this was the easiest class i have ever taken!! you learn so many interesting things and also get to interact/ meet so many new people since she pushes you to talk to someone new every week. everything was so straightforward and she is a very nice grader!
Professor Saldivar is a very wise woman. While I did find myself getting bored often (she would have students come up and present for over half the almost 3-hour class), when she did get up and speak, she had very quality input. Assignments were easy, you just had to DO them and the readings. Easy work, but attendance was mandatory!
great professor and class
Professor showed up 15 minutes late to class, took out an orange ball and had us toss it around the room and introduce ourselves. The class was hectic. She said that her class on research was all about multitasking. Even though multitasking as a concept has been disproven by research. Her teaching style was too unstructured for me, personally.
Dr. Saldivar is an amazing professor. I have taken a few of her anthropology courses. She is very knowledgable and inspiring. She is one of the best and kindest professors at UCSB. I highly recommend taking her courses. They are very interesting and really open up your perspective on various topics from pedagogy to cultural anthropology topics.
