. I wouldn't take the class again because I didn't learn much, but it's a manageable GE course to take. She also gives little to no feedback, along with no opportunities to improve scores on assignments.
Have taken 2 different class of hers, would take again! She is a cool teacher, as long as you do the basic reading, and fill out the study guides. There isn't a lot of HW: 3 Exams, two essays, and a few discussion posts. Open-book quizzes that are very fair! She posts all her lectures that coincide with her study guides on Youtube: "Professor P"
Its a very insightful class to take. Professor P makes the lectures fun with her YouTube videos on some chapters. The rest of the chapters you read in the textbook on your own. At the end of each module you have to write a discussion board or a critical thinking paper.
I was worried about taking an online course but I was eager to learn with Professor Padilla-Wilson She presented interesting lectures & made her availability flexible. She truly made my semester one of the best Ive ever had. As a a senior, I have had my fair share of professors and the good ones stand out. She has caring disposition & the best!
Good class to take not so much work. overall the class is easy as long as you do the work. Professor answers any questions you might have.
Professor P is a nice and caring professor that wants you to succeed. She gives an adequate amount of time to do your assignments and gives great feedback on them. The course wasnt too difficult for being online, just make sure you read the textbook and the provided material and you will be fine
This was definitely an easy A class. The professor is understanding and compromises. She rounded my grade up to an A too! I definitely recommend taking this class.
Very lenient professor, easy to follow instructions, very quick response time. Would take a class again if possible! :)
Great professor with good communication and willing to stick her neck out for students success.
The professor is nice and her lecture is fun but I feel that its not up to date. Im currently doing an online class and theres no Zoom meetings except you have to make an appointment for office hours. Plus I could be wrong but Exams and or other tests dont hold your progress on Canvas.
I had her for my summer class, and it was one of the most interesting and informational classes I've taken. The professor is very clear and good at communicating. 10/10 would recommend.
Took her class for the summer. Amazing and would recommend !
Very understanding and flexible teacher. Great video lectures and even better with her students. Would recommend her to any other student looking to take anthropology!
She comes across as harsh or as a tough grader, but she honestly makes things SO easy for you. You go to class, you read, you participate and listen, and it is easy enough. There were only 3 papers for the entire semester and she really did make them easy to understand and write. It was fun to learn in her class!
She was a solid professor, I am glad she was my teacher.
Great and interesting class. Her video lectures aren't boring, they're very fast paced and straight to the point. I liked that for the essays we had 3 prompts to choose from with really interesting topics from the unit. As long as you fill out your concept sheets, you're set.
She was an amazing professor. She was accessible and would meet with me on zoom around my schedule. Her Canvas course was easy to follow, informative, test results are given immediately, great feedback, and I would take her again. Her lectures are great and she makes them less than 15 minutes long. I really enjoyed her class.
Awesome class! For an online course she was fun and her lectures great. Her feedback helped me improve my grade and get an A. She inspired me to major in anthropology and I'm going to take other courses with her. She even told me to take other Professors to see different perspectives. She talked with me about jobs too. She is the best.
I really enjoyed this class. A lot of online courses are hard to follow, thus canvas course was clear and simple to get through. The lectures are in the canvas course and on YouTube. She was nice and funny. Lectures were great.
This online course was fun and we didn't need a lot of materials. We only had to buy or rent 1 book. She provided everything else for the class. Her lectures were funny, fast, and covered the material on the concept sheets that she gives in the Canvas course. I really liked her and the subject matter. I never took an anthropology class before this.
Professor P is really cool! For being an online course she was always available and ready to go over the material. I would take her again and recommend this class. I liked her lectures and they were fast and to the point. Great class!
She was always ready to help and meet up with me on zoom. She would go over assignments and explain things well.
This class covered lots of different topics and her lectures were great. Her Canvas course was easy to follow with all her lectures embedded in the modules. All the materials and articles were all in her modules. Such a well structured online course!
The class was clear and easy to follow. She communicated well with me and answered emails quickly. She was always available in her office hours and zoom sessions. She was nice and friendly.
