Spring 2024 - took this as a ge with no background in anthro which i would not recommend. there is so much nitty gritty information to memorize like specific primates, fossils, etc. i never attended lecture, only watched recordings because she refuses to post the slides before class which is super annoying as someone who takes notes by annotating over the slides (I actually recommend doing this though because there is so much information that if you try to take notes of everything on the slides + whatever she is saying during lecture, you will prob struggle to keep up). she also requires you pay for inquizitive (an online textbook) to do homework. for the midterm she gave us a study guide which was very helpful and i just made a quizlet to study, however she didn't have a study guide for the final (not cumulative) which was annoying but i still just made a quizlet. i didn't read the textbook or study the inquizitives and i still did well on the midterm and final, just make sure you watch the lectures even if on 2x speed because you will get a better idea of the main concepts that will appear on the tests.

Spring 2021 - Loved this class!!! The lectures were amazing!! There was definitely a lot of material being covered in each lecture, so note-taking wise there was a lot to write down! Here is a breakdown of the class: 10 Weekly Quizzes: 5 points each Read the Syllabus: 1 point Intro Video: 3 points Genetics Interview Project: 20 points Reproduction Interview Project: 20 points Final Paper: 20 points Total: 114 points The Interview Projects I found to be fun and honestly I learned so much about the people I chose to interview. Don't worry they weren't super crazy time consuming, they basically were you talking about the important points of your interview and you tying those points to the lecture material. The final paper was based on a topic of your choice! Overall, the weekly quizzes were super easy and you didn't really need to do the readings! Definitely recommend this class!
