Comments:1305 - She is an amazing, fun, and down to earth professor. I took this course because I was considering an anthropology minor. Her lectures were very interesting. Also, she is such a sweetheart. I would recommend anyone to take this course!!  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1305 - This is a required course for my anthropology minor. The professor is very eccentric and a little weird. Her powerpoints are terrible for taking notes to prepare for exams. They are extremely unorganized. There were just four exams each 25%. The questions were really strange. Many questions would reference comments she said in passing during lecture or minute definitions in the textbook. Most were multiple choice with some T/F and matching at the end. Taking notes is difficult but you have to take really detailed notes to do well. You also have to read the textbook thouroughly. The only nice part was the final exam was not cummulative. If you just need a Social Contemporary Issues credit I recommend taking ANT 1325 with Dr. Schultz instead. Great prof, really interesting, and easy grade.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1305 - I took Anthro 1305 to fulfill my "Contemporary Social Issues" credit. I had never taken Anthropology before and was excited about taking the course. Professor Macaulay is an extremely eccentric and slightly wacky professor. She used her in-class powerpoints more like lecture outlines for her own personal memory, versus organized, neat, and straightforward presentations that are easy to read, follow, and take notes on. We had four tests, each worth 25%. No additional homework, quizzes, or assignments (including no extra-credit). I'm not sure if this is the norm for her class, or if she simply chose to do this during COVID. The tests were multiple-choice, T/F, and matching. I found the tests significantly harder than anticipated to prepare for/ take because they were 1. disjointed 2. often riddled with spelling and grammatical errors 3. filled with at least 1-2 errors (as in, she appointed a wrong answer as "right"). It was difficult to study for them because she'd oftentimes include random, extraneous, and vague information from her lectures that she didn't emphasize in class. If you want to pass with an A, you must take detailed notes, attend lectures, READ THE TEXTBOOK, and watch/read every additional resource she assigns. She gave us a study guide for every test, so that also helped as well. If you only study off the powerpoints.....well, good luck Charlie.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1305 - I loved Macauely! She's kinda quirky, a bit goofy, but so so loving and joyful. She obviously loves what she teaches and class is typically pretty enjoyable. The tests aren't too hard, just make sure to study the book as well as your notes. The extra credit can boost your test grade by a whole letter if you do well on it, so make sure to study that! she's understanding about chaotic schedules and was super easy to meet with outside of class. It was also great cause I had two tests on the same day and she left me move the ANT test to a later date with no fuss! seriously, such a tender-hearted woman.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:ANT 1301 - Professor Macaulay is amazing. I took this class for my social science as a business student and it was a blast. The lectures are very interesting, especially in unit 2. There are 3 tests, the final is easy, and there is no homework and no quizzes. Your grade is simply 3 tests and a final. The tests are really easy if you pay attention and study the night before. There were a few questions from the textbook on the final but other than that, the textbook is not required and I never read it. She also canceled class 4 times in the semester, mostly the Friday after we took each test. She’s really fun to listen to, but the test comes from the slides so pay attention. Very relaxed class. She’s so sweet. She also knows a lot of people and got me an interview with an accountant that is a friend of hers. Coolest professor, definitely take her if you want an light, enjoyable class.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1305 - She's so sweet and like a class grandma. She is energetic and loves what she does. She really cares about the students. I remember going to her office once to pick up material I missed and she made sure I understood everything and even helped explain future material. Definitely take her!!  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:ANT 1305 - One of the easiest classes I have ever taken. Professor Macaulay is so kind and helpful! There are no quizzes or homework, and all that your grade consists of are the tests. The tests, however, are extremely easy. Just follow the study guide she sends out and take maybe an hour or two to study and you'll be set. She also lets you move tests if you have tests or other big things going on in other classes. Definitely take this class if you want to learn lots and have an easy A!  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:ANT 1305 - TAKE HER! She's incredibly sweet and very passionate. She is also super cute and I loved being in her class. She prepares you extremely well if you go to class and take notes and ALWAYS gives bonus on her tests. For me the class was very interesting so it was easy to learn. She cares about her students, doesn't really take attendance, and is VERY accommodating if you are needing extra time to study or have other things going on. No homework or quizzes so the grades are just the tests. She was awesome and I highly recommend her if you can take her.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:ANT 1305 - I love Carol!! She's a sweetheart and I wish she was my grandma lmao. But for real its an easy class and you'll learn a lot if you try  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:Intro to ANT - Really sweet professor. The tests come from the powerpoints and you really do not need the book at all except for some specific cultures/ethnic groups that are mentioned only there. Class was stress free and not hard at all. Also, an A is a 90, so it makes it easier.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1305 - No homework. Your whole grade is based on how you do on exams. She sends out a little study guide before each one. She gives you so many good mnemonics to remember phrases and terms that will be on her tests. Lots of extra credit on exams, and many T/F questions that tend to be true because she says she doesn't like lying. Carol Macaulay is so sweet and loves anthropology and it shows. 