Comment:
Hodgson is a good lecturer, she knows what she's talking about and her classes are pretty straightforward, but she can be a giant pain to deal with. If you get on her bad side by expressing an opinion she doesn't agree with, she'll be extra condescending to you (which is bad because she gives a participation grade) and grade you very harshly.

Comment:
You have to do nothing to do badly in this class. It's a boring class, but its not a difficult one. Shes not very friendly but she gets the job done. You have to read to do well on the test, and pay attention in class. If you go to class, read and give a little effort you will get a B or better. Anyone who says otherwise is lazy.

Really, not that bad. Don't really have to go to class, recitation is sort of a waste of time, but an easy A.

She does not care about her students at all. She shows a movie EVERY week and leaves as soon as she puts in on, like she can't wait to get out of there. She is disrespectful to her students and is a very stupid woman.

She was very informative. The class is work but it's so interesting. If you listen to her and do the readings it's an easy A. I loved her and I love the topic.

HORRIBLE!! Goes off on tangents about how she lived in Africa,who cares if it's irrelevant?I found her arrogant(without reason)and extremely unapproachable!Too hard for an intro class, don't recommend taking it at all!Safe yourself the headaches and seeing ur GPA drop,not worth your time or effort!!

Class was very interesting. Make sure to do all of the readings for her class, the mid-term is quite thorough. Lots of opportunities for extra credit, you can get up to 10 points added onto your final letter grade. One of the best cultural anthropology classes at Rutgers

If you miss class you need to get notes. Movies, and lectures are very important and are the main focus on exams. Do well on your 4 exercizes and you will be closer to a good grade. When you read the text take GOOD notes... she asks obscure questions...

Heavily bases exams on in-class notes and films...too bad the films put you to sleep within the first 5 minutes. 1960s PBS has never been more entertaining...
