Reviews of professor Cristina Moya

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Exams are very hard and the content in the exam was not close to whatever was taught, or in the textbook. She also did not provide any practice papers. Lot of people in the class did not know how to study for the exams and simply guessed the answers.

I have such mixed feelings about this professor and ANT128a. Sometimes it was fun and she was really nice. However, it is one of the most stressful classes I've taken. There are probably too many/too difficult assignments and you never know what kind of grade you'll get. BEWARE OF THE GROUP ASSIGNMENT! I wouldn't risk taking Prof. Moya again :(

I regret taking this class for my writing requirement. She knows her stuff, but her lectures were not helpful and boring even though there were participation points for them. Take the class if you are actually interested in evolutionary concepts or else it will be a dreadful class.

The professor has mandatory lectures, but the lectures are little to no help. Slides lack information and the midterms have little to do with the information taught in class. Be ready for mandatory lectures through Kahoot, midterms that are terribly hard, and 2 papers with little relation to the class.

Although Prof. Moya wasn't a bad professor, there were just way too many "big" words used that, as a first-year, I could not comprehend. ANT27, when I took it in winter quarter, contained a lot of biology with genetic vocab. The lectures were pretty boring, and there was way too much reading; it felt like busy work.

Not great lectures (and they're 2 hrs long). Condescending. Attendance is part of grade. Required to read textbook (which equally wasn't very good at explaining anything). Just do assignments on time and it's an easy A, but extremely boring and feels like a waste of time.

Professor Moya starts of the course by saying that she has pushed the midterm to week 8 in order to make it less stressful for the students but it is arguably more stressful since there is so much material covered and makes no effort to at least provide a study guide. Her assignments are no more than 20% but takes off point for everything/anything.
