Reviews of professor Denise Nuttall

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Nuttall is very passionate about anthropology and encourages students to ask questions about the material in class. Sometimes she goes off on a tangent while giving lectures, but she always brings it back around to the main point. Great prof and great class.

Took intro to anthropology online, this was my first time taking a class totally online and I can its not for me. I found it difficult to go through all her posted lectures, and videos, voice notes and the chapters that needed to be read. I think anyone wanting to take her class should do so in fall and in person.

Dr Nuttall is a standard anth prof, and that's not a compliment. She should have retired a while ago. Really bad with technology, especially with online classes going on. Boring and off topic lectures. Overly time consuming projects with little value, like her kinship assignment which is more of a graphic design class than anth; disappointing.

Very understanding prof and will actually take the time to find solutions with you if you're having issues. Class is easy to follow and straight forward, but I just wished the BB layout for her class was easier to navigate. Lectures are audio files that I wished was in the PP slide instead. Overall, she's quite passionate and supportive.

Easy-going and fun prof. Very passionate and knowledgeable. Her lectures are a little tiring as she does not have slides so you have to write notes as she says them (but she also specifies what things are most important). Fair marker, assignments not very challenging. exams chill even without doing assigned readings did well on them with the notes.

Really enjoyed the class with Dr. Nuttall. There was a lot of material to learn which meant lots of reading. Dr. Nuttall is very funny and caring and is so helpful and accessible outside of class. She is very passionate about anthropology which was inspirational for me. Highly recommended.

Denise is a very hilarious & kind woman. She rambles A LOT during the lectures! Assignments were straightforward. She gives study guides for the exams. She's a bit of a tough marker for the paper so get help from her. She doesn't use slides during lectures so you have to take notes from what she's saying. Make a friend to get notes from them too!

In-person lectures are stressful. Prof speaks 20 sentences in 2 seconds, & you have to type/write notes quickly, she doesn't post them. Exams are slightly hard. Put in the hard work. Use office hours to discuss exams, assignments, grades! Assignment given was easy though. She is nice but you have to put in a lot of effort, it's overwhelming.
