Boddy is such an amazing professor who is knowledgeable and passionate about the stuff she teaches. This course is so interesting and I honestly wish it was longer. Lecture is optional but I always went because I loved the content. Online midterm and final + occasional hws. No textbook, everything is based off of articles and research papers.

Really easy, the exams were take-home so as long as you take notes, go to section, and do your homework you'll be fine.

Great prof! If you are anth or bio, I recommend taking. She is so knowledgeable and kind to students. Format of the class makes it easy to succeed, and her lectures prepare you well for HW and online exams. Wish she taught more classes!

Both the midterm and final were online which was a lifesaver. The class is based on the slideshows and the book. However, the homework grades depend on which TA you get. Your grade is based on 4 parts: Section attendance, homework, midterm, and final. Wasn't too hard of a class, and the professor is nice.

Overall, she was kind of mid. All she did was read from the slides in lecture and those are posted online. Class was super easy, I did not try at all this was a backburner kind of class. The only hard part was the homework which was often worded horribly and the grading was so inconsistent and solely based on how nice your TA was feeling that week

Professor Boddy is an awesome professor who cares a lot about what she's teaching! The class itself isn't necessarily easy nor hard, but your grade seriously depends on your TA and how picky they are when it comes to grading the homework. Lots of notes from the lecture and readings but the midterm and final being online is insanely clutch.

Wonderful class and Prof. Boddy is amazing and clearly passionate. She emphasizes important things perfectly and makes it all so fun. Test/homework questions are phrased confusingly but once u get used to it it gets better. Prof Boddy is the greatest and I'm totally taking another of her classes when I can :)

Dr. Boddy was a very passionate and very very interesting lecturer. Sections are mandatory with one free skip and 5 total homework assignments. Two tests both online (midterm and final), both open note. She loves her research and does great to incorporate it in. Definitely plan on taking more of her classes.

Truly one of the best classes I've taken! Grade is 4 hmks due throughout the quarter (10% each). Midterm (25%) was online, open note, unlimited time. Weekly reading quizzes 10%, lowest 2 scores dropped. Final (25%) was unessay but you can do a traditional essay too. Dr. Boddy really provides the space to take away what you want from the course!

She is a great lecturer because she is passionate about her work. Very safe environment for questions during lectures. Pace is great and she makes sure to word concepts and ideas in multiple ways ensuring that students can grasp the material in its entirety. Homework assignments and quizzes are all relevant to course content. Not much busy work.

Dr. Boddy is AWESOME!! She is passionate about her research and does well incorperating it into the lectures. She makes it interesting and engaging. Few hw assignments, easy weekly reading quizzes help you stay caught up with reading, and the final was an unessay which was basically a fun, creative project! If you have a chance, take her class!!!

Dr. Boddy is awesome! Everyone should take her classes! she is so passionate about teaching.
