An excellent teacher with a passion for Anth. Her lectures are clear although expectations are sometimes not. A minor paper, tests are fairly difficult. A fantastic speaker who tries to make everything understandable to everyone.

She was an excellent instructor. She was quite passionate, and made you think critically of the world and the people in it. If I at all believed in evolution, I would definitely be taking Anthro as my major because of her class.

Lisa is passionate and therefore her classes are really interesting. She explains things well but her essay marking is difficult.

Well, she tries hard to be a good professor but doesn't pull it off. She seems a bit unsure of herself academically, on any topic besides archaeology anyway. Hard-ish tests, fairly boring lectures, but could be worse

Lisa is the most amazing prof. I have ever had! She is passionate and knowledgeful, and she engages the class in interesting discussion. I have found her to be willing to help me even after I wasn't in any of her classes anymore. She has high standards for grammar, but certainly not unattainable.

shame on you for calling her a creep and a loser!! I think this prof speaks to her class like they're human. she's funny, and very intelligent. This class is a little tougher, but she is a wonderful person with some very funny stories.

I really loved her class, though I had planned on hating it!She really made me want to take anthro as my major, because she was so passionate, and makes you know that you can make a difference in the world if you try.Her exams require you to actually be in class and study, no slackers should bother.

Amazing prof, very passionate about the subject with a great personality. Awesome stories, I enjoy her class, and her tests aren't too bad.

She's great and a very nice person. The 2 Anthro courses I've taken have been very easy and Lisa attempts to gain a more reasonable class average by making long exams and insisting that you know your stuff well to do well. Imagine that! If she was easy on such a simple subject the class avg would be 90 and it wouldn't be transferable. Try reading!

Want to boost your GPA? try studying. Intro doesnt actually mean easy. Yes Lisa's exams are long but not hard. You use every possible minute to write the exam but if you study you'll breeze through it. She's funny and interesting. So she doesnt like it if you talk in class. Im sure you can keep your mouth shut for the duration of it. Shes great!!!

Lisa is a wonderful prof in that she is approachable and clear on what she expects from her students. Exams are based on lectures mostly, the book defintely helps. Very clear on what is being marked on in assignments. She will not tolerate any form of racism or discrimination. Taking her class boosted my GPA.

she is very good

Yes, her exams are hard, but she is actually an excellent prof. She is very commited to her students and very helpful. If you work hard and read your notes and texts, you will do fine on her exams.

in the 3 years since i took this class i haven't met anyone who doesn't like Lisa as a prof. her tests challenge you to do your readings and study. in regards to her problems with talking in class, my hat's off to her. i paid to take this class and want to hear my prof, not the people behind me. if you want to talk just don't come to class. great!!

I really enjoy anthropology because of Lisa. She's got a bit of a dark sense of humour, which sits fine with me because I'm the same way, but it ties in with class lectures. Her powerpoint notes are good, and she leaves them up long enough for you to get it all down. Make sure to go to class because she doesn't give her notes out if you miss class.

I think she is a great teacher. She tests very fair on content that she emphasizes in class. You need to attend the class to do well because the text isn't helpful but the lectures are great and very interesting. I skip alot of classes and this is one I wouldn't even want to.

Um, I'm not too sure what class the whiners were taking but it sure wasn't one of Lisa's. You guys must be the hugest slackers and wish you could get marks for breathing. Lisa has to be one of the best profs I have ever had and I am trying to get into another one of her classes because she rocks!

she's a good teacher with clear lectures and interesting material, but she'll try to shove her POV down your throat. She encourages class discussions that have little to do with course material, and when she gets off topic, she'll go on hearsay-based diatribes without any evidence to support her outrageous claims. A fun class though.

Another professor I thought was excellent. She does a good job clarifying information and conversations around the classroom were lively and involved. I think she is a fun easy-going professor.

Can't believe the bad comments! Amazing teacher, very passionate. Extremely easy class. All you had to do is show up and write the notes. Her questions on the exams are practically exactly from the notes or disscussions in class. Read the text for the mutiple choice though...

Awesome teacher. One of my favourite. She is funny and engaging. Passionate about her subject but doesn't impose her beliefs on you. Her tests are extremely straightforward. Attend the lecture and take notes and you will do absolutely fine.

She is an amazing teacher, who always keeps you interested.

