Reviews of professor Laurah Klepinger

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Definitely not the most exciting class in the world but she doesn't make it any easier. She expects A LOT especially as a 101 class. I find myself spending more time on her work than for my major classes. Her grading policy is also really strange.

I had Dr. Klep for ANT101 and I loved her class. She is very open to working with students outside of class and genuinely cares about her students.

You have to actively participate in class during class discussions in order to earn an A. Professor Klepinger is flexible with everybody and she is happy to work with you.

Expects way too much for an online 101 class that most just take for the General Ed DEI requirements. Lots of reading plus discussion posts, quizzes, midterm + final, and a 5 page essay that she grades with high expectations. As well as confusing prompts and expectations. Avoid if possible!

This teacher is terrible, this class is a 101 class and she expects so much out of you. She makes you watch the lectures which are almost unbearable just to be able to have a question about the discussion topic. She wants you to not have the same one as your other classmates but does not give a lot of questions to chose from. Do not take her class.

Dr. Kelpinger was really good in my opinion. The workload was very manageable (2 posts per week, 3 major projects) and she laid out her grading very clearly. Make sure you cite every source from your weekly reading, because you will lose a lot of points if you miss one. Also, start projects early so you're not rushing last minute.

I had Laurah for ANT101 and ANT415 (online) and I loved her for both classes. For ANT415, there are a TON of reading assignments each week. If you take ANT 415 online with her, be prepared to make weekly discussions on engage based on the reading each week. It's a lot of work but Laurah is a fair grader, she will give you the grade you deserve.

I took her ANT 101 class as a senior and it has more work then all four of my level 500 classes. She seems like a nice person, but her class is a bit top heavy for a 101. You have to work consistently on talking about her lectures and her lectures only in any assignment or you will fail the class. Just try your best to agree with her.