She was really cool and funny. Super nice and helpful. She explained things to me in an easy and clear way.
I have taken all 3 courses with Professor P. and she structures them in a similar style. Her videos and lectures are easy, fast, and fun. She is always ready for office hours and willing to talk. I'm currently in anthropology 6 and it's my favorite so far. Great Professor.
Professor P. Met with me several times not during her office hours because I couldn't meet during her time slots. She was nice and helped me a lot. I would take her again.
P is extremely nice and caring. I had a few issues and she helped me out and met with me to get back on track. She made me feel better and gave me lots of hope about being successful
This teacher made anthropology seem like such an interesting topic. From the way her body language was shown in the lectures truly shows how much she really cares about the topic. 10/10 class, would highly recommend to any students!
She is amazing and a great teacher. Professor P is fantastic at lectures with very easy and put together assignments. Definitely take her, she is excellent!
I absolutely loved Professor Padilla-Wilson! She was on time with grading, gave good feedback, and her lecture videos were never boring or off track!! Very straight to the point, which made learning about cultural anthro so fun and easy!
A great professor that provides many opportunities for success.
Professor Padilla was amazing! She made the class so interesting and made you excited to learn about new topics in Anthropology. She paced the class well with reading and assignments. Overall a wonderful class.
Professor Padilla was so much fun! She had very clear lectures and organized class materials, and I was able to turn in every assignment with ease thanks to her clear instructions and excellent feedback. She always graded her assignments in a timely manner and if there's an issue with scheduling, she always leaves an announcement for the class.
I really enjoyed the Professor Padilla-Wilson! She always gives us feedback on our papers just a few days after you submitted! Very great at the lectures that goes with our exams like exactly like the exam! Definitely would take her again
She is very nice and as long as you do the work, you'll pass.
very helpful responds very quickly, not a ton of assignments and the ones given do help with understanding the material
Professor P was great! Lectures were fun and very interesting. She was very clear on the assignments, responded to emails and messages in under 24 hours. Very fast grader and gives great feedback. I would definitely take her again.
Her class was one of my most favorite classes to take I took in a lot of information when it comes to culture, study of cultures, the meaning of anthropology, and globalization.
Straightforward class. Take your notes and you will do just fine. She is helpful, gives great examples, and wants her students to succeed.
Her course was one of my favorites, and I learned a lot about culture, cultural study, anthropology, and globalization in it. She had amazing lectures as well and has great concept sheets to help you with the tests. Great class!
She is so generous in the way that on the last day of the class, she let me do the extra credit so that I would end with an A! This class has an very light workload and her concept sheets along with her video lectures are a recipe for success- they help with the written assignments, exams, and discussion boards! 11/10 professor !
Amazing teacher. Gave out few assignments, but all were easy to ace if you follow the directions and read the chapters. Class was very interesting and made much better with the teacher's video lectures. Assignments were easy to understand and made sense to what was taught. Textbook was interesting as well. Friendly professor with quick responses.
I loved her and she honestly was one of the major influences i changed my major
She is a great teacher and all assignments are very clear to follow. The lectures were so interesting to watch and helped out so much on the tests! This class was one of my favorites.
Professor P is a great teacher! She makes her own lectures which she posts on her YouTube channel and they are very helpful. I took her Cultural Anthropology class and overall the class was not too difficult, although it does take time to do the work. I would definitely take her class again!
Easy A yet very interesting topics. Outstanding lecturer. Explains the concepts a lot simpler than the textbook. I really enjoyed this class and the discussion topics. Super easy to pass and get an A.
Only 4 exams including the final and like 4 discussions BEWARE that the discussion posts are graded more on your peer replies than the actual discussion. Each worth 50 and the discussion itself is 10 & peer reply is 20. Missed peer response on 1 and my grade went down a whole letter & had A's on all others & exams. teacher did not care at all
Overall this was a good and not too challenging class to take online. Professor P is a tough grader -- treat every discussion/paper like a formal essay. Will mark you down points without explanation; high expectations but misspells things and her exams are a mess. Sends condescending emails. Take thorough notes on lectures and you will be golden.
