Comment:
-DO NOT TAKE - feels the need to express her hatred of everyone and everything except anthropology, vendetta against technology - showing up makes it slightly easier but some exam questions are still from left field and youll be fine if you have google - her lectures are so boring and repetitive I couldnt motivate myself to go most of the time

Comment:
She feels the need to tell us, every single class, that she hates technology, the IT department, other professors, any academic study other than Anthropology, and especially students. Tests are fair, though, and when she is on topic she is knowledgeable. The textbook had online resources that really helped.

Had to show up for her lectures that were boring. Midterms were just all over the place. complete online quizzes. don't understand why I even had to purchase a textbook she didn't use.

She is a good prof. Show up regularly and you won't find difficulties to pass this class. Take notes regularly. easy course outlines as 2 midterms and 1 final. Multiple choice questions.

DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS. Her class is easy but not worth it considering how boring and dry her lectures are. I've experienced boring professors but I've never been actually mad at how boring, repetitive, and annoying a prof is. I always manage to see the good in profs but there is nothing good about her as a prof or her class. Just take another class

2 Quizzes and a final, All multiple choice. She doesn't give you slides or anything but if you show up, this class should be an easy pass.

Marcia is an okay prof but beware the cell phone thing. Do NOT let her catch you on it during class. Just show up for class and read the textbook for the midterms and you'll be fine.

Comment:
The tests weren't overly hard, and her lectures were generally easy to follow, but she was somewhat rude, hard to get a hold of at times, HATES technology, didn't have our grades online, and goes off on weird tangents. I don't think I will take from her again.

I found her classroom ethics to be very rude, specifically to students of non-anthro background. Many Tangents, and hates the use of "brain rotting devils technology" ie. cell phones and laptops. many quizzes and two exams, and a book review. Content is easy and decent, but you have to work harder than you should at a 200 level to get good marks.

Her tests are easy but she's a psycho when it comes to cellphones and gets off topic in almost all of her lectures.

The actual content of the class could have been good, shes just boring and goes off on tangents. If she catches you on your phone she'll go off on a tangent about the phone being the devil. Overall easy class, take it with someone different.

Though she is fairly repetitive and eccentric at times, Marcia is a good professor. I enjoyed the course material and she showed films in class that I found fascinating. She prepares you well for exams. She says the course texts are all required, but I never used mine once and did very well. Save yourself the money, and just go to class lectures.

I took Marcia's Anthropology 100 class. The class had no papers or group projects. There were just 3 multiple choice exams that weren't cumulative. And if you study, and use the online resources (highly reccommend using!!) you can do really good in the class. She does tend to ramble, but she's really funny and the content of lectures is interesting

Would not recommend going to her office if you have any questions. She is rather rude and ignorant to you, makes you feel unintelligent. All midterms and Finals had questions on it that weren't taken up in class or in text book.

Comment:
It's a fairly easy class. The challenge is paying attention. She rambles and takes forever to explain a simple concept. Due to this she'll forget the topic or definition and move on. Sometimes she'll rush through the lecture and then stall for the remainder of class. Excellent idea to use online resources for studying. Attendance is mandatory.

This class was very straight forward. She tells memorable stories to help you learn the terms and definitions, which is mostly what the class consists of. I liked it as a first year class.

Loved this class, Marcia uses a textbook that is easy to follow she does not stray from the course outline. The textbook features interactive web quizzes and games. All the tests were multiple choice and no assignments. Very easy class to get an A.

BUY THE TEXT! attendance is mandatory as she does not post notes. She will write a word on the board and then talk about it. You write what you hear. I found her to be funny, but depends on your sense of humour, it's a very dry humour.