11/10  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:ANT 1305 - I took Carol's Intro to Anthro and I loved it. She is so sweet and accommodating. She genuinely wants all of her students to do well. I know a lot of people complain about her class because they aren't into the subject matter. Don't take this class if you aren't interested though because you will be bored out of your mind and will struggle. If you like Anthro Carol will be perfect at teaching in a way that makes sense. She assigns readings which aren't hard but you do need to be careful not to get behind because they will be on the test. Also, read the extra credit because those points are really handy. Just listen to her instructions and study what she tells you to study and you'll get an A. It can be tempting to slack off because there's no homework but don't fall into that trap. Anyway if you're taking this course you want Carol because the other professors move far faster and aren't nearly as helpful or passionate.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1305 - The only grades you get in this class are 4 tests, which aren't terrible but are very detailed oriented. I would read all of the chapters a day or two before the test in hopes of being able to remember all the small details, but still struggled. That being said, she gives 10 bonus questions/points based on extra credit readings that are super simple, so you're basically guaranteed an extra 10 points on each test, which are usually about 100 questions. Macaulay is a sweet lady but very... typical wacky college professor. The class bored me to death personally, but that's probably just because monkeys and bones don't really interest me. Good blow off class except for when it comes to test times.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:ANT1305 - This class is SUCH a breeze!! The grades consist of 4 tests. She gives 10+ points of extra credit on each exam.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1305 - This class was amazing and I loved learning about anthropology. She doesn't assign homework, just 4 tests and I never scored below a 100 on the test. Take Her for sure if you want an easy A and a super awesome class experience. She really cares about her students and understands that its just a requirement for most so doesn't make the class hard at all. Could not recommend more  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:ANT 1305 - I completely agree with the review below mine. I had major cram sessions the night before exams and still struggled. She has 10 extra credit problems on the tests that come straight from the extra credit readings that are weird, but interesting and those honestly saved my grade. Go to her office hours after a test and she'll give you points back and she'll love you. Just make sure to confirm that she'll be in her office because she often cancels her office hours without making an announcement. Make sure to read the textbook too, and don't skim because you'll miss a lot of the little details that she'll have questions on the test about. Someone else in a review said that she usually has way more true's than falses and this is so true, she'll even say so in class. She's a very sweet professor, but it was a boring class (unless you're into old fossils).  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:Intro to Anthropology - Yes I made an A, yes all these people made an A, but I had to put BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS into every study session before a test!! Literally had to study at least 3 days in advance for 4-5 hours each night to earn the grade I did. Yes she is such a funny and nice lady, but more times than not her slides don't make any sense. A lot of times they are out of order.. my friends and I just sit and take notes, but then when we are going back and studying, we realize how much she contradicts herself or chronologically it just doesn't make sense. I thought this would be one of my easiest classes, but honestly its probably my hardest. This is a history class on steroids. I take it with my roommate, and she thinks psych is easier so that says something.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1305 - She\'s a great professor and extremely nice!! She does go a couple minutes over time though, so if you\'re headed across campus, you have to pretty much speedwalk. She\'s also not very good at replying back to emails, so it\'s probably better if you go talk to her in person. Go to class and buy the book (she\'s okay with the 14th edition)because the test questions come from mainly her lectures and sometimes the book. She offers extra credit readings, and they show up as multiple choice questions at the end of the test. The grade is made up of 4 tests, no other homework, and the final is not cumulative. If you go in and talk about the test, she might give you points back. It\'s a super easy class and would totally recommend her!!  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:ANT 1305 - Carol is a sweet, friendly, and fun professor! She clearly loves anthropology and makes her lectures interesting and relatable! Her class is purely lecture-based with four tests, so if you read the assigned chapters and articles and go to class (she DOES take attendance) you should do well. (Bonus tip: sit in the front and talk to her often--otherwise she will not remember your name!!!)  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1305 - I love Carol! She is literally the coolest professor I've ever had. She really wants you to do well in her class. Her test aren't that hard. You need to read the book and go to class everyday. She lets you go to any of her classes and doesn't take attendance. She will turn you in though if you fail a test and she hasnt seen you in the class. Theres zero homework. Your grade is 100% based on test. I would recommend taking this class  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1305 - She is very sweet and extremely helpful. She just wants you to learn and loves students who go to her office hours. She will even give points back from the tests if you go to her office hours. BUY THE BOOK AND READ IT!!! I bought the book and would only study the terms, I waited until the 3 test to go to her office hours we went over every test and literally almost every question I got wrong was from the book. I read the book for the final exam and it was the easiest test I took in her class. If you read the book, you will get an A I could have if I did it sooner.  - Grade In Class:B