She has fast lectures, use book on exams, and is cool.
Professor Padilla-Wilson gave great feedback on papers. She has only 2 papers and the discussion boards were not difficult but related to our readings. She met with me outside office hours and zoomed according to my schedule.
Mrs. P gives one assignment every two weeks, and grades them all equally. If you mess up on the strict grading once, your grade will drop a full letter grade and there is no hope for a high grade. Her tests are directly copied and pasted from quizlit, and when asked questions, wont help you in why you were wrong. Easy class, learned nothing.
Very tough grader i had 79.25% in her class i just asked her for one point to make my grade up to a B but she didn't do it!
For this class, you'll basically are going to read a chapter every week and use the concept sheets she gives to help you take notes. Also, she prepares short lectures on Youtube which was helpful to me because of the way she broke concepts down. There were a total of 4 multiple-choice exams, 4 writing assignments, and 1 extra credit opportunity.
I took the online course during covid and she was very unhelpful when asking for help. She is NOT lenient at all on deadlines.
There are very few assignments so things were weighted heavily. I emailed once because I wanted clarification about a point in her rubric, and she emailed back saying she won't answer questions that are "already answered in the rubric" and to read it thoroughly again. Not helpful at all.
Bad bad bad !!! She thinks she knows it all very rude !
She was cool! Helped me and met outside of office hours. Zoomed with me and clarified work.
1 textbook needed and her lectures are on YouTube. They are funny and fast. Her modules on Canvas easy to follow.
I was about to drop out of school and Professor P met me and helped me stay focused. She said I was a rising star and archeology was my favorite class.
P was nice on zoom and explained assignments well. The Canvas course was clear and exams not accumulative. The final exam on the last section of book and lectures.
Only a couple assignments and if you miss one your grade drops and she isn't very helpful. she thinks she knows everything and responds really rude to emails and very strict with deadlines and has no sympathy for any excuse even if its an emergency.
Amazing professor! Her assignments are criminally easy but there aren't many assignments. She is extremely lenient when grading and if you don't get full credit she'll explain why in her feedback. She also provides extra credit assignments in case you screw up somehow. Tests are open notes & open book. Take her classes whenever you can!!!
I took it this summer. The course involved critical thinking and a fast pace. The reading was substantial. Completing the provided concept sheet is crucial to getting an A+ on quizzes. For discussions, timely submission and meeting requirements ensure an easy A+. Overall, staying punctual and following the concept sheet makes acing the class easy.
The class was extremely easy, and I would 100% recommend it as a summer class. The only things that count as points are 4 canvas discussions and 4 tests. Tests are open note and you get 2 hours to do 50 questions (multiple choice). You get concept sheets with vocabulary words that she explains in her lectures, which are 10-15 minutes.
i LOVE professor P. as long as you do the assignments and follow the rubric you will get an A+! i swear some of these bad reviews are crazy as she makes it clear she will NOT bump grades and that all assignments are explained in detail in the rubric. she is the best professor at LMC and if you can take a class with her DO IT!!
My favorite college teacher ever! She convinced me that I was good enough to do whatever I put my mind to! Now in a PhD program when I thought I would be a community college drop out. She is so nice and if you are struggling and need help she will always be there for extra help!
Professor Padilla-Wilson can be a tough grader, but the class format with online lectures and straightforward assessments makes it manageable. unstuckstudy was a helpful study companion alongside the textbook. Overall, an engaging yet challenging course.
I had to take this class for pre requisite and it was okay. She gives you a week to do the assignments and is clear that she doesn't accept late work. She is a bit of a though grader but if you follow instructions you'll be fine. She does provide extra credit which is helpful to boost your grade.
She taught anthropology in an easy and simple way. She made the concepts clear and fun.
This archeology course was easy to follow on canvas and all the material was organized. Rubrics were great! Really enjoyed this professor.
Responsive, clear, and easy to follow.
My favorite professor at LMC. She convinced me that i was a great student and can accomplish anything. If you follow the guidelines it will be an easy A. She is also always in her zoom office hours. Wish all my professors were like her.