Lisa is a great prof. She encourages lost of class discussion.

Great prof. Made lectures interesting and took time for class discussion. Almost made me switch to an anthropology major

Amazing teacher! Turned me onto Anthropology. Notes are very clear, and easy to understand. She has incredible ways of explaing the most complex things into the easiest theory out there. I would take all my anthro classes from her if I could.

Lisa is outstanding. She tells wonderful stories and keeps the interest of her students. Being in class is essential for mid-terms and final!!

AMAZING. she makes the subject so unbelievable interesting. If you get her, you wont be let down. And you will understand everything! The best teacher i have ever had

funny

Lisa is the best prof I've had by far. Classes are interesting and engaging. If you attend class regularly you should have no problem with exams. I would take another class with her in a heartbeat!

Great prof. Best class I've had by far. Very interesting. Read the required readings and you'll do fine. Her notes are the answers to all your questions on her exams. Can't get any better than that.

she is so funny it makes her class one of my favourites. I had no idea how good antho would be and when I take more, I will do my best to get into hers. she is just great!!

Lisa gives highly detailed exams, so be prepared for that. There is alot of reading involved in this course, and you will need to do it if you want an A or B. She doesn't give out notes if you miss class, so I'd recommend not missing it. Not the hardest class, even the average slacker can pull off a B.

Ok, I had to pipe in here and give my 2 cents because I am really shocked that people actually have anything bad to say about this prof. She is extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and encourages discussion. She tells you what will be on the exams, so as long as you pay attention and take the provided notes, you won't be surprised about exam content.

amazing prof!!!

such a good teacher. im actually excited to go to this class because we talk about the most interesting things and have class discussions. very clear and organized so its easy to learn from her. im going to try and get her again if i take another anth class.

Very nice.She was very clear and had a sense of humor which helped.I also appreciated that she didn't just ignore you if you said "hi" to her in the hallway.Her PowerPoint lectures were great and she seemed to enjoy teaching.Overall,I would highly recommend her.

best prof ever

AMAZING prof! her classes are interesting and shes so nice and helpful. anyone can do good in this class as long as you just show up for class. loved her!!

She's an awesome teacher, knows her stuff and does a very good job of explaining it. You can tell she loves what she does, and she has a pretty good sense of humour.

Amazing prof! Class was always interesting and she never failed to make me laugh! I would recommend to anyone!

AMAZING PROF! VERY HUMOROUS! exams are very fair as long as you attend every class. keeps class interesting! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

VERY WELL SPOKEN AND VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT THE SUBJECT

I had Lisa for the majority of my anthro classes at MacEwan and if I had the option I would take more through her. I found her to be a wonderful teacher. She is passionate, humorous, and intelligent. She DOES NOT run her class like a bootcamp and course work is expected to get a good grade. A's and B's don't come for free kids.

She's Amazing, she's so funny and loves what she does. she makes the class interesting.

One of the best profs I have ever had! she has fun with what she does, which makes class extremely interesting. If you take notes, pay attention, and study a few days prior to the exam, you should have absolutely NO problem getting a good grade

Best prof ever! This class was so much fun and extremely interesting. She made me want to carry on in Anthropology. Tests were fair and if you study, you'll do well. Do anything you can to get her as a prof

She is a fantastic prof! I also ended up taking her 110 class, she's hilarious! She has clear & consise notes and is always willing to help with concepts you don't understand. I wish I could take all my Anth classes from her. I also really like how she gets to know each student and she treats you like an equal. :)

She is an amazing prof!!! Her class is incredibly interesting. Attendance is mandatory, but you'll never regret attending her class. Going into the class I had no interest in the subject, but after I took her class I am going to major in anthro.

Fun Prof, had lots of good examples to explain notes. That said, she sometimes gets a bit off topic and our class was behind schedule because of that. Her first 2 midterms are fair and generally easy if you're in class and do the readings. The final was more difficult before. A lot of specificity. Overall she was fun and fair.

very nice teacher but when it comes to exams it suppose to be option class but it dropped my GPA. HARD Multiple choice!!! she is fun teacher but most of the times during lecture she would go off topic. great experience but wrong examss

Great prof. So much fun to go to class, and you learn such different things than you would every imagine you would learn in any other class.

