Dr. Smith treats her students as though they are in elementary school, by asking incredibly simple questions multiple times in lecture then waiting through extended periods of silence for answers. This awkward tactic begins to grate against your nerves by 2nd week and will fully drive you towards insanity by 10th week. Furthermore, she is the most unyielding, unflexible professor I have ever had at UCLA, as she refuses to consider earnest personal issues that hinder academic performance. Take her class only if you have the ability to space out for extended periods of time (to avoid the annoyance of the question-silence periods) and plan to never speak with her.

This is hardly a bitter post- my grade in the class was an A+- but rather an honest summary of my Anthropology 8 experience. I, an Anthropology major, refuse to take a class with Dr. Smith again.
