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.
honesty professor McClure was the GOAT and she was super nice n funny. just depends on what TA u get cuz sometimes they were tough graders but McClure is awesome
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.
loved taking this course with Dr McClure. she's funny, knows her stuff, helpful if you need it, and super approachable. 10/10 recommend!
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.
Love love lovedddd this class thanks to Dr. McClure. She is super knowledgeable not only in her specific profession but in other areas as well. She didn't have a very personal attachment to students but her lectures were very interesting and easy to understand. Essay topics were very reasonable and graded fairly by the TA's.
Interesting lectures that aren't mandatory. 3 essays throughout the quarter that can be written even if you miss every class. Bunch of assigned reading that wasn't super necessary except in section when participation mattered.
The professor is very organized in lectures and on the gauchospace site. I liked the combination of videos and articles for weekly homework and the packpack discussion posts were straightforward and simple. Despite there being quite a few essays during the quarter, I appreciated that she gave out the prompts well in advance of the due date.
Prof McClure has some really awesome lectures. Attendance isn't mandatory, but going to them is always a fun time because of how passionate she is about her subject. Everything is posted online as well. 3 papers and a project plus section writing assignments, but they weren't super difficult. Get ahead on papers and you'll have a good time!
Professor McClure is so kind and so passionate about Archaeology and Anthropology, making her lectures very interesting and the course pretty interesting as well. She has a pretty relaxed work load and schedule of essays, with no exams and classes canceled on most Fridays. Grading isn't very harsh and the class is very manageable.
Professor McClure is passionate about the subject and makes lectures as interesting as she can (at least I think so.) The class requires a LOT of writing (weekly writing assignments and 3 essays) and there is a lot of reading material to cover.
I really liked professor McClure. I took the class ANTH 3 as a GE and have no regrets. Homework was light by just needing to do weekly packbacks and readings (not mandatory to read). Lots of writing. You write 2 essays instead of midterms, and 1 project in the middle of the quarter. McClure is really nice and seems that she loved what she teaches.
Sarah McClure is a great professor, in any of her classes! She is very kind and funny, and will help you individually to get the material if you need it. The class is an easy pass so long as you're willing to show up and study the material, graded on participation, 4 quizzes (lowest dropped), a midterm, and a final project.
Took Anth 3. Her lectures were engaging and never boring. She gives a do-able amount of homework each week. Pay attention in lectures and you'll get an A. Readings aren't necessary but they are very helpful and relate to class and are never too long. Most exams are essays with clear instructions and grading rubric. Amazing professor.
I took Advanced Zooarchaeology with her (ANTH-197EW) and loved it! She is very helpful and makes class very enjoyable. It was a very hands-on course and it was the first course I took where I felt like I was truly applying what I was learning.
Professor McClure is so down to earth. Her class is really interesting and she is incredibly fair and sets the stage for her students to be successful.
I absolutely adore Professor McClure. She’s really passionate about what she teaches and cares about her students. She wants you to succeed!! She’s very lenient in terms of extensions and honestly just wants you to talk to her to see how she can help. It meant so much more to me than she could imagine, I’m definitely taking her class again.
ive had prof mcclure for both anth162 (food prehistory) and anth197xy (european prehistory). shes very nice and makes interesting lectures! the grading is easy (especially the essay) and theres very little reading. would recommend
This class and Sarah are amazing!! Theres very little reading and she doesnt take attendance, but most of the material is taught in lecture so go to class! Really interesting info and Sarah brings in snacks all the time. I got an A and enjoyed myself so much. Take this course!!!
