Reviews of professor Mayra Aguilar

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The class is great it helps us understand the world around us. This class has helped take a moment to understand arguments on both ends of the spectrum. Lots of writing. Group projects. The food project was fun, interesting and engaging. Don't be lazy and do the extra credits. Overall a great class!

All in all, it's an easy class so if you're taking it for gen ed I'd say go for it, AS LONG as your work is perfect. Mayra is by far the worst professor I've had the displeasure of encountering. Gave me 0/50 for my final essay JUST because I forgot to provide in-text citations. Not even partial credit??? Irrational power-tripping individual.

Mayra made learning about cultural anthropology really easy and fun. You learn about different cultures and watch short documentaries that really make you think twice about yourself. She, also, used her personal experience as an anthropologist as examples (which I really enjoyed) highly recommend taking this class because you can learn so much!

Weekly discussion posts, two essays, 3-4 quizzes based on textbook, final exam is open note. As long as you put effort into the discussion posts and essays, show understanding of the content and connect to current events, you can get a good grade. The book was also very informative. She gives sufficient time to complete each assignment.

She talks so fast! Participation matters, required to read books to do essays, however, there are summaries online for those books. Just do the work, you will have an A. But of course, you have to work for it, she is not going to hand it to you :)

The workload is very light. On average, 1 assignment a week, takes 2 hours max to do. Just read the book, you can download a PDF online. 3 quizzes, 5 weekly discussions, 2 book summaries, and 2 big papers. If you spend quality time reading and studying, you should pass with A+ no problem. Not a difficult class, it's effort-based.
