This was a very easy elective to fulfill a global health requirement. The readings were interesting, but the information was not very valuable. Moreover, the lectures were very boring and slow at times.
Professor Tran was very passionate about what she teaches. There was a good amount of reading but it was put to use in penpal emails and class discussions. These emails helped you know your classmates and make the class a more engaging space.
I hadn't read any of the reviews before taking this course... and honestly, for the better! I highly recommend everyone to give this course a chance. I've come out of this course with a lifelong appreciation for anthropologists and their fieldwork, and have gathered methods and lessons on how to analyze my own personal communities. Professor Stoll is extremely knowledgable on the discipline of anthropology and assigned some of the most fascinating readings to date. Of course, this class is challenging -- but challenging in the sense that there's heavy readings and lots of notes. Professor Stoll spells out the information and takeaway you need to know for exams during lectures and discussions in addition to crafting extremely fair quizzes and exams. As long as you pay attention and have a passion for the subject, Stoll will ensure that you know all the information by heart.
