She is a great teacher and has alernative methods to dry textbooks. She is also very understanding and helpful if you talk to her outside of the class.

The Best!

Took two classes from Sue in one semester and both were fascinating if scatty. She is great in Native American, and Cultural is more text book and lecture based though. I am taking a 3rd class from Sue in the fall and I can't wait. Do the work, listen to the instructions and you will get an A. Write something to get some credit too.

Besides the fact that she would sometimes offend students for their beliefs, she knew the material and was good at teaching. I would take another class with her if I had the chance.

She is a hoot ^^ she is really funny.

I enjoyed her as a teacher, she does tend to stray at times, but overall enjoyed her teaching, she doesn't take attendence, but know who shows up everyday. If you show up and do what little homework she gives you will get an A.

Easiest class/teacher ever! Just show up, participate in class, and do the (easy) homework. A no-nonesense gal, she's got some good dry humor. We watched movies every Friday - it was awesome. She really shows an interest in her subject. Easy A.

Fair teacher, very prompt to respond to concerns. Easy class and had some great views on the subject at hand.

Very easy teacher if you show up to class. classes can be boring but she grades in students favor.

Great professor. Knows her stuff. She is a real anthropologist. I took Cultural Anthropology online & in the summer, so there was some work. I didn't always understand the questions, but I think because Anthropology is not my favorite. I did learn a lot and if you turned in your papers before they were due, she'd correct & let you re-submit it.

Very enjoyable to take a class from. Would encourage anyone to take her classes.

her class is very easy to follow and is well planned nad laid out. the chapters you read are very interesting and the questions you have to answer aren't so bad. she is very timely with responses and grading. she is very nice and helpful as well!

I completely disagree with those who said she was disorganized. She is very organized and always there to help you our if you have any questions. You definitely learn alot if you take advantage of the videos you watch. The reading could be alot at times, but it was interesting. Good class!

Very neat lady, lot's of experience

Susan Krook is a wonderful anthropology teacher! She is very helpful and she definitely knows her stuff. She is all about making the class a learning experience for her students. Take advantage of the video opportunities and service learning, you'll get the most out of class this way. Awesome teacher, interesting class!

Susan was great! I had her for an online class, and she was wonderful about posting grades and notes on our assignments right away. It could be tricky trying to figure out what our assignments were, but overall it was a good experience. I would definitely recommend this professor.

I took the online medical anthropology class and loved it. There was alot of reading and one of the books was not very easy, but she was an easy grader as long as you did the work. She provided feedback quickly on every assignment. I would definately take her class!

She was very timely on grading, which was a plus. If you do the work and put some thought behind it you will do just fine. Probably one of my favorite teachers so far.

I have taken several of Sue's online classes & 2 archaeology field schools w/her. In person, she is a riot, and yes she has a strong personality.She has always been very supportive of me.Keeping open communication with her is important.She is understanding & flexible if you work hard & DON'T MAKE EXCUSES. Hwork is straight out of book and clear.

sue was great! she was funalways willing to help,just do you show up ready to disscuss ayou will get an A.I'd taher again in a second.

Fairly easy class although it is a lot of work. Weekly D2L posts and responses, 4-5 articles to read and respond to each week and short answer midterm and final. Very interesting subject though.

She's so intelligent and very flexible. passionate about what she teaches, honest, fair grader, gives good feedback on papers, will look at papers before you turn it in watched very good films. not lecture based. homework load is light. learned a lot. very easy to get an A just do the work. isn't strict about lateness on attendance or work

Super easy. Assignments were read the chapter and answer the ?s in the back every week. Write 3 short super easy papers. Doesn't even grade grammar or writing style, just wants to hear your opinion. Extremely easy. Wouldn't notice if you missed class

Very easy class to pass. Very understandable, knows her stuff and is very opinionated. Every week there is a few questions due. Two easy papers. I never read the textbook just did the questions which we opinions and common knowledge. However it was very interesting, would take again!

Susan Krook is the best profesor that I have ever had. She cares about her students and knows her stuff. Sure, she can be late maybe once or twice but who isn't? Give her a break. She always uses the best grammar and shows dedication and appreciation to her classstudents. Normandale has never been so lucky.

I LOVED this teacher, I HIGHLY SUGGEST HER FOR MEDICAL ANTHROPOLOGY she made it very easy for us to understand the assignments, gives partial credit for late work, and doesn't give many assignments. after taking this class i felt a lot better about myself, i would take any class with her again!!!! you will not regret taking this class with her!

Overall, it was an alright class to take. I feel like she was a bit more disorganized than other professors I've taken, but she graded fairly and it was an easy A for me. Just read the material and you'll be fine.

She really cares about you and wants you to pass, so she'll do whatever to help you. Her and Pat sometimes get off topic during lectures, but they are hilarious together. The tests are really easy. Attendance is part of your grade, but class is so fun that you won't want to miss it. She tries to get to know who you are.

I took her online Archaeology & Prehistory class. I loved learning about the major archaeology sites around the world, and learning the history of them. The videos she assigns can be long (1-3 hours). Discussions are based on the films every week, and there is chapter Q's due every week. There was no final exam, and 1 research paper. Easy class.

Susan is great! I highly recommend any online class with her. She is very straight forward with her expectations. The workload can be heavy, if you wait until the last minute. Stay on top of the reading, homework and discussion posts and you will do just fine! Aside from that, she only assigned 2 exams and 1 research paper.

Professor Krook is great. She is a very easy-going teacher, I honestly feel like every assignment is based on completion points. If you do not pass her class, you're plain lazy. I recommend her to everyone! As long as you complete each assignment, her class is an easy A. The textbook is required, must read multiple chapters each week.

Susan is a little disorganized, but overall a good online professor. After making a mistake in the schedule, she let me take an exam at a later date. She is very quick to give work back, and gives good feedback. She incorporates current events into the reading. Each week she had us read a chapter of the text and write 1-2 pages.

Easygoing and forgiving style, she wants students to succeed. Video clips in this class were < 30 minutes each. Essay questions can get rambly to the point of being incoherent (she doesn't put commas in some of her longer sentences) but not a picky enough grader for it to matter.

You need to read the textbook. Weekly homework assignments are questions from that chapter. You just can't skim and expect to answer them. She expects solid answers with references. If you have the time to read, you'll do great. Otherwise, you'll lose a few points for not answering fully. Discussions are opinion based. Midterm and final aren't bad.

I loved this class! She is very passionate about what she talks about and is easy about late work / easy on grading. Would 100% recommend.

I learned a lot. You have to read about a chapter out of the textbook every week and the assignments all come from the textbook. The weekly chapter questions are worth a big % of your grade but they can help a lot. You need to be willing to put in work. On the quizzes, I wrote 250-500 words per question and that was enough to get me an A.

This is a good class to take for Medical Anthropology. The assignment is the same form every week. You read the textbook and answers questions and the exams are pretty much the same form. There is also some movies and a book you "have" to watch and read, but the main bulk of the class comes from the textbook. Krook is a nice and kind professor.

Very interesting class, but I wish she talked to the students more. You just read from a textbook and answers questions on it every week. Still a very solid class and I enjoyed it greatly.

This class was so easy. All you need to do each week was a discussion, watching the films and reading the chapter given that week. You have assignment due every Saturday at 11:59 you are always given feedback from the teacher and if you get a low score it gets dropped at the end of the semester. There are 4 quizzes no tests.

This course was very writing heavy! It consisted of watching 2 short films on archaeology per week, reading a chapter in the textbook, and answering the questions for the weekly reading. Both the midterm and final involve writing answers for question prompts, and she expects thoroughness. She also does drop a few of the lowest scores.
