Very good teacher!

GREAT teacher! 3 in-class quizzes(easy essays & she gives the questions to you b4 the test),5 hw assignments (short answers),3tests(multiple choice)..just study lecture n ull get an A!

she tells you what's going to be on the quizzes. multiple choice tests are a little confusing. you have to be very detailed with your answers. other then that she's easy.

so good.. shes so rad

The class is awesome - she's a good teacher.

She is so funny and I actually enjoyed learning in her class. I never even fell asleep!

I learned alot from this course. She's a good teacher.

She taught me alot and seemed to enjoy her job. Just do the required work and you'll do fine on the tests.

Her lectures were interesting and she seemed to love her subject. Be prepared when you come to class and never add a comment unless you know the material, otherwise she will make an example of you.She hates tardiness and those who leave early.

Wendy is no problem if you DO YOUR WORK. If you don't well you'll fail. As to he rno being helpful she even offered to let me bring my 6 year old son to class w/ me one day - it was a topic he was interested in... seems you just have to interest her.

Her lecture is very interesting, but it's hard to get A in this class even if you study really hard.

Really cares about students. Gives study guides for tests and goes over what she expects out of the quizzes, so as long as you do your part, study and pay attention to details, you should be fine. Lectures are great -- you'll learn a lot from her class!

There are a lot of negative rating about Wedy here but I enjoyed her class. She was a very nice lady and teaches with good detail. I think you can get an A or B if you go to all the classes and take notes. Her tests are all from notes and studyquestions.

she is very clear and she can be pretty fun. She has a laid back attitude that makes you feel comfortable asking questions and making comments.

EASY CLASS!!! not much studying involved (like math,bio,& chem classes). just do the hw, memorize a few essay questions, and get an EASY A!!! unless you dont wanna do ANY work. but if you do a little work, youll get an A!!!

Gr8 teacher, makes the class fun, but you have to work for your A.

Of course the Anthro 2 (cultural anthro) is going to be easier than Anthro 1... Wendy is tough on tests and expects you to memorize the book. She's pretty good about helping you when you need it, but study hard for the tests.

Great teacher. The class is very well structured and you will definitely learn and remember a lot from writing and memorizing the essays. She has a funny sense of humor and has a lot of knowledge so the class is interesting.

This class is very hard if you don't read your textbook and not showing up in class. She writes a ton of notes on the board. If you know your stuff, her hw, quizzes, and tests aren't that hard. Overall, she is a pretty good professor.

This class is facinating! Gabriella is very clear explaining exactly what you need to do to get an 'A.' But remember, this is college-if you don't come to class, read the text, and study, of course you will fail. Gabriella requires you to know a little bit about anthropology. Is that too difficult?

I have learned so much in her class. She is a good professor. Her notes are very clear, but you need to read the book in order to do well, and pay attention. Slackers will not do well in her class, because she is tough on attendance andhomework. However, the knowledge received is worth it.

I am happy with her. While she is every busy with other things in her life she is still a great teacher. She has some of the best teaching skills of any teacher i have had. You will retain most of the information she gives you and she has no surprises. While she is not very personal she is friendly.

i actually heard she quit smoking. the class really isnt that bad but you do need to come to class everyday. she tells you what to memorize for your quiz and it really helps out. im not an anthro person but the class was pretty decent.

I found her teaching abilities very good so good that I took her twice. She isn't out to be your friend so that teachers studnts to be independent and responsible for thier own education. Very helpful when a student needs her and ASKS for help. She will stay after class to answers questions and keeps office hour appointments. Passionate teacher!

This class requires a decent amount of work. Tests are not too hard. Despite the fact that each multiple choice test consists of 70 questions, expect to finish well under an hour, that is IF you study reasonably long enough. You just need to come to class, READ the textbook, and READ the journal articles. Decent class and teacher overall.

She is such a cool teacher, this is the second class I've taken with her. I find her lectures very interesting and the tests and quizzes are way easy, she freaking GIVE YOU THE ANSWERS! Just memorize them! And she's way nice and funny.