Uhhh, there is no such thing as an "option class". What is an "option" for you is someone else's major. Why should the prof make the class easy just for you? Do the work and you will be fine. Great prof.

Hands down the best prof I have ever had, her tests are a little hard but if you listen in class and actually try you will do fine

Lisa made me love anthropology. I may be taking anthropology as a minor because of her passion and enthusiasm. I'd recommend her classes to anyone. very fair, exams are not too hard, and she makes creative ways to remember things, such as "the zombie apocalypse".

Lisa is an extremely passionate teacher and keeps you drawn in constantly. All I can say is she is amazing! However, her tests are absolutely brutal, but she is willing to help everyone. This course is extremely challenging, and she is a hard marker! I would recommend this class if you are willing to work hard.

She is amazing. The best professor I have ever had. I wish I could take all of her classes. I LOVE her. If you are lucky enough to get into her class show up! It is one of the classes you would be mad at yourself for missing.

Amazing teacher, knows her stuff. Interesting class, and she is hilarious. You will fail if you skip class. The exams are difficult, and the questions are unclear. She wants SPECIFIC answers, so read the text METICULOUSLY, and make DETAILED NOTES. If you attend 100% of the time, have excellent notes and memory, you should get A or A-

She is the best prof I've ever had very clear and organized, keeps things interesting.Really couldnt ask for a prof to do anything more. She is very helpful and easy to talk to. Attend class, make notes in class, read and note the text, and you'll do more then well in this class. Shes an amazing prof, absolutely loved her class!

OMG Lisa is awesome! She is really enthusiastic and organized. She gets really passionate about some topics, making them all the more interesting. She didn't really use the text book, but if you took notes in class you got an easy pass on the tests. She is one of the best anthro profs i've ever had

AMAZING PROF. I love her!!! She is so passionate about what she teaches, and sooo funny! At first she comes off a little bit intimidating, but if you ever go talk to her in her office she is so friendly and helpful. This is a class that I was always excited to go to.

Lisa is definitely passionate about Anthro, which makes the course interesting. Her class notes were good, but I did find the readings from the textbook to be boring and lengthy. She tests from her in class notes, so attendance is recommended. Overall she's a good professor who truly does want her students to succeed. Very interesting course/prof.

Awesome teacher! By far my favorite class this term. She makes learning fun and interesting. As long as you come to class, make notes and do the readings you should be able to get a good mark no problem. Also, she likes class discussion so if there's something the class brings it up and is relevant she will talk about it and even put it on the exam

Lisa is amazing! My favorite prof out of all the ones I've had at GMAC. So passionate and funny, makes lectures really interesting. I don't know why people are saying it's impossible to get a good mark. Go to class and take notes, and do all the readings, but reading everything just once worked fine for me. Such a good prof.

Lisa is passionate about anthro, which makes her good to listen to. Her guidance for her exams was somewhat vague because she says that she tests everything. Make sure you copy down every example she uses. It's a good class to have later in the day. Avoid 8 am time slots if possible.

Go to class. Take the extra notes. She gives you her note outlines for everything. Read the textbook. Read every reading. Do not cram! (DUH) Make a friend to talk to about the material because the best way to learn it is through an open discourse. See the broad perspective and connect the dots.

For an intro course her expectations are unrealistic. The length of tests are pretty ridiculous. Had MC, Definitions, short answer (which were required to be half a page each), and a 3 page long answer question.

Lisa's final exam is VERY long, I finished with only a 4 minutes left (3 hour exam). Course work is manageable, but come exam time its information overload. I found it impossible to remember everything that was required and I did study quite a bit.

Great professor - her lectures are important AND interesting so you might as well go. She doesn't drill you about reading the textbook chapters because this isn't high school but you should read the text. The majority of multiple choice is from text information.

I did not apply myself much but still got a passing grade. Got really high marks with assignments, low marks on the quizzes which were open book but never read the textbook. If you take this class online get really good marks in the quizzes and assignments, you will get a easy mark. Exam questions are on everything but her guidelines are the exam.

Lisa is a great prof! Very hard marker on midterms and finals but assignments are very easy. She makes the class fun with examples and stories. You HAVE to attend class!!!

