Comment:

He talks a lot, off topic and useless rants. I literally got 5-7s on all of my 10 question quizzes and I still got a B. Do the extra credit, its a boring class though. Take it during the 6 week semester, dont torture yourself with the 16 weeks.

Gets off topic, quizzes 10 questions, participate, decent quiz grades, extra credit you wont get lower than a B. Take it in the summer unless youre an Anthro major and want to know more. Decent class overall.

I heard he is WAY easier in the classroom setting, took him online and it was 14 quizzes and 14 critical question to answer. You can take the quizzes up to 3 times so that takes the pressure off and the questions are grades easily. Everything is at your own pace so its a breeze. I heard they did even less work in the classroom so maybe check that.

Prof. Cerreto was really good. Just be aware that you have to work in groups sometimes and you also have to do active participation exercises.

Comment:

I have never been in a class where the teacher is so much of a talker. I thought the professors with no personality were boring, but all of his stories just topped that ! Totally off topic me his stories seem made up. Today was the first day of a summer semester and he just went on & on ..... two hours seems like four ! Easy A though - I can tell

Loved this class, be warned he talks A LOT. Sometimes goes off topics but brings it back. For midterm and final make sure to pay attention to what he says and writes on the boars, extremely important. Final/midterm are take home test but vocabulary quizzes are in class, study and you'll get good grades. Cerreto is an amazing teacher(:

Professor Cerreto's online class was easy. All you have to do is read the chapter, take a brief quiz, maybe answer some questions, and you'll pass. I even did an assignment late, labeled it as late and still got full credit, thinking I'd only get half the points.

Pay attention. As an anthro major I know the routine. If he wanted to train parrots, he'd lecture on the book. But then you could just read the book and not have to think....

Comment:

His class was very long and talked about nothing the entire time, always off topic.Over all pretty cool teacher, sorta easy work. Doesn't really lecture material so your pretty much on your own for test, luckily its take home. online seems to be the better move for his class.

Very funny teacher. Final essay is 10 pages, not very hard though as long as you don't wait to do it. Quizzes are just mostly vocabulary words.

I love Cerreto. Seriously the passion this guy has for anthropology and the ease with which he explains things actually converted me into an Anthropology Major when i was stuck between History and Psychology.

Excellent instructor,both a lot of fun as well as engaging. Book use was moderate, I got through without buying one, but I was often borrowing the book from the library. Tests were difficult, but he is extremely fair about them.

SPENDS MAJORITY OF TIME TALKING ABOUT HIS EXPERIENCES OR SIDENOTES ABOUT THE MATERIAL. HARDLY THOROUGHLY EXPLAINS MATERIAL WHICH IS FRUSTRATING SINCE ***THE TESTS ARE VERY HARD & TRICKY*** READING THE BOOK GOT ME MY GRADE BECAUSE HIS LECTURES DIDN'T REALLY HELP.

Very easy guy that is always there for you. Makes you want to learn and understand the material. I missed two or three quizes and still got on A. Allows you to make up the quizzes. Very interactive. Everything is take home. Uses old editions to save you money. Nice guy over all. Very respectful.
