She is extremely helpful! She wants her lecture to be fun while providing students with great info. If a student need help, she is willing to help you before or even after class. She doesn't have her own office since she is part time. Her lecture is never boring and she tells you exactly what will be on the test. She is really pretty.
She is extremely friendly! She makes lecture fun and wants the class to participate in it, she recommends students talk to each other. Her tests are right off the study guide, she doesn't give any homework. She offers four extra credits, each worth up to 5% on the tests. I really recommend you take her class!
Ms. Etheridge is fair and really enjoys what she talks about. She is straight from the Powerpoint lecture and videos in class so if you show up you should do fine. I recommend her.
Miss E. Is so clear, and her lectures are never boring. She got me really interested in the subject. She really knows her stuff...especially about primates. Take her class!
Ms. E is the best teacher I've EVER had. I didn't know or care a whole lot about Anthro before I stepped into her class. I assumed she'd force anti-religion in the form of evolution in our face. Not true. I've fallen in love with primates after this class. Tests straight from study guide, she gives lots of extra credit. TAKE HER YOU WONT BE SORRY
she is fantastic, uses a lot of visuals and power point. She answers any and all questions you have.
Ms. Ethridge has such a passion for this subject, it's hard not to follow what she has to say! She does not require a book, and all of her tests are based off her powerpoints, which she puts on Blackboard. She never takes attendance, and follows her sylabus to a T. She's great!
Sarah Etheridge is amazing. She has inspired me in so many ways. She is passionate about the subject and teaches it in a way that is easy to understand and retain. She is full of information and is ALWAYS helpful and understanding of her students' lives. She was able to make me enjoy learning about the subject and made the semester so enjoyable! A+

Loved this professor. Very friendly, passionate about the subject, and easy to talk to. Highly recommended!
I've taken Anthro. 101, 101L, and 103 with Sarah. She's really one of the best instructors at COC. Explains everything very well. Teaches with power points, but makes her lectures memorable. Tests are manageable, so are homework assignments, and group work assignments. You can really tell she genuinely enjoys anthropology. Awesome instructor!
Very easy stuff! She makes her powerpoints available on black board and is extremely helpful. Two exams and they are cake! Come to class, do the hw and group work and you will definitely pass no problem.
She's a great instructor. Engaging and passionate about Anthropology. EASY to understand. Do your homework, review notes, easy test, and good knowledge. Strongly recommend her!
She's a great teacher, very interesting and passionate about her work. Loved her class I learned alot
Good teacher, pretty easy class. I mostly just showed up because she was freakin HOT!
THE BEST!!! She is so sweet and kind and really helps you on anything. Her passion for anthropology really shows in her teaching and makes an effort to make sure everyone understands what she's teaching. She WILL know your name in a matter of says. One of the best at COC you won't regret taking her class!
I had no interest in any science prior to this class, but Sarah Etheridge made it enjoyable. Her instruction methods make all the concepts easy to understand. Sarah is very passionate about what she does and strives for student comprehension. The work assigned relates directly to the test. She's fair, understanding, and very pretty lol. Best @ COC!
There is no reason not to take Sarah for anthropology! She is the most passionate teacher I have ever taken. I've take both 101 and 103 from her and they both were really intriguing. Her teaching style is PowerPoint and she is a fairly easy grader. If you show up and do the homework, you should get an A.
Professor Etheridge is amazing! Probably the only reason I liked ccc. She is very helpful and super easy! Must attend her class every single day! You do not want to miss a class! No text book but a lot of notes! Super easy and fun! She is super passionate about this and made me go Vegan Friendly . Love her!
Very nice and class was so easy. A lot to memorize but the subject was interesting it was hard not to learn! Highly recommend to anyone, even if you don't like science
I recommend taking her anthropology class, she is great! She is a strong advocate of primates and is very interesting to listen to her when she tells of living and studying them while in Africa. I learned a lot from her especially NOT to buy a greeting card with a smiling chimp on it!
By far the sweetest most helpful teacher ever! I thought I would find Anthropology a tough subject, but she made everything so understandable!! Please do take her! You will not regret it one bit!!
By far the sweetest most helpful teacher ever! I thought I would find Anthropology a tough subject, but she made everything so understandable!! Please do take her! You will not regret it one bit!! She also posts all the notes on blackboard which is super helpful!!!!
The class is easy and she is really nice. It also helps that she is beautiful so it's easy to pay attention to her lectures (for guys at least). Her midterm and final are easy and I recommend taking her class over any other Anthro professor at COC.
