Overall, this prof is alright. She did spend a good deal of time time touting her political views, but her lectures were mildly interesting. The TA's grade everything, so getting a good one is more important than the professor. Our midterm had questions that were given to us in advance, and our final was take-home essays. Aside from that, we had two really short, really easy papers. Aside from that, we read a few ethnographies and the textbook was pretty much only used for definitions. I'd recommend this class if you're looking for an easy grade, but if you're serious about the subject material, this might not be the best class to give you an overview.
