ANTH193 . Vanderwarker 6 Months Ago

This class is both easy and useful. As long as you do the assignments you get the credit. She gives you incredibly valuable information and feedback and is super accessible. Takes time to truly get to know each student and personally looks over and grades all of the word she assigns. If you have the opportunity - take her class!

Professor V was one of the best I've come across at UCSB. She is so helpful, always emails back quickly - her lectures are extremely interesting and she's very fair and clear about her grading criteria. Class is graded based on one midterm, a final, and a paper. Do the work to study for the midterm and final and take good notes and you'll do well.

I had Prof V for Grad School/Job Prep in the spring of 2024 and honestly the class could not have been more useful OR more easy to pass. As long as you do the work- which you will be thanking yourself in the future for doing- you will pass. She really wants students to have a realistic and accurate perception of their options in the future.

ANTH184 . Vanderwarker 2 Years Ago

I TOOK ANTH-182 BUT IT WASN'T AN OPTION. We were online way longer than we were supposed to be which screwed up the quarter and isn't her fault but this class was hard. Not given much instruction on stats programs, assignments have nothing to do with lectures or final. Allows you to fix old assignments though. She's nice but can be abrasive!

Professor Vanderwaker was really sweet and genuinely wants to help her students find their path. This class was absurdly easy and I would definitely recommend it. Put in thought and turn stuff in on time to get an easy A. Peer group meetings were annoying but easy. Attendance not mandatory or necessary to get an A. Final was a short mock interview.

A caring professor . The structure of online course is interesting since half of the lectures are from guest speakers. She clarifies things pretty well with coherent examples. Tests are based on explaining the concepts, pay attention to the lectures, and make notes and study guide in advance. Also a research paper to reflect on what you learnt