AMAZING! She is very compassionate & sweet. I loved her class, it was very fun and educational. I learned so much in there & I don't know if I will for get it. She really wants everyone to succeed & she gives you every opportunity to do so. She does not require a bunch of work & she gives you time in class to do some of it. Overall the best choice.
I was a lil nervous for my first college class but she made it easy. I never had any interest in anthropology before but her passion for it made it fascinating. Im only going to take anthro103 if its with her. Oh and she is gorgeous
You have to take this class!!!!!!!!! Sarah is extremely helpful, highly intelligent, and very kind. You will not regret taking this class. Everything that we covered was very interesting and her passion made each chapter exciting and fun. Just take it, ya doofus!
Took her Short Term Anthro 101 Lecture for 8 weeks and then 8 weeks of lab.. It was twice a week 3 hours very long but well worth it in the end. She is a great professor who really cares about anthro.. Do you the work and study for her test and you will pass no problem... Got an A in both of her classes... Great Professor!! Take her
She is by far one of the best teachers ive ever had! Took her at mission this Fall for Anthropology 104 because I needed units, and now i'm going to take her for next spring as well. Her lectures were very inspiring. I learned a lot!
Such a great teacher! She truly loves what she teaches and that makes you want to learn more!
Dr. E is Awsome! Passion for teaching.
Makes classes interesting and engaging with interesting articles and popular videos from Youtube, such as clips from "Last Week Tonight With John Oliver" and Vice magazine. The midterm and final are a bit tough, but if you study and pay attention, they're a breeze. I would take her class again in a heartbeat.
I love Dr. E! I took her short term anthro 101 and lab. She's truly the greatest. She helps you and answers all your questions. There's always extra credit given. Compelete all your assignments and pay attention .Guaranteed A One of the sweetest professors that ginuenly cares about her students and loves what she does. She makes anthro interesting
She was so sweet, Just do all your work and you will pass. If you have any questions don't be afraid to ask that way you get all the right answers on homework and get full credit. Also allows test corrections and extra credit. she is so passionate which makes learning fun.
She is absolutely my favorite professor I have ever had. She is a newer teacher but is still extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and passionate. She gives a ton of extra credit, rarely assigns homework, has many group projects, and only gives 2 tests in the whole semester. I would absolutely take her class again just for fun I loved her!
gives good feedback. easy A. but what a airhead. doesn't feel like a real professor.
A group project, a midterm, final, hw, and lots of extra credit opportunities. Amazing professor! Keeps us active and engaged during lectures, they were never boring. She is very sweet and really cares about her students. Always prepared and very organized. Just the best! Take her!
She was awesome. I took this class over the short term summer session and she did require thorough answers so it was hard to get a 20/20 on each assignment but she was always understanding and gave great feedback. Her lectures were also great because she had audio on them. Easy A if you do all of the assignments just don't leave any details out!
Took her Anthro class online over summer. It was easy but it was a lot of work, posting assignments and discussions every day. When needed help, because Canvas was acting out, she made me feel like I was bothering her. I know Canvas was not her fault, but she could have been nicer.
Dr. Etheridge is by far the best professor I have ever taken at COC. She offers a ton of extra credit and the Midterm & Final are heavily based off of lecture so coming to class is mandatory! I recommend anyone to take her class.
Sarah is so sweet and inspiring! You can really tell how passionate she is about anthropology and makes the course extremely interesting and straight forward. There's honestly nothing bad to say about this teacher, definitely recommend!
There's a lot to say about her. She does make you work for a grade but it's actually pretty fun and interesting. She's approachable and she cares a lot about the subject, the club, and her students. I was a bit skeptical about the class but even though I have different beliefs, she made it fun and interesting. She's also really funny.
I took the short term online class. The work load wasn't ridiculous, pretty much an assignment every other day. She really cares about the subject and the student. The assignments are designed to make you think. She also offers a lot of extra credit.
She is a really good teacher that is passionate about what she teaches, which makes it more interesting for you to follow along. She gives out a lot of extra credit and is very easy going with late work. You have one essay and its super easy. The class overall is interesting and easy.
Dr.E is one of the best professors I've taken !Her lectures are intriguing and easy to follow since she's organized and posts her lectures on a Powerpoint. I love how passionate, caring she is in her lectures which makes her class that much more so interesting. Her class is fairly easy to pass, as long as you do the work n try! Take her !!