Professor P had detailed lectures. She is funny and caring.
Professor P really cared about me. She checked on me throughout the semester and always helped me. My favorite professor at LMC.
P is the kind of teacher that is passionate about anthropology. She is clear and organized. Her expectations are straight forward and explained throughout the modules. She cares a lot! Probably my favorite professor.
Professor P is clear and cares about her students doing good. She made me feel good when I felt like dropping the course. She inspired me and let me know that I could do well in the class. Her lectures are funny and short. I would take all her classes.
Would definitely take P again. I did a hybrid course and she was cool in person too. Great lectures and fun topics. All the material related to real life situations. Everything is clear and expectations all in the modules.
Love her!! Her lectures are really fun to watch for online courses, and there's not a lot of assignments. She can be a tough grader on the discussion posts, but everything else is super simple. Would definitely take again!!
Professor Padilla was okay, I did find her class a tad bit interesting but her personality rub me off the wrong way. She is passionate with her teaching, however she was really passive aggressive with emails and especially when it comes to critiquing research papers. But overall I do love how passionate she is!
If you dont respond to a discussion page with the same opinion that she has she will give you 20% you can do good on all exams and this will lead you to fail
Everything is worth 50 points. She has 2 extra credit assignments and is passionate about anthropology. She is not a tough grader and the class is easy to follow. She was a great lecturer. If you do the work and easy A. She was nice on zoom. I would take her again.
I was about to drop out of school and P reached out to me. She is passionate and helped me stay focused. She listens and was respectful. I would take her again.
Professor P is kind and her lectures are fun. Follow the modules and you will be successful. Always in her office hours and her class was easy to follow.
Hate her. Very confusing to understand what she's asking for her assignments. Grading is difficult. Although she doesn't have a lot of assignments most of the work is studying textbook. For ex: Study chapter 1-6 then do the discussion board and take the 50 question exam. 4 exams total. Highly recommend doing her extra credit assignments!!!
There were only, like, 7 graded assignments throughout the 5 month course, but don't let that fool you into thinking it will be easy. She is a tough grader, yet the assignment directions are vague and misleading. I would suggest you do the extra credit, because she WILL dock points. Doesn't 'teach' so much as assigns textbook chapters to read.
Just took the final exam and loved her class. She was clear and the assignments were detailed. She sent out announcements with weekly reminders. Her modules were easy to follow. I would definitely take her again.
She is passionate about anthropology and is very engaging. The online course flowed and was very easy to navigate. The assignments and exam were easy. No surprises! She was also kind and also available in her office hours.
Avoid this professor. Accuses students of using AI without any proof and will dock points. Discussion Boards are worth the same as exams. If you screw up once, there is no way of getting your grade back up. Extremely strict late policy, absolutely no exceptions. Grade average for the class on each assignment was a C. Grades quickly which is nice.
AVOID! You will not get your grade up if you miss a discussion. 10/50 points are from your long response and the other 40 (yes, forty) is from two responses to students. OH and she might accuse you of AI for no reason and knock you down points. Take another class and ANY other professor. Should not be the department head btw.
This class was easy and straightforward. I would definitely take another class with her. 4 discussion boards and fun topics. Her lectures are funny and no more than 20 minutes long. Great teacher.
Professor P is excellent! She was incredibly helpful throughout the semester. I met with her during office hours several times, and she patiently guided me through writing a paper in archaeology. We even went over paragraphs together, which was helpful. Her dedication and willingness to support students really stood out. Highly recommend her!
She was fantastic! Anthropology 005 was such an interesting class, and she made the material easy to understand. As a freshman, I really appreciated how approachable she was—always willing to answer questions and explain concepts clearly. Her lectures were engaging, and she created a welcoming environment, I highly recommend taking her class!
I really enjoyed this professor! She provided two extra credit opportunities, which was great if you missed an assignment, you had options to make up. While she has a strict late policy, she keeps discussion boards open for over a week. The workload was manageable, and I never felt overwhelmed. I will take another one of her course!
