Comment:

This class is not the archaeology of the United States, it is the archaeology of us, as in people. Small one page paper due every week in class. Never hands any homework back, final paper due at end of semester and you have to present it with a posterboard. Kind of unorganized but a good class overall. and if its nice you can have class outside!

Comment:

Martin is way too smart for his own good - you feel like you are in the presence of greatness, but it is a little hard to follow his train of thought (especially with the heavy accent). Basically, it is worth the effort to try to understand him because he has a lot to offer intellectually. And I had a crush on him.

Comment:

seemed kind of intimidating, but turned out not to be so later. he truly wanted the students to interpret and question information. a fair, even overly-fair grader in my opinion

Comment:

Wobst taught me to think like a professional. He is a teacher you respect and so one you do not want to fail. He expects high quality work, and you try your best, and do your best. But he is understanding in grading. He made a big difference to me.
