Class is not as easy as people say. 4 tests including the final, that is it. Gives one chance for extra credit. Helpful during office hours! If you attend class regularly, take notes, and study you will probably make a B. Not an easy A like some people said because only 4 grades. Class is actually kind of fun. I'd recommend this class.

Took the evening class for Physical Anthropology. Teacher was fine, class was extremely mundane and boring. 3 hours of power point slides is gruesome even if it's once a week. Tests are not multiple choice, 4 tests=the whole grade. Don't buy the book, didn't use it once. Overall, the course was just not interesting. Oh and doesn't transfer to TAMU.

Exam 1 is straightforward/easiest of the 4 exams in the course. Best advice is to study HARD for the next 2 exams because they are more specific. Always come prepared to do the extra credit questions on the exams too because those can boost your test grade from a C to a B or a B to an A! Do the extra credit to guarantee yourself an A in the class!

I truly love Prof Raisor to death but her class style just didn't suite me. 3 exams and the final and thats it. Sounds great but one failed test and you're done. No textbook needed, just buy her purple packet from copy stop. Theres no test reviews but she tells you what will be on the test during lectures. Plenty of extra credit.

Her lectures will probably be the most interesting part of your day, and you leave class retaining a LOT of info. She speaks her mind but she's also really nice and begins her classes with daily "factoids" that may or may not be anthropology-related. You need to show up to pass, but her lectures are something you won't want to miss anyways.

Professor Raisors class is really easy as long as you take notes during the lectures. The reason I would not take this class again is because she brings up politics every single class and gives a skewed reality to what is actually happening in America. If this only happened every now and then it would be bearable but it is every single class.

This was my very first class at Blinn! Best professor ever. I took this as a Maymester, and it was still very easy. She actually wrote me a letter of recommendation for Texas A&M. Listen to her lectures, be open minded, take notes and you'll pass.

To pass this class, get the purple textbook with all the lectures, take notes, pay attention to every detail she points out, and make sure to do well on her tests since there are no other assignments. interesting lectures, but brings politics into every single one of them. gives a lot of extra credits. she takes attendance very seriously.

I had so much fun in this class just listening to the lectures. She is very experienced and has lots of good stories. She is very easy to talk to, and she loves participation from students. She would go into a lot of detail in the lectures, and I feel like I learned so much.

By FAR the absolute best professor I have ever had. I learned so much from her and she made it fun and super interesting. I wish I could have her for every course. She is very personable and wants to help you. The course is based on all your test grades but offers endless extra credit that is fairly easy. TAKE her !! your GPA will thank you!!

If you want an easy A, you should take her class. If you are interested in anthropology, you should not. Her lectures often include historical inaccuracies and information that is missing its proper context. In one unit, she just spouted her own political opinions that aren't based on science or reality and have nothing to do with anthropology

She provides no material whatsoever in eCampus, so if you miss a lecture or a note, too bad because she wont post the slides or any learning material. She wont post grades either so you dont know even know how you did in the class until the semester ends. Very hard to get in touch with by email as well, she rarely answered. Would not recommend.

Dr. Raisor is a really sweet teacher who I enjoyed going to class. Her lectures are interesting but she does bring politics into them. I rate her low because she did not post anything on ecampus making it extremely difficult to review material for tests. The only grades were TESTS. If we can't review then how are we expected to pass the class?

Take this class if you want an easy A, but if you want to learn, pick another proffessor. On the first day of class, she immediately brought up politics and related every class disscusion back to that. If you love arguing about politics every day instead of anthropology, take her class. Also, she berated students that had tattoos?? And their moms

By far one of the best professors I've had; with the extra credit, you should do fine in a test-heavy class. I had a B and was bumped to an A because of my extra credit and participation/engagement with the class. I do not recommend missing any classes or not taking notes. Overall, 10/10, it was a class I looked forward to.

Mrs. Raisor is all you want in a teacher! She is very funny and makes class very enjoyable, we start off class with news that happened over the week or during the weekend and talk about that for the first part of the class, we then start lectures and have a good time, I would definitely take her again and I would recommend you do too.

She literally has never posted one single thing in E-campus therefore you will have no idea how good or bad you are doing in the class until the last day of the semester. There are only 4 assignments the ENTIRE semester. 3 of them are unit exams and one final exam. Do not take her class if you get easily offended or you arent a good test taker.

My favorite class, I genuinely look forward to going. Lectures are interesting and she is very knowledgeable. There is nothing in Ecampus, so don't miss class. Exams are fairly easy, and she will tell you what parts of notes will be on exam. She engages with students and wants their opinions on certain topics. Brings up politics but nothing crazy.

She makes it very clear every class how much she loves the orange guy in office. There was no homework or reviews to help you understand the material. There is only tests so if you're not a good test taker definitely don't take her class. I'm like 80% sure she would show up to class not sober. The girl I sat next to agreed, so it's not just me.

Dr. Raisor made the class really enjoyable with her funny stories and casual teaching style. While she sometimes brought in her own opinions, unstuck AI helped me stay focused on the key concepts. Definitely an easy A, but still a worthwhile class.

She is a great professor! There is a textbook but she said it is not mandatory. She covers everything in her in class lectures. I highly recommend going to class everyday because she may give extra credit for just being in class. I didn't have any homework just the Exams. So BE SURE YOU PAY ATTENTION IN CLASS! Gives many opportunities for extra c!

While she is very political if you can push past that she has great deal of knowledge to pass on. We had only 4 exams and that was all we were graded on, everything in the exam you get from the notes. You MUST show up the lectures aren't available online!! Talked politics for the first 20 mins of every class so don't worry about being late lol.

After going to two state schools for Anthro before Blinn, I don't think I've ever had a more culturally dehumanizing professor of anthropology in my life. Despite my rating, I recommend this class so you have the best example of ethnocentrism in academics. Incredibly easy course, but every lecture has been like a fork on a plate. huge fan of trump!
