Comment:

He is an amazing lecturer. He really cares about what he teaches as he wrote the textbook. If you read it and keep up you will do well. 50% of the grade is a cumulative midterm which is given before the withdrawal deadline. If you do well on it you will do good in the class. At the end you need to write an ethnography on research, listen in class.

Took this professor Fall17 for ANT3035. One midterm, a play review and a final project. The final project has two components; video and paper. Professor Guest has a lot of interesting stories from studying chinese culture both in Chinatown and in China. Lectures are really interest. Participation is encouraged. He is a fairly easy grader as well.

Comment:

Ken Guest is very passionate about his subject, but sometimes so passionate that he only sees his side of things. When people try to share their opinion that is opposite his, he dismisses the opinion or changes it to be what he wants to say. You have about 40 pages to read each week and take an online quiz on, and the midterm is CRAZY hard

Comment:

Really annoying professor, and class overall. When I met with him one on one he didn't really seem like he got what I was talking about - seems like he's in his own little world. Class had irrelevant information, easy material but really annoying to take.

One midterm and a final paper. a quiz every 1-2 weeks but it's online so its not that hard. Midterm and final are very big parts of the grade. Personally, the midterm was easy but the final paper was difficult. Lots of fieldwork to do but its not too difficult. Interesting class overall

DO NOT BE RECKLESS ABOUT THE MIDTERM!!! (tough grade). Anyway, he is an awesome professor. You would love the class. Then, when the semester over, you would miss his class so baddddd.

Comment:

He's a quirky guy but his lectures are interesting most of the time. There are those days where you want to fall asleep. Tough grader on the midterm. You have to write an ethnography (6-7 pages) that counts as the final.

Comment:

Engaging in class but was not specific in what he wanted in assignments such as the midterm or the final paper. Be ready to read and take notes on his lecture as every little detail is important for the midterm. Also, you have to do the readings daily for the quizzes in the next lecture.

Comment:

He's a very nice man. Gives a few papers, but isn't 100% clear about what he wants, so don't get depressed if you get 80-90%. The only test is the midterm and it covers everything since the beginning, so reading the textbook is very important. Honestly, I didn't read one page and i busted an A-, but it was a struggle to get that grade. So read

Comment:

Long lectures but he's entertaining and funny. I was scared at first because he did write the textbook himself so I thought he expected a lot out of us but as long as you study hard for the one test he gives (midterm) and actually put in work into the papers he assigns, you'll be fine!

Comment:

- Expect long textbook readings - 1 midterm based on ALL class material & readings (all short answers; definitions w/examples, 1 essay) - No final exam - 7 page ethnography paper on an immigrant organization (plus research, interviews, mapping, fieldwork data collection) - Engaging lectures - Good notes are essential to passing midterm

He's funny and tries to engage the class. Lectures can get long and boring. He has an incredible laugh. Midterm wasn't to bad and the final is a 7 page paper.

Good guy. Only a few projects that are worth a lot. So make sure you do them well. He is really not flexible with your grades. If you are 1 point away from the next grade up he will not give it to you. Only negative though
