An introductory course in human evolutionary biology. Natural selection and its genetic basis are used to highlight a variety of human traits. The fossil record is addressed, but the course takes more of an "adaptationist" than a paleontological perspective.

Really easy, the exams were take-home so as long as you take notes, go to section, and do your homework you'll be fine.

Both the midterm and final were online which was a lifesaver. The class is based on the slideshows and the book. However, the homework grades depend on which TA you get. Your grade is based on 4 parts: Section attendance, homework, midterm, and final. Wasn't too hard of a class, and the professor is nice.

Overall, she was kind of mid. All she did was read from the slides in lecture and those are posted online. Class was super easy, I did not try at all this was a backburner kind of class. The only hard part was the homework which was often worded horribly and the grading was so inconsistent and solely based on how nice your TA was feeling that week

Professor Boddy is an awesome professor who cares a lot about what she's teaching! The class itself isn't necessarily easy nor hard, but your grade seriously depends on your TA and how picky they are when it comes to grading the homework. Lots of notes from the lecture and readings but the midterm and final being online is insanely clutch.

Wonderful class and Prof. Boddy is amazing and clearly passionate. She emphasizes important things perfectly and makes it all so fun. Test/homework questions are phrased confusingly but once u get used to it it gets better. Prof Boddy is the greatest and I'm totally taking another of her classes when I can :)

Dr. Boddy was a very passionate and very very interesting lecturer. Sections are mandatory with one free skip and 5 total homework assignments. Two tests both online (midterm and final), both open note. She loves her research and does great to incorporate it in. Definitely plan on taking more of her classes.
