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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!!

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.
