ANTH2 . 8 Months Ago

Professor Walsh is passionate about the subject matter, though his lectures can be dry. The class workload is manageable - just do the readings, attend section, and prepare for the short papers and exams. unstuck AI was a huge help with study prep too.

Walsh is a nice guy who is passionate about his field, the class itself was very easy There's an in-class midterm that he gives the essay question for in advance, a 5-page paper, and online final I didn't do any readings and only showed up to a quarter of the lectures and got an A, just prepare for those assignments/tests and it's wraps

He was super into the material, but his lectures were so boring. They also didn't include much information. A lot of readings, but you can get by without doing them. 1 short, 2-page, in-class essay for the midterm that he pre-releases the question for, 1 online MCQ final exam, and 1 paper that you have to interview people for. Easy, but boring.

He was extremely passionate about the class and the subject matter. I could tell he truly enjoyed teaching and really cared about his students. Grades depended on participation section, a 1500 word ethnographic paper, an in-class one question midterm, and an online multiple choice final. Weekly homework was textbook readings. Great class!!

His lectures are a little confusing but he really cares about his students especially those that show interest in the course. There are 4 mini exams + 1 make-up exam if needed, and 2 easy projects.The mini exams are all mini essays and I am not really too sure what they are graded on, plus they are worth a big part of your grade.