Lisa is an AMAZING individual! Very passionate about anthro, which makes her lectures very interesting. Taking thorough notes during class is the key to succeeding in this class. I BARELY skimmed the text, but my class notes were good enough for me to score an B+. The MC on the exams were tricky, but the written will be a breeze if you attend class

Lisa was an awesome prof! Going to class and looking over the textbook are essential to passing her classes. She is very clear about what she expects and will help anyone who asks for it

She was very helpful,especially for an online course. A large workload, but she broke it down well. The final exam is quite extensive, but was reasonable. She responded quickly to any emails. Also, she covers some controversial topics in her course but always provides an alternative option for anyone who doesn't feel comfortable with the topic

Lisa has a great personality and is a very likeable and knowledgable teacher. As for her tests, try to take the best notes in class to study from, read the text book and read ALL of the req. readings, esp for the final. Her midterms are also very long for the short amount of time, so be fast!

She's an awesome prof. If you invest the time and energy in her class, she will invest in you and help you in whatever way she can. She is funny and makes awkward or embarrassing discussions interesting and understandable. I really like how she lets everyone speak their mind and she is very open to hearing opinions that counter hers. A++++++ prof!

Lisa is very passionate about her field, which makes her lectures super interesting and fun. She is very clear, and always responded to any emails I sent. Always clear on assignment due dates, as well as other class announcements. Would take another class with her for sure.

The best prof I have had at macewan. She inspired me to take anthropology as my major. she has the best way of explaining things and i would take her classes any day of the week. love her!!! the exams are not too bad and readings are usually for a university level course. suck it up!

Unless a wizard friend gives you notes, attendance is mandatory. Show, keep up w readingsvids & tests will be very straightforward. No curveballs; teaches what she tests. Advice: in-class examples your best friend on short answer responses. Textbook is horrid & Lisa agrees, so other readingsvids are refreshing & totally interesting. Funny prof!

Dr. Mutch is awesome! Is very clear about what she expects from students. Her tests are fairly difficult, so come prepared. Textbook is mandatory

If you're gonna take this course online be prepared to read. If you're unable to stay on track with readings you won't do well. It's a heavy course and there's a lot of memorization, but Lisa is always willing to help. She's quick with responding to emails and wants students to succeed. Take initiative and you'll be fine in the course.

Although this class was an elective for me, I was interested in the material. Lisa is very passionate. Go to her classes. In 101 she gives check your understandings and if you can answer those questions you'll do fine on the written. I finished with plenty of time on exams. Do the readings because she will ask about them. Overall I enjoyed her!

I came out of that class much more enlightened about the world every time. She is funny. Sometimes she covers heavy stuff. We'd play little games to help us understand things. Lots of the time you will be somewhat confused about assignments. Assignments and tests are a little confusing, but if you study your case studies, you'll pass.

She was one of the best teachers I had. She would give you exactly what was on her tests. The short answer was actually pretty easy and I got higher marks on that then the multiple choice. She is very funny and she made me interested in taking another Anthro class ! You must go to class because she will discuss things that will appear on tests !

I took Anthro as an elective, not caring at all about the subject, and left a better person. Lisa is passionate about her field and she wishes to share that passion with her students. She covered topics most profs wouldn't even touch and she did so to show her students there's always two sides to an issue. She is in my top 3 profs in last 4 years

Lisa is controversial, and that's the worst thing I can say about her. She is the right kind of crazy for anthropology; I feel many students probably declared their major in this field thanks to her. There is a ton of reading to do, but if you're interested in culture and how we interact, it'll be a breeze. Take intro anth with her.

Lisa is passionate, honest, and a simply wonderful human being. She is DEFINITELY in my top 3 of all my profs ever. Lots of reading, so keep up. Be clear and expand lots when writing long answer in tests, it's the best way to bring your mark up. Draw pics too, she doesn't mind. Great to see outside class, so helpful. Lisa is simply too rad!

Lisa is hilarious. She's down to earth and will always say what is on her mind. I loved the way she taught this course. I loved going to class everyday because she not only taught the content well, but made it interesting and entertaining. You can tell anthropology is her passion and I would absolutely recommend Lisa for any anthropology class.

Lisa is very enthusiastic and passionate about her field and he students. She's always available for help. Her tests are long but they have a good variety of MC and short answer. She tells great stories and is very straight forward with what will be tested. My favourite professor since my first year, I will take a class just to have her.

