Comment:

Interesting lectures because he explains everything clearly. You only have one paper and that's the final. For people who don't like reading, you might have to do a bit of reading. It's convenient that his lectures are on youtube. Some quizzes and answering questions for homework. Just do the work and you'll pass. Overall, really good teacher.

If you are well organized and are ok with lots of work and I mean LOTS of work, this class will be fun and entertaining. There are weekly discussions that require you to respond two times per day at least three days a week, there's usually weekly essays on videos, and two tests accompanied by reading and lectures respectively. Still fun though.

Dr. Wetsman is a great professor, his online course is very well organized and hes always on time with his grading. He provides great feedback and is always prompt on replies. He definitely makes the class easy and is always straight forward with his assignments. He does make you buy a textbook he wrote himself, and this requires lots of reading.

Dr. Westman is very smart and helpful. I liked his online course a lot. He can be sassy at times, but don't take it personally. He cares about how well you do.

What a great calss! Can tell the professor wants you to pass. Easy to get points through open-book, open-note, untimed tests. Plus discussion where you just post for points. Gives 125 points extra credit since you just need 900 out of 1,125 for an "A". Would recommend alot.

He's well organized. Just remember if you have a full-time job or could only do online classes because of schedule DONT TAKE THIS CLASS. it is extremely hard & demanding. so much work. if you don't get a certain percent on a module you will get dropped with a W. even if you put all that hard work too bad you get dropped. take if you have 1 class!!!

Best online class I have taken. Professor cares so much about students. He leaves helpful feedback and lets you resubmit work for a higher score. Plus, there are 125 points of extra credit. Most classes just have you read the boring book. Professor Wetsman wrote a great book and also provides audio lectures to help students. I give him an A+.

Comment:

If youre looking for an online course to make you feel like youre taking 3 instead of 1, then this one is the right one for you. He is a tough grader and his feedback is not useful like he claims. You can put all of your effort into this course and it still wont be worth it.

Comment:

This professor has been worst experience. His lecture videos for his online class are said to be 2 1/2 hours when in reality its about 4 hours each one. He also does not show us the correct answers to tests due to cheating, which is understandable but how can we improve if we don't know what we got wrong? Avoid this class at all costs.

Comment:

Dr. Wetsman's class is a college level class. I did well because I embraced the challenge. There is quite a bit of work but it is all clearly presented. He can be snarky and sassy in class, but he's not mean spirited. He's an adult acting like one, and some students cannot handle being challenged. If you want to learn take Dr. Wetsman.

Currently taking his class online during summer session. Honestly, he is not that bad he can be very over the top at first but he is VERY organized. Everything is open book open notes when taking the test and the deadlines are all on Sunday so you have a week to get everything done. Straight forward and stay on top of your work!

Took class online. Class is very demanding BUT take advantage of his pre-grading option. He will give you feedback on how to improve your work before final grading. There is one paper, with a pre-grading option, weekly discussions requiring multiple posts, lecture tests and textbook exams each module, and a final. Work hard and you will pass!

Comment:

If you want to hear your professor tell you how he's a "happily married, heterosexual, father with kids and a wife", then take this class. He liked to stop the class to get mad at kids who weren't talking, so that was fun. If you answer a question, he'll tell you that you're close but that's not the answer he wants. Then he'll say the same answer.

Professor Wetsman overall a great teacher. He has a passion for what he teaches and his lectures are very enjoyable they are long but I felt like I actually learned about anthropology. He will make you work for your grade and is a tough grader but as long as you get all your work done you should be fine.

I took his class online during the summer, I was withdrawn even though I was busting my butt. The class was extremely hard, the guy is a DR so he grades like one. I then re-took his class the following semester and passed with a C. I learned a ton but the deadlines really killed my learning mode and I got more into survival and GOOGLE mode.

Comment:

This is by far one of the most disappointing classes I have taken. Not only did he grade hard but when I asked on why I would receive such low grades especially on discussion (I'm still wondering why since i would read multiple of my classmates discussions and we were all on the same page) he would not reply with feedback like he promised.

His class was not difficult, just a bit time consuming. I took his summer class and it was a lot of work but not too much. Last assignment is attending a zoo and writing about it. Tests are open book and open notes. He provides the study guide. A nice man, very passionate about anthropology.

Comment:

Second time taking Wetsman. Honestly, this class really is not that hard, but there is a great deal of busy work. Biggest benefit is you only need an 82% in the class to get an A. The online course is an independent studies course, so keeping up is a good idea. He does grade a little harshly, however, if you do all the modules you'll be just fine.

Was the only choice for the online class, decided, took, withdrawal, never taking again. Class overall: Lecture test 40 quest. Textbook test 10 quest. Homework 3 question answer long&be precise, discussion every module post depend on you and pts., lecture video 2-3 hours worth. Lastly a research paper on primates visit a zoo. TOUGH GRDAER