Professor P was super nice and always supporting with nice messages throughout the week. Her tests are pretty easy, they are all open note, she does grade the papers pretty hard so definitely do the extra credit. There is a textbook and she expects you to read a lot but I found a book online so that should not be a problem for anyone to not take!
This professor went above and beyond! After the class ended, she personally reached out to tell me that I was a rising star. She even called me an exceptional scholar, which was such a wonderful surprise-I've never had a professor do that before. It really showed how much she cares for her students. The class was great, well-organized, and engaging
Her lectures were clear and tied directly to the textbook chapters, which made it easy to follow along. She explained concepts very well and made sure everything was understandable. The course followed the textbook closely, and the concept sheets were directly connected to the exams—so there were no surprises. I definitely recommend her!
She was always willing to help me and made herself available whenever I had questions. Her office hours were reliable and easy to attend. I would take several classes with her again. Not too much work. She always kept the class informed on assignments. Nice teacher!
Wasn't the greatest experience with an online class. The class itself was straightforward but she not lenient at all... she does not care if it's your first assignment and you missed a question. You will have an F. Just expected a bit more compassion but welp. Just going to find another professor.
She is incredibly kind. She encourages students to connect the material to their own personal experiences. She is very clear about expectations from the start of the semester and provides plenty of time to complete assignments. While she does not accept late work, her discussion boards are straightforward, I would definitely take her class again.
At one point, I was considering dropping the class, but she personally reached out and scheduled a Zoom meeting to guide me through my concerns. Her encouragement made all the difference. She helped me develop better time management skills and ensured I understood that student success was her priority. I would absolutely take another class with her
She is an outstanding instructor. Her lectures are well-structured and easy to follow, and she's always willing to connect with students, which makes the class feel personal and supportive. She clearly explains her expectations, so there are no surprises. The course includes a few papers. I would gladly take another class with her.
Right from the start, she explains exactly how to do the assignments and grading, so there's no confusion. The papers for this class were very doable. Plus, she grades fast, which is a huge relief because you always know where you stand. I'd definitely take another class with her. Stress free instructor.
Super chill class! Only 4 exams the whole semester, plus some discussion boards. There were 2 extra credit chances, which was awesome. Honestly, if you just go through the modules, you'll be fine—getting an A can be easy. The workload is fair and nothing crazy. Overall, a really balanced class where everyone can succeed. Highly recommend!
You really can't fail her class. She makes it so students can get good grades. The only way to fail her class is if you didn't do any work. You can get in touch with her several ways and she was willing to meet with me anytime. Her class was fun and her assignments always connected to the material and our lives. I would take her again.
The Canvas course had her lectures, assignments, worksheets, articles, documentaries… all organized and easy to follow. If you just go through the content and do the work, you'll do great. I took 3 of her classes and recommend her.
She's passionate about anthropology and really cares about her students. Super easy to connect with and always approachable. Her lectures were quick, clear, and easy to understand—no fluff, just what you need. I'd definitely take her again without hesitation!
Professor P is awesome! Her Canvas course was next-level organized—seriously, everything you could need was right there. No guessing, no stress. Honestly, this was a smooth online class. If you get the chance, take her—you won't regret it!
She was always so supportive and genuinely cared about helping us understand the material. You can really tell she puts a lot of time and effort into teaching. Her guidance throughout the course made everything feel clear. I truly appreciated her dedication—she made the class a great experience. I'm taking another class with her in the spring.
This professor knows a lot about anthropology, which made it fun to learn from her-pretty organized, chill, lectures funny, and would take her again. I went to her office hours and she was cool.
I truly appreciate her encouragement and the time she took to recognize my work at the end of the semester. She helped me grow as a student, and I'm grateful for the support and guidance she provided. I learned about many Archaeological sites and what it takes to become an archaeologist in the future. I would take her again.
Awesome anthro prof! She was friendly, really insightful, and her online setup was easy to navigate. The class flowed smoothly and made the material easy to keep up with. I'd definitely take another course with her!
