Reviews of professor Tracie Mayfield

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Tracie Mayfield is obviously passionate about what she teaches, but she often assigns too much reading every week and expects you to remember tiny details when it comes to the midterm and the final. I enjoyed the subject of the class but it was difficult to keep up. The lectures were also boring and so was the reading.

Prof Mayfield was amazing. She is so kind, funny, caring, and informative. The class teaches you how to manage your time with the flipped classroom model, but it's manageable once you get a schedule going for yourself. Once a week, mandatory discussions, with the rest being readings and recordings. Definitely easy, but take it for Prof Mayfield!

Wonderful teacher with tons of accomplishments under her belt. Tons of opportunities for extra credit and is lenient. Pretty light course load, at least when online.

Literally the nicest human I've ever met. She led my ANTH 201 discussion section, and she was always willing to help us with our essays and other questions. She cares a lot about her students. She prepared us SO WELL for the exams (which are online & open-note). She constantly sends out reminders to help students stay organized and updated.

Professor Mayfield is a saint. By far the best professor I've had at USC. Super understanding and flexible with her students but also really knowledgable about the class topics. Taking her class really eased my schedule and allowed me to not get overwhelmed by my others. If you get the chance TAKE ONE OF HER CLASSES.

So grateful I took this class for my GE! Best choice I could've made. Just show up to lab sections and you'll be fine. Professor Mayfield is so caring and attentive to her students, the nicest and most knowledgeable teacher I've had this year. She makes tough concepts easy. Take her!!

To be honest, I was not interested in historical archeology, which is the main content taught. The names of the historical sites are hard to memorize, which could be confusing. I don't think I do really well but Mayfield is really nice providing enough chances for you to pass, or to get an A. Not hard to archieve good grades if that's your goal.
