Emilia Guevara ANTH210 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/15/2024	Super easy course. Ended up doing the bare minimum and I'm still ending with an A+. The class consists of 12 weekly responses which have a 250 word limit and online midterm and an online final. Attendance wasn't mandatory so I didn't go to class at all and still managed to do good. Can't recommend this class enough for an easy gened
Emilia Guevara ANTH210 Anonymous 12/05/2024	Dr. Guevara is incredibly kind and accommodating. The course consists of weekly reading responses and two online exams. Attendance is not required but Dr. Guevara will remember if you show up and participate. The course is fairly reading heavy so be prepared to cover ~40-90 pages per week, but the readings are usually engaging. I would especially recommend this course to any Marxists out there who are interested in learning about global health through a critical (fairly anti-imperialist) lens.
Andrea Lopez ANTH210 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/03/2024	I'm a STEM major and took this class to satisfy a general education requirement. I didn't think I would get much out of ANTH210, but I was surprised by how much I learned about social issues and medical history. It was a nice break from my heavy math and science classes, and the assignments and exams were easy so long as you did the readings (they were also open-book and notes). Professor Lopez was also friendly, helpful, and very understanding of students. My TA Katherine was also very friendly and responded to emails quickly. While social issues aren't my area of interest, I would happily recommend this class to any STEM majors who need a gen ed that's interesting and easy.
Andrea Lopez ANTH210 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 10/13/2024	I love Dr. Lopez, she is truly the best professor I have ever had at UMD. She is so passionate about her work and is so caring about all her students. If you have the slightest interest in medical anthropology or anthropology in general, you HAVE to take a course with Dr. Lopez, you won't regret it.

If you are someone who is passionate about social issues in relation to healthcare and science, take her class!!! You will not regret it. Not much work, other than readings before class (which can be pretty dense, but manageable) and a few midterms which we basically get the answers to during a review session in discussion.
Andrea Lopez ANTH210 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/24/2023	Super cool woman and amazing professor. She is truly so passionate about her work and absolutely loves teaching about it to her students. She keeps all the topics very relevant and manages to break down really big anthropological ideas and dense readings into key concepts everyone can understand. She is also just so eloquent and speaks incredibly well in front of a room so her lectures are insightful and helpful. Dr. Lopez encourages students to share their thoughts during lecture and engages meaningfully with each student's input no matter what it is. She also just genuinely cares about her students. We had a tragic loss in our class during the semester and the way she handled it and responded to it showed just how much she supports us and prioritizes our well-being over anything else. The class's workload was light, all the powerpoints were posted, and the midterm and final were open-internet so overall a super easy A as long as you just do the work. Most students enter not even knowing what anthropology is, but Dr. Lopez's class will give you new perspective on the world and make you think differently about health and our healthcare systems.
