Comment:
He has an extensive knowledge of anthropology. I would recommend his class if you are actually interested in the topic. He has been an expert in this field since the 1960's. The lectures are a bit dry, but lots of good info. And he does not like disruptions during class. Turn off the freakin' phone or the lecture will never continue.

Comment:
Heavy on reading and you can't hope to pass if you don't read. Comes late every day and keeps you after every day without fail. Extremely boring to listen to, but knowledgable of his subjects. Shows videos a lot, at other times lectures are note-heavy. Gives out extra credit like it's candy.

Comment:
VERY BORING! Knows his stuffs, but is one of the few professors who constantly puts me to sleep. 8 times out of 10 he'll be late and 9 times out of 10 he'll keep you after the class. Test are hard and off point, including the essay portion. Very generous with extra credit though.

Class is boring and will keep you as long as he can. Arrives late often. Tests are very difficult with detailed questions. Extra credit was given generously. I recommend talking this class only if you NEED it.

Comment:
He is a nice guy with a boring teaching style. He stands at the podium and lectures in a monotone voice. The topic could be really interesting but I find myself bored most of class. If you read the 2 or 3 books that he assigns then you will do fine. I'll probably take another one of his classes for the easy grade.

Comment:
I have taken every class offered by Dr. Nachman. His lecturing is straightforward and informative, with amusing dry humour throughout. Lots of notes to take, and usually 3-4 smaller books per class. Tests are easy enough; short answer with some identification/definitions and essays. Quizzes on every book, separate from but counted towards tests. Somewhat impersonal, but he gets you to think.

Comment:
Drags the lesson until the very last second of class every day. Not consistent: switched up the way he teaches half way through the semester. Tests have irrelevant questions on them. Boring to listen to, doesn't try to make the class interesting. The grades were only 4 tests with only 1 extra credit opportunity. I wouldn't suggest taking him.

Comment:
not a great professor. the class has a lot of great material, but his bland monotone approach to a multicultural america will have you nodding off. not to mention the text. it's very long, draining, and bland. the tests are long, and seem irrelevant based on given text and lectures. i dropped him before it was too late. no opps for extra credit.

Comment:
The guy is a good teacher but he expects a lot from you. When i took him I had to buy 2 or 3 books and he had the class read more then half of each. He also really likes in-class discussions and gets pissy when the answer is wrong/if no one talks. He does try to tell really cheesey jokes. The tests were generally easy just pay attention and read.

Comment:
Not a difficult class and is actually semi interesting. He is not particularly nice(especially if you say dumb things or disrupt)But I learned a lot and actually enjoyed the class. It was pretty easy, TAKE NOTES in class, everything he covers and you'll do fine otherwise you'll fail. At least skim the reading because he puts of people on the spot

He's not a bad professor, it's just a lot of reading and the tests are all short answer and essays. He tries to joke, but fails miserably with his dry humor. I found that in itself, however, hilarious. Topics are interesting, but he's generally dry.

Not the best teacher I've had so far. He's deff boring and tells cheesy jokes. Drags out clss till last second. Alot of reading and attendance is mandatory. Could care less about his students. Expects alot from you and a lot of effort if he feels you arent putting in effort he will let you know. I'm never taking another class from him!

Comment:
Deffinately not one of my favorite teachers. From personal experiences I've had with him, he's not caring at all. He grades his tests in pencil which is rediculous. If you dont take notes on the books you wont do well. He tends to stare off into space and tells really cheezy jokes. He takes attendance every class.

Comment:
Cultures/Illness/Curing: Despite his sometimes sleep-inducing Ben Stein voice, he likes to slip jokes into his lectures, so pay attention. Corny or not, they helped keep me focused. He has easy tests, if you read the books. Yes, he assigns 3-4 books, but excluding one of them, they were interesting. Safe bet: (# of Pages / Days until test) + 2
