she's very helpful, funny, and easy. In addition, she has an interesting personality that's upbeat. absolutely recommend her!!

Good teacher for the most part. very enthusiastic and eager to help you if you need it. Only problem: she tends to overtalk things and then tands to get behind schedule. You never leave early

Fun class, interesting.

This class is boring. She's never on task and gets off the subject most of the time. She's mostly confusing...or her teaching method is confusing. You're basically on your own in this class.

As long as you read the text you will do fine. Very nice teacher.

easy, fun, and interesting

Very energetic, enthusiastic and helpful. Otherwise, she has organizational problems you will NEVER leave early due to that fact that she's always running behind. I liked her a lot anyway however.

So she was a bit unorganized, ran late sometimes, & was unclear on the final assignment, but her knowledge of culture impressed me and taught me a lot. She's very friendly & sweet but she's also got spunk & a hint of sarcasm. Her class is hard to fail unless you don't belong in college anyway.

Essay Exams, 2 midterms and a final. Allowed to drop lowest midterm grade. She makes this subject kind of boring and confusing. Not bad teacher, but if I had to take it again I would probably go with another teacher.

Excellent teacher. Sometimes will interrupt you if you talk too long - which can be a good thing. Very easy class. I don't understand why some people have to take it more than once. They must not come to class.

She get into her class. She's passionate about what she teaches. Her only downside is that she can get off topic easily.

Interesting class. Interesting teacher. You can use a cheat card on the essay exams. Not hard to get an A or B.

She's a good teacher, just very unorganized. If you want a grade back on a quiz you'll have to ask for it. She'll try to help you if you need help. She wants you to understand what she's teaching.

If u get a chance to take Cultural Anthro. with Prof. Williams, do it. Its a great class.

Very nice teacher, wants to help you, very possible to pass the class by just 'treing'.

I had her for Sociology 33 the same semester...She made the class not only interesting but exciting as well. Though, she was a bit unorganized and tended to wonder off subject from time to time. She is my favorite Prof. over all

Ha! I took her class about, oh 7 years ago and she was awesome. Hard though, kind of. Very fast paced and organized. I heard she had a baby. Maybe that explains the disorganization I've been reading. Poor woman, don't be so hard on her, she's a great teacher!

she is great! very nice woman. she wants to help students and want them to do well in the class. love her =)

I thought she was cute and very sweet. A little hard to follow, but I learned a lot.

Ms. Williams is a good teacher. You have to read the book and pay attention to the films and lecture. She gives you pieces of the pie in all three and asks about something from all on her exams. Her quizzes are easy.

Ms Wiliams is easier than the other teachers i have had at delta.She makes it very easy for people to get an A.There are two tests and a final. You can take one of the two tests if you want. Meaning you can miss the first test but u HAVE to do the second. Or the other way around. She gives you the ACTUAL questions on the exams & 4x6 card is allowed

Good teacher. Be sure to read!

Nice teacher..really willing to teach and help you with what ever concerns,questions, or anything you have for her.

Ms Williams is a great teacher. Her lectures are pretty boring though. I suggest people buy a recorder and record her lectures b/c SHE WILL GIVE OUT ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS FROM HER EXAMS/FINAL. There will be 2 exams. The highest will be the one counted plus there's a final. one 4x6 card is allowed. Take this class if you can. She knows her stuff.

Incredibly helpful. If she sees you're not getting it, she'll explain it until you do. Lecture is kind of boring so you have to be attentive. Funny at times. Somewhat expects college level work/maturity in class. Lots of reading. Gives out answers before the exams(2 exams & the final). One 10-12 pg paper. Procrastination/laziness NOT recommended.

Very nice/helpful teacher. Her lectures make people fall asleep though. Other than that her class is pretty easy. You'd have to try hard to fail her class. She's an easy grader. There's 2exams and the final. one 4x6 card is allowed. Don't be confused, when she talks about her family, she uses them as examples from the lectures to give you an idea.

She takes a subject that could possible be rather dry and makes it accesible. If you have an open mind and are willing not to judge her on certain perceived faults then you will get a lot out of her class.

Fun and entertaining teacher. At first I wanted to drop the class because she seemed so unorganized but after a few weeks I really enjoyed attending. Sometimes strays off topic, but it is usually while explaining something from lecture. Very kind, very helpful, and she REALLY knows her stuff.

she knows her stuff. If you have any issues or problems she's good at helping resolve the problem.

all you have to do is read the book and show that you know at least half of what she lect about.

She is a great teacher. I personally think that the people that complain about her class are lazy. She explains over and over again what she requires on her tests and people still miss it. She goes over the material like a university professor. I was in IB and believe me I know what hard work and gruelling studying is.

Very helpful in every way, very talkative but it relates to the class and the matter at hand.Very funny and good looking I would advise people to take her if your serious about school and not just slacking off to get an easy A.

