Reviews of professor Elizabeth Wirtz

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
I only took this class to meet a core requirement. If Anthropology is your thing, you may love this class but I personally hated it. I found the lectures annoying and useless. You don't need the textbook but you will need the DeLeon book (there's a major paper based off the book). Lecture isn't mandatory and I barely went but recitation is.

Discussion posts weekly, one paper, two exams, easy

Class had mostly lectures, but as long as you read the textbook chapter you will be good for inquisitive a every week. There is a book to read through the semester, and a big term paper due. Overall, super easy If you do the work.

Professor Wirtz is intelligent and sweet, but she falls short as an async instructor. I wish she would give actually helpful feedback, grade things timely, or have more leniency reserved for students (considering she is frequently late at updating materials). Amazing scholar, (I believe) good in-person lecturer, not-so-awesome async instructor.

The lectures were great and she was funny as well which made going to class easier. There was a term paper but overall it was an easy class.

Prof Wirtz organized the online class very well and everything was straightforward. She also gave out tons of extra credit which was super helpful. The class was simple with a midterm and a final with weekly homework that is usually a summary of a video. As long as you do your work and follow directions, you will succeed.
