Comment:

I have taken Rigby twice! Do not regret taking him at all. 5 exams total which are all based ENTIRELY on the book, NOT on the lectures. Drops lowest exam score. He is VERY GENEROUS ON CURVE POINTS. The average curve points he gave us was around 35! Easy to pass as long as you do some studying, Inquisitive , and just memorize key term definitions.

Comment:

Your grade depends on 5 exams, the lowest of the first 4 gets dropped. Final cant be dropped! Curves exams so you will pass all exams. Inquisitive doesnt really help just read the book. If it is your major you will love. No study guide! He tells you exams will never be based on the lecture so during class I sugg. you read the long chapters.

There 5 scantron test (50 questions) and lowest one gets the drop. The test are easy, and the tests are curved like 30 points because they come from the manufacturer. Just get inquisitive, and take the extra credit. Overall, his lecture are fun, and I learn alot from his class lecutre. An easy A if you do due dillegence

Great professor. Great lectures. If its gonna be on the test, hell let you know. Funny too. Make sure you show up. Clear agenda; a few exams and a semester essay make up your grade, and he grades on a fair curve. Lots of extra credit and make-up opportunities. The content in Anth203 was very eye-opening and even inspiring, too. Recommended.

Professor Rigby clearly loves the subject and enjoys talking about it. Although his lectures use up the whole class time, he does not require any homework other then reading the assigned chapters. I did read and it helped me passed the class with an A; however, my gf also took his class and she didn't read and passed with B. Love his class!

Mr. Rigby is an incredible professor who is clearly passionate about anthropology. His lectures are so intriguing especially when he connects them with personal experiences , such as sight seeings. This course was surprisingly not difficult, I can only recommend to do the inquisitive to prepare for exams. One should definitely take his class!!

Honestly Proffeser Rigbys class is not hard. He makes the class fun and is a great proffeser. I took him for both Anthropology 115 and 100. Got As on both. 115 is more harder, but for 100 you dont even need the books. Just use quizlet and youll find the study guides. The smaller books Ill recommend getting just to make your essay answers good

An interesting class indeed. If you are going to take Anthropology 115, I would highly suggest Professor Rigby.. The tests are difficult, but he curves the points by a lot. Reading the book and having access to the inquisitive tool will improve your chances of success in his class.

The formula to passing his class: show up, write/type everything he tells you to get from his lectures, fill up study guide, and DO what he tells you to do when it comes to studying for his class. He has a lot of fun and interesting stories he likes to share but sometimes would go over the class time. Very good professor and person in general.

Such a great class. If you are taking this class I recommend taking prof. Rigby. It's not an easy subject but really interesting once you start listening. Prof. always has time to listen and answer questions. Also gives extra credit assignments.

Professor Rigby gives so many opportunities to pass this class. There is a lot of possible extra credit and he only offers one assignment (min 7pg paper) for the whole semester. As long as you read the book and use the inquizitive tool to help you study for the exams there should be no reason for you to fail. Easy A class.

You need the book and inquisitive acccess to do somewhat well on the tests. 4 tests and one final. Research paper where you have to go to la zoo and write about evolution. Curved every test, no homework, pretty easy class just make sure to study.

Professor Rigby is a fantastic teacher. His lectures are always very interesting and he has many great and funny stories. However, you need to make sure you do the work your tasked with. If you pay attention in the lectures and take good notes, do the chapter questions, and prepare for the short answer, you will easily get an A in his class.

Comment:

Professor Rigby's class was challenging but he graded reasonably. Throughout his lectures, he would incorporate what he had found during his time on the field to clarify the materials we were learning. Be sure to take advantage of his office hours, if you need help. Make sure you take a look at the study guide before the test, it helps!

Comment:

Has a really monotoned voice, but if you can stay awake during lecture you'll be fine. Majority of the questions come from the texbook and I was able to get away with not reading and still have a good grade, although that doesn't apply to everyone. Grades on a heavy curve, C's become A's. Just remember to watch your pacing on the term paper.

If you can stay awake in his class you can absolutely pass. His lectures are monotone, however if you listen and take notes you will pass the exams. He also grades on a curve.