Material is interesting, but tests seem to deviate from the topic. If you read your stuff you'll do well, other wise.... good luck.

Professor Gabriella is the best pedagogue in the world. She should call her daughter's father more often - but otherwise, she's flawless.

Very thorough/descriptive lectures. If you take good notes and study before the tests, you'll do great.

Prof. Gabriella knows her stuff really well and explains thoroughly. Don't take summer school (Anth1) unless your ready to take lots of notes and memorize a whole lot in little time. She gives you the quiz questions beforehand so you pretty much know the answer before taking the quiz. Tests are pretty hard though.

I loved this class! A wonderful alternative to Biology! Take this class. But beware, you will have to memorize a lot of material in a short amount of time. It's nothing that anyone can't handle, however. You will be looking at a lot of skulls, but after awhile you become innured. I like Prof. Gabriella's old fashioned teaching style.

this has to be the best class i've ever taken at ivc. she has really interesting lectures. pretty much just go to class take notes and use her study questions. be careful tho bout the test about kinship(make sure u attend that lecture.)-cost me an easy A in the class. otherwise i really enjoyed this class. very interesting!!!

Wendy is an excellent professor, and I truly enjoyed her class. I had never expressed an interest in anthropology before, and now it has become one of my favorite subjects. Wendy's class certainly changed my life, and I recommend it to EVERYONE.

Althou I took this class in summer, it was a way cool class. I learned a lot. Wendy is a helpful and funny teacher. If u want to learn something and have a good time, take this prof.

You are paying to be there and she treats you accordingly. You are told what to study and then you are tested on it. If you need someone to hold your hand, she is not for you. If you like to be treated as an adult and can handle a little reading then you will like her. I dig her style... its 100% no B.S. I truly wish more teachers were like her.

she is the best teacher ever! everything is laid out for you, if you don't get an A in the clas then you are retarded! she gives you the answers to the quiz before hand and is extremely sweet.

She is my favorite teacher so far at IVC. Her lectures are interesting and she has a good sense of humor. 3 tests and 3 quizzes, you will know exactly what is on them before hand.

I loved this teacher. She was so helpful and very insightful. But unlike most teachers who are insightful she seems like a real person who is easy to understand and relate to. Plus I thought she was gorgeous which was really distracting cuz i kept catching my self staring at her butt :-/ Sorry Wendy

She is so cool and she is so liberal with us and dont give hard time...

great teacher! she seems a little ditsy but she is very intelligent. very fun, laid back. 3 test 3 quizzes. quizzes are easy but test are really confusing! you wouldnt think that test would be so hard. i enjoyed her enough to take anthro 1 and 2! she is cute for a little lady, her personality makes her hot!

This teacher's quizzes are very easy (she gives you the answers), but her tests are confusing and difficult. She is ditsy but nice. I'd prefer a more organized teacher. She never has enough tests for the class, and she doesn't use the internet.

She was such a great professor. If you take notes and pay attention, the tests are simple and I didn't even have to study more than 15 minutes for each quiz or test. The class is only 3 quizzes and 3 tests, but they are simple if you listen to her lectures!

I took Physical Anthro with her. It was so easy. I got an A. I didnt read the textbook. All I did was attend class everyday and write down everything that came out of her mouth and on the powerpoint slides. That's all you need to do! Have a pen, some paper, and get ready to write. If you dont like to write notes, you will not get an A in her class.

I took her over the summer and it was pretty easy. She gives you three essay-quizzes where she gives you the question and the answers the class before. Her tests are a little tricky but she has 5 extra credit questions. (She has study guide's on blackboard) Also she's pretty good at uploading grades on time. Easy A

She is THE NICEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD! She is so cute. Gives you answers to the quizzes and her tests are really easy. There is no homework other than to study. You will not regret taking her class!

Such a sweet lady! She may come off as a ditzy person, but don't let that deceive you; she knows her stuff and will answer any question about anthro you throw at her. Pay attention to her lectures and you won't need the book at all. No homework. Attendance not mandatory but her lectures are what will get you that A.

