A great class to take for learning about human evolution. She is a first rate professor and even if you do write a lot of notes in class, thats what you expect, better than some classes where all you do is stare at the wall and wait for it to end. The paper assignment though is very tough. I took it for CR/NCR just so I could enjoy the class and not be stressed out.

Spring 2023 - i was nervous to take this class with Dr. Rashidi because of the previous reviews, but idk what happened during the pandemic bc I LOVE DR RASHIDI. she is so kind, so helpful, and so intelligent. this was my favorite anthro class i have ever taken at ucla. she is engaging during class and knows her stuff! she's always available at her office hours and explains things really well. yes, she can talk fast during lectures sometimes, but she records them so all the information is easy to access on canvas! the course comprised of a midterm, a final, a research paper, and a few very simple homework assignments. the instructions for the homework she assigns are very clear, and you can go to her anytime during office hours to ask clarification questions. she gives you so much time to think about your research paper and a lot of the homework assignments were designed to help you outline the essay so you aren't swamped at the end. (ex: one homework assignment was literally just our research question/hypothesis, another was 2 sources, another was the essay outline, etc.! super helpful!). the material is super interesting and the midterm & final were very fair and reflective of the lectures and slides. i really recommend this class, i learned (and retained! lol!) so much, and Dr. Rashidi is just the sweetest person ever.
