Comment:
I took William Breece for Intro to Anthropology, and his class is disliked by some people for actually taking work. However this is a very good class for understanding that studying, and good note-taking goes very far. Only 3 Exams which you are graded on, but as for the professor himself, he is a very kind and motivated teacher who loves his field

Dr. Breece is one of the most amazing professor out there. He is very passionate about Anthropology, helpful and very knowledgeable. His tests are not hard at all! you need to take good notes and pay attention during his class. Always go back to your notes and understand rather than memorizing it. I love him. Great man!

Dr. Breece is by FAR the best professor I have ever had. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable, he goes above and beyond for his students. He is not there to deal with any excuses, he is there to teach. Attendance is crucial because his test are almost directly taken from his lectures. HE IS THE REAL DEAL!

Comment:
He tells you right away that almost all the test material will come from the lecture. And he was right! So take very meticulous notes and be there everyday to catch every word. Textbook is not necessary but does help to clarify a bit but nearly everything is explained in the lectures. And, He can be comically hard of hearing so SPEAK UP!

This class was an absolute nightmare. Being there for lectures makes it feel like you've got everything down but when it comes to the tests, it's ridiculous. His teaching methods are extremely outdated and dull. If you want a class to worry about and find ways to teach yourself and hope you're ready for the test, take this. No E.C. -an anthro major

I'm a big procrastinator, so take it from me..I recommend his class. He has no powerpoints, but his lectures aren't boring. What you learn in anthro is already interesting. All you have to do to pass is take good notes. He is organized & emphasizes what will be on the test in his lectures. So, put in some effort to remember the material. TAKE HIM!

Great teacher and fascinating guy. spends his break between semesters out on digs. No homework or papers. 3 tests all based on lecture notes and videos in class. no study guides, so you need to ask plenty of questions in class to really prepare for the tests.

hard class but you learn something. huge variations on what you need to know for tests. professor helps if you ask but if you dont he expects you to study off the huge amount of notes you take. text book was a waste of money, didnt use at all

He is really awesome!! totally helpful and you can get an easy A if you are not absent and take good notes! He likes students who visit his office and ask questions about his lectures. I dont know why many others think he is tough!!! if you are good at memorizing, you have to take this class!!

hes a good teacher and likes what he does. doesnt always explain things the best and kind of throws you to the wolves with his tests. no homework or extra credit so its based off three tests. id look for other teachers but dont be afraid to take him. tests are 12 short answers 12 scantron. final is cumulative so good luck.

He is really awesome, I loved his class and him! I think I got an A because I showed up to class (being there for the films is really important) and reading every assignment he gave us really thoroughly. flashcards for the tests are key! Do all your film and attribute sheets and your golden! Its an awesome class, I loved it, highly recommend.

William is a cool guy. Classes can be boring sometimes, but take good notes and you'll do fine! The subject is pretty interesting. Again: TAKE NOTES! There are 3 tests and no extra credit. Each test has 45 t/f questions,and the rest are short answers and one half page essay worth 6 points.

Three exams. True/False, Fill in the blank, Short answer, and last two tests have an essay question. No homework. Take notes. Use book for definitions of key words. Strict with attendance. Pay attention or at least look as if you are listening. Very interesting stories and easy to learn from. A very great teacher to have. Recommend 5/5.

Breece is such a knowledgable and friendly man! As long as you take good notes and actually study for the test, you'll be fine. You won't need the book, it's in the library on reserve if anything. On the exam (3 that make up your entire grade): tricky true/false but if you can answer the free response questions, it'll help a lot.

Comment:
He is a very interesting man, very informative and somewhat funny. He gives a textbook but does not use it in class, and the older editions are much cheaper and have the same info. His test are worded in a way that may be hard to understand. He only gives 3 test, no hw and no extra credit. so basically if you pass the test you pass the class
