I took her class at Ventura College and I think I have learned more in her class than most of the classes I have took. The material is tough but for a first-time Anthropology class, it is fascinating and really interesting! She clearly loves teaching and knows a lot!

This class was amazing and inspiring. It opened up a whole new world for me. Great lectures, great films, interesting readings. I highly recommend it. Go through the study questions and you will have no problem on the exams. My favorite class.

If you want to know about different cultures, take this class. Great lectures, films, interesting readings. Written exams are taken straight from study questions. Easy if you take notes in class and go through the questions each week. DO NOT attempt to cram. You can tell that she is very knowledgeable, loves teaching and cares about students.

I loved this class. Taber is a fantastic professor, very knowledgeable, and really cares about students. Her lectures are amazing and give you so much to talk about. 3 exams and a fun project. Just do the study questions and get help when needed and you will have no problem getting an A. But be aware that she expects you do the work.

Worst professor ever! DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. She reads off of a piece of paper everyday, super rude when you ask a question. She comes in 30 minuets early on test days and if you ask her a question off the study guide she will yell at you and make you feel like crap. She is really hard to follow and doesn't help me hold interest in this subject.

Incredible and inspiring professor. I loved her class. Not a lot of homework but there are optional extra credit essays which were worth the effort. Study and pay attention to lectures and film and you will get a lot from this class.

This class was amazing. Summer session is intense, especially with a lot of reading. But readings are interesting, and Taber is a wonderful teacher! Great lectures, interesting films. She knows the subject well, and gets students involved. I came away with a with a whole new perspective on gender. I would take anything this professor teaches.

Great teacher! loves what she does and has a real passion for it. Class is easy if you do everything she asks at the beginning. I am not usually a good student but if you work hard and go to every lecture with notes ready, you are sure to pass. If you decide to skip classes, well good luck.

I showed up for class during the first 2 moths and I thought that I was ready for the fist exam... boy was I wrong. I realized that a lot of the questions from the study guide was on the test so I thought If she's not taking attendance why bother showing up to class, I'll just do the study guides. DON'T DO THAT! Show up for class and read the book.

Professor Taber is amazing. I learned so much in class, everything I learned I will apply it to my own world views. This course does require work so I recommend that people pay attention to the lectures, print the slides (which are the PowerPoint notes) and have a study buddy. She is kind, insightful and a great conversationalist.

Dr. Taber is a great professor. She expects you to be professional, she's very passionate, and I found the subject matter interesting. Definitely not an easy A; there's an ethnography and four exams, I think. As long as you read, pay attention, and do the study questions, you'll be fine.

Great teacher. Bases her exams directly from the study questions so do the study questions and you should be fine for the exams. Lots of the questions come from the lectures and powerpoints so you need to be in class a lot to keep up with the work.
