Reviews of professor Marcella Zulla

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This class was recommended to me by a friend. She is willing to work with you, but don't procrastinate. She will help you if you let her know at least a day ahead of a deadline. No mandatory attendance but you need to submit a weekly notes assignment. You are allowed to skip 6 of them and 1/4 big essays without penalty.

I would never suggest her to anyone. Shes very disorganized and never seems to know much about what she's teaching. I'm sure she's a great person but honestly, she comes off as rude. She doesn't communicate projects clearly so then we're left with more work than anticipated. All the work is easy until the final project.

This professor made an easy A course extremely difficult. She made it impossible to enjoy an anthropology class. I would never recommend this teacher to anyone. Her lectures were extremely boring and her assignments felt pointless. Her instructions were always unclear. If you want to actually somewhat enjoy a class, take a different professor.

Teacher was an absolute joke. I had to struggle to get a good grade on my final paper because she was too idiotic to understand the criteria she gave out.

Largely based on discussion. She encourages students to participate without putting anyone on the spot. Makes you think outside the box which I personally liked. There are not enough spaces to do this IMO. Very knowledgeable. Sometimes she needs to put her foot down a bit more when people try to get away with not doing their part in group project

How do I even begin this review... Horrible professor. Should not be able to teach a college course. Gives out instructions for assignments and then expects something totally different from students. Many papers throughout the entirety of the class. Very easy course made difficult for no reason. I do not recommend taking this professor.

There are four papers; (she grades them leniently) you can skip one paper without penalty. There's one-note assignment per week, a paragraph of what you learned in class. Then ethnographic interview practice to prepare for the ethnographic interview. If you mess up your papers' format, she won't take off points; she wants to see that you learned.

Professor was very understanding, she responded to emails promptly and gave extremely helpful feedback. She has very high standards but will work with you to learn about her expectations. This class has definitely made me a better writer and opened my eyes to many things. One of my favorite things was medical anthropology and healthcare.

Class was discussion- and writing-focused. I learned a lot from the notes she assigned and her feedback. She is very approachable and fun. There is no late-policy but you can skip some assignments without penalty. Don't wait till the last minute with the key issue reflection papers.
