I did not enjoy this class at all, and it made me hate archaeology, which I have continued to dislike from upper div classes. This class was so boring, hard to focus in, and the material was not made more interesting. Expectations were vague. I do not recommend it. Wait for a professor with better reviews and take it from them!

Overall, this was a good class. Professor Smith was clear with assignments and grading. Lectures were sometimes dry, but overall the content was interesting (at least to me). Discussion sections were mandatory, but I think I learned the most insightful information there. Tests were easy if you went to lectures, paid attention, and read class material. Papers were graded somewhat harshly, but Smith offers extra credit that really helped my grade. Overall, this GE was on the easier side and I would definitely recommend it to others.

I loved this class, which made me add an Anthro minor. Her class is very interesting and her tests are very easy if you pay attention in class and read. She also gives you two papers, where she (and her TAs) grades them very harsh, but with the extra credit she provides, you can easily bump your grade up to five percent.
