Good professor, kinda dry, especially if you are not into current events for Native Americans. Good class, Attendance is mandatory and a sign in sheet is handed around at the beginning of each class.

Comment:

The class is super easy, there are three books, I never read any of them and I passed the quizzes each week (he talks about the reading in class). He does have power issues and in my opinion he is the definition of "chuckle" I can't stand his laugh, it gets on my last nerves and he chuckles constantly!!

Comment:

When I signed up for this class I wasn't exactly sure what it was about. But once the class started I liked it alot. it's easy, if you read the material and attend class. He really is into what he's teaching. I recommend taking this class, but ONLY if you are willing to read a decent amount.

Comment:

He does have a bit of an issue with power but its an easy class. Gives study guides, if you do them its an easy A. quizzes are best 10 out of 12 which are also very simple to do. Seems like a high school teacher more than a professor trying to get the class to behave. I would easily take it again.

Comment:

North American Indians class. Well organized, well-paced schedule, lecture can get a little on the dull side occasionally. Essentially a good professor. He keeps his material on blackboard for the students' convenience(powerpoints, video links), sticks to the schedule, makes study guides that do help, and has only 4 tests. Attendance affects grade.

Comment:

God forbid you have to sneeze or cough in this guy's class. Rather than a simple "Excuse you," he prefers to call you out by exclaiming, "That sounds awful/nasty/disgusting!" His lectures are all over the place, and the only parts about the class that are structured are the dull books you are required to read. If you enjoy rudeness, take him!

Comment:

I think he is a great professor! He is very organized, everything is writted on the syllabus of what is going on each day and you can tell he enjoys teaching! He does 4 exams. He gives study guides and if you read everything and attend class you will do fine on the test!

Comment:

Anyone who has said NOT to take this prof must be lazy. He is super easy, knows his stuff, and all he asks is that you read the fairly interesting books(which he assigns in small doses). If you do not, you will be using an entire day to complete his study guides. But they reflect EXACTLY what's on the test. Best teacher I've had at UNF.

Comment:

Dr. Biglow was my favorite professor. He is a great speaker and keeps the class interesting most of the time. Most professors at UNF would do well to watch how he teaches a class. Very organized and methodical, no surprises, and its obvious he enjoys what he does. Take him.

Comment:

Felt like this professor wasted a lot of the student's time with rambling and often off-topic lectures. PP notes were provided. No strict attendance policy. Tests were easy, multiple choice with essay bonus. Several videos shown in class. Books were used heavily. While the class was a bore, he does seem to know his stuff.

Comment:

Great class. Not an attendance NAZI, only showed up like 50% of the time and passed with a B. The papers were easy and so were the tests. I never studied or took notes. So if you apply yourself even just a little you'll get an A, no doubt!

Comment:

Wow, where to start? If you miss more than 2 classes, you automatically get points taken away. Lectures are dull and all over the place, hard to follow him. If you want to do well you have to read extensively. He complains a lot and is very biased. I wouldn't suggest him EVER.

Comment:

He is a good teacher for the course. Reading the material is mandatory to an extent. Tests are relatively easy, with extra credit. Lectures are usually power point and old movies. All in all, he is a decent teacher for the course.

Comment:

This is the second time that I am taking his class. The first time, I got a D because I didn't go to class and only read at the last minute. This time I have gone to all of the classes and read ahead of time. I have gotten A's so far. I am finding it far more interesting this time around and I actually really enjoy him as a professor. Smart guy.

Comment:

Biglow is a great professor. He is passionate about the subject. The exams are absurdly easy, especially with the online study guides (Easy A) Lots of vids/mp3s too. Attendance was not mandatory although he did take role at the start of class. The class seemed more like liberal apologism than Indian studies at times, but he was a fair grader.

Biglow is a very refreshing professor. Loves what he does and likes class participation. Attendance is used for borderline grades. I would take him again.

Comment:

I really liked his class, it was not at all what I was expecting, but he made it fun and interesting. He is pretty quirky but thats ok, just laugh along. He is really sweet and it was easy to pass the course, just do the readings. Oh, and the tests are a breeze.
