CollegeBoddy is such an amazing professor who is knowledgeable and passionate about the stuff she teaches. This course is so interesting and I honestly wish it was longer. Lecture is optional but I always went because I loved the content. Online midterm and final + occasional hws. No textbook, everything is based off of articles and research papers.
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.
Great prof! If you are anth or bio, I recommend taking. She is so knowledgeable and kind to students. Format of the class makes it easy to succeed, and her lectures prepare you well for HW and online exams. Wish she taught more classes!
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.
