Reviews of professor Laura Bidner

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Bidner was present in the class via announcements and reminders. All assignments were graded by CAs. It takes at least a week on average to receive any kind of feedback, which I found unfair and frustrating. The CA that I was assigned to graded harshly and was unreasonably biased. This class has 2 projects, and typical weekly busy work.

I absolutely loved Prof Bidner. I went into 'disease and evolution' so freaked out that it would be a hard class, but excelled within the course due to her easy to digest curriculum. All lectures/readings were relevant and course content was complex but broken down so it was easy to understand. I would love to take more classes with Bidner.

The class was pretty easy overall, there were no tests just a quiz at the end of each unit which were multiple choice and 20 questions. Although the amount of reading, lectures and videos you had to go over was a lot in just one week. 2 major assignments which are easy. The professor was not bad at all compared to some, just the work sucked.

Professor Bidner is amazing, you can tell she really cares about the subject of cultural anthropology. The course is broken down into subjects, and while there is a large amount of reading and lectures, they are all very interesting and understandable. I really like how she utilizes the final module to expand on how you can use anthropology.

Every week is just readings, a discussion post of no more than 6 sentences (and 2 replies to classmates), and a 10 question quiz. Content was interesting. I actually learned something for once :D

I really enjoyed this class, I found the material to be really interesting and fascinating but beware, the lectures can drag on at times. I found the quizzes to be really easy and the homework was sometimes a bit challenging but overall I found it to be an easy A.

This class would have been fun and interesting if it were not for the 40 plus pages you have to read a week, plus the video. The text book is online. On top of that there were separate articles you had to read so you never know what's going to be on tests.

This class was very interesting, but read up on it before you sign up. There were weekly quizzes, 1 discussion board with 2 responses, and one term paper. If you actually watch the lectures and read the material it can be time-consuming, but they were interesting to me and very helpful for the assignments. The TAs took longer than a week to grade

This class was amazing, I would take it again. Don't buy any textbooks (if there are any) and it is an easy A and cool topic.