This class had it's ups and downs. There's a group project. She lets you have an index card on the tests (which are mostly essays) She does get off topic but she is clear about what needs to be studied on the tests. She is really understanding and helpful, she lets you make up assignments and accepts late work.

she made getting up for school a lot easier. it was a good class.

She is a bit scattered but if you do all reading as scheduled before class you will understand. Exams are essay style. This is definitely taught as a college level class but if you prepare for class an A should be easy.

Williams really know her stuff. My biggest gripe about the class is that students are expected to "prove" to her they learned the concept of anthropology by using ONLY her given examples on the midterm essay, instead of reflecting on our own culture. Be prepared to drop your learning style in favor of her's. Seriously.

Very sweet lady. She knows her stuff and is extremely helpful. Cultural Anthropology was my toughest course this semester, but it was challenging and different. If you don't plan to transfer to UC school, don't take her. I would recommend her to anyone who is up for a challenge.

Great teacher who cares about her students. Loves teaching and is always smiling! her tests/essays are really easy overall very fun class that I recommend!

I took 2 courses from her 5 years ago and have since graduated from a four year university and I still remember this professor the most. She is easily my top 5 favorite professors. The reading material is also still vivid and has come up in other courses I have taken. She is awesome.

Mrs. Williams made anthropology pretty interesting to learn about. However, she expects her students to not slack off and prepare themselves for a "real" college environment. Thus, for each midterm and the research paper; she STRESSES outlining, grammer, etc. and marks you down if its format isn't up to her standards. And she is a hard grader.

I found this professor to be very cute, she rambles on and on then laughs at her own jokes lol. and you can tell that she was totally hot in her younger years, but yeah if she was younger id totally date.

I took her class more than fifteen years ago. I moved onto UC Davis and to Ph.D. program in history. Even after all those years, the things I learned from her continue to be very useful and helpful in my research and writing. I hope she reads this site, and if she does, "Thank YOU, Marcie."

she is a very nice lady loves to smile over all i pass her class with a "b" she will give two mid-terms if you pass one then u don't have to take the next one. Her class is not that hard if you do your work and read the chapters plus book than u will definitely pass her class( there is alot of reading in this class) you will learn alot from her

Marcy Williams teaches a very heavy course on purpose. Her goal is to prepare students for success at the university level. I dropped the first time, but returned after I took as many writing classes as possible. I became an English 1D teacher's assistant, and eventually William's tutor for Anthro and Sociology. You really have to bring it!

Marcy was kind of an unorganized teacher but knows her material well. Lectures were pretty boring. Attendance doesn't seem to be important but she always has group project days and some pop quizzes, so try not to miss too much. The quizzes/tests are pretty easy as long as you read all the required reading.

As long as you do your reading, you'll be fine. People who complain that she isn't easy are the ones who usually don't read. As long as you attend lecture and read the books, you'll be fine. It was one of the most enjoyable classes that I've taken at Delta.

You guys are boo boo. I transferred to Berkeley from delta as a soc major. I learned more from her anthro class than any of my soc classes. 4 year universities require conceptual thinking and application of theory. Her essay questions are exactly what you will be expected to do when you transfer. It's not that difficult if you read and think :)

She is an amazing teacher. I don't know why the students below would think otherwise. The real colleges could be tough, but she equipped us with the armor to protect ourselves when the hardships of those colleges are against us. She is full of information and I wouldn't mind taking her class again.

Class is mandatory; quizzes all time plus extra credit points. She gives you a list of essay questions for the tests - just pick the hardest one and you're good. Watch a documentary or two and pull in that vocab into your essays. Shes fun, easy going, and helpful. I read maybe 3 chapters total and guess the rest of the time. Passed with a high B.

I transferred to the University of the Pacific from Delta, and if it wasn't for the things I learned in Cultural Anthropology I would have been sol. Professor Williams is an awesome awesome instructor for those who are planning for life after Delta. One of the BEST instructors ever!!! She knows her stuff, and so will you if you pay attention.

She is a really great teacher and is very easy and i always willing to help. Very Hardworking and expects you to be as well just like any real and good teacher would be. I like when she talks about her past and family because she can relate to every student. BEST TEACHER EVER!!! AMAZING TEACHER!!!!!

Williams is a great and knows what she's taking about. She lectures daily and gives lots of examples to use on the midterm and final papers. She also gives lots of extra credit points in class so it's important to attend. The only drawback is that she is scatterbrained and always jumps from topic to topic. Overall, it's a fairly easy A+.

Professor Williams is an outstanding teacher! Attendance is mandatory as lectures are rich and will thoroughly cover the material and will also help you prepare for both multiple choice and written midterms. Class is fun and challenging, she is very helpful and grades fairly don't expect to breeze by the final paper is difficult.

Interesting readings, not a lot of work in this class, concepts are easy to understand, offers lots of little extra credit opportunities if you show up to lectures, very lib professor, would take again

Okay. Ms. Williams is one of the best teachers I have had. Her class is difficult but her expectations are clear and she is very reasonable all around. If she sees that you are trying (she has a good BS meter so don't try to fool her) you will pass. She has the heart of a teacher and cares. Very credible in what she is talking about.

