Comment:

This was the most frustrating class I've taken, expects you to read absolutely everything like the previous person stated not friendly for non-native English speaker. Majority of the quiz questions are tricky and have a lot of typos. I wish he was more straightforward with his questions.

Overall, this is a decent class and it's not terribly hard online. However, I often get 100% on my tests in a lot of other classes. But so far I've gotten only 100% on one test out of 3 this semester. There are a lot of typos in the tests, and even incorrectly graded questions (which he later fixed). One assignment every two weeks (quiz) is nice!!!

Wow! I got to retake this class again! I went in that online summer class thinking that I would have an easy A, but no! This class was very frustrating, particularly for the non-native English speakers. His quizzes were worded strangely and confusing, plus the given time werent enough. For instance, he gave 25 questions for 40 mins, that!!!

Dr. guyton is a great person and even through an online class you can see his passion for anthropology and that he just wants to share that passion! he gives small extra credit on quizzes, and is Very helpful and willing to meet you halfway. My only gripe is that his quizzes are worded strangely and that makes them difficult.

He's a fun professor! The textbook was technically mandatory, but it was mostly supplemental and I only used mine once, so if you plan on going to all lectures, then I wouldn't bother with the book. Attendance isn't technically mandatory, but it definitely helps, because a lot of the quizzes are highly detailed.

Professor Guyton inspired me to major in anthropology! He is a kind, knowledgeable person who is not looking to fail anyone! If you take good notes you won't even need the book, his tests are easy enough & he is serious about helping during office hours, if you need. Great class, great teacher!

Comment:

He can be funny and his lectures are good. He was not very nice to a student he didn't like and talked about that student openly in a unprofessional way. As long as you're quiet, participate here and there, and do the work, you'll be set.

Comment:

Harder than the average sociology class. Must use book for reading. Lectures are boring, but he is a great person but the class is very boring. Test can make you think it's a psych class and although it's multiple choice, he tries to confuse you. You must study and read and go over his notes. You will have to see for yourself to understand.

I remember last semester I had professor Guyton as my socialogy teacher for being in the honors class. He makes socialogy so interesting and deep. When I say interesting and deep I means he talks about the world in general. He talks about unemployment rates, proverty, gun shooting etc). I would recommend you to take his class and take good notes.

The pinnacle of a teacher, absolutely fantastic. Classes are fun, engaging, and you actually learn something you will find yourself thinking about and mentioning again and again. Take Anthropology with Guyton and you won't regret it.

Professor Guyton provided an excellent course. I really enjoyed this class and wish he offered other courses that I needed to take. He was very clear on what was expected of you and what was on your exams. The activity report was the absolute best! Be prepared to read a lot though, it is interesting stuff, because your exams are very detailed.

Professor is really nice. Class is easy but the exams are fairly hard. Timed so you have maybe a minute per question and can be worded tricky. The assignment is a walk in the park, final is all in the study guide he gives.

He's fair, and I found very interesting. Sort of deep but trying to show how the subject is important to your life. Some good class discussion. He's always prepared and try's to make material interesting. Likable too.

His lectures can be a little boring sometimes, but he's a great teacher and sort of makes up for it with his personality. Helpful, and curves the grade when needed.

Professor Guyton is a great teacher! He's extremely passionate about Anthropology and will lecture the whole class period. Article quizzes, projects and 4 tests that are all multiple choice and based on lecture (but the questions are a little tricky so pay attention!). Overall, a great experience. I would take him again!

Comment:

he is probably my favorite teacher i've had thus far. the class is extremely interesting and mr. guyton is very clear about teaching you what is on the test. if you attend class, listen to what he has to say, and take competent notes you will probably get an A if not a high B. I will certainly take him again.
