Curran is wonderful. She is super nerdy and brings it into her lectures, relating human evolution to Star Trek every chance she gets. She tries to relate concepts to pop culture and tailor her references to her students' interests. Overall, she is engaging and energetic, and is always willing to help.

Awful professor for this course. She spoke to us as if we all had the same level of education in the field as anthropology as she, even though this was my first course I've ever taken in the antrho field. She explains nothing, midterms are lengthy and she only gives a list of about 150 terms which practically none of which were discussed in class.

She's a fantastic professor, very knowledgeable of Anthropology and paleontology. Just be aware that she expects you to be able to do work. If you can't write a decent paper or form a cogent argument, you won't do well. She regards her students work with the same critical eye that she uses for peer review. Also, she's at Ohio University now.

I loved her class! I took this class at Ohio University, and I would definitely recommend her as a prof. She's very helpful, very clear, and gives good feedback on journals and exams. She gave me an interest in Biological Anthropology. Really an awesome prof!

Nerdy but nice. I did not read any of the required books or articles, but I did show up to lecture everyday. Passed with a B. Pleasant experience overall. I found her quite entertaining.

Interesting class. Awesome professor if you sit during lecture, take good notes you're set! If you're willing to put in the effort you'll get a good grade. She's a great teacher:)