This class is so easy, she is a great teacher who pretty much gives you the answers to the quizzes as well as what will be on the exams. You have to put in real effort to not succeed in this class. plus, its really interesting stuff. Shes great.

She's super nice (smiling all the time) and wants her students to get an A. There are 3 exams and 3 essay quizzes. She tells you how she wants the essays written. All you've gotta do is take good notes and study them. The topic is interesting as well. Cheers to you, Wendy!

The easiest class ever! You must attend every class in order to receive all knowledge needed to do well on tests. Her lecture worth more than textbook.

Nicest teacher ever! Always makes jokes and smiles. The class is very interesting within itself and she just makes it better. Would take it all over again! Just make sure you attend every single class to take GOOD notes. She gives extra credit, so receiving an A shouldnt be too hard!

Had her for anthro 1 before, so I already knew what was expected. Go to class and take notes. An easy A. 3 essay quizzes and 3 tests. For quizzes she gives you the answer in the format she wants it in and what needs to be in it, I don't see how people do poorly on them.

You must attend her class, specially if she is going over a quiz question.. she's a great teacher although i didn't like her quizzes -_-

I tried to get this prof for two semesters and I got in this spring. It was worth it. She is totally great, you'll learn a lot, and laugh a lot. She has a great sense of humor. If you are a guy, sometimes it's a little hard to concentrate cos she's so cute.

If you do not intend on attending this class every day, then do not expect to do well. I know nothing about anthro and got an A because I showed up every day. Her lectures are clear and precise. Everything on the tests are from her lectures and slides. Very straightforward class.

Straightforward, clear teacher. Attend every class, as notes are vital to quizzes and exams. The quizzes are in essay format, but she tells you exactly what should be in it, so it's not difficult at all. Her tests are easy if you study. She's a nice, cheery woman with a sense of humor. Wonderful experience. Take her.

Take this prof. She loves teaching and it shows. She shows up 15 mins before class, shoots the breeze with students and is totally helpful. You can connect with this prof as she is 100% available to assist. She is totally cool. And she is not hard on the eyes. Plus, she's so totally funny. I got a "C" but I laughed everyday. She's right on.

Take this prof. You will learn a ton. She is totally great.

Easy A for me, but I DID attend almost every class. Very nice and helpful teacher, answers all questions. She tells you the textbook is required for a good grade; I bought it, but I never used it. Powerpoints every class. 3 quizzes, 3 tests, 1 E/C quiz. 5 E/C ?'s every test. Take good notes every class & study, you'll get an easy A. Recommended!

RECOMMEND RECOMMEND RECOMMEND. The quizzes seem like a lot of work since they are essays but she gives you the answers in class so pay attention. All you have to do is basically memorize it word for word. Her tests are straight from the lectures so pay attention! If you work hard then you'll get an A for sure! She's great!

Take her class, you'll learn a lot and she's very helpful. You're going to have to pay attention to her and take notes while she lectures because most what she lectures off is on the test. Just don't be lazy and review the notes & you'll be fine.

I LOVE PROFESSOR GABRIELLA! She is so nice and she is good at teaching. She knows what she is talking about and very clear. It was an easy A for me but definitely needs efforts. She will give you the answers for the quizzes. All you have to do it make em into complete sentences. If you are willing to put effort in this class, you will be just fine!

Prof. Gabriella is one of the best teacher at IVC! Her way of teaching is very understandable and clear. The class had 3 essays, which materials to put in essays were given in the class. The tests were very fair and somewhat easy. She tries to make us understand in very easy way! Just attend every class that is all you need to get an A.

Great teacher and super organized. RECOMMEND. I didn't know what to expect and learned a lot. I'm thinking about being an anthro major now. She is very helpful and I met with her a few times. Study guides, power points and practice tests all on blackboard.

Such a sweet professor. Always willing to help you, and has the best interest for her students. If you are a good note taker/listener, this class will not be a problem. For her quiz preparations, write down everything she says. All you have to do is memorize. As for the tests, take advantage of her study guides and extra credit questions. They helped me a lot. I was very pleased with this class.

