Probably one of the best teachers at Miami Dade. The characteristic that sets her above the rest is the passion she has for the field of study which is evoked through her lecture examples that appeal to students with a hunger for anthro. She also has an active interest in helping you succeed but you have to be serious about school first!!

Interesting class. Amazing professor. She is a great person. Quizes are easy if you pay attention to the lectures. Take home tests. Better take notes because answers are not online. Big paper at the end, but its easy to do if you read the book. Not a hard class at all. I loved it and i loved the topics. Have fun! :)

Theres a lot of quizzes that pretty much determine your whole grade, the final proctored exam only covers the last 2 chapters of the last module and counts as much as a regular module test would. As long as you pass all your module exams, you shouldn't worry about the proctored exam. Also no written assignments! Took this class for a 6 week term.
