Lectures are a little boring... You learn a lot from her. She is very smart. and great teacher. Her class is challenging I like that.

A lot of the test material come from the lecture. Read before class and take good notes. Do the paper early so you don't get tied down.

Exams are from lecture. No distributed notes so attendance is very important. It's a good idea to get an early start with the paper. She's a fair grader. Read before class if not then read on the highlights of lecture and an "A" can be possible.

Sometimes can't understand what she is saying. He lectures are confusing at times. But test are kinda easy.

Her class is very boring, but she gives open book quizzes that are very easy. (Quizzes are about 5-6 questions long) Exams are fairly easy as long as you study. She has an accent, so it may be hard to understand what she says. If you miss a quiz, you may be able to retake it if you provide her with a good excuse.

Sometimes hard to understand due to accent. Class moves very slowly. Take lots of notes and tests will be easy. She gives some extra credit- overall good class.

She may be boring but overall she's not difficult. She gives study guide hand outs that she goes by when she gives lectures, so as long as you take notes on what ?'s are on the hand outs and study that, you shouldn't have a problem getting an A. & she gives lots of extra credit, that saved my ass!

Helpful and knowledgeable about her subject. Gives extra credit.

If you have a hard time paying attention for that full hour and 15 minutes, it can get boring. BUT she really knew her subject! It was kinda nice that you could tell she still was enthusiastic about what she was teaching. Lectures are very informational. You really do learn a lot. Tests are easy. There's extra cerdit. If you want to learn, take it.

I enjoyed this class and learned a lot. Dr. Cai was very helpful and followed the textbook and study outline. She offers extra credit so it is easy to get an A. She takes attendance, so going to class is in your best interest. Take notes during her lectures, apply yourself and you'll do well. Shows video of topics related to textbook. Good class!

DR. Cai wants you to learn & enjoy the class. She is extremely approachable & helpful. She follows her study guides for testing & does offer extra credit. Her accent isn't an issue as mentioned prior-I don't understand where that comes from! DR. Cai is wonderful!

Dr. Cai has the right intentions for her students. Listen to the lectures, note-taking is not pertinant, HEAVY ON THE TEXT! I learned more than I thought I would taking Cultural Anthropology and it is because of this class that I have now changed my major!

I heard a previous comment about note-taking and listening to lecture. I'd suggest listening to the lecture as though you were listening to a friend and note-taking is not necessary, if you're listening. Yes, heavy text book use. I'd pay more attention to the text than your notes. Prepare yourself to memorize vocab word for word.

great teacher, very friendly and helpful.at times a little to understand, but she is willing to explain more for you.i did not expect to like the class as much as i did.just pay attention and you can do well

lots of extra credit

Besides the accent, Cai is great. Class was not hard at all. Just take notes and read, and you'll do fine. Tests aren't that hard. Very kind teacher. I would recommend her, she is not really that bad!

This class was the most difficult, but at the same time the most interesting. I felt like I really learned a lot from this class. She knows her stuff really well. She might seem strict, but she's actually nice. It's very important to read the book, even if you don't want to! You have to also make sure that you know the study guide.

I dont't know why a lot of people say mean things about Prof. Cai. Her tests can be tricky and you do have to read a lot, I found this class to be the most interesting one. She is very understandable. The people who are bitter are probably the ones who didn't study hard enough.

She is a really tuff teacher, but i really did learn alot from her. At first i started with an F because i bummed out on my midterm but later i realized that i need to pass this course so i studed really hard and earned a B+. To those people who can't understand her you might want to use a recorder because it really helped me alot.

Her lectures are amazing! Come to class, take notes and you'll do well on her exams. She provides helpful study guides. You must do the article readings for her quizes or you won't score well.

Dr. Cai is a wonderful professor. She makes it easy to pass her. class (as long as you do the required work). She gives out a lot of extra credit. As long as you do the required reading it is an easy A

Not gonna lie, this class was tough, but it was my favorite of the semester. Cai grades on how well you understand the concepts, so this course requires a lot of critical thinking as well as time devoted to studying. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed her class, but it is definitely not a class for students who are bumming through college.

tk class online. No surprises. do the reading, do the work, and ur good. prof does have a heavy accent, so just skip her narrated lectures and read on ur own.in addition to text, have to read 300pg novel. 2 main assignments come from the novel (1q&a style paper, then a 5-6 page paper). interesting class, just b prepared to read

I don't agree with many of the other comments because my experience was entirely different. Prof. Cai was very passionate about Anthropology and showed genuine concern for teaching. She made sure we understood what was required in the course. I learned so much and definitely got my moneys worth.

