Beware TA Rareshide for this course. She treats students like middle schoolers (taking phones, calling names, baby voice) and is barely helpful. Will tell you you need to improve but offers no constructive criticism. I noticed her lowkey infantilizing international students. Prof. Smith is chill tho

Lectures were never my favorite, Professor Smith is a very nice guy, but some lectures didnt math up with essays given. My TA was very helpful and helped understanding each concept through lecture along with essays and the group project. There were readings, but I never read and still did okay.

Professor Smith's class had a relatively light workload for a 5 unit GE. His lectures can be pretty dull, but you are mainly graded on three essays and one group project. Participation and weekly discussion boards are suitable for building your grade as they are weighted relatively heavily.

Lots of reading but you can skip it, the lectures are engaging enough. There are three papers and one paper, but other than that the only work you'll be doing is discussion boards and making comments during section. For a 5-unit course it's not an unreasonable amount of work, if you're actually interested it can be rewarding.

Super passionate and interesting guy. Good lectures, not boring. iClicker points for lecture. Easy midterm, final, and essays that had lots of instruction (a little too much). Reading is not really necessary, no real homework. Study guide is just 1 question after "reading." No studying or anything outside of class. Final was an essay due online.

Prof Smith was alright. His lectures are definitely pretty dry, but it all depends on your TA. If you have an easy grader, you'll be fine. But they require a super specific niche citation style that's built to make students lose points. Anth 3 is a decent GE if you want WRIT credit, but be prepared for it to take a weird amount of your time.

Lectures boring but do help a bit when writing. If you have a nice TA, things get better. This year, he shrank the time for essay 2 to be 1 week instead of 2, gave work over thanksgiving, and had a final 6 pages essay to complete over 3 days--the weekend before final week. If you're not interested in the subject, just leave for something easier

Prof Smith is a really cool guy. You could honestly skip the lectures and read them at home, the real deal is in the sections, but I don't recommend missing his lectures. There's barely any work and it's pretty good for a 5 unit course. Do not take this course if you don't know the difference between paleontology and archaeology.

Smith doesn't know how to spell so get ready for a lot of little red dotted lines under your notes

This class is the reason there are no archaeology majors in the department. Talks about sexy cavewomen among other cringeworthy asides. He is known as Me Me Me Smith or professor Slide Projector.

If you like listening to this oleaginous man talk about himself for three hours a week than this class is for you. He repels students with his sexist remarks. Claims to be anti racist, but spent 25 yrs talking about his pivotal role in Stargate- a movie about white ppl and aliens establishing Egyptian culture. Totally offensive. Avoid this creepr

Taken during remote learning. Async lectures, usually less than 2 hours a week and 1 sync section. As long as you attend section and do the discussion questions you can easily pass. Three medium length essays. Smith is a pretty cool guy, hes got a background working in the movie industry and is very knowledgeable about archaeology.

Only 3 essays and a group project. The rest of your grade is from asking/answering questions on Pack Back and participation. The class has a lot of reading but you can pass the class without reading. This class is easy for a 5 unit class and is an easy A. He gives extra credit. Professor is passionate and caring. I highly recommend this class.

It's an easy class, all things considered. There's a group project and two essays which aren't too bad. The professor talks about himself a lot, and my dislike of him made me not want to go to class. But if you try it's an easy A!

a lot to read, not hard though, you could still pass if u don't read anything at all. TA really matters,MONROE best TA ever,2 papers, 1group project teammates matter, my teammates were basically free riders so I got a low grade on that. Otherwise I'd be A. extra credit need a lot of effort and not worth it. Lecture makes u wanna sleep tbh

Anth 3 w/ Stuart is a 5 unit class that certainly does not feel like one. Lectures are boring, and he loves to talk about the work that he does. The papers were easy, participation in iClicker in lecture as well as section were a looot of the grade, and the final was not worth too much. I felt very unprepared for all assignments and still did well.

Definitely more effort than most GE classes, but for 5 units its not that bad. There's a lot of assigned reading but its most is not really necessary. Lectures are pretty boring for a subject that /should/ be interesting. If you talk to your TA and do all of your assignments its an easy A.

Professor Smith is a pretty good professor. I personally found his lectures kinda "whatever" and mostly went to them because it was graded. This class is a super easy A as long as you write your essays. The essay topics are quite easy, and I found that the essays were not graded too hard.

This is a easy A if you put in the effort. There are two midterms which are a 4-6 page paper. There is also one group project. The homework is an online forum thing which is super easy so make sure to complete it since it accounts for 25% of your grade. The final exam prompt is given to you in advanced. There's also iclickers.

Assigns lots of reading for homework, but none of the reading seemed mandatory if you attended lecture. Final is an essay with the prompt chosen by him on the day. iClicker attendance counted for a large portion of the grade, as well as section. Two papers, one group project, no midterms/tests. Get ready to write :)

He was an ok teacher. I would've skipped lecture if he didn't grade attendance. Lectures were very boring and I usually slept through most of them. He was very passionate about his work and seemed like a cool guy, I just don't think he was great at teaching.

If your TA is nice then youre set for an easy A. Otherwise, you're going to have to work pretty hard for your grade. His lectures are pretty boring with little text but he does try to sprinkle in a couple pop-culture references to make them a bit more interesting. I had an easy TA so I thought his class was super easy. Note that Im an outlier.

Unless it is your major requirement, otherwise do not take this class. The grading is tough, and the papers/tests are hardly related to class. Sections are boring.

DO NOT TAKE IT. His lectures are sooo boring. You will have 2 essays and 1 final which have no relevance to his lecture materials. If you want to be tortured, take it and have fun.