Comments:2307 - Dr. Macaulay is such a sweet woman. She gives reading reviews every week to be due on Friday (MWF classes), but she also goes over them on Friday. She is usually scatter brained so when preparing for the exams use her study guide and the textbook chapters to organize the information. She gave us 3 exams that were NONCUMULATIVE :) and she got our opinion whether we liked take home essays vs. test essays. She loves simplicity and no fluff in your writing so that helped me get the information short and sweet to learn. Overall, this class does require some work if you want to do well, but I liked it.  - Grade In Class:B

Comments:ANT1305/Intro to Anthro - For those of you who want an A, buying the textbook is necessary, as there will be questions from the readings. Before each test, she will send a little outline (e.g. know this, this, and this) study that a night or two before the exam, do the extra credit readings, and you'll get an a. Definitely go to her during office hours to review the tests, she will give you extra points for that as well! Easy class that requires just a little effort for an a!  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1305 - She is an awesome teacher! I looked forward to coming to her class every week and not missing out on something funny she'd say! She was so enjoyable to listen to and was very understanding when different situations would come up. She offered three class times, and we got to choose which one we went to, which was really helpful! She didn't care! Attendance also wasn't required, but we signed in each week just to say it was. Her tests were also pretty straightforward, so if you paid attention in class and read a bit of the book, you'd be so prepared. The only problem is that she offers only four grades: the four tests, so you better be prepared for each exam because those are the only grades in the class. She's an awesome professor, interesting lady, and so enjoyable to listen to! I would definitely recommend!  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1305 - Macaulay is great. Her lectures are detailed, and exactly what will be on the exam. She tells you what to read in an email before each exam - very specifically, not just "chapter X", but which sections in that chapter you should read to avoid reading the whole chapter. If you feel uneasy about an exam, she allows you to take the exam at a later date because she doesn't want you to stay up cramming. Her syllabus is way, way more intimidating than she actually is. If you go in to see her after an exam about what you got wrong, and can logically defend your answers, she will give you credit back for that question. The extra credit readings are definitely worth it, and you can read them an hour or so before the exam and get all of the extra credit questions correct. Great professor for a pretty boring class. Definitely worth it.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1305 - TAKE HER TAKE HER TAKE HER TAKE HER. Professor Macauley is by far one of my favorite professors at Baylor. She's super nice, very straightforward and made me love anthropology much, much more than I thought I would. During one class period, we got to test shoot a bow and arrow just for fun. The class is definitely not a complete blow-off but if you go to class, and just take notes over the powerpoints, you'll do absolutely fine. She posts some surprisingly interesting readings on canvas before the tests and if you even just skim them before the test, you'll get several of the extra credit questions right. She's quirky and funny and I'm honestly considering taking a class I don't even need just so I can have her again next semester. There is no HW other than just reading the textbook. No quizzes, just test grades. The tests are all multiple choice with some matching. A couple days before the test, she sends out a message on Canvas telling you exactly what the test will be over. I 100% recommend taking her for anything, because Professor Macauley is just absolutely awesome.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1305 - There is no homework except for reading the textbooks in preparation for the exam. For each exam there are bonus question which really help. GO TO CLASS however because if you don't you probably won't do as well on the exams. However if you do she makes it very doable to get an easy A in the class. Also you can tell she is really caring and passionate about anthropology. Overall I definitely recommend that you take her for this course!!!  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:Intro to Anthro - She's absolutely adorable and loves anthropology and her students. She made what should be a boring class quite interesting. Her tests are fairly easy because they come directly from the PowerPoints. The extra credit readings made it so I was getting high A's on every single one of them. The tests are the only work. I would definitely take this class again.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1305 - This class is super easy if you just show up and write down the notes. She doesnt post the powerpoints online, but the tests are straight from them. You can go to office hours after tests and go over what you got wrong and she will give you half credit on the ones you got wrong.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:ANT 1305 - Professor Macaulay is very sweet and knows what she's talking about. Her lectures are hefty, however. So, it is NOT a blow-off class. I think that the textbook helps, especially since some of her test questions come from it, but most of the questions are form her lectures. You'll need to study for the tests because there is A LOT of information. This class isn't hard to understand, it's just that you have to remember a lot of things. Her tests are about 100 questions, but like I said, it's not about understanding, but remembering. There are extra credit readings (DO THEM!) that count for ten points. If you don't get the grade you want, you can go view your test and she may give you some points. There is also an online software called CourseMate. 4 points of your final grade is determined from how many hours you spend on the software during the course of the semester. The other 4 points comes from the quizzes that are on coursemate. I loved just chatting it up with Macaulay, because she truly cares about her students. I honestly cared nothing about Anthropology, but I have learned so many interesting and useful things.