Dr. Cai is very knowledgable about Anthropology. I really enjoyed learning about other cultures. Although she did spend a lot of time talking about her cultural upbringing. She is a very competent instructor and I feel happy that I was part of the course.

I took Dr. Cai's online class over the summer. One of the most interesting classes I've taken so far. Her instructions were pretty straightforward. She encouraged me to have a more open mind.

She knows her topic extremely well. Tip to pass go to laulima print out study guide and take notes as she lectures. She talks so much all the answers will be on the test. Its REALLY boring. All her test are multiple choice. I don't recommend this class but she is very organized and helpful if you ask her for help.

This class was really tough but she was a good teacher. Shes always concerned about the students and tried her best to explain each chapter If you read the book, do the discussions, and go to class its not that bad.

This class is an easy A. She gives lectures so attendance would be mandatory. She doesn't put her powerpoints online so class notes are important. The textbook is also mandatory! I didn't take her seriously when she said read your textbook, but many of the information comes from there! Make use of the extra credit. The class is only out of 200 pts!

Dr. Cai is a great teacher! I took her for ANTH 150 and ANTH 200 and got an A in both classes. She is very knowledgeable about Anthropology and passionate about what she teaches. Her lectures can be boring but if you attend class, read the textbook, and take notes, you can easily get an A. She also gives a lot of extra credit.

Nice teacher.

Not an easy A, so don't be fooled by it being an easy online course. Must read every page of the text & comprehend what you read. Tests can be tricky. Take advantage of ExCr. Definitely a great course to open mind & heart...which is vital in nursing. Fast email response and helpful for any concerns, including personal. You get what you put into it!

Many of the topics are common sense, try not to overthink. Learn the terminalogies. While writing the papers, explain throughly even for high schoolers.

Tests are tough, questions that have more than one right answer makes it confusing. Which kinda stinks because if you do average on a test prepare for a letter grade drop. I feel that her responses to the writing assignments come across as some what rude. I do realize that this is an online course so whats written may not be intended to be rude.

Professor Cai's class was not an easy A but it certainly wasn't as difficult as everyone on here lead me to believe. This felt like what I always expected a college class to feel like and I respect her for that. Just make sure you read, watch, and study the lecture videos and you'll be fine.

Lectures are long, she can go off topic but still has interesting stories. Expects a lot out of you, class is only out of 200 pts. Hardest class I've had so far, but definitely what I expected a real college course to be like. Exams- hard, but study right and you'll do good. Write a lot for WR's and try to cover everything, that's what she wants.

Online class was great! Grade was 108 at end! Easy weekly quiz over an article in book, about 6 q's mult choice. No hw! Test about once a month over about 4 chapters. Long, but open book, mult choice. If you read the material, and know where to find the answers, there is no reason to not get an A. The subject is very interesting too!

This class was interesting, if you ask anything she's already talked about she'll snap but other than that, it's a good course. There are two group projects and 3 exams spread out throughout the course. Her lectures can be boring but she has some pretty cool stories. She's super nice and really understanding. Read the book and you'll be fine.

Easy A. def need to read for the weekly quizzes, usually only a few pages. can get away with finding answers online for exams. does a few discussions throughout semester and offers lots of extra credit. ended the class with a 101 and i even skipped an assignment.

Took the online class. Read an entire text book, minus one chapter. Read many articles that were related to the chapters. She is very straightforward in her feedback and it is insightful. This is a thought provoking class. I would recommend her class to those who are willing to do the work.

Future healthcare workers, u'll learn a lot. She responds to emails quickly & gives contructive criticism (thoughtfully chosen words to not discourage you). Gives study guides, chance to earn 27 xtra credit pts, 3 open book exams for online class, 2 papers. No reason you shouldn't get an A. Tip: Required novel, just google "free pdf" version.

Lots of chances for extra credit.