She is a very fun teacher. Informative and engaging, she made learning anthropology very fun! Be sure to ask questions, because she is great with her explanations. Also she is just too adorable!

This class opened my eyes! I never thought anth could be so interesting. Prof. Gabriella does such a great job of teaching the subject! This class is easy if you do the work but the material isn't challenging. One awesome fact about her is that she's also a lawyer, so she teaches with with clarity and precision! And she's always there to help.

*dont need book. sign in attendance. She is very nice and helpful but a little cooky. Class consists of 3 written quizzes that you just need to memorize the answers to and 3 mc tests. If anthro is your passion/major I think you will need to take classes with other professors to ensure you're getting the right information and a thorough education :/

Loved this class! I was worried about taking a once a week class, but her lectures are really comprehensive. Her metaphors were helpful, especially with the cultural aspects and stuff. For quizzes (essays), she states exactly what you need to write, you just need to memorize! Study hard for exams, but again, just memorization.

Attendance is mandatory. Always on top of things. GREAT professor. She gives you (or guides) all the answers to the quizzes. Just make sure to read em or else she'll be pissed when nobody understands the topic. You will never read the book. Make sure you to write down what she says as it actually appears on the tests (3) and quizzes (3).

Love prof Gabriella! She is great, I recommend not getting the textbook (I got it for only a dollar on amazon) but just take good notes. Showing up to class is a must. There are essay quizzes but it is simple because she gives you the answer the class before. The material is a little bit harder toward the end of the semester, lots of big words!

Hands down best professor ever! She is very enthusiastic and clearly loves teaching as her profession and the subject she teaches. If you go to every class, take good notes, and read the articles for article quizzes you are good to go! Recording lectures is a GOOD IDEA (hinthint). Very helpful, clear, and nice :)

Love her!!! Such a sweet lady and she keeps class interesting! Easy class to pass just study for the test and quizzes!

Class is really easy. Textbook is not needed--Textbook only helps with the extra credit questions. Pay attention to lectures. Tests and Quizzes are the main portion of the grade, homework is never assigned. As long as you do the study guides, your tests should be easy. Make sure you look at the practice tests that the professor gives you for tests

This subject does not interest me at all but Wendy makes class very interesting. She basically gives you the answers for the tests and everything is on her power points. Honestly its all up to you to study and review, I definitely recommend taking her class. She's the sweetest lady as well, I loved her! You can tell she's passionate about Anthro.

First of she tells you exactly what is to be expected for her class, there is no confusion when it comes to her quizzes and tests. The reason I received a B is because there is a lot of memorization. Nice teacher, actually has a pretty good sense of humor. I recomend this class for GE only if you can dedicate the time for studying.

Teacher is very clear about what she expects. There is no confusion of what is on her tests and quizzes. The reason I got a B is because there is a lot of memorization. She is nice, and she actually has a pretty good sense of humor.

Awesome teacher - passionate and kept my interest even though I don't care about anthro. Go to every class and write down exactly what she says. Multiple choice questions on tests are exactly what she says in class, so there's no surprises. There is one essay before each test that she helps you plan out virtually word for word in class beforehand

She's really a great teacher and has the bonus of being adorable. If you're a guy you might have a hard time concentrating :P

It is an easy A, if you follow her directions. All materials of tests/essays are from her lecture,you don't really need a book. Tests are alright, all from hw and lectures. Essays must be clear and readable, otherwise 0. Generous w extra credits. She has an attitude, but if you find her niche, you'll be her favorite.

Wendy is really sweet, and makes the material easy to understand. As long as you show up, take notes, and aren't annoying or rude, you will pass. There aren't very many points available in her class, so take every quiz/test seriously! The book really isn't necessary to purchase. It'd just waste $30 bucks to purchase it.

Very nice. She gives good lectures on very interesting topics. Very little point opportunities. She gives 3 exams and 3 essay quizzes. For the quizzes she gives you the outline and all you have to do is memorize it. Her tests are average difficulty. To succeed, attend and take good notes and pay close attention. She is very nice and a good teacher.

