ANTH129 . Pacheco R 10 Months Ago

Super kind prof!! It was my first time taking a course like this (with many readings and very cultural anthropology based) so I was nervous but she was so kind, thoughtful, and easy to talk too. I enjoyed the final paper and felt that it was not a hard class overall.

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

Professor Pacheco is very knowledgeable, and I did learn a lot from her Anth 135. However, her feedback is unnecessarily harsh and she does not provide examples of how her students could improve. Some feedback seems opinion based instead of objective. Does not give clear criteria for projects. Fair grades but extremely harsh criticism!

This class may seem easy, however the grading criteria for the projects are ambiguous and ask for unnecessarily hard connections between class material. Also, participation is heavily graded yet you need to be constantly talking in order to get full points, and I mean CONSTANTLY. Easy enough if you do all the projects and participate.

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!
