The workload is ridiculous and the assignments are not only confusing but have nothing to do with the quizzes. I didnt learn anything from this class even though I spent so much time completing her assignments. Would not recommend.

If you want an A in this class there is a lot of reading like 3 hours or more a week, but what you read and the documentaries you watch are so rewarding its worth it. Her essay grading is fair and relatively easy as long as you put some work in but the quizzes are tricky, you have to know minute details for it so they're tough

ANTH101 is not for you if you don't like reading and learning about culture. It is a challenging course, but extremely engaging and you will get out of it exactly what you put in (do not expect grade inflation or an "easy A"). The quizzes are not impossible if you do the (many) readings - in fact, they are quite clear and easy if you prepare well.

The class itself is fine and the quizzes are not difficult if you study the material beyond just definitions.

Professor Neitzel gives good feedback and replies quick, but don't take this class if you're looking for something that's going to be easy. I took this class asynchronously online and it was heavy on extra readings. Her quizzes are also matching based but are extremely difficult due to the unclear question wording. Very few relate back to lecture.

Comment:
The professor is nice, response to emails fast, and the essays and discussion posts aren't too bad. What is worst is the exams in this class. The formatting is horrific with answer choices being extremely unclear. At the moment about 3/4 of the class has not gotten higher than 30% on the exams, and the only thing she said was to "Study more".

She is super nice and quick to answer emails. However, her quizzes have nothing to do with the lecture material, the modules have so much in them, and the discussions are loosely based off of the content. If you take this class the readings and reading study guides will be your best friend.

Her tests are more than confusing. I spent hours studying for them and felt like I knew the material yet failed every single exam due to her confusing formatting and unclear question responses. She threatened to give me a 0 on the final for one mistake. I thought this would be an easy A and interesting class but it turned out to be a pain.

Took ANTH101 online, absolutely terrible, would NOT recommend. All discussion posts are pointless, quizzes don't make any sense/have much relevance to what was actually discussed in lectures. I didn't learn much of anything about anthropology, yet spent way too much time doing work for this class.

Comment:
Three quizzes during a semester and a take-home essay as a final. The quizzes are just about the definitions and maps and they're absurd, they have nothing to do with the definitions she gives during the lectures. Don't waste your time doing the readings, there are quizlets done just google them, listen to lectures do extra cr it should be easy A.

Comment:
Jill Neitzel is the worst professor at UD. If the goal for the anthro class is to expose students to different cultures to broaden their perspective, it fails spectacularly as Neitzel would rather you do busy work than any serious learning. Her expectations are never clear and all she gives is busy work. What a waste of a college course and tuition

Honestly one of the easiest classes you'll ever take, but also very informing. I looked forward to going and learning about a different culture. Your grade consists of facebook posts through the class group, and commenting at least 10 times on other peoples post. You also write a 3-4 page paper as a final but other than that no exams or anything.

This class could have been interesting if she knew how to explain things. She spends way too much time talking about things that you won't see on any of the quizzes or online discussions. The quizzes are extremely confusing and vague. Her grading style is ridiculous, and she picks apart your writing. Most assignments are due on Fri/Sat nights.

took this class online for winter session. there are 3 exams, 2 "projects",and a final exam which is essay format. all of the blogs were very easy. the projects were fine but she grades them as if you are in an english class. she takes so many points off for grammar and "not polished writing." exams are fine but can be a little vague.

Comment:
Quizzes are extremely hard and are almost similar to a cross word puzzle. She has key terms that you need to know but for the quizzes know the applications of the terms more so than the definition. Too many projects/assignments also. I would not take her class again. She does respond quickly when you email her.

She is a very quirky character and it can be a lot if it is an 8am class as mine was. If you go to class and do the worksheets you will 100% pass. I did bad on the tests and papers and still passed with a C+ because of the worksheets.

Do yourself a favor and take ANTH232. One of the best classes I've taken. Very easy and you get to learn a lot of interesting material and talk to people you normally wouldn't. Neitzel can be annoying, and the class is discussion based with lots of little assignments. For the most part, I really enjoyed it.

This class is definitely worth taking becasue it is super easy, very interesting and fun. The three big things that you're graded on are facebook posts/comments, group presentations, and one short essay which none of these are difficult. Just show up to class becasue attendance is taken plus what you do is very interesting and you'll learn a lot

Comment:
Appears to be a mild mannered old lady, by the amount of reading you have to do and the amt. of material covered in class, you'd think the tests are difficult. they're simple matching tests that mimic her practice quizzes. fairly easy, but she's tough on essays (and unwilling to talk about the grade she gave you if it's poor).
