This class was a breath of fresh air! It was so nice to be taught by someone who is passionate about the material and truly cares about her students. I actually looked forward to coming to her class, which NEVER happens in my other classes. There was a lot of reading, but the TAKE-HOME papers were based on all of it, so it was worth the time. Prof. Mahon is incredibly approachable and leads great discussions in class instead of just lecturing. I would recommend her to anyone, even if you're not an anthro major (which i'm not) because you will learn things about life, not just what is in the textbooks.

If you come to class on time, participate in class discussions, and do the assigned work you are garanteed an A. Having a clear thesis and supported argument on your papers is key. This may sound like a lot, so I suggest only taking this class if you are interested in the subject matter.
