Reviews of professor Clara Scarry

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The modules were due every Wednesday by midnight - a quiz and weekly activity. Depending on the topic, there were 2 to 10+ video lectures, which makes the modules 1-2 hours long. I highly suggest watching them at 1.25x or 1.5x speed to get through them faster. There was lots of reading. Her cats make appearances in some videos, which was cute.

This was a really challenging class to complete, and I wouldn't suggest it for a minor course because it requires a strong memory and extensive background knowledge of anthropology. She also takes a long to mark assignments and responds slowly to emails. When it came to her office hours, I once had to wait two hours for her to join a Zoom meeting.

I look this course in the summer to fulfill my UD (Upper Division) B5 requirement, it was very tough! She's a tough grader and will leave you lot's of comments after submitting an assignment. I've taken two primates courses in college and never had a challenging time. Knowing what I know now I would've selected a different course!

I took this as a GE class and Dr. Scarry was really cool. The exams are based on lectures, which are basically a few videos that are 10 to 20 minutes long. The class isn't really hard as long as you watch the videos, but she's really nice and is there to help if you need it. I'm not an anthro major but her class was great!

Will have lot of fun in any class of her classes. She will take mental health and any family/medical emergencies into account and will not sweat about a new deadline. Homework is minimal, readings are not bad you will get a lot of basic concepts by just skimming through the readings. Class is more on understanding not memorizing.

This class was great! The class is straightforward, watch the lecture videos and take quizzes and a few exams. There are practice quizzes and activities to boost your grade if you're not a great test-taker, and the material is really interesting.

This class was pretty easy, as long as you pay attention in the lectures and take the quizzes you'll be fine. Dr. Scarry is really cool and actually cares about students and their mental health! I'm not an Anthro major but this course was really interesting.

Dr. Scarry is amazing! This class made me decide I want to go to Grad school. Honestly, she makes the material so exciting and easy to digest. No memorization, just as long as you can explain the big picture topics you're good. No exams or quizzes, we do topic summaries (short essays), group activities, and a final project. Such a fun experience!