Wendy is the best. I've never retained so much information from a class before. She is always repeating herself so it sticks. Tests are average difficulty but she gives you the questions and the answers to the quizzes. I had a lot of fun in this class.

I really enjoyed her lectures, she was enthusiastic and discussedexpanded on more than just what she had on her PowerPoint, unlike a lot of professors I've had. She is also funny and adorable, but not afraid to talk about debatable issues.

I took Wendy in the summer for anthro 1 so I decided to take her again for anthro 2 in the fall. I absolutely adore her. She's really opened my mind and since taking her class, I'm going to minor in anthropology. She's a tough grader but she makes it clear what she's looking for. 3 tests 3 quizzes, 1 makeup quiz, simple.

Her lectures really stick to you because of the way she explains it and repeats the material. She keeps us engaged in each lecture and I've never had a professor do that before! Her tests and quizzes are very straight forward because she provides you with outlines and notes that are specific to each quiztest. Study & you'll pass

I don't understand why Prof Gabriella does not have a higher rating. She is one of my favorite professors at IVC. Her lectures are SO interesting and engaging, and she makes sure the information is organized and easy to understand. Her tests are not difficult if you take good notes and ACTUALLY study. I highly recommend her!

Good class. Took it over the summer as my first college class and got an A. Research papers are replaced by quizzes, she also offers a make up quiz come finals. Her lectures are very straightforward and easy to understand, basically if you take notes about what's on her lectures and study you will get an 100% or higher since there is extra credit.

Amazing class and amazing teacher. She makes the material very interesting and makes students want to come to class. Wouldn't recommend skipping class since her tests are all lecture based. She gives you the quiz questions ahead of time along with test study guide which makes it east to get a good grade.

Took Anth 2 from her. Lectures are VERY clear and concise and help with tests much more than the textbook. She is super laidback, forgiving, gives great answers, will joke around, she 100% WANTS you to succeed. All in all really nice teacher!

She gives out 70 question tests, be sure to understand the material.

I learned so many AMAZING things in this class. It ended up being one of my favorite classes taken at IVC and I learned so much. Even though I got a B, I enjoyed every moment of this class. The subject is so interesting and some things that everyone should get educated on. Especially since wendy is such an amazing teacher. take the class with her!!

I really enjoyed her class. There were 3 essay quizzes based on articles. We went over the articles as a class before the quizzes so you know what she is looking for. Tests are easy as long as you review the material. Her lectures were interesting. She really knows her stuff! You do not need the book

Taking Anthropology over the summer with Professor Gabriella was a great decision. Not only is she crystal clear with her grading criteria, she makes the classes very enjoyable & interesting. Her exams are based off of what she says in lecture, so write every definition she says. As a visiting UC student, I would come back and take her class again.

This was one of the first classes I took was over the summer and professor Gabriella was absolutely phenomenal. Her lectures are crystal clear and she will gladly repeat what she says if you ask her to. She goes over quiz questions ahead of time and provides a clear outline for how she wants your essay to be. Not difficult to get an A at all.

Professor Gabriella is an amazing professor! Grade consists of 3 quizzes (30 pts each) and 3 tests (70 pts each). Quiz is an in-class essay but she goes over everything that you have to include so take good notes and you'll be fine. Tests only include information covered in lectures so TAKE. GOOD. NOTES! Lecture-based class but she makes it fun!

Very intelligent woman, really knows her stuff. Very clear about what will be on the tests & quizzes. Even outlines the essays for you in class. Provides a very helpful study guide. Take good notes & read the book & you should be fine. Very nice gal.

Loved her class! Her lectures are very interesting . I don't have the book and I'm passing . If you take really good notes on her lectures and study off those you will pass !!

Loooooove her! She is amazing. She always makes sure you understand the material. Her tests are worded a little funny but if you take good notes and do the practice tests that she puts up on blackboard, you'll definitely get through it. The questions on the practice test are also on the test verbatim so that's an easy 10-15 points you could get.