Lisa Mutch was an awesome prof. She loves anthropology and is very knowledgable. Tests are quite long, and lots of long readings. The content is not difficult to understand. Very fair. One of the best profs i have had.

Literally the best prof I've had yet. She was so helpful and awesome to me the whole course. I am totally hoping I'll have her again.

Lisa's lectures are action packed, and very interesting. She used a variety of teaching methods, from readings, videos, assignments, and even games. 101 has a ton of content to cover, and whatever is not covered in class, you won't be graded on. You must do your readings! Even if she doesn't go over them in class, you WILL be tested on them.

She was great. Overall her test were fair and if you read the material assigned, you would do well on her tests. Beware of extra note taking as she adds into her notes (which I find helpful but means you need to attend class or find a notes buddy)

She has very interesting lectures and makes her lectures fun. However her notes on blackboard are very basic in point form. you will get a much higher grade if you attend the class!

Lisa is super passionate about what she teaches and gives really interesting lectures. She gives quite a bit of reading and attending her class is mandatory, but the readings were interesting and her exams were always easier than I expected. I would definitely take another class with her.

Unreal teacher if you're prepared to attend class. Her online quizzes are completely textbook based, so expect to ace them if you read the chapters. Her midterms and finals are completely lecture based - keep an eye out for 'check your understanding questions', highlighted terms, and her in-class examples because these make up your exams!

She's pretty good about updating the class and sending out emails. I never needed to contact her, but I assume shes fairly good at responding to her emails. The course content is fairly straight forward, but the class goes at a fast pace. There's a lot of reading so I would make sure to stay up on it. The final was fairly difficult. Alot of written

Loads of reading, but fair grader, always available for help.

BEST prof. Lectures are anything but dry and teach extra content not from textbook. Is genuinely passionate about sharing her expertise. As long as you show up and read the textbook, you'll get a great mark. Is a fair marker on tests, if you understand the content, she will be okay with your interpretation, answers don't need to be exact.

Lisa is super friendly, whenever I saw her on the bus, or in the hall she would say hi. The classes are really interesting, and therefore I found them easy. Once I walked into class and I forgot it was our midterm, but I did really well on the test because I had learned everything from class.

There is a lot of reading and memorizing that needs to be done, but she clearly tells you what will be on the exam. She is very passionate about Anthropology, so she is very detailed and will answer any questions. The actual exams are only lecture material, so DON'T SKIP CLASS. She makes classes fun though by conversing with her students.

I thought Lisa was an excellent instructor. Her lectures are captivating, she's really passionate about the subject and pretty funny at times. There's quite a bit of reading but she tells you exactly everything that's going to be on the exams so if you just pay attention in class it's pretty easy to do well.

Super passionate about the material. You have to go to her class because for the midterms she tests on what she says in class. The textbook material is covered by online quizzes, but the final includes some text stuff so keep on top of it. Frequently goes off topic.

Midterm and final was basically all lecture material but the final seemed wayyy easier and less in depth than the midterms. She was an overall great prof and loves to teach anthro. she talks A LOT but anything she says is fair game for the exams.

Really great prof. She keeps it really interesting. Her tests are quite tricky and must be detailed. They are based on everything from class, so don't skip! Her optional textbook based quizzes are hard, but they give you a chance to bump your grade up. She is very helpful and you can tell that she wants her students to succeed.

Anthro 101 online with Prof. Mutch is a good but difficult course. Lots of reading and a tough final exam. She does however give good feedback on weekly writing assignments and is there to help when needed. Long final exam, be prepared.

I can honestly say Lisa is the best teacher Ive had in my life. She is so passionate about her work and her students, and makes the course extremely interesting and easy to learn. I was always excited to go to her class. Her exams arent tough but cover a lot of the lecture material, if you're the type who ever skips, borrowing notes wont cut it!

ATTEND CLASS! All of your big tests will be about lecture only and reviewing the powerpoints is basically useless if you didn't attend. Really awesome to listen to though, class never felt like a chore for me. I'm sad she will be on leave for a while!

As long as you show up to class and take notes on her lectures, you'll do amazing on the midterms and final! They're very easy and cover everything on her check you understanding questions so do those and you'll be fine! The textbook was only used for online quizzes... the midterms and final don't cover anything from the textbook specifically.

