Comment:

He is a good guy but he doesn't normally teach this course so he made it very boring. He stood in front of us and read out of the textbook, and paused every 5 seconds. He has no idea what he is talking about. He plays stupid movies for the second half of class.

doesn't use slides, doesn't engage students let alone look up. So if you have a question and put up your hand, good luck with that. #NoCap #SorryNotSorry If you genuinely hate yourself and want to be talked at for 3 hours, take a course with this prof.

AMAZING prof! Would take one of his courses again in a heartbeat! I had taken an intro course of his in first year and he took my anthro class last minute when my prof was put on leave and he handled it super well! He is so down to earth, funny, easy to understand and learn from and he just speaks to the class like they are real people!

Great prof, cool guy. Likes to show documentaries for second half of night lectures which is a nice break. He was also very accommodating when I had a exam conflict.

Great prof if you want an easy grade. Tests are easy and assignments are even easier, lectures can get a bit boring but I was also in the 3 hour class so that didn't help. Take his anth1150 class if you want an easy A

He's a really good prof! I had him for 3 hours at night and he managed to keep my attention for the most part! An excellent choice and if I can, I will DEFINITELY be taking his class again! Beware: you have to pay attention to what he is saying as he uses unorganized "chalkboard notes" which are just a bunch of words. Funny and tests are fair

Super down to Earth and an overall great guy. He relates with students without trying too hard. He also gives out a decent amount of easy marks such as for posting in weekly discussions.

One of my favourite professors. So funny and down to earth his lectures are great but can be dense. Just listen attentively and show up and the class should be a breeze. He's really easy to talk to and is helpful, respectful and very easy to understand. Wish he taught more courses!

Comment:

Professor Gulewitsch is an incredibly knowledgeable and passionate anthropologist that wants to see his students succeed. He has a sense of humour and is very understanding and approachable. Plus, it was very inspiring to hear his own personal experiences and work. Overall, I would easily take another class with him in the future.

He is a true Gem and a respected anthropologist! Laid back, fascinating course and passionate. I will try to take every course I can with Victor Gulewitsch! Also, he is approachable and wants the best for his students. He tells you what will be in exam and lecture heavy with his notes - which are great anyway. An online op-ed and weekly posts.

Comment:

Victor was a great professor. Lectures were interesting and engaging, a feat considering the subject. Lectures were sometimes difficult to follow, however he typically stressed the info which would be tested. Exams and testing is extremely lecture heavy, with little coming from the readings. Overall, great professor and interesting course.

Did not understand one lecture I went to or how he literally wrote random things on a piece of paper instead of using powerpoint. Found the prof and the course very confusing and learned more at home with the textbook.

Comment:

Dry sense of humour but god damn is it funny. Will very bluntly and calmly says something that triggers a shock-value reaction from the class. Easy class - just look at the little bubbles in the margins of the textbook and you will pass with at least a 70.

Comment:

Victor was easily one of the best professors I've had. He clearly has a passion for anthropology as you can tell from his lectures, and he adds a lot of humour. He's a very quotable person (he says a lot of unexpectedly hilarious things). The content is also really easy/interesting. Only thing I didn't like is that he'd often get off topic/ramble.