Honestly one of the best professors I've ever taken. She really cares about what she teaches and made me interested in anthropology. Her lectures are fun and easy to follow along. The videos she shows are very interesting and will open your mind to so many new things. Put in effort and do the work and you'll be fine.I'll take any class she teaches
I absolutely love love LOVE this professor. She made learning fun and interesting! She opened up my eyes to the world of anthropology and I really enjoyed learning from her. Take her ! She's amazing! & she's really laid back, gives clear instructions, answers questions, and helps you understand the material, & really pretty too ! lol
I took her in the Fall and again for Spring. I just love the way she lectures and teaches the material! Magic, Witch Craft & Religion is so cool, she kept me intrigued all throughout the semester. She's really wonderful guys. One of the best professors I have taken at COC. She's great at what she does, someone give her a raise !!!
She was awesome!! I took her Magic, Religion, and Witchcraft class and it was great. Shes so enthusiastic about what she teaches and keeps you interested. She gives a TON of extra credit so theres no reason you shouldnt get an A. Great class!
By far, best teacher I have taken at COC. Very passionate about what she teaches. Keeps lectures extremely interesting and fun. She gives tons of extra credit which is awesome because that is what helped me with my grade. Overall easy A. Will be taking her again for lab. Great class!!!
The best professor in COC hands down! Super sweet, funny, young lady that is passionate about what she teaches. She cares about the students and their graders and gives lots of extra credit which I don't even think you'll need because her class is easy! Just take this professor and you won't regret a thing :)
Did so much extra credit, I was able to opt-out of the final. So few of us were able to. I guess students can be lazy and would rather take a final than do easy extra credit throughout semester? Anyone who doesn't receive an A, doesn't care about their grades. In addition, her lectures are interesting and she is very passionate.
Her class is amazing, but she will make you work for your grade if you want an A in this class. She offers a ton of extra credit and she is a very inspiring professor! I would recommended her to anyone! LIKE HANDS DOWN SHE IS THE BEST ANTHROPOLOGY PROFESSOR AT COLLEGE OF THE CANYONS!
I took etheridge for both lecture and lab she's my favorite professor at COC. She seriously made me consider switching my major to anthropology because how interesting she made the class. If you don't need to take anthropology I would recommend you still take her she makes class so enjoyable plus she has great tast in music. (Kendrick Lamar fan.)
I took her class online and all I can say is TAKE HER IF YOU CAN!! Even online, you can tell she is extremely passionate and caring about her material as well as her students!! I took the 8 week short-term class, and although it was A LOT of work, it was worth it! Answer each thoroughly and w evidence and it is an easy A!!! TAKE HERRRRR ESKETITTTTT
Hard teacher. She goes way to fast for me and assigns too much work, making it hard for me to find time to read her OERs and study for tests. If you are someone who does well in a fast paced class you'll enjoy this but I do not at all. I wish I could have picked a different professor.
Really cool professor, but her online short term class is formatted really strange. Its like she just took everything from a full semester, in person class and put it online. I was constantly stressed out by the workload as nothing was condensed. Think 12 hours of work per week. I would take her again, but not for an online condensed course!
online summer class: bad decision. the work load isn't that difficult, but she expects thoroughness. she actually condenses a regular course into 5 weeks. she's passionate, but there's a heavy workload. one of her discussions was moved to be due sooner than it originally was, and it was the most important one because it was her personal research.
Professor Etheridge will make you work for your grade in order to pass her class. She is very nice and cares about her students a lot. If you don't understand the lecture, she is more glad to go over it with you during her office hours. I recommend her to anyone. She is the best anthro professor!
I took this course during the summer within a five-week period so the amount of work provided is expected. Dr. E is a very active hands-on online educator. She is lecture heavy & there are assignments due almost every day. She responds to emails in a timely manner & offers tons of extra credit. Definitely would take again without hesitation.
Very lecture heavy. Includes really interesting videos though. Her expectations and grading are very clear, but you must put in effort to get a good grade. She offers a ton of extra credit which helps.
Took her for 101 & 220, hands down one of the best profs I've ever had. Graded on a point system, and gives lots of EC, so you can opt out of work once you reach 900. Used the novel she assigned, but wouldn't bother with the textbook, & I wouldn't suggest skipping class , as she gives ICA's/HW or takes roll almost everyday.
Prof Etheridge is really nice. Definitely have to work for your grade but the class/homework is pretty easy, though it can be tedious. One aspect I really appreciated was that at the end of semester if you have enough points equivalent to an A, you are able to opt out of the final. She also offers a lot of extra credit!
