Reviews of professor Carmen Barbolla

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Out of the 8 classes I have taken at APUS, Professor Barbolla has been the slowest instructor to return grades on assignments and forum posts. She only responds to a few of the early forum posts each week, and interacts less each week. Assignments and forum post requirements seem particularly intense for an introductory class.

The class is very interesting, I learned more than expected from it and enjoyed the topics and discussions. That being said- expect lots of writing and research papers (Three 4-6 page papers over 8 weeks). Just know that the professor is a slow grader, so don't expect your work being graded in a timely manner. I did and was disappointed.

Slow grader and TOUGH grader. It seems like Anthropology 100 should be way more of an introduction but she has us doing advanced anthropolgy assignments. Tons of reading and videos to watch. If you don't read the material you will surely be lost as all her assignments require citing from the required readings. Have fun!
