Reviews of professor Martyne Farris

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Easy class if you want an average booster. If attendance wasn't mandatory, a student would be able to pass without coming to lecture. She just reads the slides like a script and can become repetitive. It's only engaging because of TopHat. She asks participation questions based on the readers, so read. One of the most uninteresting class I had.

Very understanding of her students and outlines exactly what will be on the midterm and final. For a class that is 60% based on essays, one would expect that she provide a rubric. Provides VERY little feedback, if at all. Lectures can be boring and she tends to read the slides like a script.

I advise anyone to go into this class with an open mind, as you always should. I discovered I like anthropology and will be continuing with more classes in the future. Martyne is a solid choice!

Easy class for a good mark. Attendance is strongly recommended as participation on Top Hat is part of your final mark (she also take attendance through Top Hat). She posts lectures online and they are easy to follow along with. The 3 assignments and midterm we had in the term were very easy and straight forward. Interesting and easy class!

Very easy credit! Attendance is mandatory and she will log if you're there through TopHat every day. Not very much work, but I enjoyed her lectures and test questions were mainly common sense. Iconic phrases: "PROBLEMATIC", "So, yeahhh", "Um".

Great class to take for a grade booster. Her lecture slides are thorough and regularly posted online. The textbook is interesting and easy to read. Super clear grading criteria and gives specific guides to study for exams.
