Comment:
His lectures are very all over the place, but as long as you take good notes you'll do great. Along with the exams being really easy too and he tends to put questions from the last exam in the new one so studying the material helps, and he doesn't like deadlines for papers which is a plus.

Comment:
He is a very intelligent man but not a good teacher. He is very scatterbrained and I feel very lost when it comes to the exams. The tests are made up of true & false fill in the blank. Do not take it if you don't need it.

Very good professor. If you don't understand he is more than willing to explain if you ask, and is willing to meet to discuss papers or questions. He's not easy, but if you study you can do well!

Be prepared for hard tests, a lot of note taking, and lengthy homework assignments! If you need a gen. ed. credit find something a lot easier!

Comment:
Alright. Completely not focused in his lectures at ALL. He goes from one thing to the other and pulls things from God knows where. By the end of class the board is full of random facts that dont relate to one another. AND his voice consists of exactly three pitches... thank God he isnt a singer ....

Class was interesting, the books were terrible. With all the writing required in this class, it should count as a Writing Intensive course.

the guy makes class such a bore and his tests are about impossible to get done. you gotta be kidding me, i didn't think anthro would be fun, but this is bad. and also, who would open their mouth to talk to him, the guy disagrees with everything said.

Loved his class. might have been boring at parts, but you learn A LOT. Tests were easy. Guest of the Sheik and the Bushmen books were extremely interesting.

Without a doubt the worst prof I've had at LVC. Makes no sense, tests are ridiculously nitpicky, and is really boring to boot. Unrealistic workload for a gen-ed class.
