Reviews of professor Larisa Kurtovic

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Average first year class, there's about two readings per week and the exams are about the readings only. She's accessible outside of lectures and responds to emails pretty quickly. First professor I've had that actually keeps attendance, so beware of skipping class.

Prof. Kurtovic (who wishes not to be addressed by their first name!) is an amazing lecturer. Her care in the ethnography assignment really helps you stay on track. If you skip this class, you will fail as attendance is marked and 3 absences is an auto fail. Is enthusiastic about anthropology and always shows how you can attend events on campus :)

This was my first ever class with professor Kurtovic and she was absolutely fantastic. She is so passionate about what she teaches, and you can tell. What's great is that professor Kurtovic can SHARE that passion with her students. It makes the material very interesting and fun to learn. If I could, I would definitely take another class with her!!

This prof is a true gem protect her at all cost. But keep in mind not to fall behind the readings and class material
She's very kind and caring. During this semester I had some personal challenges and I explained my situation to her, she balked to me and always checked on my mental health. You can bell she loves what she's doing

Prof. Kurtovic is an EXCELLENT educator. Her lectures contain a ton of interesting content, she's very accommodating, and she cares so much about her students. This isn't to say it's an easy course - lots of reading, strict attendance, and don't phone in assignments. She wants her students to succeed, but wants them to have earned their success.

Professor Kurtovic is someone who is a natural teacher and mentor. I have had her for various courses, and they have been my favorite throughout my degree. She makes sure we learn everything we need, the readings, course materials and testing is all in a perfect fit and flow. She always goes out of her way for her students! Must take

Although Prof. Kurtovic's class needs a good knowledge of the readings (which are frequent and long), her lectures are great. Her tests reflect class material, but you HAVE to have done the readings. She really cares about her students, and is happy to clarify instructions. She's a very fair marker too. If anthro interests you, take her class!

Professor Kurtovic provides an excellent introduction to Anthropology. Her course is very heavy in readings and offers even more optional material for students who wish to learn more in any particular area. Readings are very important for the midterm and final so be sure to actually do them.
