She is a good teacher! 95% of the class passed with an A or B.

interesting, funny, EASY teacher! tests are super easy and lectures are good.

strict but very good, don't be late & get an A

She's great- make sure to sit upfront and ask questions,

Great teacher - knows her material, just study material/notes and you get an A

Professor Stolba was great. Take good notes and be sure to study your notes well for the tests.

JUST LECTURES, TEST ARE SOMEWHAT EASY IF YOU STUDY THE NIGHT BEFORE

only counts test as grade, just cram the night b4 you will due fine

Doctor Stolba is extremely bright and extremely opinionated. I don't agree with many of her opinions, but consider myself lucky to have had her as my first college professor; she gave me an outline to succeed in future classes.

Dr. Stobla makes her classes sound harder then they really are. Do not stress about her test, if you do a min amount of studying ( i never studied and still managed an A) you will be fine.

EASY! Take good notes, and make sure to come to class for review days. Everything on review, is on the exam. Does make class seem harder then it is, but dont pay any attention to it.

Make sure you show up to class, and take good notes. Very knowledgable individual. There are 4 tests during the semester. 2nd test is the hardest.

Dr. Stolba is very involved with issues concerning women in Yemen and so on. She is a cultural anthropologist... anyone who thinks she should just teach and not have other things going on is stupid. Great professors are always involved in their fields.

Barely any stress. Study exactly what she tells you to study on review, show up to class, do the outlines and you'll get an A. I like that she is involved in what she teaches.

Very good professor. Very knowledgeable on subject, makes the lecture very interesting, would recommend to anyone.

Dr. Stolba knows what she's talking about. You should respect her and pay attention. She is an awesome professor and is very cultured. Show up to class and take notes and you should do fine. Don't forget about the assign. due on test day!!

One of the most knowledgeable teacher i've come across.She really knows what she is talking about.If you attend all lectures,take good notes,& read exactly what she tells you to,you should've absolutely no problem in the class.I'd recommend her for sure.

Absolutely Spectacular Lady!Do ALL of the articles,the EC,read the chap & record her lect, use as a study tool to get info you may have missed.Record her review sessions know the defin. & concepts if she says you need know it then you do!Not for slackers, utilize ofc. hrs if necc. very helpful!!

I must admit, she is easy and tells great stories, but she is rather arrogant. Also, some of her lectures contain some false or distorted facts.

She's excellent teacher but bit harsh on MC test. She's total easy on grade. It's simple u type entire outline + info then you get full pts. She didn't even read it and she's faking it. She has a lot of interest in world and it's your chance to take this teacher for anthro class so I like her class.

Fun Class, very easy. I would have to say she is at least more interesting than most Anthro Teachers.

really cool teacher...has a lot of interesting stories....really layed back class.. becareful not to slack off too much or you might be taking it over like i am...

A pretty nice lady, but expects everyone to know more than they should. Has alot of interesting stories and life related material. Do outlines and study, you'll get an A!

She is great. She is blunt (learn to deal!!) Her stories are interesting. I would take her again! Just got to class and pay attention! Don't be offended by what she says. I have said several times to friends "she is like a female Indiana Jones." She has been all over the world, and seen many things. ENJOYED HER A LOT!

Wonderful experience. Professor Stolba is a teacher of the highest caliber. She is informative, well educated, knowledgeable about current events and at the same time a lot of fun. I wish I could take this class again!

Her deal: Born in Egypt, a women! She climbed to the top because of hard work & lazy students won’t cut it in this class, she won’t tolerate it. As Americans we are given great opportunities & should take advantage of them rather then waste them. Slackers find another class, that way you’ll get an A and still know nothing!

Dr. Stolba is an excellent professor. She's strict and expects students to put forth an effort but also fair and works with students. Go to class, pay attention and skim over the book to refresh your memory of what got covered in class, you'll get an A or B....slack off and your grade will show it. I really enjoy the stories she tells in class too.

i really enjoyed being in professor stolba's class. she is very knowledgeable, and tells great storied about her experiences. yes, the tests were difficult, but if you go to class and take good notes they aren't too bad. its worth it to hear about the places she has gone. would defintetly recommend.

Often times difficult to understand however a fairly straight forward course. Do your homework take exceptional notes and you will do well. I rarely pre read the chapters and mainly just took good notes,studied those and got a B. Also visit the SHARE Institute if you get a chance, Dr. Stolba will tell you all about it but it was a great experience.

Good teacher. Take excellent notes and you'll be fine! Minimum homework. One zoo visit. Don't be late or she will call you on it in class. She doesn't suffer fools either!

Excellent professor.