She is very clear in what she expects from you. If you study with the material online, you should do well on tests. There are three big essay quizzes, but she tells you what you should be writing for each paragraph during lecture. One of the best professors I have had at IVC. Notes are clear, lectures are interesting, and she is very passionate.

I took Anthro 1 this fall and got an A but barley. Class was interesting but some of the material may be confusing and the only thing in your gradebook are three quizzes and 4 tests which means if you suck at taking tests, dont take this class. Take notes and fill out the study guides ahead of time. Textbook was useless to me never even opened.

I personally enjoyed this class. I only used the book for extra credit questions. You have to pay attention during lecture to do well in this class. Other than that, the class is clear. Study ahead of time for both of the quizzes and tests. I'm not a huge fan of ATHRO but she made it somewhat enjoyable to learn. She makes it clear on what to study

Took Anthro 1, to be more specific Biological Anthro, loved the class, Professor Gabriella is super awesome, very helpful and she gives the exact topics of the quiz's and what to write about them, the study guides and the practice test mirror the test's and the final, would take this class again and any class with her!! She rocks and is very kind!!

People who complain about her anthro class being hard probably just didn't show up. There's no homework (grade based off of 3 quizzes, 3 tests) and she LITERALLY tells you exactly what to write on the quizzes to get an A. Really easy and a fun/interesting class to take for GE.

Just go to class and you'll pass. SPOON FEEDS you the answers to her quizzes and her tests aren't that hard if you take notes or pay attention. each Quiz consists of 2 topics , roughly 3 paragraphs each but she tells you what to write. tests multiple choice. HW is reading for the quiz. there's about 4 quizzes and tests. Interesting lectures

Wendy cares about her subject and provides her students a chance to look beyond their safe, secure world into what is actually happening outside of Irvine. I thoroughly enjoyed this class and look forward to the opportunity of taking her again.

A lot of people got caught cheating. Don't bother trying, she sees everything.

I loved Prof. Gabriella! Her class is pretty straight forward, come to class and you will pass. Her exam questions come from the lecture so don't skip. Anthro 1 is mainly memorization, flashcards helped me. Don't worry about buying the book, I didn't and I got an A. She's very helpful and she doesn't mind repeating herself. Cares about the students

If you want to get an A, you have to get an A on all the assignments. There are 3 in class essays (which she gives you the prompt and how she wants written a few classes before) and 3 tests. Pretty boring class; not too eventful.

Professor Gabriellas anthropology classes are generally all fun, but it's one of those classes where if you miss one class, you will have a lot to catch up on. Her tests are based on her lecture and she outlines the quiz for you before the quiz date so you don't need to worry too much as long as you pay attention.

She is a really nice professor and specifies exactly what she wants from her students. Her class is pretty easy as long as you take notes and read the articles. However, her lectures are a little scattered sometimes so it his hard to stay organized. Her quizzes are easy as long as you come to class when she discusses the prompt.

She gives about 3-5 extra questions for every exam. There are 3 quizzes (essays) and 3 exams including the final. Lecture based exams. It's not that easy, but you can still aim for an A.

I really enjoyed this class. Professor Gabriella is passionate about what she teaches and the class is very easy. She gives out study guides before each chapter that has everything you need to know for the tests. Before each test/final she posts a practice test that are word for word test questions. No reason to not get an A in this class.

I love Wendy Gabriella. She is probably one of the best teachers I've ever had! She literally gives you the quiz questions and answers them in class! Don't even bother wasting your money on a book. Her lectures are actually very interesting & for tests I only missed 3 at most on all of them so I would recommend making quizlets out of your notes!

It's easy to understand her lecture and is very interesting.

Make sure to take good notes! Her lectures are usually clear and concise.

COMEDIAN! She loves to talk about In-and-Out burgers and being "selected against". SIMPLE! Taking her class is so simple it's stupid. She basically feeds you the answers! Sit in the front of the class! You won't want to miss any of her jokes.

