Nice dude who is passionate about what he teaches. Most of grade besides 24% section participation was a group project, two papers, and a two part in person final Exam. A lot of reading and writing and you need to be interested to do well

If you're not somewhat interested in archaeology, this class will be a pain! You NEED to attend the lectures to understand his slides + iClicker. There are weekly readings, study guides, and written reflections. Section attendance is mandatory but extremely helpful. The class consisted of a group project, two essays, & an in-person 2-part final.

I dont get why people are complaining about the work load its a 5 credit writing class of course there is a lot of writing. Attendance is mandatory for both lecture and section, can really mess up your grade if you dont go to either. Ask the TAs all your questions bc they do the grading. Interesting enough class for a gen ed

Lectures are kind of all over the place and rather boring. You learn about a lot that you will not remember but luckily you don't need to, to succeed. There were 2 essays and one project, all of which you can do well on so long as you put it in the effort. Final also isn't very demanding, two essay questions provided ahead of time.

Nice guy, very passionate about the subject. However, the slides are completely unintelligible if you aren't closely following along with the lecture (which can sometimes be hard). He assigns a ton of content for the weekly study guides, but it isn't to hard to get through if you space it out throughout the week.

The lectures are so boring and not well structured, but they are mandatory. We have a lot of assignments (weekly reflection and study guide) and also gives work over break (an essay and two assignments over Thanksgiving). His grading criteria is clear and it's not that hard to get a good grade. Spare yourself from lectures and endless study guides