LOved the class and enjoyed all the information she had to offer.. she makes the class very fun and relax >>>>>>>>>>>>. Easy A if u follow her study techs

The best teacher ever,,, the easiest teacher ever,, Never opened the book, just be in class and takes notes and you will get an A, trust me on that,,, DON"T LISTEN to any one else,, who talks Sh*t about her,, bet professor ever,,, the clasis is extremely intresting... you should TAKE HER,,, I don't even study, just befre the test I open the ones

I took her for anth 300 and 310,, best time i ever had,,, it's like comming to class and enjoying the lecture,,, VERY FUNNY, tells a lot of her life stories which is extremly FUNNY,,, best teacher I ever had... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED...it's an EASY A if you want an A if not take someone else.. GOOD LUCK!!!

This professor is spectacular. Best time I've ever had in a class. She's enjoyable, fun to listen to, and one of the most intelligent people in their field that I have ever met. I LOVED HER CLASS. Her teaching method is clear and concise and her tests are easy. She does have a no-nonsense attitude but has a sense of humor.

i think she is so smart! she has 3 masters and i had fun with her. she's knowledgeabe, and she got me very interested in studying primates. i would recommend her and i would take her for another class. she gives you what is on the test. just make sure you go to the zoo because you have to sign in so she'll know if you really went.

out of all my lecture classes,her class is the only one that i never fell asleep even though i took it early.she know a lot about anthropology.she is an awesome teacher because she shares many stories from her own experience and that makes da class so much more interesting.just learn the buzwords and you will do just fine.the outlines are easy2do.

Dr. Stolba is awesome! She doesn't put up with stupid people, which is nice. If you're smart and participate, you're guaranteed an A. As far as slackers go, she'll put you in your place. I HIGHLY recommend this teacher to all!

Easy A. Pay attention during class, gives a lot of bonus pts, and very interesting teacher b/c of a lot of experience.

The class is easy is you show up, do the outlines and look up the buzz words. Stolba can appear to be making you feel dumb but it's more funny than anything...i never got offended. Other than that, she's a pretty good teacher w/ a lot of first hand experience.

This class is easy to get an A if you do the extra credit and the outlines. Make sure to do outlines in her format otherwise you're screwed. I got B's on 3 of the tests, but becuase I did the extra credit I ended up with an A in the class. She does not put up with slacker students.

cultural anthrop was the best class ive taken so far at arc. Her lectures are really interesting, youll never day dream. Easy A if you do the outlines the way she wants them and study the buzz words. Great class i Strongly recomend her, unless your a person that gets butt-hurt easily, cuz she might be strait up and make you look dumb...

Stolba is a true inspiration - brilliant and fascinating. If you're reasonably intelligent and interested in the subject, you can do very well. She's widely traveled and combines lectures with anecdotal stories about her experiences. She also offers copious extra credit, and is very understanding of individual student's needs. I highly recommend.

Dr. Stolba is great. Her ANTH300 class is so easy...the people who did bad are the ones who never came to class. It's 5 tests (less than 40 questions each) and "outlines" with each of the tests...the outlines are so easy and you can pretty much BS them. She's very humorous and intelligent. I loved this class, easy science!

Love/hate thing with her. Tells fascinating stories but is usually rude and seems very disinterested. She is primarily focused on her work outside of teaching. Fascinating person but not the best instructor. Articles written by her are a pain to read. That aside, class is interesting and easy.

this class was not that hard. The only requirments are 2 outlines due with every test, 4 total. She is a very direct person does not like people to waste her time or the classes. I liked her, she is a very interesting lady. I would recommend reading the book. The test seemed to be based on facts in the book more so than lectures but the lectures ar

Stolba took awhile to get use to. Just show up to class, EVERYDAY, TAKE NOTES, and you will be fine. She actually cares, in her own way.

This class was very interesting; however, most of what I learned came from the textbook. She spends most of her time talking about her Anthropology trips and experiences, which can be very interesting. I thought the outline assignments were unnecessary, and she was pretty rude when I went to talk to her in her office.

stolba is a great proffesor. she is interesting and smart her stories are interesting she is hella funny, i dont think she was mean at all i guess some peeps are sensitive. Anyways do the outlines take notes read and you should get an A.

I Love this class. She loves to help people. She makes you love the world. TAKE HER she is the best.

Professor Stolba knows what she is talking about and her lectures are a clear example of this. She gives 3 tests and 1 final. She also assigns outlines from a book of articles that are due before each test. Very easy class if you come to all of the classes and write good notes. Definately take this class if you want to learn more about cultures.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND her class. It is very easy and interesting. She's an anthropologist so she tells a lot of stories that are based on experiences. One of the best professors ive ever had. Her lectures are not boring.

