Biological anthropology is an interesting course but Sabine makes you do a huge amount of work, which is fine, but marks like an Englisg Prof which can bring your great marks down, so I suggest anyone taking her in the future, always get her to proofread any paper you are haning in for her, as that will gaurantee success otherwise your screwed.

Avoid this class if you are an upper level Engl student. While the content is interesting, the class is dry and she reads off powerpoint slides.

Most higher year students have great admiration for her as she really knows her stuff. She is an incredibly HARSH grader and she will not pull-punches. She is more than willing to discuss progress with students and she is very understanding when it comes to a student's external struggles. Beware the Genocide Group Presentation- start prep early!

I had Sabine for many classes and she is one of toughest profs I've ever had. She is flexible when you see her for offices hours. My advice is study, ask questions, and try hard.

I found she made students feel too intimidated to approach her and ask questions. The lab exam is a bell ringer exam but she prepares you well for it. She demands her rules are followed even if it comes across rude. No phones, food or drinks during lab classes.

She gives you such a detailed outline for essays you just need to follow it. Beware of informal English and citations in essays. Do the work and participate. She gives extra credit on tests, and is a really nice grader. Some things get points taken off and others aren't a big deal, but to take it as a learning experience.

She talks down to students and feels she is superior. She contradicted herself in my paper telling me I need a para number for my citation so next paper I did and she told me that I was wrong for para numbers in citing. She also expects people to use the library for sources for everything but that's kind of tough to do right now considering COVID!

Lots of homework

Sabine is a solid prof. I do like it but it is really tough. Her lectures are divided into PDF and many audios, and they are mostly heavy loaded. Lots of reading are required for preping her writing assignments. She allows a head-up lecture, which means she will open the future lectures for you if you want (unless it is right be4 exam week).

I took this class online. Sabine is really nice, explains every little detail. Theres quiz's every week and lab exercises which I enjoyed doing. It was first year class so we didnt had to memorize all the bones, only the major ones which she would highlight in her slides.

She knows what she's doing, very knowledgeable and respectable. She can be pretty blunt at times but that is just how she is. If you have social anxiety she might not be the best professor for you. If you can handle it you will learn a lot from her. We also get to handle real human bones which is a huge bonus to help learn the bones better.

Material for this class requires certain dedication outside of class if you expect to have a decent grade. Professor Stratton helps by offering multiple resources to study with and provides guides on what to review which is highly encouraged to complete before exams. Emails sent asking for clarification are replied to within a day if not two.

She only lectures thrice, the rest are presentations via professionals (coroner, RCMP) & those are really interesting. Her 3 lectures are drawn out (takes 3 hours when it could take 30 mins). 10 min presentation (20%), essay 1 (15%), essay 2 (10%), 2 exams (20% each mult, short Ans, long Ans), participation (5%), journal comments (10%).

The material can be challenging, but Professor Stratton provides helpful resources. Attendance is mandatory, and the grading can be strict. For study prep, unstuck ai and the textbook are useful alongside the professor's guides.
