Reviews of professor Julia Fierman

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Lectures are dry; she goes over reading and remains seated (if you sit in back you may have trouble hearing). Is understanding about deadlines. Took class called Psychological Anthropology with her and Culture & Personality with someone else, different names for same thing but classes are completely different, hers is more like "Anthro of Emotion".

Great teacher. Your grade is based on 3 papers (chosen from a selection of 5), an easy midterm, and a final. Class can get extremely boring at times but you can tell she's really passionate about Anthropology. Easy A.

Professor Fierman is honestly a good professor. She gives you 5 paper options, but you can choose to do any 3 you want. She grades you on the three papers, the midterm and the final. There are a lot of readings but she does her best to explain them. She can be boring at times, but she knows the material. I would definitely take her again

you may fall asleep in her class but it's up to you to pay attention, this lady is so sweet I'm kinda mad I didn't discover her sooner. She is such a good spirit women she is one of the best professors john jay have, I learned a lot and she is so understanding. Its hard not to like her.

One of the easiest professors I had yet. She gives you 5 papers, from which you only have to do 3, a midterm and a final. No homeworks, just readings before every class. Overall, shes such a sweet and kind professor and is extremely helpful if you're confused about any part in the course. Would recommend anyone to take her.

Super smart and clearly passionate about anthropology. That said the readings are challenging at first but she explains everything thoroughly. You're graded on three 2 page papers and 1 short presentation, the workload in this class comes from the readings. She is strict on attendance but overall would take again

She is extremely nice and very understanding. Three papers and you pick which ones you want to do. If she knows who you are the better it is for you. 1 midterm and a final which are EXTREMELY EASY. Show up to class, take all the notes down that she puts on the board and you will pass. It is impossible to fail, LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE.

Her lectures wasnt engaging and heavy. It was hard to focus in her class. If you read the readings youll be fine but you can get away without reading it if come to her lectures. She points out the important things and what will be on the test. She gives 5 papers throughout the semester and you can choose 3 out of 5 to do.
