Quarter: Fall 2023
Grade: A+

I was speaking with my roommate last night about finals and this class and she asked me to repeat the class' name to her. Upon repeating the title she said "I know that this has been your least stressful class this quarter because I have not heard about it until right now." Which, I believe is the best way to sum up this class. I'll be frank, as an anthro major, I really don't like archaeology. But I think that Dr. Neubauer knows that a lot of people share that same sentiment, and so she tries to make it as engaging and interesting as possible without it all being about digging up bones. Her exams and assignments are all very fair and easy as long as you're keeping up with readings and attending lecture. She comes into class everyday well-dressed and ready to present. Her lectures are well-organized and easy to follow along. She is funny, engaging, and really wants to share her passion for decolonization in academia. I firmly believe that even if I was not an anthro student, this class would have made me want to switch majors. Thanks to Dr. Neubauer for being responsive, kind, fair, knowledgable, and for slaying every single day.

Dr. Neubauer is my favorite professor at UCLA after taking this class. She is so knowledgeable and cares a lot about the subject and her students. The course was divided into two quizzes, a short paper and a research paper+debate. All the assignments are manageable as long as you come to lecture and complete the readings (which are usually quite interesting). She offers a lot of extra credit that can boost your grade up to two ranges (B+ to A). She also notes that if you participate in class and care about your grade, she might even boost it to three ranges! Take this class you won't be disappointed, as long you somewhat have an interest for archaeology.

Quarter: Fall 2022
Grade: A+

Excellent class. Very easy A, very good lecturer. The first multiple choice was out of 27 but she said anyone who got 25 got 100%. The papers are easy the only difficulty is they are so short and you have to reference 3+ sources on 1 page double spaced. She says they are this short because she is the only grader. She would benefit from a TA as students cannot really make an argument in such a short paper.

There is a lot of reading, 2-4 papers a week ranging from 4 pages to 100 so just be wary. Each paper has a McQ question in the quiz and some are simple like ‘what is their main argument’ and others are far harder like ‘which group did the author study to investigate the trend’. You can skim them but it’s best to take notes. Only 1 class I’m the quarter requires participation.

The class has a very good atmosphere mainly because the lecturer is so nice. She is funny and clear her slides are excellent. I learnt a lot.

Grade: A

Professor Neubaeur was great! I honestly was hesitant when I enrolled in her class because she had no reviews and she is new to UCLA, but this class was amazing! Very very easy to get an A, there are also two short extra credit papers you can do to bump your grade but I didn't even need them. There are two quizzes and two papers, with one of the papers being 45% of your grade along with 5% of a debate participation based on that paper. She grades superrr leniently and is very fair. The quizzes were open note and based on the readings and powerpoint lectures she had. As long as you do all the assignments you won't get less than an A.
