Comment:

He is never complete in telling you all of what he expects for the class. As a result, the majority of the class is left to fill in the blanks for ourselves. If you dont provide what he wants, he picks it apart and tries to belittle you. Misinterpret him and he'll attack you for it Other negative reviews will concur. very vague expectations AVIS

Quizzes in this class are easy if you go to class and not difficult at all. Make sure not to skip class. We used the book a lot during exercises. If you do all the work, easy A.

Comment:

Hes a funny older guy. When we told him he got a hot chili pepper rating on ratemyprofessor he claimed it was posted during the Neolithic. He also joked that he personally prefers pickles to chili peppers. He has a lot of biology content but not too hard. You will have to go to class because each class prepares you for the next. Take him and go!

Expect a few tough questions on quizzes. Overall he puts a lot of effort to make sure that everyone understands what he is talking about. He is very friendly unless you try to scam him. He took his time to learn the names of students in the class ..

He does lectures, helps you with science research,, lets you compare human fossils, lets you make up your own mind about human origins. We did quizzes, some of them take-home, homework based on classroom exercises, library resaearch, and film studies. My favorite class so far.

Dr. V. is an exceptional teacher. That is why I'm surprised by some of the negative comments by someone who made like 7 or 8 posts below. I just had to put that out there because he deserves the credit. I can tell how passionate he is about anthropology and teaching. So thanks Dr.V. for always putting your students first..