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1305 - Okay guys. TAKE HER TAKE HER TAKE HER. She is one of my absolute favorite professors at Baylor because she genuinely cares about her students and wants to help you. She has stayed late to meet with me and is always very helpful. Don't get me wrong THIS IS NOT A BLOW OFF CLASS. I had to study really hard for tests because it's a lot of material. Here is how to get an A READ THE BOOK - The best thing you can do. DO THE EXTRA CREDIT READING GO IN AFTER AND REVIEW TESTS - she will give you back points if she understands why you selected and answer. I love her and want to be best friends with her.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:IntroArc - She cracks me up when it's definatley not on purpose. Arc is boring to me ( I hate all things outside involving dirt 😔) but the archeology class is interesting. She has funny stories, some cool stuff to pass around, and she is straightforward about what is important and what is not. Come to class, pay attention, don't dusrupt. Try not to be late all the time! Running on CPT is not okay! RCR: Respect, Comminicate, Read  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:ANT 1305 - I love Dr. Macaulay. She is such a sweet person. Her class is easy because you basically just show up and copy what's on the powerpoint she goes thru. MAKE SURE YOU READ THE TEXTBOOK. I went thru it and highlighted stuff that we talked about and basic details. I didn't read the book for the first test and just studied my notes and got a low B. I read the book and studied my notes for second test and got a 100 so you should definitely read the book!!! If you didn't do as well on a test as you would like, Macaulay lets you schedule a time with her to come in and go over your test with her and she'll give you points back! So make sure you go see her after every test because you won't get it back any other way, you'll just get your grade. If you need a credit take this class it's very easy.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1305 - So I'm going to agree with the comment below me. BUY. THE. DAMN. TEXTBOOK. I saw the comment that said not to and it was a mistake for the first test, but I somehow managed to pull a high A on it. I also never really found the best way to study for the class until the final (its not cumulative which is nice). The best way to do it is to use your class notes along with notes you take from the book. I read the book and typed up an outline for each chapter and section with specific information. And this was helpful, too bad I did it too late though lol. When studying, little pieces of information you wouldn't think were on tests actually were. For example, there were tons of questions asking about certain years and how many years ago a certain event happened. PAY ATTENTION TO DETAILS. Also take advantage of the extra credit readings, they help tons. One time, I had to take a test during her normal office hours, and I overhead her talking to a student who was overlooking their test. When they were review the questions the student got wrong, I heard Mrs. Macaulay give her a few points here and there for explaining their reasoning for choosing a certain answer. I would suggest talking to her if you had a problem. So far, everything went well for me in this class, I got an A on every single one. It's definitely doable. And she's got to be the nicest lady I've ever met in my life. No joke.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1305 - First off, let me say that NOT buying the textbook wasn't a good idea, despite what another reviewer said. At least 5 to 10 questions on the text came only from the book and this overall could change your letter grade difference. Tests are all near-100 questions long, bonus points can be awarded at the end of the test for extra reading. A large portion of the tests are T/F questions. Dr. Macaulay is nice enough to tip you off and let you know that she's "bad at lying" so when in doubt, truth is a good option. One thing I didn't like about her class was how she gave us information. Tests are rather challenging because some of the questions will ask you to come to a plausible solution based on data given to us in power-points. Meaning near-complete memorization is the ultimate goal when reviewing notes, as knowing just one or two facts for a question will often not be enough. NOTES ARE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. The slides are numerous, so Macaulay will rush through the slides and leave slower students in the dust. My recommendation? Get a laptop or something you can type on and may God help the students that bring a notebook and pencil. If a laptop isn't good enough, use your phone to take pictures while not annoying those behind you somehow. Macaulay doesn't give out a study guide for most of her tests, nor does she upload the PowerPoints online. For these reasons, an A isn't a cakewalk by any means, yet it is possible for those looking for a challenge. I saw a few students that managed to get an A on all the tests. However your odds are slim-to-nil if you have harder classes to worry about. You might want to save this one for a lighter semester. Another thing, the lecture outline is crap and completely out of order after the first several lectures. Really was rather unhelpful than what Macaulay claims. One big thing I did like about Macaulay was her discussions being surprising uncensored and accurate about the history of mankind. Creationists will have a blast in this class with their faith, I'm sure. From the standpoint of someone who isn't crazy for some of that Jesus, I was pleasantly surprised. Also nobody tried to interrupt to point out contradictions to their faith, so that was equally nice. If you don't come to class, but email everyone in the class for your notes, everyone will hate you. Save yourself from looking like an idiot and TRY to come to class as often as you can. If you must, just ask your neighbour for a copy of their notes for the days you just HAD TO MISS. You can return the favor when they miss. Macaulay was always available whenever I needed to see her, so that was also a small plus. The class was interesting for what it's worth, but a bit demanding when it comes to the tests, which are the only grades in the class. Be sure to study the notes and read the chapters in the book a few times. and you might have a chance at an A in this class. I think a B is the most likely grade if you do both above. If you're not very absent, get the book, take quick/good notes, and do the extra credit then you should do just fine.  - Grade In Class:C

