Quarter: Spring 2023
Grade: I
June 7, 2023

Mrs Cartmill is extremely boring and hard to learn from. She thinks she is very funny and laughs at all her "jokes", but she just is not. Overall, I am not interested in anthropology so I might be biased but this class is not interesting and has a heavy workload. The midterm is hard, I'm taking the final in a week so I will let you guys know. She also gets very mad if you don’t call her Dr. Would not recommend, not an easy GE.

not the easiest class but bearable if you put some effort in. lectures are hard to get through but worth going to most of the time. READ THE TEXTBOOK she gets pretty much all her information from the textbook. it was clear the entire quarter professor cartmill didn't super care about the class and the TAs kept complaining how they hadn't heard from her in weeks. there's a mini fieldwork project you have to do that is kinda a pain in the ass but as long as you follow the template you can get an A. if you put in a little effort its a solid A- but you can get an A if you study and do all the extra credit opportunities.

This was one of the easiest lower divs I've taken here. Dr Cartmill is kind and I found the content in the class to be interesting - it's a mixture between linguistics and anthropology, and as someone who has never taken either subject I thought this was a good intro to both.
The class is divided between section participation, midterm, final, and two parts of a final paper, which is explained in section. Lectures are podcasted and slides are posted, which was great because I stopped going to class the second half of the quarter and caught up on everything during finals week. The textbook is not needed to do well in the class but it does have some useful info for cramming. Midterm and final were doable with a couple of cram sessions. Dr. Cartmill is kind, and her study sessions/office hours are useful. She also creates a study guide for both the midterm and final that covers everything on the exams. Definitely recommend for GE/COMM requirements!

This class wasn't too bad but was a the concepts were a bit confusing at times. There were a couple homework assignments that took some time and an easy midterm and final. Overall a bit boring but decently easy.
