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.

Elaborated a lot about the slides in lecture and you can tell how passionate he is about the material. No knowledge mcq tests, but rather tons of writing, which I preferred. There was a lot of assigned reading, but honestly I just focused in lecture, as well as section, and I did pretty good off of that. Just skimmed through reading.

You could tell Professor Walsh was very passionate about what he was teaching. He is really nice and it was overall a really good course. The lectures at times were hard to get through.

super easy class Papers and exams are only 300 words, you can do it in a day. As long as you're trying you'll get a good grade. I barely read the main textbook and did well. You may have to read the other book assigned but not the full thing

I'm not sure why everyone is complaining about the writing on here. It's one page a week essentially, and you're writing about yourself. You can literally skip every lecture and just attend the sections (the section attendance is graded) and pass. I took this during my last term and it was incredibly straightforward.

Professor Walsh is super sweet and intelligent. The case studies in this class were super interesting and it went beyond common sense, like a lot of other intro anthro classes. The lectures were pretty boring and while easy, there is a lot of writingan ethnographic journal, an ethics paper, and 3 short essay exams.

As someone else said, everything is written but you get no WRT credit. Grade made up of 6 journal entries, 3 mini exams, section/participation, and an essay/letter. Both exams and entries 300 words. 4-6 lectures each week, incredibly boring, barely tolerable at 2x speed. Easy material but a lot of it was debatable/opinions presented as fact.

Trying to stay focused during async lectures was like pulling teeth. Annoyed that there was so much writing when it doesn't even give writing credits. You have to write journal entries, a letter, peer review, and the "mini exams" are all written. The amount of writing was beyond. I'd like to add that I did well in this class but I'm very bothered.

Easy class, just watch the lectures and read what he assigns. The weekly journals and mini exams are straightforward.

Anth 2 was a really nice introduction into anthropology. There was nothing really special about his lectures but they were easy to follow and the tests were straightforward.

Lectures were SO boring. Professor Walsh's lectures were dry and unengaging. They were also never related to readings. Easy A though. Midterm and final are online. Little direction was given for the ethnographic paper but go to your TAs office hours to see what the want.

Really boring lectures, after 2 I stopped going but I had notes from a previous quarter. Midterm and final online, long ethnographic paper which can be difficult or easy depending on the quarter's topic. Exams HEAVILY lecture based. Very easy class, take if you need to balance a heavy/difficult unit load or if you just want an easy A.
