Professor Walsh is very boring. I do not recall ever remaining conscious throughout any of his lectures. However, his class and exams are very easy. To be honest, you do not need to go to lecture to get a good grade in the class. I did not go to about 1/3 of lectures and did not read of the books, yet I got an A-

easy, albeit boring, class. gives lectures which sometimes correspond with reading, other times the lectures are incredibly boring and I feel like I've learned little from them. Easy class overall though, if you attend section and try hard on your paper and do the reading you'll for sure get a B in the class.

This class is horribly boring. His lectures make no sense, and you need to know all the random info on the slides if you want any chance of passing. Pointless ethics project, paid $10 for no reason. Weekly reading. 5 page paper that is graded pretty easily.

His lectures are boring. His powerpoints aren't posted online so you should go to lecture. His powerpoints are uselss; what's important is what he's talking about. Tests seem to be more on random tidbits than important concepts. Makes you pay to use a website so that you can write a 2 page paper. Lectures are boring, but the workload is light.

If you're the kind of guy who does well in history, the class is about as good as it gets. Never talked to him, but the lectures were very engaging and interesting. A lot of people do well in the class. However, if you're not very good at social science classes, then this might not be the easiest class. Go to every lecture.

I really did not enjoy this class. It was huge and extremely boring. There is a decent amount of reading. The tests did not reflect the class as a whole and were not good tests of you knowledge. Take a different anthro class. I do not recommend this class.

You can tell Professor Walsh is very passionate about Anthropology and his work, however the class itself is usually pretty boring. You never really know what to expect, some days are interesting while others will put you to sleep. He talks a lot and his powerpoints aren't helpful so you have to take good notes on what he's saying for the exams.

He seems nice & but lectures are rarely enticing. Goes off on confusing tangents. Luckily, the book is easy to read. Just take notes on the required chapters each week, focusing on the vocab terms, and you'll be fine. Midterm was straight forward, I got a B+. If you're looking for an easy, undemanding class, take it.

Seemed like a nice professor, approachable, likes his profession, but didn't quite seem to have the knowledge on what he was teaching on which was pretty funny. TONS of reading, but I think you can get by without doing any of it. In class essay as midterm (he gave us possible test questions upon request which was super nice of him). 10 pg final.

Course material was so broad it was hard to gather any meaning beyond common sense. He seemed like a very nice, friendly and lighthearted guy, but he had no control over the class and everyone would leave ten minutes early WHILE he timidly told them to stay in their seats. Overall boring class

i loved this class. my favorite of the quarter by far, he is really into the subject matter and it shows, the tests are fair if you do the reading and go to lecture. the sections correlate really well with lecture. he can get repetative in lecture but i loved the class so much. highly reccoment

I really enjoyed this class. Straightforward. Lectures were alright, T.A's were really helpful. The book we had to read was interesting. i have to say one of my favorite classes.

Easy class, pretty simple. Showing up to lectures was boring but important for test. I didn't read any of the text and I just went off what we discussed in section. Pretty easy

His lectures were pretty boring. The tests were extremely easy though. And even if you failed the tests, the two essays you had to write in the class would bring your grade back up. The essays are also extremely easy, and can be made up. You don't need to read the book to pass the tests.

Boring, boring, boring lecture. Easy, easy, easy tests. Essay was all made up. pointless to read the novel and the ethnography. it was an easy A. but a boring 50 minutes.

The class was fairly easy and most of the test questions were based on lecture but some of the questions were random. Go to lecture and study every detail on your notes because he would ask things that I wouldn't expect to be important. My T.A. was awesome so that helped a lot. Read the books assigned but don't stress on the little details.

He's class was extremely easy i suggest attend lecture because for me most of the test was based on it! book wasn't that helpful but i still suggest reading it. he's class is boring but can be bearable if you are a patient person. He's an awesome person if you get to know him!

Worst class ever. Do NOT take anthro 2! I thought it would be a fin and intersting class going into my first year of college, but I was very mistaken. Tests were random and lectures were pointless.

The class was pretty easy, but his lectures are so random and pretty boring. Midterm and Final weren't that hard, but he just throws random questions in there, but the class was okay.

I did not enjoy this class. His lectures are boring and you have to do a stupid online project. The tests are only 40 questions and ask the most random things about case studies and anthropologists, but not a lot about key concepts. It's a pretty easy class though.

I am a freshman and this class killed anthropology for me. The lectures were impossible to follow and the online assignment was ridiculous. Professor Walsh's topic choice and presentation was incomprehensible and boring. If you are a freshman I recommend not taking this class or taking Anthro 5.

This class was strange to say the least. Walsh constantly mumbles under his breath. In lectures, he talks about his trips to Mexico over and over again. The lecture material is uninteresting. And we had to participate in some ridiculous online project where we wrote a paper for this company yet we had to pay to register!

Walsh is a great professor. He manages to not only present interesting topics, but lets students discuss them among themselves during class time. This cuts down on the monotany of a 1 and a quarter hour lecture. Definately worth taking.

This guy seriously lacks intelligence. All of the information I learned in the class could be summed up on one page of notes. He spends most of the lectures just repeating himself. Just use common sense on the tests to get an A. The extra reading is not worth your time, just a few questions on each tests about them.
