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.

Great Professor! Through his lectures you can really see he loves archaeology and wants to share that passion with his students. Weekly written assignments and iclicker in lecture is required, but they're both graded on participation so it's not bad. Two papers that were a little vague but TA's are really helpful.

I couldn't help but fall asleep most lectures because it was dim and he had a really relaxing voice. He has some interesting stuff to say but the course itself is underwhelming a lot of the time. Very nice guy and respected in the field. Super easy class, theres a weekly assignment that is a little annoying but relatively easy. He should do ASMR.