Amazing teacher! You can tell she definitely put in the time to be where she is, she is confident in her lectures! She is a very nice professor, all you have to do to pass her class is literally show up and put in the work. If you skip or lack dont even bother because youre grade is based upon the work you put in.
Best Class I've done so far. Really easy 'A' I have no clue how anyone could take her Anthro101 and not get an 'A' There was so much Extra Credit. The class is easy but you learn a lot, not just a throw away class. Show up, Do HW, Do Extra Credit stuff and I guarantee you'll get an 'A' and learn alot about the subject. would take again
If homework isn't your thing don't take this class. This is the most homework heavy class I've taken so far and it's been pretty tough for me as I'm more of a test person. But this is a good teacher, her lectures are good and you can tell she is passionate about what she teaches. If your not a homework person though, I would definitely avoid it.
Professor Etheridge made me change my major to anthro! She is seriously the best professor I've ever had. She grades on a points system so I was able to skip the final and short answer since I had enough points before then. Lots of hw and it takes a while to complete, but all interesting and enjoyable. Take her lecture and lab at the same time!!!
She made this lab as painless as possible. Her syllabus and use of a point styled grading system made it easy to calculate early on which assignments required the most focus in order to earn an A and to be able to opt out of the final. Her passion for the subject came across every time our lab met. Many chances for extra credit. A great professor!
She makes you work for your grade but she is super nice! Had her for my short-term online class and it was a lot of work but SUPER interesting!
AMAZING prof/human being. U will work 4 ur grade but the wealth of knowledge is priceless. Classroom transitioned to Canvas due 2 Covid. We were up, ready 4 class in less than 48 hrs of notification. She's a force of nature who believes in her students & the future of the planet. I earned enough points 2 opt-out of final. Will take Dr E again.
Dr. Etheridge is one of my fav professors ever!!! anthropology isnt my major but she really is so passionate about it she makes you fall in love. she explains everything so well and helps you with any question youll ever have. i would recommend her to anyone.
Although the class is homework heavy, she offers so much extra credit that you will always stand over 100% in her class. She makes you work hard at first, but then you don't have to take a final so it pays off. Her lectures are very interesting. Take Dr. Etheridge, trust me you will not regret it. Great class, great Professor!
She is an amazing prof and you wont regret taking her class, yes it is a bit confusing at first but she makes sure that you understand the content that she is presenting and teaching you very understandable. The reason she was on of my favorite profs was because she lets you be super creative in the writing assignments.
Amazing teacher!! There's a lot of work but it's super easy and all the info is really interesting.
This prof is so unorganized. She just uploaded her introduction to the course, it had SO MUCH threat about trying to catch you plagiarizing, that if you accidentally forget to use citations twice, she will report you for plagiarizing. This a 101 level course and although it is compressed, when compared to others courses, is ridiculously packed.
Wow , so much homework!!! 2 chapters, discussion post, 2 lectures, response to someone else's discussion post, and atleast 2 homework quizzes each week. I showed her canvas to another professor at coc and they couldn't believe how much work I had from just one class.
If you attend the lecture, you will get all your work done for the week! Every assignment is done in lab groups. There is a midterm and final but they are not heavily weighted. Gives lots of extra credit and has office hours. She wants you to pass! You will need the textbook because labs are done directly out of it.
Amazing prof! Knows her material and teaches it so others grasp it. Shows respect and care for students. Extremely organized and timely. Grades promptly with feedback. Communicative. Accessible & available. Professional. Offers lots of extra credit opportunity. Provides extra material for those interested. Super interesting material.
Toward the end, i was having a lot of issues and canvas itself was being funky. I felt a sense of lack of empathy. i was at a 67.9 and i asked if there was anything else i could complete to receive a 70% since i was so close to passing but she denied it for whatever reason. Show up to class to get everything done.
Dr. Etheridge is an amazing professor! She is very passionate about what she teaches and it shows. Dr. Etheridge genuinely cares about her students and wants them to really understand the material. She gives you tons of resources for each assignment. If you use them, you will do great. There is a mandatory textbook, but it is low cost.
Sadly, I just finished my last class meeting with Dr. Etheridge and I wanted to come on here to tell everyone how great she is. Her class is not super hard and she makes every topic we learn about so interesting. Everything about this professor is straight forward and it is really hard not to do well in her class. I highly recommend Dr. Etheridge.
