Honestly such a great professor. You can really tell she is passionate and cares. I loved this class and she did an amazing job! Definitely would take her again.

Your grade is highly dependent on your TA. My TA was an extremely harsh grader, but I was able to still get an A. Attend every section since it's a huge chunk of your grade.

She seems like she really knows what she's doing. The only reason I wouldn't take again is because I'm not all too fascinated by archaeology, but if you are looking for a professor who deeply cares about what they're teaching she is the professor for you. Definitely take her courses if you enjoy archaeology.

Clearly very passionate. Easy GE if you don't mind writing a lot but obviously it's for writing credit. Your grades depend more on your TAs than her. The quizzes are online open note and pretty much word for word, same with the final.

High-participation class, and not necessarily an easy GE depending on the TA you get as they can grade papers pretty harshly. Quizzes are mostly word-for-word on lecture content, and they're open-note. No midterm, but 3 papers which require research outside of class. Online open-note final. Professor is super passionate and considerate.

Very nice and great lecturer. I genuinely enjoyed having her. 3 quizzes heavily based on weekly reading/videos. 2 midterm essays 1000+ words each (online). Final was composed of 3 shorter essays (online). Do the readings and attend lecture and section and you will do fine.

Sarah's super sweet and has great energy during class, you can tell she's passionate about what she teaches!! The grade was made up of a midterm (35%), final (35%), a short written assignment (15%) and a timeline (15%). The exams are pretty easy if you take good notes and the assignments aren't bad at all!! Would definitely take her again.

Dr. McClure is genuinely one of the best people I've had the pleasure of learning from. I had her for ANTH 3 my first quarter in college and loved her enough to want to take her ANTH 167. She absolutely has never let me down; she's very sweet, passionate, approachable, and is honestly everything I could ask for in a professor. Take her classes!!

AMAZING! Prof McClure really wants the best for her students and is very caring and funny. since its zooarch, memorization is super key to passing. lectures are very informative and interesting. If you can get in I definitely recommend.

Super nice professor who was very passionate about her subject. Only 3 essays all quarter, two being research-based and a very easy final essay, basically a reflection of the course. Readings were not necessary but nevertheless intriguing, and the weekly homework takes 20 minutes. Take this GE.