Attending class is a must since her exams are based on lecture only. She gives you the notes on blackboard but she talks about way more stuff that will be on the exams so ATTEND. You use the textbooks for periodic online quizzes only but the quizzes include long videos/readings too. She's a great lecturer and keeps it fresh and not boring at all.

Great instructor for first years starting new to the college life. She's very entertaining and her material is seldom dry! As long as you are consistent with your textbook readings you will never struggle in this class! Exams fair, no trick questions. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a chill class that isn't too mentally demanding!

Extremely intense- need to read the textbook with a fine tooth comb in order to pass the weekly quizzes, along with other additional readings and videos to watch. However, this is all very clearly outlined in the syllabus and her introduction for the class, what her expectations will be, so believe her. If you follow the study guide, youre ok.

Really enjoyed my class with Prof. Mutch. It was an online class, so you have to keep up with the reading every week. The readings were not difficult, and there is a variety of textbook, papers, stories, and videos which kept things interesting. Very clear grading . I honestly learned so much from this class that I can draw upon in everyday life.

Ok. She is a tough professor. She makes you read a lot and there is a weekly quiz. I could've gotten 4.0, but there was a change of class format because of Covid and I got a 3.7 instead. Her exams are based on the lecture, so please attend. Despite the difficulty, she will prepare you for future classes, which I really liked about her class. GL!

Lisa is amazing. Through online learning (due to Covid-19) she has been ever present with email updates, TONS of content, and frequent availability. She goes above and beyond to create a connection to her class regardless of it being online (which many profs have failed to do). Exams and assignments are a walk in the park if you do your readings!

Mutch is clearly experienced, is constantly updating her students. It's clear she cares and gives lots of second chances if you just ask and explain. This course is very content-heavy, so if you procrastinate, WORK AHEAD AT THE BEGINING OF THE YEAR. Very test heavy, the tests are very specific so do not waste time, read and re-read.

This was a super time-consuming course, lots of reading and extra work. BUT Lisa is probably one of the best prof's I've had. The extra work really helps you understand the material. I've learned so much! Gives detailed feedback on assignments, is available to help 247. Great sense of humour which helps so much with remote learning. SHE'S THE GOAT.

Its a 100 level course which means the workload is heavy because youre introduced all of the basics. It was an enjoyable class and Lisa is always available to help and is a great prof. There is A LOT of reading which is a part of the course and cant be helped by which prof you take, but its super easy if you space you work out appropriately.

(Late posted review for winter 2021 term) Professor Mutch is very direct, which is offputting to some. She's clearly passionate about anthropology, although she comes across as if she's trying to remain neutral, and the workload for the course is pretty heavy. Citation nitpicker, but do your best and you should do well.

Lisa is very specific in her expectations. She is very approachable and highly responsive. ANTH101 was very content-heavy, but the quizzes, discussion posts, assignments, and tests were fairly marked with clear criteria. DO NOT FORGET to use proper documentation and citation!! Great course, great prof, engaging lectures.

she was so supportive id take it again but i just hated the material

I really liked Professor Mutch. There was a lot of content that could get confusing but she is really good at explaining and simplifying concepts. The videos she assigned to watch were really helpful as well. The class is overall straightforward if you do the readings, watch the videos, and attend lectures. It is time-consuming.

I'm surprised to say that this one one of the first times I've really had no problem with an online class. Lisa has laid out the course super clearly and provided lots of very useful worksheets and study games. Just be careful to manage your time well if you're doing this class in the spring, it's a lot of reading.

Lisa has a lot of bad reviews, but I thought she was a great prof. Her lectures are engaging, and she is really helpful when you're struggling. She is tough on citations and grammar errors, but her expectations are clear. You'll need to read/watch any extra materials she posts as well as have the textbook to do well on the weekly quizzes/exams.

This course is ANTH 210 now. This is my second time taking a course with Lisa, and I think she's lovely. Yes, she's strict about citations, but she gives you a chance to fix any mistakes and is very helpful if you come to her with questions regarding citations or the course material. If you study the textbook and do your best, you'll do great.

Took as an elective (Anth 210). Lisa is by far THE BEST professor I have EVER had for an online course, and I am almost 100% finished with my degree. The content is insanely well-organized. I do not understand why all the complaints about citations, it's normal and the same in every course.