Comments:1305 - She is great! Such a nice lady, and she is willing to help you at any time. You have to go to each class to get the class notes because that is mainly where her tests come from, but even though some people say not to buy the book I recommend it! She will put enough questions on the tests from the book sometimes to significantly drop your grade which is crucial because there are only 4 test grades for the entire class. If you go in to see her about your test, there is a chance that she will give you more points added to your test. She also will allow you to take exams earlier or later! If you need a social science credit, definitely take this class!  - Grade In Class:B+

Comments:ANT 1305 - Dr. Mcauley is interesting… I would definitely take her again if I was given the chance. I don't know how I have gotten As on all of the tests but by the grace of God I have… The class is almost impossible to pay attention in and there is a TON of info for each test. She's a great woman, the class just sucks. You definitely need to study for each test, theres no way to b.s. a 100 question unit test.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1305 - Although she is a very enthusiastic teacher and loves the subject, this class was extremely hard to pay attention in. Maybe you'll have a better chance if you sit near the front and don't bring a laptop (although it will be hard to keep up with the speed of note-taking without one). Not only do you need to write what's on the powerpoints, you need to LISTEN because she gives simple and further explanations. I wouldn't suggest even bothering to buy the book--you can get a good grade without it. But if you want to knock it out of the park, go ahead and get it. The tests are long and detailed, mostly multiple choice and true false. Don't take the easy-goingness of this class for granted, you need to actually study for the tests.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1305 - If you want a blow-off class that is interesting and has a super fun professor, look no further. The exams are multiple choice scantrons with a multiple choice extra credit section on each one. If you write down the slides as she talks about them, go over your notes once or twice the night before, and do the extra credit readings the night before the exam, you will walk out with an A. Also, if you are struggling with how to reconcile your Christian faith with evolutionary theory, Macauley is super helpful and respectful. She helped me quite a bit. So, if you generally give a rip about the class and review the night before, this class can be a good GPA booster.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1305 - She is literally my favorite professor at Baylor! She has a passion for Anthropology and you definitely see it in her teaching. She comes up with fun tips to remember things on the exams. She gives absolutely no homework. Your grade consists of 4 exams. She always gives 2 extra credit readings that make up 10 bonus questions on exams. If you have the opportunity to take her, do it! You won't regret it!!  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:ANT 1305 - Macaulay is a decent professor who provides extra credit and relatively easy A's. I never bought the book. Her teaching content can be a somewhat interesting, especially her views on feminism. Overall: Decent professor.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1305 - Seriously guys, if you need an easy class this is what you need to take. It is actually interesting and SUPER easy. She gives out so many extra credit opportunities its crazy. The class is actually interesting and I never wanted to skip because I actually like learning. I did get the book, but I probably only opened it once. I don't think you really need it. For the tests just read through your notes for an hour or two the night before and you will do great. I got b's on all the tests but there is so much extra credit I easily got an A!!! She is also a super nice person.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:ANT 2401 - Methods of Archaeology might be a three hour class, but you get a around a 15 minute break. You are assigned a bunch of workload such as reading articles, making maps, and etc. You are required to write notes on a journal that she provides for you. That little journal can be a pain, but if you want to focus on archaeology it can come in handy. Yes, it was a pain to be in a room for three hours, but it was fun when you can convince Carol to take you outside and learn some archaeological skills. The final was the only thing I have to really complain about. It took me three hours to finish. If you work hard in class and she sees you are working hard you'll get an A. Also, if you are a boy and take this class, Carol will pretty much baby you. A plus with Carol also is that she allows you to redo your homework that you did not do so well on. She does like to give out bad grades. Just try hard and you'll for she get an A.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:ANT 2302 - Carol is amazing. The first test you take in Emergence of World Civilizations might be too much, but she gives extra credit. She doesn't want to fail you. The reading assignments might be a lot, but you can skim the text and get the point. She gives out quizzes every time there is a reading assignment (they are not that hard). Talk to her and get to know her. The more you participate in her class the better grade you get.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:ANT 1305 - By far my favorite professor of the semester! She was so enthusiastic about the class that I looked forward to going everyday. She wants you to succeed and gives a lot of easy extra credit opportunities. She goes pretty quickly through the lectures though, and doesn't post them on blackboard so take very good notes. Reading the textbook isn't completely necessary but is helpful. Do be sure to read the little stories and picture captions though, because there are test questions over them. The final was not cumulative, just be sure to study the notes a lot before all of the tests.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:ANT1305 - TAKE HER. UP TO 20 EXTRA CREDIT FOR EACH TEST. EASY CLASS.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1305 - This professor is great. Really enthusiastic about anthropology, and very kind! She puts up powerpoints and lectures, but does not post them to blackboard so it is important to show up. If you go over the Powerpoints and skim the book for vocabulary words, you will do fine on the tests. She gives a lot of extra credit opportunities. Take her!  - Grade In Class:B+

