One of the best professors at UCLA. She cares a lot for her students and actually makes an effort to learn peoples' names. How many teachers can you say that about. It really says a lot about her. Her lectuers are very interesting, and well organized. She starts the day with an outline of what she is going to talk about. She has been criticized for being a little dry. This is sometimes true, but relative to other teachers she is not. We did have a good amount of reading, but it was all interesting material. If you are an anthro major this class is essential for future success in the field. Take this with her, and any other class she offers. She is always at office hours and will always make appointments if you want to. She is also EXTREMELY easy to talk with outside of class. It never felt like I was talking with my professor, but it felt like I was talking with a friend.
