Professor Walsh is passionate about the subject matter, though his lectures can be dry. The class workload is manageable - just do the readings, attend section, and prepare for the short papers and exams. unstuck AI was a huge help with study prep too.

Walsh is a nice guy who is passionate about his field, the class itself was very easy There's an in-class midterm that he gives the essay question for in advance, a 5-page paper, and online final I didn't do any readings and only showed up to a quarter of the lectures and got an A, just prepare for those assignments/tests and it's wraps

He was super into the material, but his lectures were so boring. They also didn't include much information. A lot of readings, but you can get by without doing them. 1 short, 2-page, in-class essay for the midterm that he pre-releases the question for, 1 online MCQ final exam, and 1 paper that you have to interview people for. Easy, but boring.

He was extremely passionate about the class and the subject matter. I could tell he truly enjoyed teaching and really cared about his students. Grades depended on participation section, a 1500 word ethnographic paper, an in-class one question midterm, and an online multiple choice final. Weekly homework was textbook readings. Great class!!

He is definitely passionate about what he teaches and cares about his students. Go to lecture to do well in the class.

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.
