This is a challenging course and a requirement for Anthro majors, so it has to be taken. My only true complaint is that the course only gives three credits, but you will do the work of a five-credit course.

The course content is not difficult, but the surrounding assignments and timed trick quizzes can be. The content is interesting and potentially useful.

Professor Serrano is very understanding, she did not create the course and was most likely not allowed to alter it.

If you have to take this course, pair it with an easy course(s), so much of your time will go toward this course.

I hated this course; it is an insane amount of work for a 2000 level. I took a 5 credit during the same semester that had less work.

More than half of grade is quizzes (that are worded horribly and pull from like 10 youtube videos, 5 readings, and 3-5 lectures), theres a map and a timeline project where you have to add 3 dates/sites to each every week (which takes a few hours because of all the requirements), theres lengthy labs and discussions too. the information is interesting, but theres way to much of it.

the professor was fine; it was online so they didnt add or subtract anything from the class. susan gillespie made the course.

I wouldn't take this course, unless you need to for requirment. otherwise there are far easier 2000 levels (honestly easier 4000s half the time) the was easily top 3 worst classes ive taken. if u do have to take it: stay up to date on projects and lectures. download transciprts for lectures and merge in a pdf to search during quizzes. theres a lecture on how to study for quizzes (its not helpful: bascially says if you cant do it then see uf couseling) there are 2 practice quizzes for each module but they do not help at all and are just more confusing because of the way the t/f are written (it'll be a paragraph thats all true and then the last 2 words make it false, etc.). also give yourself a few days for lecture, readings, videos otherwise you wont be able to remember any in them. and the...read more