Professor Etheridge is a great professor I took her Anthro-101 8-week course. Since the course was short, at times keeping up with four quizzes per week and hw it was a little challenging. Lectures are long but for her online class, you can watch the lecture while you take the quiz, huge help. She rounds your grades so pay attention to your scores.
Do not take this course if you value your time. Textbook is free but the course is SO disorganized and cluttered. The discussion boards are the WORST. Threatens to report you for plagiarism if you don't use proper citations and will dock points off of your discussion posts if they are not 100% correct, even after asking an opinion based question.
Pretty easy course if you can mange time well. Lots of Reading and audio lectures, but she has it broken down into smaller segments which makes it very approachable. Although not mandatory, would recommend reading as all the discussion posts and quizzes/test are straight from the lecture. Easy if you set time aside for the readings!
Professor Etheridge is an amazing teacher! Her class is very straight forward and simple to follow along. She cares a lot about her students and is willing to help you out. The work in this class isn't hard and she allows two attempts on most tests or quizzes. There is plenty of extra credit options as well. I would 100% recommend taking Dr. E!
Took 8wk online course, pretty straightforward and easy. 2-3 short, multiple choice tests per unit that are based on powerpoint lecture or any other resources she assigns for the unit.
This class was very manageable and she helps you with each assignment during class. My only issue with her teaching methods is that she is very opinionated rather than fact based and her class gets very political at times. There was about one discussion board and one review packet each week and you can use the packets on the tests.
Wow this class was life altering! Dr. Etheridge is impressive. It was an 8 week class and I worked HARD! But hands down best class I have ever taken. It was an online class and her videos and lectures are incredible! I am forever changed by this class! I highly recommend taking it!
Great class! Professor was caring and really passionate!!
Ms. Etheridge was a very great professor. She was caring and respectful, and would quickly respond to emails or questions I had. The class was online so we had online lectures / videos which can be boring at times, but some were very interesting. I learned a lot in this class & as long as you all the homework & watch the videos you should be fine.
I took her in-person class this semester & she is the best. She genuinely cares about her students & how well we understand the information. Class was twice a wk & we would typically have an in-class recap "quiz" that we would do together the first class and the second class was applying the knowledge we learned. Overall, very easy & interesting.
The best lab you can take. She is my favorite professor at COC, so kind and helpful. Labs typically involve various bones & skulls to identify. Very engaging & it is amazing to see how passionate she is about anthropology. Need to be a lab manual, but that's the main thing you use for class. Final & midterm are straightforward. Take her!!
Fantastic Professor, she will always provide examples when explaining a topic and will make sure everyone understands the material. Most if not all work is done while in class so, she is always there to help and will never make you feel bad for asking questions. Would definitely take her again!
Dr. Etheridge was amazing. Very clearly passionate about what she does and teaches it clearly. I am usually not good at any type of science but her teaching style definitely helped a lot with understanding.
Took her class previous years and was wonderful class, this semester not so much. She has changed her material and it's significantly harder and extremely time consuming. I find her current class extremely difficult I just find myself staring at the screen miserable and unable to understand or complete her work.She has changedalot, do not reccomend
Professor Etheridge is a very very caring person and will really work with you to achieve what is it you're hoping to get out of the course. 100% recommend her.
Absolutely amazing professor with a great routine. Asynchronous lecture videos that can be fairly long, but the material is pretty easy to understand/grasp. Lots of discussions, however, if that's not your cup of tea.
My most inclusive professor so far. What makes a difference is how she structures her lectures and how she makes you understand the subject. She will take the time to make you feel confident in she lectures by staying after class or accommodate your learning style. Her teaching style is one of a kind and truly inspiring.The class is worth the work.
P. Etheridge is a great professor. I think her lab is truly interesting even to students who are not particularly interested in anthropology. One thing I will say is she can be a little political in class, which can be uncomfortable sometimes as it does not have a role in the classroom. You also cannot make-up labs and they are worth a lot.
I can't say enough good things about Professor. Ethridge. She Is so caring, funny, and most of all is always there when you need her. Her lab was so incredibly chill and laid back and I was always excited to show up to class. She makes learning so fun and enjoyable, which is something I value so much! I would 100% take another class with her again!
Professor Etheridge's lectures were very engaging, her canvas tabs are all neatly organized and easy to understand. Also Her updates and announcements throughout the semester were top tier.
Amazing experience. Lots of material to cover but her lectures make sure you're prepared. Warns you day-of thru Canvas when anything is due and offers a chance to make up work near the end of the semester. Lots of extra credit opportunities.
