First off, this was the course I used to determine on whether I wanted to pursue a minor in anthropology, and needless to say, I'm convinced. Professor Cattelino was great, and every reading was interesting.
I really enjoyed discussing topics in discussion during class, but felt like there was not enough of that. I feel as though it is easier to grasp concepts when people share their own experiences. I thought lectures were pretty engaging and full of great material.
Overall I really enjoyed this class. A lot of people said that there were too many readings, and while I agree that it was a lot (each week's readings took a good chunk of my weekend), they were almost all worth it. I thought that the essay prompts were kind of fun to write almost, and were very thought provoking.

I'm sure a lot of people liked this class, but for me it just wasn't it. I thought that a lot of the topics were very surface level and not explored in sufficient or satisfying amounts of depth.

Cattelino is a pretty organized professor, who regularly reaches out over email with announcements and assignment guidelines. The course is very easy, with weekly quizzes about the reading to check your knowledge. It did feel like the course was very general and sometimes self-explanatory if you've taken other humanities classes with themes about intersectionality, etc., however.

Cattelino is a good professor compared to most GE professors. She is very nice and willing to help. The class is pretty straightforward and easy... exams were easy and I scored As on them without much work. The essays were the most difficult part... talk to your TAs about your ideas beforehand to make sure you are on the right track. Overall, a good, interesting, and fairly easy course.

Dr. Cattelino is amazing! I loved her class. She is a great lecturer, and the class is very interesting. If you are looking for an interesting GE than you have found your class! This class helped me to look at the world differently and though the reading can be a bit intense at times, the class is totally worth the effort and Dr. Cattelino never fails to make lectures awesome.

Professor Cattelino is a decent professor.
I wouldn't say she is fantastic like the other evaluation says, but she is better than most GE professors around...
-pretty clear and concise
-willing to help you understand topics
-tries to keep the information we learn relative

The thing I really loved about the class was that she posts her lectures online, although to really understand what shes talking about you need to go to class, but it's easy to get a general knowledge.

Definitely do the readings though, and last thing
I honestly think that a HUGE portion your grade depends on the TAs.

Two papers and one final (one paper is a "field" paper which sucks but whatever).

Professor Cattelino was super nice and always willing to help. The class material was pretty interesting and the books were all weird (but fun) reads. She also showed lots of videos and stuff in class that complemented the class well. The papers were graded kind of tough but that was more the TAs then her. Overall, a solid class.

Professor Cattelino is fantastic. She teaches in a conversational style, often bringing in relevant modern day examples to supplement concepts that she's teaching in class. I took Anthro 9 as a GE. It was relatively easy and I'm not considering minoring in Anthro. Definitely recommend her as a professor. I also went to office hours one time just to talk; she's extremely friendly and welcoming.
