What Feedback Do You Have For Me Or Future Students? by https://padlet.com/maryswearinger/wphq3l2hebnjlw6y en-us 2024-05-06 02:57:13 UTC 2026-05-17 03:28:43 UTC hello@padlet.com Emails/Inbox https://padlet.com/maryswearinger/wphq3l2hebnjlw6y/wish/3433393420 I wish that you'd be a little better at responding to emails. I understand that you also have a life outside of being a professor, but considering this was an online class, it'd be nice if you could actually answer questions on time. Sometimes me and my classmates would have to improvise on assignments because we didn't understand things.

You definitely will be prepared for the quizzes each week and the final exam! For the professor, providing feedback on assignments would be great. It would definitely help students identify areas for improvement on their assignments or clarify challenging concepts. :)

Take the time to read or listen to the PowerPoints. If you need to rewatch PP or the book do so. Don't be afraid to voice out your concerns, if you don't understand it.

I to this day have no idea what I could have done better on the DNA extraction lab.

This made me improve on a few assignments I was struggling with. Also, future students take notes and read everything carefully.

Biological anthropology isn’t just about studying bones and fossils, it’s about understanding how humans have changed over time. You will learn about primates, human evolution, and genetics.

Biological anthropology isn’t just about studying bones and fossils, but it’s about understanding how humans have changed over time. You will study about many topic such as primates, human evolution, and genetics and a lot more.

They explain complex ideas clearly, and going over them carefully really helps everything click.

Reading the material provided too. Having the professor explain more in depth in the lecture videos truly helped me with this course. Staying up to date with everything and viewing things in a timely manner & completeing them in a timely manner as well also helps a lot.

]]> 2025-07-25 02:26:19 UTC https://padlet.com/maryswearinger/wphq3l2hebnjlw6y/wish/3528296262 Advice https://padlet.com/maryswearinger/wphq3l2hebnjlw6y/wish/3529010019 This course was challenging, especially with all the readings and the long videos we had to watch at times. I advice that future students should try and prepare a day or two before assignments are due to better understand the course material for that week. Take notes, ask questions, and don’t feel afraid to reach out to your professor for help.

Keep in mind why we are given a specific amount of time. Make sure you have throughly read the text, gone through the power points and have taken the quiz to create the best response for a weekly discussion. Overall create a schedule that works for you.

Read the chapters and turn in your assignments on time. I liked it when you put the lecture video and a PowerPoint; it makes more sense of what we have to accomplish. Things that can be approved include identifying the assignment and what has been done, or clarifying challenging concepts presented. Overall, a fantastic professor, well-explained on Canvas and in the book.

]]> 2025-11-28 21:02:11 UTC https://padlet.com/maryswearinger/wphq3l2hebnjlw6y/wish/3702723694 Feedback for Professor. https://padlet.com/maryswearinger/wphq3l2hebnjlw6y/wish/3713545861 The textbook chapters do not line up with the weekly assignments. I found myself searching for the correct textbook chapters just to make sense of the lectures. Audio for lectures could be improved and minimize the movement of the pointer. Dates for assignments throughout the course need updating. Some clarity in instructions for some of the assignments would help. I will say that this course was very informative, I definitely have learned so much about our history.

]]> 2025-12-07 23:00:51 UTC https://padlet.com/maryswearinger/wphq3l2hebnjlw6y/wish/3713545861 Feedback for Future Students https://padlet.com/maryswearinger/wphq3l2hebnjlw6y/wish/3713550881 This is a dense course with lots of information. Prioritize your schedule so you don't take this course with other difficult college courses. I can say from personal experience that if you're a slow reader or not a stronger writer, this course can be challenging. I spent a lot of time just reading before I could even attempt a 150-200 word answer. Stay ahead as much as you can. I understand family, work and other college courses can make it difficult but if I was able to get through it so can you. Good luck future students.

It is less stressful, and you won't have to force yourself to cram work in a short amount of time. READ THE POWERPOINT AND THE TEXTBOOK it is a lot of information, but the work is simple and can be interesting! If you have any questions or concerns, and reach out to the professor, she can be really helpful!

There have been times where I completely forgotten to do our discussion posts, and I wanted to make it up with extra credit but had only seen one option available during the entire semester and I couldn't complete it due to the due date! In the future, allow your students to have an option to make up work in case they miss an assignment!


Another case is to leave feedback on the future students' writing assignments! This semester, I always wanted to know what part of my writing docked by points weather if it is from the way it was formatted or the way I cited my work.

You will learn a lot but also have to put in the work. Emails were an issue sometimes not getting a response. Pay attention to dates no late work is excepted. It is a pretty heavy workload for a one-unit class.

Definitely do the readings and view the lectures. Exams and paper are very doable as long as you organize yourself and immerse in the materials given. No study guide was given for the exam, but honestly doing the discussion posts helped a lot with summarizing materials and studying.

This class can be a lot if you leave it last minute.

The professor makes the class super fun, and you learn a lot of new things everytime.

The weekly discussions helped me understand the topics better. For future students, I'd recommend keeping up with the readings because everything connects from week to week. Overall, it was a great learning experience.

]]> 2025-12-12 20:02:09 UTC https://padlet.com/maryswearinger/wphq3l2hebnjlw6y/wish/3721029499 Feedback / Future students https://padlet.com/maryswearinger/wphq3l2hebnjlw6y/wish/3721044506 The assignments were due at such an awkward time for a non-scheduled online class, 5pm on a Friday is a bit unusual. Following this, for a one-unit course I find that the course is pretty heavy when it comes to the workload in comparison to other courses including 1, 3, and 4 unit courses. Overall I was a huge fan of the book, and the interactive activities, I learned so much and I am hooked on the idea of biocultural anthropology. For future students, I would say this course has great material there is a lot to learn. You will need to make an effort to stay ahead in order to work efficiently in your other courses as well as to prepare for projects. Take notes, take time to read, communicate with the professor.

This especially affected me because I work from 8–5 p.m. Monday through Sunday due to being on call, and it caused me a lot of stress at times. However, I can say that this class was very enjoyable, and the professor always responded to me on time whenever I had questions or issues. It was a pretty heavy assignment load for a one-credit class, but overall I enjoyed it very much.

The lectures were clear and helped connect the concepts together. For future students, I would suggest staying organized and reviewing a little each week since everything builds on each other. Overall, this was a very interesting and informative class.

I don't have much constructive feedback besides email responses, but I believe those got improved over time. I would maybe put more emphasis on the slideshows rather than the textbook. The textbook chapters are quite long, and we're mostly being tested on what is word-for-word in the slideshows, so maybe put more emphasis that the textbook is a helpful tool.

You delivered! The lectures paired with the PPT's were perfect resources for me. It is apparent that this is your passion-- both teaching and Anthropology.

Keep well organized notes, save the transcripts to the lecture videos and incorporate into your study guide. Add a few hours a week to whatever you had planned. You've got this.

I like the way Ms. Mary taught the class because she made videos for the lectures to make it easier for us to understand. Future students I do recommend you have an open mind when taking this class but also have a schedule and time to do your assignments, on time. Overall, I enjoyed taking this course and more because Ms. Mary is a great professor who clearly and fairly taught and graded the work.
