I LOVED this class. This class was really engaging and I honestly learned so much. The class is graded primarily on group projects but it includes some creative projects too. She helped me get over my fear of public speaking because of how supportive she was. She really cares about her students. If I could take another class from her I would.

Professor Pacheco really cares about her students and is conscious about the current issues and discourses in the field of anthropology. She helped to restore my faith in the anth department and she is humble in receiving feedback from students about the quality of the content we're learning.

She's honestly a great professor. Just be mindful that she deducts points from your attendance grade if you're late to class! Your grade is based on group presentations, and they're on class readings. Overall a super caring professor who wants to hear your opinion on class readings!

I absolutely despise group projects/ presentations but I LOVE this professor. Honestly, the projects aren't too bad if you read the material and communicate with partners. This class is graded on two creative assignments, a group presentation, group midterm, and group final. This class was really fun and I found myself not minding the group part.

This was Professor Pacheco's first time teaching this course, it had its ups and downs. She gives great feedback and is super nice. However, I found the final project extremely difficult. The final assignment is a short ethnography but it can only be three pages. It's extremely difficult to do so. Overall I enjoyed the class though
