Comment:
Collins is a genius. Clear and engaging lectures with good PPT--and he has good sense of humor and solid wit--keeps it fun and fresh. Read about a book a week. Started with theory--Norbert Elias, "The Civilizing Process," Collins, "Interaction Ritual Chains," and Wounters, "Informalization," --then a number of interesting ethnographic books.

Comment:
At first he appears to be kind of a crazy old man, but he is a hilarious genius. He manages to keep even the driest material amusing and interesting, and all the while I find myself liking him more. The level of difficulty is really dependent on the TA. Ask him about the novel he wrote about Sherlock Holmes.

Comment:
Amusing and highly intelligent. Straight forward teaching style and if the class is slow its definately the material more than the prof.
