Highly recommend this class if you need the credit or if you just want to learn. I loved attending class, the lectures are always super interesting and almost always shows an awesome video to go along with the lecture. Tests are straight forward, a couple of short answers, interesting material. Super cool, and really funny . Youll love it

Comment:

The most easiest class I have ever taken. I never showed up as he doesn't take attendance and managed to get an A. He assigns extra credit (up to 20 points) if you go to the tutor center and obtain a card that you went. Also, there is a zoo project that you have to complete. He brought candy & donuts on the last day of class- really nice professor!

You should definitely go to class because there are mini movies that you get 5 points for I think just for being there. Definitely capable of getting an A. He clearly tells you how to do well in class so if you listen to him its do able. Show up to class, take notes, and do homework and you will be good to go. He doesn't try to trick you.

Take his classes! You will not regret it. I wish all instructors and professors were as great as him. His expectations are reasonable, he gets that you have other classes besides just his. Mr. Rettele, if you are reading this, THANK YOU!!!!

This is one of the greatest professors that I've had, and one of the greatest educators I've had. Prof. Rettele made the class fun. I didn't miss a class, and I didn't want to. The class very easy. This Professor was one of those Profs that make you have interest in a subject that you just took on a whim. Don't hesitate; take this Professor.

Quite possibly the best teacher I've ever had. He's a great teacher who is always willing to help his students. His class was fun and entertaining - from the videos he showed to the lectures he gave, he made going to an 8am class enjoyable for me (which is saying a lot). Tests were on exact material he taught and one or two readings. Take him!

He's honestly the best teacher I've had. I took both cultural and biological anthropology with him because he's so good at his job. I'd highly recommend taking his class

Awesome professor! So far, my favorite at Saddleback! Lectures were very entertaining, he was humorous, and keep the class intrigued. Only wrote on the board info that would be on the test, and study guides matched all notes. Tests were easy, not much work in the class. Points for video questions and article. Great class!

He writes his notes on the board and when a test is coming up he will tell you exactly what to study. Does require you to read articles and answer questions on what you read. His class is overall easy to take. He is a great teacher.

Brad is a really easy professor. He writes out everything on the board and tests primarily on that information but does assign readings that you will be tested on. Super easy and helpful. Certainly going to take his Anth 2 class

Rettele explains things well. Study the notes and study guide and you'll be good for the quizzes and exams. Coming into the class I knew nothing about anthro. but Rettele made me interested in the subject. He is a funny and nice guy. Show up, do the work, study, and get an A.

Took over our class after Prof Merrifield passed away. He kept the class easy but wasn't as engaging as Merrifield. He gives an outline before each test which should guarantee you an A as long as you study.

Rettele's class was ridiculously EASY. He does have some sloppy issues when it comes to writing on the board, but everything he wants you to know is on the test. His teaching method is so easy to follow. I recommend this teacher to anyone, and anthro is such an easy subject! Overall one the the best teachers at Saddleback

Really, really good teacher. He explains everything with great clarity and makes lessons interesting. Tests are relatively easy as long as you study and homework is interesting. Loads of extra credit to complete also. This class is really fun, I would recommend it to anyone.

Professor Rettele is a great guy and will do anything in his power to help his students. His notes and lectures can be hard to follow sometimes, but if you dont understand something he will make sure to clear it up for you. I would highly recommend Brad and I look forward to taking cultural anthropology with him.