This professor is great! She is easy to follow.So much of her lecture is from experience and because of that the stories are memorable and help with retention.She's picky about the outlines but if you follow the example line by line and font by font, you will receive full points.She gives ample extra credit the Share Institute presentations are fun

She knows what she's talking about and is aninteresting woman. Make sure you engage in her discussions because she gets upset and wont give you an exam review if it seems like you don't care. Reviews are helpful, take notes. You do a few outlines that are easy and tests aren't too bad. A lot of EC and she wants you to do well so she's very helpful.

Shes hilarious! just read the book, do your outlines and DO THE EXTRA CREDIT!

LOVED this teacher! I don'trknow why people here had such a hard time with her class, this is the first college class I'd taken and I found it very easy. She's clear about what she expects from her students and the tests are MULTIPLE CHOICE. Also, her stories make it very easy to remember information.

Wow people actually found her hard? Just come to class, write down everything she writes and do the outlines. She doesn't read the outlines at all, she gives you an A on the zoo report if you attempted it and the quizzes aren't that big of a deal. So much extra credit is allowed too, it can boost your grade one letter like mine did if you do it all

Anthropology301 8 wk course. Dr Stolba is the way she is !! You just have to deal with it. Her class is easy.do the outlines,the extra credit stuff. She is monotonous. She gets side tract most of the times.There is an impt quiz it determines your final grade in a way. If you don?t do what she asks you to do this class is not for you.

Excellent teacher! She's a great resource, full of interesting stories that pertain to the lecture. Outlines are a no brainier, easy points. Tests aren't very difficult study the buzz words and you'll be fine. She's a wonderful woman, would recommend to a friend.

Solid Prof, 4 exams and 9 article outlines. Exam material is derived from both the lecture and notes. Lecture is not available online so if you miss class you miss out. Strict on attendance and punctuality, so be there and on time. She tells many personal stories of her professional research and they are truly inspiring.

She gives you all the tools you need to get an A (buzz words which are like a study guide, review days, e.c. etc.) She is not mean what so ever, and I have never had a hard time understanding her due to her accent. Yes she gets annoyed at students who don’t show up and don’t do their work but what teacher wouldn't? Pretty easy A.

Dr. Stolba is extremely passionate about anthropology and has worked in 33 countries; teaching for 25. If you read the text and make sure to have quality outlines the day of the test, you cant go wrong. I loved her class!

Professor Stolba is AMAZING! She is crystal clear on what it is you need to know in order to get a good grade on the quizzes. Quizzes are moderately easy. You must do your article outlines as well, or else you will fail the class. She gives help on the article outlines when needed. BE ON TIME. She is strict about attendance and punctuality.

I love Stolba. She is much better than Katrina Worley. She has actaully worked in teh field and can help you achieve your goals even after you take her class. She is funny and gets the entire class engaged.

Soheir is a good professor. She gets straight to the facts and it isn't hard to pay attention. Taking notes is recommended because all her notes will be on the exam. You have to do the outlines for exams or risk an F. And you need to read the book. Read book/Notes makes an easy A. Real simple.

Its an easy class. If you are there to take notes you will pass. However, the material she teaches is literally out of a book that she published in the 80s. Its very frustrating to spend your time writing summaries on outdated materials just so she can make extra money by selling her text book to students.

Very clear in what she wants and expects from you and has no sympathy if you fail to meet the criteria she clearly explained. Does an in-depth review before every test. Super interesting class that's well worth showing up for. Attendance taken every time and factors into your grade. She will notice if you're late or absent, and will call you on it.

She is one of the best professors I have ever taken. She is hilarious and wants you to succeed. If you come to class everyday you can easily pass tests with the lectures given. She is passionate about her work and it shows through her teaching. Has you do outlines 2 per test, very interesting must do them if you want an A in the class.

Grades consist of 4 tests and participation and up to 5% extra credit. Do you out lines right the first time and use the same format for the tests and the rest of the tests are fairly easy if you read the text and pay some what attention to class. If you do not do the easy stuff you will do horrible in class.

I say that Stolba is an amazing teacher! Why? The lectures she gives is everything that will be exactly on the test, so no reason to guess and study of what will be required on the exams. On top of that, her lectures aren't boring. She makes every topic/unit interesting, so there was never a time that I was bored. Attendance is very crucial as well

Professional abilities are good, she lets the class out earlier, and has some extra credit. Overall. would recommend.