Comments:1305 - I really enjoyed this class! You don't need to buy the book; only a few of the questions on the tests are not covered in class. If you take good notes from the PowerPoints and study a few days before the exam, you'll have an A. She was an exciting lecturer and was flexible with making up tests. Take this class!  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1305 - She is a pretty decent professor. She gives SO many extra credit opportunities it's almost ridiculous. I stopped attending classes and still made a 105 on the final. Even though this class is a snooze, it's pretty interesting and if you want to take a blow off class, I'd recommend it.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1301 - She's SO nice- kinda scatterbrained, though. 25-50% of the test material comes from the book, but she gives so much extra credit that you can do fine on the tests without reading. Mult. choice, T/F, and she likes to throw in little fill-in-the-blank charts.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:Anthropology - She is passionate about her subject and loves to see her students succeed!!! She curves tests and give LOTS OF EXTRA CREDIT. There's no way you can fail her class unless you just don't care. She is really nice and loves to teach. Definitely an enjoyable teacher.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1305 - She is easy. Just look over your notes a few days before and you'll be fine. Her test are LONG! So make sure you know it or you'll be late for whatever class you have next. and go to class and take notes.  - Grade In Class:B

Comments:1305 - awesome class! she is a great professor --go to class, take notes, and listen, your guaranteed a good grade! Her tests come straight from the powerpoints, and she gives lots of helpful tips on her tests! TAKE HER!  - Grade In Class:B+

Comments:1305 - I loved this class! I am a pre-med student and so I am used to studying all the time so this class was not bad at all! It is important to go to every lecture though. She doesn't post her powerpoints and a lot of test questions come from the lecture. I read the chapters in the book too but only the weekend before the test. She likes asking questions from the "case studies" in the chapters that everyone skips over because you don't think you need to read it, but you do! She is SO SWEET and her I learned a lot in her class! She is great!  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1305 - I loved her class! She is one of my favorite professors at Baylor. She's a very sweet, caring, and funny woman! Take her for Anthro.! She gives so much extra credit and she lets you reschedule all of your tests!  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:ant 1305 - this teacher is a crazy lady. first off its is SUPER BORING, if you can sit through one class and not want to hurt yourself then you get a medal. BUT STILL i took notes and studied super hard, I never got higher than a damn 80, i studied harder for this class than anything else in my life and im a Junior who has taken upper level sciences. Dont take this woman, she doesnt deserve your time, money, pencil lead on your scantron, or your interaction  - Grade In Class:C+

Comments:1305 - I took this class as a degree requirement for my major. Every day I took like 3-5 pages of notes straight from powerpoints. I wanted to kill myself during class because the lectures were so utterly boring. I studied extremely hard for the tests and never made above 84 on the tests. Now other people say they do well, but I consider myself a bright person but this class was way too hard for a freshman level mandatory class. Only 4 tests, each was 100 questions.   - Grade In Class:B

Comments:1305 - oh my...i thought these ratings were pretty reliable up until i read hers and took her class. my friends and i made a 4.0 fall semester and i took this class thinking it was going to be a blow off class. NOT. maybe our brains dont work that way...but i had to study for this class as much as my chemlab class. that wasnt suppose to happen. she's a nice lady, but she makes the tests hard. like you have to read EVERYTHING hard. i mean its possible to make an a, but what the heck...i honestly didn't think this class was going to take up that much time. what i'm trying to say..is DO NOT take this class if you can help it. go take economics or something. this was not worth the time.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:ANT 1305 - This is the most boring class I have ever taken and also my least favorite class ever. She is a nice lady but her lectures were ridiculously boring. We spent at least half of the semester talking about how humans evolved from apes so if you're into to that then this class might be interesting. Her tests were not too bad but they did rely heavily on the reading from the text book which I never did. They were multiple choice, matching and T/F. I'm sure an A is quite attainable in this class if you pay attention, go to class and do the required reading. I didn't do any of those things hence the B :)  - Grade In Class:B

Comments:1305 - very understanding and willing to work with students. Really fun, although i didnt do well she's very sweet and makes it interesting  - Grade In Class:C

Comments:1305 - Great professor! I would definitely recommend her...really sweet and tests arent too bad if you study all of the material.   - Grade In Class:B+

