Professor Pacheco is very knowledgeable, and I did learn a lot from her Anth 135. However, her feedback is unnecessarily harsh and she does not provide examples of how her students could improve. Some feedback seems opinion based instead of objective. Does not give clear criteria for projects. Fair grades but extremely harsh criticism!

This class may seem easy, however the grading criteria for the projects are ambiguous and ask for unnecessarily hard connections between class material. Also, participation is heavily graded yet you need to be constantly talking in order to get full points, and I mean CONSTANTLY. Easy enough if you do all the projects and participate.

brofr dont do it it seems easy but she just crashed out because nobody did the readings lmao and said everyone in the class is losing points

Super kind prof!! It was my first time taking a course like this (with many readings and very cultural anthropology based) so I was nervous but she was so kind, thoughtful, and easy to talk too. I enjoyed the final paper and felt that it was not a hard class overall.

She's honestly a great professor. Just be mindful that she deducts points from your attendance grade if you're late to class! Your grade is based on group presentations, and they're on class readings. Overall a super caring professor who wants to hear your opinion on class readings!

I absolutely despise group projects/ presentations but I LOVE this professor. Honestly, the projects aren't too bad if you read the material and communicate with partners. This class is graded on two creative assignments, a group presentation, group midterm, and group final. This class was really fun and I found myself not minding the group part.
