Reviews of professor Cristina Moya

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
The class was a nightmare. One paper of 10 points got my grade taken down a lot. The second paper hasn't even been graded because the professor won't grade the papers because 'the TA grades them'. The TA is on strike. Not clear instructions. No vocab so we know what shes saying. Lectures, not a lot of info. I would not take her classes ever again.

Wow, I have no idea why these scores are so low. Dr. Moya is a fantastic professor. She is one of the most approachable faculty in the anthro department and will always make time for her students. She is very technical in her terms- but she loves class interaction. If you are PASSIONATE about anthro, please take this class- or talk to her!

Dr. Moya is clearly very knowledgeable in her field, but I personally was not a fan of her teaching style. Lectures were mandatory and attendance was taken via a kahoot, but lectures were boring and very little help. Slides were just text walls of information I didn't need and I often found myself not knowing what to even take notes on.

Moya is engaging and passionate about the subject. No boring lectures. Understanding and flexible to students' needs. Grades kind of harshly and does not provide study guides. Weekly assignments to write a question based on the reading, 2 short answer exams, 1 group presentation, and 1 paper. Overall probably one of my favorite anthro profs

Chapter readings and post due before every class. Right after first midterm there was a big paper due. Kahoot in class as attendance. Group project at end is difficult unless your group works well together (got 12/15). Accessible for ?s after lectures. Thought I was going to get a B- based on Canvas but ended up with an A after 17/20 on final.
