ANT3 . A Month Ago

Easy A, East tests & midterms, Professor rambles and can get a little boring but really cares about what he's teaching. Your section will have a grade, and your attendance matters.

Lectures were entertaining. Assignments were only partly dependent on the lectures, and there was quite a bit of reading

ANTH3 . 3 Months Ago

Anth3 is an easy class as long as you do the work. Professor Smith is very passionate about the subject and he likes to share about past his past projects. You can tell that he cares a lot. A lot of what is learned in the lecture isn't super important for passing the class but it's still interesting to learn about.

He gives every chance for success. His lectures are great, really informative. Sections are where this class shines, with amazing presentations and activities. The class is essays, writing assignments, and an in person final that is made fairly simple and straightforward. Communication is clear, course is really interesting, great professor.

Prof is fine, but if you arent interested in the subject its alot. Weekly writings, 2 essays, final essay. No quizzes (yay) but you do have to write alot. TA matters, I have a friend whos TA literally reported them for AI! Prof is also anti AI :/ My TA didnt report for AI, but she did say it gets details really wrong and usually gets a 50 or lower

Professor smith is very kind and you can tell he loves what he does. There's a lot of writing but it's only to fulfill the writing requirement for your GEs. There is a lot of reading so I don't recommend taking this along other classes with a lot of reading. Just attend the lectures and take notes and you'll be fine.
