Comment:

Dr C is an amazing guy. All his tests are based on the powerpoint slides. You have to take good notes if you want to get an A. Final exam is culmaltive but mostly based on previous things. He doesn't curve or give extra credits. TAKE GOOD NOTES!!!

Comment:

I don't understand why so many people dislike professor Capelotti.. he makes his lectures very interesting and to some degree, relates to his students. You read one chapter a week and take a quiz on it and they're very easy. The tests are also easy since its straight from the text.. very enjoyable professor and an amazing class to take.

Theres very few assignments in Capelottis online class. Just a couple 5-question quizzes and 4 tests. If you take good notes youll ace this class with no problem.

Comment:

Capelotti's class is the one I did the worst in. I never missed class, I took notes, read the textbook, but only came out with a C+. Halfway through the semester, over half the class dropped out. He's not good at lecturing and you never know what his tests are going to cover. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS!

Gives bare minimum on notes, lots of online quizzes and very difficult tests. He's a funny guy, but gets angry/upset very easily. Very strict

Very funny and kind professor. Don't ever skip class unless you have a friend that can take notes for you while you're gone. Tests rely heavily on the notes taken in class and make sure to take notes from the textbook as well.

Definitely not an easy class but very much worth it. I really enjoyed the class overall. Not every class is going to be easy, its college people but tough situations help you grow. Put in the work and study and you will do fine. Skip class and you will be lost. Lots of information per lesson.

Comment:

This is certaintly not the easiest gen. ed class out there. It is more of a history class than an anthropology class. He does not tell you specifically what you need to know for exams. You have to know every little detail in the slideshow and the book. The exams themselves are difficult. He can be a bit rude and sacastic at times.

Prof C is a riot in class. He has the best personality on campus you'll be laughing often. Read the textbook and take notes and you'll be fine.

Great guy but the material he teaches is very boring. Thought his class would be more biology based but it felt more like a history class. The exams are mostly people and dates.

Read the assigned reading ahead of time! Yes, it's hard but that's college. I heard so many people complain about him being impossible to pass, it's not impossible if you do what your supposed to. Definitely not an easy A, but there is not much work. Read chapters, a couple of online quizzes, handful of tests, final is open notebook.

Comment:

Ok, overall his class was really INTERESTING. But first three exams are nothing like what he teaches you. At one point, both of the 21's were talking about what to do because everyone was failing. DO NOT skip class because you wont pass the final exam. However if you write down everything in the powerpoints youll be ok

He is a horrible professor. His presentations did not help me prepare for any of test. attendance is mandatory but i did not see the point of going to his class because the test is made up of everything that's in the book. I do not recommend anyone taking his class.

He's an amazing professor. Extremely funny and won't fail to make you laugh every class. Exams are only difficult if you do not study or go to class. The actual course and the material is difficult, but not how he teaches. Extremely NOT okay with using electronics in class.
