Comment:

He's got the most calming,soft voice- a super odd juxtaposition as he's describing these detailed macabre theories on the dark meanings behind fairy tales and the fascination with suicide cults. Exams are doable if you pay attention in class (which isn't hard to do). Oh! and he brought us breakfast (coffee, donuts) during our A.M final. win.

This guys passion alone is enough to make you take his class no matter the subject. A wonderful relief to someone required to take ANTH100, definitely a must have prof. And try to get Ryan Plis as a TA. He's really helpful.

A wonderful professor! He's easy to pay attention to, and that's really all you need to do to pass the class. He tends to pick really interesting TAs, too. He's not a flexible person, though. Don't expect much help from him directly.

Comment:

overall a great professor. He is quite entertaining and always tries his best to respond to questions/grades. However, the quizzes seemed to be a bit off at times. one thing - don't really have to use books -just pay attention/ read online lecture notes for a solid B. But if you want that A you might want to read the book. Overall great professor:)

Comment:

Great speaker, great lecturer, great professor. Extremely knowledgeable, funny (as long as you love lame corny jokes like I do), and well-prepared for each lecture. He's passionate about the subject matter and, most helpfully of all, his expectations for students are extremely clear and understandable. Take his classes!

Awesome Prof. The only part that sucks is that it is at 8:30 am. And if he can make a class that early in the morning both interesting and fun... he must be doing a pretty good job.

prof is hilariously funny and a down to earth father-type. he teaches with passion and has a reputational background. i only wish he had room for undergraduate mentoring and projects! his lectures on neofreudism are the best!!

Buckser is the best teacher I've ever had. He's extremely articulate and interesting. Going to his classes was awesome because he was always saying something profound and thoroughly interesting. He makes corny jokes, but I thought they were funny and loved all of his classes, I took as many as I could-4 or 5.

Great Class! I knew nothing about Anthropology and he made it very easy. He gives you enough info at the beginning of class that you don't need to go to class each time. He doesn't take attendance

I believe the class was too difficult for being a 100 level. On the other hand, Prof. Buckser was good and made Anthropology very interesting.