Comments:various ANT/ARC - I love Carol and her classes. She's so fun and will chat with you 'till the end of time if you let her. She does expect you to try, but likewise you have to try to fail her class. I've made A's in every single one of her classes and if I had any more ANT courses left, I'd take her again.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1305 - I loved this class. She lectures from powerpoint and its is so interesting! There are 4 tests, and she tells you to read the book in addition to the lecture, but I never did. The tests are multiple choice, matching, and true false. She is a great teacher and made this class so awesome! Take her!!!  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1301/4V16 - This woman is certifably INSANE. Not very helpful, and hard to get in touch with, but as far as material and testing go, she's easy enough. DO NOT take her field school unless you absolutely have to. She's moody and hypocritcal, and often lectures you on things that are unrelated to the topic you're studying. I wouldn't live with MaCaulay for another field school if someone PAID me! She's fine in a classroom, but don't attempt to survive living out of a tent for six weeks with this woman anywhere near you. It's not worth it.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1305 - Very easy class. You just have to study the powerpoints, add a couple additional notes, and read the chapters for the tests. She doesn't try to trick you on the tests so don't over think them. If you don't understand a question on the test GO UP TO HER AND ASK HER...she gives you subtle hints and possibly the answer. Silly and loves what she does, take her class. Watch the videos; some are interesting and one or two questions on the test come from the videos.   - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1305 - Craziest woman, easiest class ever. She's really passionate about what she teaches, unfortunately it's not always the most interesting stuff. She openly admits to being a hippie when she was younger, which definitely accounts for some of the loopy things that come out of her mouth. She'll stress the fact that you need to read your chapters, but if you copy all the stuff on her powerpoints, you'll be good to go. Grade is made up of 4 tests. Most of it is multiple choice, some parts at the end are T/F (she tells you she's not very good at lying, so if you don't know, go with True) and matching. We watched a few old documentaries throughout the semester. Take her if you have to take this class!  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1305 - Professor Macaully is a very nice teacher. No homework, just had 4 tests over the whole course. The exams were all multiple choice and very simple. She is interested in helping you and clearly passionate about Anthropology. If taking this course I would absolutely recommend her. She is a great teacher and the class is taught in the way every introductory/survey course should be.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:3302 - This women is nuts. She comes up with the weirdest things ever and expects you to follow her. Her class is set up seminar style ... which basicly means she gets paid to grade you on presentation and participation. The class goes in twos and each presents a ppt. on the topic your assigned...pretty boring and she can go on and on about a particular one. Only two test, final and midterm. Great thing is she lets you use the study guide on the test which are essay and idea - very easy. Bad thing is the study guide is about 9 pages long and you need to fill it all out yourself.   - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1305 - This is an easy slack-off class. Just watch out for the second test....it can ruin your grade like it did mine, if you don't do the review. She's a nice lady and very helpful. Once i asked her a question on a test and she pretty much went through all the choices with me helping me rule out the wrong ones! The 5 pop quizzes are also easy and she hints when they'll be. Group project is also easy. Take her!!  - Grade In Class:B+

Comments:1301 - Had her for Anthropology. I took it as a blowoff class, because everyone said she was so easy. She is nice, but she is not the easiest teacher in the world. Her second test was very hard. The last was easy and the first was medium. The projects are easy, of course, and it is wonderful not having a final. She is a very nice lady, but she is a little bit strange.  - Grade In Class:B

Comments:1305 - Very easy A. There are 5 quizzes, but she tells you what to read and sometimes before class she will ask you questions that will be on the quiz. There are three tests. All are very easy. Do the review sheet and study the night before and you will be fine. There is a group project assigned at the beginning of the semester. Some of the topics are hard to research. Overall, she is a very nice lady and a good professor. She loves to talk about women, sex, and fat. It's pretty entertaining.   - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1305 - This class is fairly easy. It consisted of three exams and a group project. The first and second test were a bit challenging, and the third test was easy. Although Macaulay is a nice and interesting woman, sometimes I'm not sure if she knows what shes talking about and just kind of makes up stuff as she goes along. There are 5 pop quizzes over reading material, but she gives you a hint the class period before. Also, she stopped posting powerpoint lectures on blackboard, so you'll have to write everything down, and its a LOT to write. The group project is simple as well. Overall, take this class if you want a pretty easy slack off class. She kind of reminds me of Phoebe from Friends...  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1305 - This class was so much fun. It made me want to major in anthro. she gave five pop quizzes but she would warn us ahead of time...she is so nice and funny. the class was awesome!!!  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1305 - This professor is rather easy. For exams, just do the study guide. Her lectures are all posted on powerpoint on Blackboard. She doesn't take attendence, except for whenever presentations start. Other than the presentations at the end of the year, and the reviews for her exam, there is no work. Her tests are multiple choice.  - Grade In Class:B+

