Best professor I've ever had. Dr. Stuart made sure that we did the readings he assigned us, posted study guides 2 weeks ahead of time, and was always available for office hours. He explained things in a way that never made me feel talked down to. If you have any interest in the history of Egypt/Nubia and archaeology, I would highly recommend him!

Pros: An amazing professor who teaches his class very well. His lectures are fun and engaging. He is always willing to meet during office hours He gives out midterms and final study guides ahead of time so you have time to memorize for the exams. Cons: Not an easy class, you need to do the reading and the studying to get a good grade.

I would not take this class if you are just looking to fulfill a GE requirement and are not actually interested in Egypt. This class was way harder than expected and requires A LOT of memorization.

NEVER TAKE A CLASS FROM THIS MAN. His lectures are just him talking aimlessly and you don't know if what he's saying is just him talking or actually important. The whole grade is a midterm, final, and 10 page paper. He expects you to know as much as him, he's has 35+ years of experience... Avoid at all cost.

he's a really energetic...sometimes crazy..but nice teacher. it's true, i didn't have to do most of the reading but i got by only b/c of the study guides and being in a study group before the tests! lectures helped a lot. find partners for the project and the study guides, he was also nice about extensions if you really needed it.

HUGE amount of assigned reading, but you can get by without doing all of it. You must go to lectures to get a good grade. I got an A, but I did all of the study guides and studied in a group for a few days before the test. It would be hard to get through the project and study guides by yourself, find partners for the class!