She's awesome! The class is easy, four tests with practice tests online that are so helpful and three essay quizzes, takes attendance but it doesn't count for anything

The class was very interesting but very hard. I studied more for this class than any class I've ever taken, but kind of enjoyed it because it's so interesting. Only graded on tests (completely multiple choice) and quizzes (free response essay questions). Don't need the textbook because all information is based on lectures. Must take great notes!!!

Professor Gabriella's class is great for those looking to fulfill their Physical Science requirement. Her lectures are very detailed and gives you everything you need to ace the tests. She grades based off of quizzes and exams and there is little to no homework. She's funny and her lectures are great even if they are a little long.

She was a phenomenal teacher. I took her online for cultural anthropology over the summer and honestly she made me so much more interested in the subject than I thought I'd be. She sent out video lectures that were insightful, funny and very clear. Just take notes on a separate google docs file and you'll be set. This is my 2nd class with her! :)

I'm about to take her again for Cultural Anthro online and she's a great professor. I've never taken a class where it was so clearly laid out what to study for the tests. In class I took notes on the study guide you can download from her website and be sure to take the practice tests she puts up online; some Q's will be on the test word for word.

Took her class for a GE requirement and I loved it! Her lectures are clear and she gives study guides for her tests. Tests can be hard if you don't try but as long as you go to class and read your notes before the test you're fine.

LOVED her class, probably best lecturers i've experienced. gives you answers to quizzes, tests are straightforward. i took this class dreadingly for GE credit and ended up loving anthropology! class always went by super fast, everyone was always in awe of her. would love to take her again!

Her teaching is very straight forward and clear, but every single word she said might be on the test. Test book doesnt help. Her PPT doesnt help. Only way is to attend the class and take notes. Better write down everything.

Overall she is an amazing professor!! Very sweet, understandable, and funny. 3 quizzes and 4 tests. Her class is completely lecture based, so dont buy the book and make sure to take ALL of the notes. Her tests are difficult, but if you study the lecture notes you'll be fine. Quizzes are easy because she directly gives the answers. Take her class!

LOVE HER!!! One of the best professors I have ever had in College! She actually teaches you instead of giving you textbooks and making you teach yourself. I didn't think I would be interested in Anthropology but she really made it interesting! She was so passionate about the subject and that made it so much better. Highly recommend!

Her classes and tests are very clear, and she go over everything on the test so pay attention during her lectures, and many very details little things may be on the tests as well.

One of the best professor. She taught me things I never knew before and she makes things easy and very simple. She literally gives you the quiz questions in class and tells you exactly what the answer is, all you have to do is memorize it. The test are a bit hard but if you do the study guides you will do very well. 3 quizzes and 4 tests.

Gabriella is a real good choice if you are taking anthro2. A genuine and kind person, show up for lecture and take notes, she gives the answers to quizzes the class before, the powerpoint lectures and study guides are available online. Didn't feel the need to read the textbook that much.

Dont buy the textbook just take notes on the lecture. Studied for 15min for her tests and I got an A on every single one. Its stupid easy middle school level science. No hw which is great. Quizes are a joke cuz she gives you the outline with the answers and all you have to do is write it out in complete sentences. Shes nice and very knowledgeable

There are 3 tests and 3 in class essays (which are easy). To get a good grade in the class, show up to class and write your notes based on the study guides. The tests are not easy but they are all based on the lectures so if you study, you'll be fine. She's really sweet, approachable, and really makes the class interesting.

Very straight forward class. Beware of quizzes though. Make sure you write down everything she says word for word.

Honestly as long as you read the chapters (which aren't long) & take notes on her lecture you'll be fine. Her study guides are pretty on point & she's a sweet lady that can be super helpful if you ask questions. I'm currently taking her for anthro 2 online & it's a pretty easy class.

She is a very sweet lady who is there for her students. Earning an A is tough, but it is possible if you put the work and studying into it. She will help you with any questions you have, I wouldn't say it was an easy class, but I did learn a lot! Just show up to every class and take notes on everything she says! Ask for help if you need it!

