Comment:
Took this class before I found out I didn't actually need it this semester. I'll just say this: This professor is a very tough and strict grader. You are expected to read powerpoint lectures on your own. If you're confused, there's weekly office hours you're "recommended" to go to. Also; the professor disables grade calculation! Have fun with that.

Cultural Anthropology Honors does not mean it is harder. It's just tailored to have a small group of students. The expectations of the instructor are high. You must read and understand the material; memorization won't do you any good as she tests your critical thinking skills. It important that you ask questions and come prepared for class.

Comment:
After being in class for a week or so it was easy to find what I needed to find on canvas, work being posted in the same place every week, and all classwork being in order in the modules. I thought that the powerpoints were well worded and helpful, it made it easier to remember information after going over the textbook by highlighting the key point

I really enjoyed taking Prof. Markleys class and I found the work to be more enjoyable than it was difficult. Some weeks there was a significant amount of material to read, but overall the class didnt occupy too much of my schedule. Shes very responsive to emails and she hosts optional zoom meetings prior to exams. I highly recommend her class

Professor Markley is one of the best anthropology professors I have had at Fullerton College. Her classes are inspirational and fascinating. Her class is organized and easy to follow, so as long you do the work you will earn an A.

She is a tough grader for sure. However, if you take you time to understand the material then you will be more successful. The assignments given are already pretty hard and the tests are TOUGH. Studying and putting time into this class is essential. You will not pass if you do not put all your effort into it.

Comment:
Rubric explicitly states to synthesize assigned work, omits penalty citing outside sources. Lost -8% (92%) on HW asgmt late 10%. Cited Anthro journal to avoid plagiarism. Told I wasn't writing "in my own words" (subjective) denoting lacks originality or cheating, K.M. didn't expound in email - reiterated generalities. Gifted student, BLM.

You can tell Markley is very passionate about Anthropology. She does provide you with powerpoints and study guides to help you through each chapter, but you must read every link in the PowerPoint. You are tested on everything she gives you. Her quizzes were pretty easy; however, her exams were more difficult.

Out of the last 3 years of school this has been the hardest class, certainly didn't help I took it during summer. Professor provides study guides and powerpoints but there is SO MUCH READING. Very interesting class and you'll learn a great deal of information. Stick with this course during the 16 week schedule!

She is very communicative and I personally feel like if you do not communicate with her then you will struggle. She is very understanding of life getting in the way, and will try to work with you to the best of her abilities. There is a lot of group work, and reading, she is very organized and is dedicated to your for success as a student.

The title of this class is more interesting than the class itself. You get a useless packet that you never have to bother to touch. During class discussions if you don't say what she wants you to say she will jump at you right away. While the class is easy the prof manages to make the subject boring. Don't bother with this if you are curious.

Easy A class, quizzes and exams can be found online, and assignments require very little effort. The textbook will be referenced a few times for assignments, but there is a free pdf available, I don't recommend buying it. Take this class if you need it for a requirement! It's an easy class to do well in.

Professor Markley really loves anthropology and will be able to make you interested and invested into the subject. She does great lectures that correspond with notes and while there is somewhat a lot of homework, it definitely helps you understand anthropology.

I'm psychology major, but I feel like taking this class has completely helped me in understanding psychology much more and the world around me. This is definitely not an easy class. I took the online class. There's tons of homework each week, lots of readings, so you'll have to really be on top of it all. Overall, I really enjoyed the class though

I would recommend this class for anthropology majors because shes pretty strict with her grading criteria and has a lot work that has to be done! I do really like that in this class you learn a lot of interesting topics. Her test are actually pretty hard and kind of awkward. A lot of the questions are the same, but require a different answer.

If you want an easy A, this is not the class for you. You will have to work for it. She gives quizzes/exams that requires you to read the textbook. Assignments are time consuming and no bs-ing. Id only recommend this class to anthropology majors.

This class is NOT easy. There is an assignment due every class BUT they are extremely helpful for the exams. The assignments are in the notebook that is mandatory to buy and that is your study guide. So as long as you keep up with the homework and study that, you will do fine. She is passionate about anthro and I enjoyed the class a lot!

Assignments are time consuming and quizzes/tests you must know your anthropology in order to pass as they are tricky. Reading the textbook and slides are a must!!

I took her online Anth101 class and it's harder than most of my other classes. If you log in twice a week and study efficiently (I used quizlet and flashcards), you should be able to get an A. I currently have a 90.4 and I might get a B after the final, but I learned a lot with the ted talks. They were very intriguing to watch.

This was my second time to take her class. She expects you to know that book that you are ready and understand the class as well. When you are just the student and we aren't perfected at all! Don't take her class.
