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.

Winter 2021 - I took this class online due to the pandemic. The workload is fairly high and the material is pretty dense. Homeworks were usually a 2 page (Double space) write up of a subject using one or two peer reviewed articles. There was a 5-7 page research paper on a topic of your choosing that was actually pretty engaging. Midterm and final were short answer, short essay, and an essay. Open resources. Communication via email was poor. Grading was reasonable, not nit picky. Overall a fun class but necessarily an easy A.
