Reviews of professor Kelly Goldberg

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Amazing class and professor. Highly recommend to non-stem students looking to get their honors science credit. The class is fascinating and Dr. G does a great job at making content digestible and interesting. Labs are tedious but doable- class tends to bond. Make flashcards/one-pagers and you will ace exams. Workload is decent but not overwhelming.

Dr. Goldberg is extremely nice, and truly cares about her students. She offers amazing outside-the-classroom opportunities. Some of the labs are cumbersome, but I never felt overwhelmed by the homework and readings (it is a 4-hour credit). Tests are hard but graded easily. I never thought I would be interested in monkeys, but her class changed me!

I will say that Anthro is not for the weak if you are not an Anthro major. The class is difficult but Dr. Goldberg makes it more bearable. She works hard to make sure she is conveying what needs to be conveyed for exams and posts the slides and work. She also is good at answering questions and listening to the needs of her students.

I always tell people to take Dr. Goldberg's classes if they need ANTH credits. She is an amazing lecturer, very helpful in labs, and a fairly easy class to get an A in.

Dr. Goldberg is an absolute queen. She is so kind and makes lectures fun. there is a lot of homework/reading but it's a 4 credit class so that's kinda what you're signing up for. exams are pretty easy. Never knew id care this much about hominids and primates. Anth 161 was such a fun class and the zoo trip was so fun. 10/10 would recommend

Dr. Goldberg is beyond passionate about biological anthropology in the best way possible. I honestly signed up for this class just because it was the best science credit available, and it sounded interesting but I was blown away by how much I've enjoyed this course. There is a bit of reading and videos to watch, but it's only like an hour a week.

Although it was manageable- this course still was by far the most difficult class I've taken. There are constant assignments, which are time consuming. The tests in this class are very hard, most people I know struggled to pass them. If you're not a science person, this class will be really hard for you. We did go to the zoo, which was fun.

Took this for my honors lab credit, but would've taken it even if that wasn't necessary. Dr. Goldberg is an amazing lecturer who truly cares for her students, but most importantly, loves what she teaches. Long and tough exams, but there is extra credit on them. Just study her lectures (which she uploads) and you'll do great.