Comments:1305 - She is very nice. Its not an easy A, but is definitely an easy B. I study the night before the tests for about 2 hours and usually got a B. The essay and group project are grade boosters and there is no final exam. Class is boring and I rarely attended.  - Grade In Class:B+

Comments:1305 - This class was awesome, but I am an Anthropology major. She covers a lot of material and the second test is supposed to be the hardest, but I scored higher on it then the first one. You don't have any homework, but you do need to read this one book and write a paper on it, but it only took me a few hours one Saturday. You do need to read and study if you want a B or an A. I recommened filling out her study guides, they are very helpful. It's really not that easy of a class, but you can pass it with a 70 without reading.   - Grade In Class:B+

Comments:1305 - Prof Macaulay is a really sweet lady. She really is. She's really laid back and means very well. In all reality, she probably smoked a lot of something in the 70's. She's not a particularly good teacher but a very personable lady. There is almost no work in this class- one presentation and three tests. Do study for the tests- especially the 2nd one. I definitely recommend this class if you like slacking off for a month before cramming for each exam.   - Grade In Class:A

Comments:Anthropology - Prof. Maucauly was very good in all the aspects of the classroom. She goes over everything in the class and makes sure that you understand before she moves on to the next subject. At the beginning of the semester she hands out a group project to be done as the final. She also hands out her home phone number to call day or night, if you have any questions at all. She is truly the ideal professor that I was looking for!  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1305 - This class was super easy. I NEVER had to prepare for the class, and she always covered all the material that was going to be on the test (no teaching myself). No final, just 2 tests and a project. She really works with you if you talk to her before/after class. Sweetest lady ever!  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1305 - This class is great. No final and you have 3 tests then a group project. Take her, TAKE HER! She's also an interesting lady and will keep you entertained in the class!  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1305 - She is an excellent professor. Her lectures were well organized and concise. There are two tests and one group project. The tests are straight forward and multiple choice. She posts all of her notes and powerpoints on Blackboard. Definitely take her for 1305, she's awesome.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1305 - The class consists of 2 major exams (multiple-choice) and one group project. The first test covered a large expanse of material and was fairly challenging, the second test was easy even without studying much, and the group project didn't require much effort or time. You don't have to read the textbook to do well, but I would suggest reading the assigned essays because they appear on the test. Overall, the class requires very little preparation time, and there is several opportunities for extra credit throughout the semester. Classtime consists of going through powerpoint slides, which are then posted on Blackboard. The downside to the class is that it is incredibly boring.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1305 - Excellent teacher, makes the class very entertaining. she is very enthusiastic for what she teaches. her class actually convinced me to change my major to anthropology. gives lots of extra credit and makes very helpfull power point presentations, which are about all you need to know for the tests. be sure to read the P&B articles as she does have several questions over those on the tests. the final presentations are fun and simple. take her.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1305 - She is the cutest teacher ever, she brings in music from different cultures and plays it at the beginning of class. She only gives two tests and a really easy group project (no final) and she's just really sweet and genuine. Her class is great! There is some studing involved, but just take a few notes and you'll do great, and do all the extra credit (she gives a ton) you'll surely do well in this class!  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1305 - You dont have to read.. this class is a breeeze.. take for an easy A...  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1305 - Easy A class... NO Final .. 2 tests!! .. TOns of extra credit!!! (Literally TONS!!)..   - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1305 - Easy A all the Way.. NO reading >>> A LOT OF EXTRA CREDIT!!.... EASY EASY CLASS..>>> TAKE HER!!!!!   - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1305 - VERY EASY CLASS! This lady is so nice and extremely helpful. She will do anything to help you out. The lectures are kind of boring sometimes, but she gives handouts every week of what will be covered and they include questions that are very helpful for the exam. She believes in lots of extra credit and the project due at the end of the semester is really easy. The tests are not bad at all either. I barely read anything. She also basically tells you what's on the test. The only downfall is that almost every test was a different style, but usually there was some sort of take home part included. If you have to or want to take Anthropology TAKE THIS TEACHER.   - Grade In Class:A

Comments:Intro to Anthropology - She is a really sweet lady. Her lectures aren't that bed. She's really excited and interested in what she's teaching. There isn't homework or quizzes and the tests are pretty easy (she tells you exactly what to study). Some of the tests are even take home essays or assignments that are really quickly done. There is a project due at the end of semester, but she makes it as easy as possible for you.   - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1305 - Easy class, I have not read one thing. we have take home test, and if we are having class test ahe gives us questions on the test to study from. She ecepts late work and is very nice. Her leatures are boring. We have a project due at the end of the sem. but it is easy.  - Grade In Class:A
