Comment:
Her lectures are certainly not boring and she very much knows what she's talking about. Before her class I was only mildly interested in Anthro but now I'm minoring in it. She uses PowerPoints a lot but her lectures are good and she chooses great books. I can't stand group assignments and these were actually nice! The exams are all multiple choice.

Comment:
Lectures were boring and she never varied from the powerpoint presentations. I often got the feeling that she didn't know what she was talking about despite her degrees in the field. She was difficult to follow in lecture, but outside the classroom she was in her element. I found her a better teacher in her office than in the classroom.

Comment:
I took the honors section. A lot of writing is expected, but in my opinion she's not a very critical reader if you provide detail. Her lectures are super boring, and the readings can be boring too. But if you go to class and write the few 3 pg papers throughout the semester, it is such an easy A.

Comment:
Prof used to teach this class as a 405 and the requirements for new 210 are definitely above a 200-lvl but if you follow directions and give yourself time to complete assignments, they are fairly easy. I'll likely get an A and it wasn't terribly time-consuming. Prof is very nice and helpful as well, good sense of humor.

Comment:
Prof. Hull has a unique way of teaching anthropology and although many find it boring, I found the class insanely interesting. The short reads are really good but the Robins text is hard to stay awake while reading (and I love reading). Do all of the assignments and show up on time. She will roll her eyes at you or call you out if you walk in late.

Nice teacher. Easy class. A lot of reading and powerpoints and papers. She grades the papers critically. Overall a good professor unfortunately I missd a few deadlines on some papers and as a result I got a C+ instead of the B I should have gotten. Overall excellent professor with a lot of knowledge and experience in her field.

She talked a lot about her own experiences and a lot of the test questions were about lecture, but if you don't read the textbook youll have problems. I got a B and i like half read the assigned readings...

She is such a nice person. You can tell she loves the topic, and really likes teaching too. The class is quite easy, although I know some people who struggled with her exams (I don't know how though). I would recommend her.

She's a very nice lady, but the class is terribly boring. Read the books and you'll be fine for the tests. Uses power points a lot, and her lectures are usually very boring. Videos are usually entertaining because of how ridiculous they are.

Professor Hull was good. Even though the subject tends to get boring and I knew nothing about anthropology going into the class but she tells you exactly what she expects on the quizzes and 3 small paper assignments were pretty easy. I ended up with an A- I would definitely recommend her.

Comment:
A nice woman, but the class was horrendously boring. She had interesting stories from her time in Mexico but that's pretty much it. Info from lecture was barely applied which made having to sit through it that much worse. The essay exams are easy and if you read the books the final is easy as well.

This class was really boring, but she took attendance everyday, 3 exams, the final was take home. lots of discussion. If you read the books you should do fine in the class.

HNR section. A nice lady, but not a super prof. Cares about her students, but I wasn't impressed with the class. Ppt. lectures, talks a lot, little discussion, big group project and 3 at home essay tests (fine if you use the readings). Got an A, but grading was a bit iffy at times. I'll admit that anthro isn't my thing, though.

Hull is not a good prof. This class is only for individuals who are thinking about majoring in anthropology.Three exams which were horrible+ a 20 minute presentation made for a miserable semester. Avoid

Incredibly helpful. When informants backed out last minute, helped to come up with a new approach/topic within the study and offered to give more time past the semester deadline if project couldn't be completed. I've had her for 4 classes and she's always been super nice in all of them. Wonderful professor if you're willing to do the work.

Incredible amount of material to cover - lots of weekly readings and assignments on top of the three major monograph books. Major assignments easy overall. Three weeks given for final paper was nice - the paper itself was tedious.

Comment:
Weekly article reviews were tedious but not too hard. Tests were difficult but take home and plenty of time was given to complete. Theories studied were sometimes hard to understand - she sometimes wasn't even sure of the differences herself but went by what the book said. Grading was pretty easy, though.