Class material isn't easy but Professor Gabriella makes it easier. She knows the content very well & will help you learn it. 3 in class essays for which she gives you the prompt & everything you need to include, 3 tests + non-cumulative final. If you miss one quiz or test, you can make it up. She's very kind! Textbook only for multiple choice E.C.

3 quizzes and 3 tests (non-cumulative final). She basically gives you the prompt and breaks down exactly what she wants on the quizzes via the format she provides. Tests are from lecture. She is clear and concise as to what she expects from students. Just show up and take diligent notes. The class will be a lot easier than you think. Fair grading.

You have to show up to class or you wont pass because whats in lecture will be on the test. Seriously write down everything she says & use the study guide to study for exam. Shes awesome

She is a very passionate person when it comes to Anthropology. Really enjoyed her class, so I decided to take all the courses she teaches.

Very sweet professor, passionate about her subject. Be prepared to study because there is a lot of information in each test, but it is absolutely possible to get a good grade if you take care to learn what she teaches. Take thorough notes, attend every lecture, and you'll find yourself in one of the most enjoyable classes you've ever taken.

Pretty easy class, but you still need to study of course(at least if you want to get an A). You don't need the textbook and I regret renting it. The professor has a good personality which makes it harder to not pay attention during lectures. if you're looking to for a class to fulfill your bio requirement for general ed, I recommend this one

BEST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD. Her lectures are SO clear, understanding, fun and interesting! She's so funny and really wants her students to understand, she's one of those professors that loves when you ask questions! Not to mention you get no homework and don't actually need the textbook. Easy A basically memorize all the notes and you're good!

I took both her ANTH 1 & 2 class and received an A. Gabriella is a super passionate and caring professor. If you don't understand something, she'll stop the whole class just to make sure you understand it. One of my favorite professors on campus. There's no homework but just pay attention to her lectures and study for the quizzes and exams.

She is a sweet and nice teacher. She is always very passionate and her lectures are interesting. Pay attention to her lecture and take notes during classes and study for it, you will get a satisfying grade. Her class might be a little bit difficult for non-native speaker. PPT doesn't contain all the notes!

Gives all the materials needed to succeed in her class. Take the time to actually look at her study guides and you'll get A's. Gave us exactly what she wants on the quiz essays. Interesting subject that is taught clearly and efficiently. I strongly recommend her even though there's many mixed reviews. Just take the time to study and you'll do fine.

She's a really entertaining professor, and she makes the class fun. I was always engaged, and I can still apply what she taught to conversations. Her no technology rule is not a big deal, because it actually helps you pay attention and recall information easier.

The class is straightforward. 3 quizzes, 3 exams (non-cumulative). No HW. How to get an A: show up & take good notes, study & practice before written essay quizzes (layout provided), keep up with each chapter study guides (provided) & use to study for the exams. Make sure you're able to get notes from a classmate if you're absent.

The professor will post all things about the whole semester at first on canvas, she is a little strict. Ask her questions in class or during the break!! cause if you ask her after class by email, she won't tell you the answer, she would say I mentioned it in class. Her lecture is interesting.

I attended the class in 1999 and it changed my life. Professor Gabriella's knowledge and passion for anthropology opened my interest when I pursued my bachelor's degree in Psychology at CSUF. Everything I took was geared toward biology and culture and to this day as well. She expects a lot from her students, and it only helps you to do better.

Attendance is mandatory, but the lectures were usually really interesting and class would go by quickly. There are graded in-class writing assignments (quizzes) but she gives all of the answers and how to format the essay ahead of time. I would take this class again.

I would 100% recommend taking her for ANTH 1. Attendance is mandatory but she makes all material easy to understand in class and the study guides are identical to lectures. Quizzes must be precise but she gives you all of the material needed in class to succeed. The class is content-heavy, but if you show up and take good notes you will do great.

Prof Gabriella is respectful and provide good feeback. She responds to emails on the same day. I recomend this prof.

I was honestly surprised I got a passing grade in this class because I did not try at all. I missed many classes, and did not read or study until an hour before tests. I did participate a lot though, and asked many questions. I definitely would've gotten an A if I applied myself, so read and study ahead of time because there are many tests!
