This professor is very clear and informative. If you are sensitive don't take her demeanor personally, she is very matter of fact. Class was very interesting. Lots of reading and lots of research. she is a fair grader.

This class is just bad, lazy teaching, in fact none. Very long passages explaining assignments yet leaves huge room for confusion. Each student does almost each assignment completely different so it's obviously a common theme. NONSENSE assignments, FULL OF NONSENSE, lazy assignments that take 4 hours to do and are only 20 points. So disorganized.

She does not lecture in any way, there is no textbook to go off of which would be fine if she would at least give us worksheets to read before giving us assignments but instead Canvas is filled with assignments and nothing to go by. She expects students to google/youtube everything.

This Professor is unorganized, video and creating silly content heavy. She gives no clear expectations for her class. She is very passive aggressive and pretty rude when asked a simple question. Do NOT take.

This class may be easier to follow in in-person format, rather than online. The text type info comes from many different sources. Lots of open ended questions. Effort counts with this Professor.

I'm taking her 8-week online course and it's awful. Her instructions are written sloppily, everything is disorganized. Most of the course involves written "lectures" that seem to have no purpose or summaries of long videos. I really wanted to enjoy this class but with easily given assignments that demand tedious work, I only care about passing now

This professor is absolutely awful. This is a one credit class and I had to do more work for this class than all my other classes this semester combined. She gives very unclear instructions and you have to re-read the instructions like ten times just to somewhat understand what is being asked.

Half of the assignments have nothing to do with biological anthropology. The assignments are not related to a text book and the professor does absolutely no teaching or lectures, you have to google everything to learn. You have about two assignments due every other day and they are worth around 20 points but take about 5 hours to do each. Awful.

Hello all, I just wanted to let you all know that this teacher is incredibly passive aggressive with her responses, and instructions really confusing. I've had to do assignments that are for no absolute reason to be more harder than my 3 other classes. Although I did take this class initially since I was interested, I was just more worried to pass.

There's no reason for her to have students doing extremely long and meaningless assignments for 4+ hours just to receive 15 points. She gives unclear instructions then will tell you the point of the assignment is to "figure it out." Then when you turn it in, she blows it up and marks you for every single thing she considers an error. Not cool.

I was appalled at every aspect of this professor & her class. Not only is she incredibly inconsistent while grading, but her assignments are very confusing and could take students up to 8 hrs to complete for a mere 20 points. Her rude/snarky public comments towards students in discussions are shameful, & she believes wikipedia is a trusted source.

I took the lab class this semester and finished it in about 4 weeks. Once you achieve 400 points you get an A and are done with the class. Don't get me wrong, assignments can be lengthy but if you knock out all the assignments in the first few weeks you won't regret it because as the course progresses it gets harder.

I took her Lab after I took Anthropology 101 she is pretty direct with her assignments, but she really likes to be nit-picky towards the work especially if it is a lot of work. but on the upside if you do a certain amount of assignments, you can end the classes early then the semester. (I don't know if thats allowed but she did that for my class)
