Reviews of professor Lily Alexander

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
She holds an asynchronous class, though she kind of disappears at times with several students complaining of never getting emails back and being worried. She is a tough grader although all she assigns are things that are based on her previous works which is... interesting. she is passive aggressive and expects a lot for a class about. Folklore.

There are a lot of papers and reading but she is very passionate about her subject which makes the lectures very interesting. She's flexible with grading and replies to emails quickly and is always willing to help. As long as you do the readings and stay on top of the writing assignments, it's an easy A.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS IF YOU DID NOT TAKE INTRO TO ANTHROPOLOGY. This class is terrible and boring. She makes you do a course journal (single spaced about 12 pages), a midterm (about 5 pages), a presentation (at least 10 slides) and a course paper based on presentation (12 pages single spaced). Also a final take home test (at least 5 pages).

She requires a lot of writing that can sometimes be repetitive, but it's an easy A if you hand in the work on time and have a basic understanding of the material. She connects Russian folklore to movies, theater, and even anime and video games and it's really interesting! Her accent is not that bad, and she's very passionate about the subject.

This class is confusing because it is asynchronous and she does not update. However, there is only one course project and a journal the entire semester. They are pretty long and there are steps in the final project but you have pretty much free reign how and when you do your work. She gives great feedback and is so kind. Wish I had her in person.

She is actually nice and caring, but time management is the key!!!. You have to buy her textbook which is actually quite interesting if you're into creative writing and reading. You have to summarize everything you read for the midterm and the final. The final essay is 10 pages but if you space out your time you'll be fine.
