I had this prof. for 'racial and cultural minorities' and loved it. she really knows what she's talking about and is so intelligent. i would recommend her to anyone interested in anthropology. if you show up for class and study you'll do fine.

She is smart, considerate and sincere professor who creates course materials for students' sake! She is the best professor I've learned from before and she has made me major anthropology and changed my life philosophy! Thank you!

Very thorough lectures. She covers the material well and provides any assistance needed. She also offers more than one option for a final assignment. Tests cover lectures; she doesn't emphasize reading material very much, rather as a supplement.

Took this professor first as an undergraduate and then again as a graduate. She was wonderful in terms of knowledge and feedback and is widely published and respected on an international level. I never would have completed my master's without her advising and assistance.

This was a very hard, but great class. I thought Dr. Cerroni-Long was a fantastic teacher. I had no problem understanding her accent, and her enthusiasm is refreshing for teaching these days. I would take her course again.

I would highly recommend Liza to any student. I had her for multiple classes at EMU and actually rearranged my schedule so I could take her class. She has interesting and informative lectures and discussions. She is very approachable after class and is very willing to help students reach their goals. She is 1 of the best anthropologists out there.

Lectures are interesting. She makes makes me actually want to come to class. I don't know anyone else is talking about her accent - I can understand her just fine. Just come to class, do the work and you'll do fine.

Great teacher. I learned a lot from her classes.

I loved the class, it was very interesting! She only asked that you show up and participate and write a term paper. She is very understanding and I would take her again for another class. I didn't find her accent a problem at all and she was actually funny at times and you can tell that she has a passion for teaching and antrhopology.

I love this woman!! She is interesting, helpful, kind and VERY knowledgable! Her intro class was fascinating! Her accent was not at all a problem; like she says, it makes a person pay closer attention. She's fair, if not generous, with grading and just an all around pleasure to have as a prof. WONDERFUL!!! And highly reccomended.

Very dedicated to her students. Willing to help those that want to help themselves....It seems that the previous person did not look at their blue and pink sheets passed out the first day of class and referenced thru the course. Maybe they did not show up to either of the review sections or asked question. Anyhow, she lets you know what is expected

Dr. Cerroni-Long is an amazing professor. She has an accent, but it's not distracting, especially given that she is so amazingly knowledgeable about her subject, and she goes out of her way to help students who demonstrate a strong interest in the class. I would highly recommend her to anyone who actually wants to learn something from this class.

Recommended for ANY major or field of study. This class was supremely interesting and Dr. L made this a class that students wanted to attended.

I LOVE Professor Cerroni-Long! I've had her for two classes (so far) and although her accent is a little difficult to understand sometimes, she is a fantastic teacher! She obviously loves what she does; the passion she has for teaching what she knows is rarely seen in teachers. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! You will learn so much from her!

Nice, funny, and helpful instructor. Barely any powerpoints or overheads and only 2 tests on top of that. No homework or quizzes to help you get your grade up, just 2 tests. She's hard to understand but I sat in the front and that solved most of this problem. If you ask for help she'll be glad to answer your questions.

I had Liza for most of my Anthropology courses at EMU. Her accent was a little bit of a problem at first but I quickly learned to LOVE it. She is VERY helpful if you give a good effort first. If you do the assigned reading before attending lectures, then learning becomes more meaningful. Her use of English grammar is better than native speakers

Cross-listed as SOCL 214. If attend class, don't need books at all. She also makes one book available free.Took 1 1/2 days to go over syllabus i.e. she's thorough. Her accent is fine; she speaks better than many natives. Unlike some profs, I feel her class is equally comfy for those who do or don't like her material. She doesn't 'take sides'.

If you need assignments and projects, I would look elsewhere. For most though, her classes are enjoyable. Two exams and the first one is more of a test run. (Her English is better than 60% of the students at EMU but some have problems with accents.) Specifically, she uses more of a guided discussion. Questions are encouraged. This is true academia.

Class is only offered every few years. She is an expert in her field and really knows her stuff. While her material may not be "Japan in 2010", it does give you a greater understanding for the foundation of Japanese culture. Two tests, first one is kind of a dry run. Also, the smaller class size makes for a really engaging course.

I took 3 classes with Dr. Cerroni-Long, one was an independent study. I found her teaching style much more informative and easy to follow than several of the other anthropology teachers. I really appreciate that she allowed me to follow my own interests for writing project. I think she is a wonderful and supportive teacher.

Liza is an excellent professor who will do whatever she can to help you succeed...as long as you do the work. If you like a professor who is structured, organized, knowledgeable and keen on theory then she's your gal. Oh, and she shows really hip movies to prove her point...

This class was a methodology course for ANTH majors, and it was actually pretty fun and painless. We did a lot of writing, with assignments due every week, but they were manageable. The group project and presentation aren't bad if you already know other majors. She wants you to learn to think critically and write well.

In my opinion, Dr. L is probably one of the finest instructors at this institution. Extremely knowledgeable, an enthusiastic and relatable instructor, and an absolute joy to study under. Make sure not to miss classes and take the time to interact with her outside of class, you'll have a fine time in any of her courses.

I loved Cerroni-Long's class she told many interesting stories and I learned a lot of great course material from her.

Ceroni-long is very humous and incoperates this into her lectures. She has two major test a midterm and a final exam. They are not easy so take good notes, however she drops the lowest score and also gives xtra credit. One key is to get to know her ask questions after class. She does not take atendence, but if you miss you will. E lost. Awsome

Most amazing professor I've ever had. She really cares about what she teaches and is so enthusiastic in her lectures. Very knowledgable. I highly recommend this class and this professor!

She has an accent but its still easy to understand. Honestly you dont really need to attend the class just for the review days , are only 2 test. Sometimes the lectures were boring i missed alot of class but i still passed with an A

She is sort of disconnected from her students being that she has class monitors if you missed class, and she doesn't display her email on her syllabus. BUT, come to class, take her two tests, participate, and I guarantee you, you will pass. I am 100% SURE. Her syllabus is very specific as well. Very nice woman too.

She brings a different perspective. Very interesting.

I loved both ANTH and Dr. L, but it wouldn't work for everyone. She loves her subject and presents it in depth, though without interest in the material I imagine it could be a slog. Her approach to grading (no feedback or grades until the final) could be stressful, but do your best and you'll be fine. And participate, in class or written notecards!

The reason this course is hard is due to the fact that you don't actually get any grades till after the semester is finished. I disagree with this but it can work out in the student's favor. I struggled in the course but I reached out to her and she helped me catch up. Just keep up with work or if you can't ask her for help.

This class was unlike any other I have taken. The directions can be difficult to understand so make sure to read them many times and do everything exactly as they say. The Professor does not give any grades until after the class is done. It is not an easy A.

I honestly looked through the student comments on here. I don't think there anything wrong with her class. It may seem different but that's what makes her class unique. I enjoy how everything is self-paced; deadline for keypoints and reflections are strict. Her instructions are clear + as long as you have similar points as hers. Overall, not bad!!

Laid back class w/o strict deadlines. Don't need to worry about exams or quizzes there is just an assignment every week. Instructions were fairly clear.