I barely opened the required text book, and I just borrowed her other book from the library. The homework is doing a summary of her articles in a 2 page format she gave. She teaches off of her test so attending class is advisory, but if u miss a day you can just read the book. Very funny and experienced. She also gives a lot of extra credit.

She's fair and gives lots of extra credit. Her tests can be difficult, but if you take notes and do the outlines you should be good. She has tons of experience in anthropology and has some valuable information to pass on.

Passed around a sheet everyday for attendance. Homework was outlines of her book-really simple- just follow the sample. She uses a test bank from the book for her tests. She covers 85% of the test material in lecture, the rest you have to read. She shares a lot about herself. A lot of easy extra credit opportunities.

She was one of the funniest professors Ive ever had. Never veers off topic, what she discusses will always be on the tests. Not a hard class if you pay attention and take notes on EVERYTHING she says. Her lectures are really interesting and enjoyable. She likes to involve the students, but her class is very enjoyable. Only studied off the notes.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING PROF. Offers 12pts of EC which can take you from an B to A. Outlines are worth 9pts of the 50 total for exams (4 total). Do EC immediately as it will save your grade. Lectures are simply AMAZING and can be funny at times. 85% of exam material is from lecture. So much easier than SOC300. Highly recommend for nursing majors.

If you don't have a problem with simply showing up and writing basic notes from time to time, there's no way you can't pass. I even tried to slack off this semester and still scraped an easy A. Lots of extra credit opportunities, very simple material. You only need to study/work for this class like an hour or two per week max.

Took ANTH 300 and 310 with her. She's a very good teacher, 3 masters degrees and 1 PhD. Here's the deal with her: She wants to put the theory into practice. If you participate and AT LEAST try, she'll give you the answer. Raise your hand, do it. Even if you're wrong, at the end of class she'll give you the answers to the test. 4 exams and 4 outlins

Dr. Stolba is a very educated woman in her field. 4 test that are LITERALLY based on your notes and she gives you the questions during the study sessions. DO THE EXTRA CREDIT! Don't bother buying the book, just base it off your notes. She treats you like an adult. She is your prof. not your friend. make flashcards, read your notes and you will pass

Dr. Stolba is definitely experienced and a wonderful teacher with humor. She does tend to share a lot of her stories related to her work in the field. Show up to class and take notes, she reads questions right off the tests and gives you the answers. Extra credit is offered so take it up!!!

Dr Stolba was such a fun professor to have. Her class is an easy A if you can simply memorize small facts, she literally tells you exactly what is on the tests each time. The work is easy too, you just need to do it and follow her directions and you'll get an A. Super fun and easy class

Shes like Tracy Morgan..... idk if shes trying to be funny.... but shes funny. VERY SIMPLE CLASS if you can take simple directions and good notes, idk how much longer she will be a professor but shes a good one. Whatever she tells you, is on the test. That simple

I really enjoyed Stolba's lectures. She makes Anthropology fun! She literally tells you what is going to be on the test and you can tell she takes pride in her students whom succeed. I would definitely take her class again!!

This woman is hilarious. I don't think she means to be though. She's the mean professor that everyone loves.

Stoba is a very understanding professior. She gives 4 test and 2 outlines per each test. You will need to do a zoo report. She doesn't give out homework. She wants perfect format on the outlines. She does a reivew day before the test. Shes doesn't like when ppl come in late so thats the only time when shes rude. Over all you need to study and get A

Professor Stolba is a savage(: It's impossible to fail her class unless you don't take notes. 4 exams and no homework at all which is super awesome. Another thing I loved about her is that she doesn't push anyone to believe in evolution or put christians down for believing in God. I'm a christian and I really respected that about her.

She's a good professor. I enjoyed her lectures, she usually has interesting stories. Try to get the same exact format for the outlines as in the syllabus and make the changes she suggest when she checks your rough draft. For the exams just memorize all the stuff she tells you to memorize or mentions in the review. Overall pretty reasonable.

She is a great teacher, simple letures to follow but are followed by tests that cost a lot of your grade. It is all in the lectures though. She is funny and passionate of her job. Would take again

Stolba has a lot of knowledge in this field. She is very knowledgeable and has ran many studies. If you are going into Anthropology she is the perfect professor for you. The class rules are clear, if notes are taken and outlines are done you should pass the class just fine. Make sure to study for the test, we have a review day them.

Dr. Stolba is funny without even trying :) She's incredibly knowledgeable in her field and lived in over 30 countries doing extensive research. Her textbook is amazing with a wealth of knowledge and superb history. Her lectures were simply intriguing too. 3 exams and she reviews before each exam, just super awesome and brilliant professor!
