Reviews of professor Emily Middleton

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I really enjoyed this class despite it being a longer lecture bc there were often guest speakers who had lots of interesting experiences to share. There's no attendance in this large lecture hall, but go anyway and do the easy exit slips so you do well! Exams weren't too hard and assignments/quizzes just require your attention and time. 10/10

(For ANTHRO 403) Very memorization based w/ 3 written exams and 4 practical exams. Not hard, just time consuming. The prof is funny & nice but did not respond to my emails, and grades for exams were put in delayed so I was unsure of how I was doing in the class until the term was over. I think this is more of a class for someone majoring in Anthro.

Every course I've had with Dr Middleton has been great. She's knowledgeable and passionate about what she teaches and does very well to make sure everyone understands the material. She's a great asset to the anthropology department!

Class was taken synchronously online due to COVID. Mostly comprised of guest speakers, some better than others, but overall, generally interesting. Lectures were typically not recorded but PowerPoints were made available to study from and during tests. The tests reflected the difficulty of an open-book test but were generally not too bad.

(actually for anthro 403 but unable to select it)

Dr Middleton is great! She's so interested in what she teaches and it comes through in her lectures. She's always ready to answer questions and help out, and does her best to make sure everyone understands the material. Generally a low stress and fun class!

Too much weight is on tests. Not enough credit for weekly assignments, quizzes and attendance/participation. Little help in preparation for subject matter on tests. Failing students/poor scores is NOT a trait of a successful professor. The greatest measure of success is every student passing and achieving grades in line with their GPA goals.