Professor Williams knows her stuff when it comes to lectures. However, she is sort of scatter brained and will jump to other topics or talk too fast. Quizzes are mostly online. Tests are partly online, with an essay or two in class. She's a hard grader when it comes to essays. If you do all the work and try your best, you may be able to get an A.

Readingtaking notes on the booksarticles is a must. The final and midterm are written essays (option of 2 prompts) and online multiple choicefill in. She has high expectations, and keeping track of the homework is difficult. I find her lectures very interesting, but she sometimes gets off topic with her personal life. It's a HARD class.

Pros: Nice and helpful professor, enjoyable lectures, clear assignments, fairly easy B. Cons: A lot of reading, midterm and final are in-class essays that make up the majority of your grade, a lot of information to take in, you have to work for an A. GO TO CLASS, do all your homework AND extra credit and you will do fine.

I LOVE Marcy. She talks a lot and is a little unorganized, but she gives credit for trying and aims to prepare students for transfer to 4-years. Don't bother taking the class if you can't even skim through a book and take notes. YOU CAN USE THE NOTES ON TESTS, so just do it. If you're a feminist, you'll love her.

Professor Williams is an exceptional professor. Attendance is essential as her lectures are rich in material and she thoroughly goes over everything you should know for exams. Selected readings are great, sometimes tough to read but enjoyable. She may be a bit disorganized but has a charming personality, prepares her students for UC, and CSU system

Second course with Professor Williams, ANTHR6 was a tough course, but don't let that discourage you. This class was by far the hardest course I have had in anthropology, her grading structure is similar to UC level, so that means the final is a huge part of your grade. Lectures are fun, engaging and thoughtful. Not many points. She is great teacher

Marcy was by far my favorite professor at Delta. She's tough, but she actually cares about her students and she makes the subject very interesting and educational. Definitely recommend for people who are interested in really learning!

Everything you will do is in the syllabus right away and it's your job to keep up. The midterm and final are a lot of work and you NEED to prep for them. You have to gather all the information from the two books you read consecutively and all the notes from lectures you take. You will need to take lecture notes everyday.

Pro. Williams is a great instructor of anthro, she really delves deep into the field. She expects reading. critical thinking, and taking the time to go beyond what's asked and connect the main points. Understandable, if your gonna PUT IN THE TIME, but if your not willing to then drop. Huge plus, she treats you as UC level student.

Professor Williams was a good teacher. She gave lectures and helped us write our essays. We did have a few essays based on lectures and readings we did. Get ready to read and take notes that is something I did not do much which is why I probably did not get an A in our pop quizzes. She wants her students to succeed in college and a university.

There is a lot of work and reading that needs to be put into this class. Don't expect to just know all the answers on a test without going back and rereading the material. I do like her as a person, but I feel like she's all over the place when she lectures. Expect REVEL assignments, 2 textbooks, 1 research paper, 2 exams online, and quizzes .

Professor Williams is an extremely knowledgeable professor for both Cultural Anthro. & Sociology. She is very helpful outside of class for any students that reach out to her for help. Definitely one of the most interesting and exciting classes I have taken at SJDC.

You need to buy the book and the novel she assigns b/c the online code and weekly reading. She assigns daily journals but when the class didnt read the novels she did daily quizing. 1 essay paper that one of the prompts doesnt even require research. 3 multiple choice test with an essay question. Multiple choice is online the q's on bookareontheweb

Williams helps you if you ask for it, especially during office hours which I suggest you do like I did. I also asked if I could record her lectures after the first exam because I learned YOU HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION IN LECTURE. She is a bit all over the place but I liked listening to most of her personal exp. Allows one page of notes on exams & final.

Extremely nice person. Lectures get very confusing sometimes; she jumps from the topic to her personal life a lot. Average homework, average exams cause she gives you detailed study guides. Class had lots of activities to keep interesting, but some days she talks the entire time and it feels like a chore to get through. Overall, I would recommend.

Great teacher but she is definitely all over the place.. her expectations are very high.. I wouldnt Take her class again but I did Enjoy her as a individual..

Professor Williams is a great teacher. really gets you thinking i know this is a class im really glad i took. her exams are rough, in the best way prepares you for any other exams you will take in college her exams really taught me how to study. it is scary and stressful but give your best shes really understanding if you talk helped me alot

This professor truly cares about her students, and their future. Her lectures are captivating, and very interesting. She is very intelligent, and knowledgeable. Her grading is very easy regarding homework, and essays. She is NOT picky when she reviews your essays. Not a lot of homework, and group activities are fun. Easy "A".

Read and do essay assignments. Youll do fine. Also some quizzes online.

I thoroughly enjoyed Williams. One thing that I learned was that lecture is really crucial in her class. Her tests are not too bad, as long as you have read the material. Id say the only struggle was keeping up with all the reading.

Show up to class and do work.
