Reviews of professor Bethany Ashford

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Do not take this class with this professor. Tough grader, discussion post are pass or fail. Biweekly exams are tough and ALWAYS requires written responses. I reached out for clarification twice and she was so rude. Once I had to send her proof of a written response, I sent a photo of my notes. She said she would not grade until I showed proof.

Currently enrolled in her summer class and I actually enjoy it. I understand that she is a tough grader and doesn't allow any outside resources when taking the test. But I actually prefer it that way. She's an awesome professor and would love to be in her class again. Don't be scared of how she grades, she gives you the answers in the lecture. Easy

This professor is very harsh when grading. Would not recommend the class to anyone, would find a different class that is mandatory.

Do not take her for for any reason whatsoever.  She is rude and demanding and only accepts perfectionism in her assignments as shown in her fail/pass discussions. 
Please, take this class with another instructor. 
Late grading, demanding. COS should not her as an instructor, period. She cares less about students' success.

Unorganized, changed assignments every other day. She put little to no effort into the class but expected a lot of effort from students. Assigned random videos, many of the videos were almost two hours long. It was all filler work, did not learn much. She set these excessive word counts for redundant questions just to give us more work

I have taken ANTH011 with other prof and had to drop them for personal reasons so i have seen this course taught a few ways. First Prof Ashford loves the class she teaches and wants to share all the info she can with you. While other classes for the same course would be less work her class taught me a lot and piqued my interest into anthropology.

This class was difficult for me because I had a lot going in my life during this pandemic and this class just kept piling on work, she grades her discussions harshly if you don't understand the material she'll knock you off points. No zoom. No study guide. Makes you keep track of your own grade and constantly changes the points on her assignments.
