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.

This class was super easy and the professor is so sweet. I would recommend taking her course because homework is light and no exams, just a presentation and short final paper. She accepts late work and all you really have to do to get an A is not miss too many assignments. Assignment criteria is not always clear, but require minimal effort for an A

Sweetest lady ever. Struggled with gauchospace but not her fault!! Was very understanding and helpful when needed, wanted the best for all her students!

Prof Saldivar is really sweet and the material she assigns is pretty good (movies, books, news articles). She was a ridiculously easy grader who gave A's as long as you tried/showed thought. That said, the course was taught on zoom and she is NOT very tech savvy. Misposted assignments, lack of response to emails, out of date rubrics. Not amazing.

This professor doesn't really know how to use GauchoSpace and has not returned any student emails (I know because someone made a GroupMe for the class). She's very unclear in instructions and does not explain grading criteria. Due to the pandemic, I had to withdraw from this class. Class was asynch

Very helpful professor. Willing to go above and beyond for students. You have to try to fail her class but I learned more in this class than a lot of other classes. Recommend a class with her.

Class I took isn't listed (Activist Anthropology) beware: For SJW's only. Entire class is based off of strong subjective opinions. Take the course if you'd like to visit crazy town.

I believe this was Professor Saldivar's first quarter at UCSB but she was great! The grade was based on weekly journals (300 words) based on the weekly readings, a final essay (out of class), and a presentation on one of the readings. She's an easy grader and cares a lot about the topics she teaches. She loves having conversations with students.

She's really like the most zen anthro professor ever. We used to meditate every 20ish minutes. She was super lax and let us take out own pace when it came to working on projects, and never gave strict deadlines. Only downfall is she's difficult to reach outside of class and does not give much feedback. But her style is unique and amazing.

Fairly easy class. Each Student needs to present twice(20% of class). Two-Three reading notes per week(40% of class) and one final project (40% of class). Its a sub feminist class with a big focus in women. The professor is very helpful and wants you to do well in class.
