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.

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.

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.

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.
