ANTHRO 321
Quality 2/5Difficulty 2/5
Not my favorite. Slow and uninteresting lectures, very repetitive content that did not give a broad or very modern understanding of the topic. Mostly focused on the topics surrounding his own research. Exams were written, and graded based on how many facts you could spit out.

I loved Bunn! He has a great dry sense of humor, is super knowledgeable in the field, and cares about his students. You have to go to lecture, but they were very interesting (as an anthro major, I can see how others would think they're boring). He's a tough grader but always gives good feedback. I would recommend this class to any anthro major!

I wouldn't recommend this class to anyone who isn't an Anthropology major. Bunn's lecture slides are awful, you have to take notes on literally everything. However, he does provide a study guide/slide that literally tells you what you need to know for the exam. If you miss lecture you will NEED to go to office hours.

102 is taught by 5 professors throughout the semester and professor Bunn is the worst one. He is so boring. His exam is the hardest one and requires that you remember minuscule details. There are also essay questions on exams worth 50%. You must cite assigned readings without even knowing what the essay question will be beforehand.

Quality 1/5Difficulty 5/5
Do not take this professor's courses, unless you're an anthropology major and you have to. His lectures have barely any words and mostly pictures, so you HAVE to attend class and listen to every word he says. Exams are overemphasized, you can barely read his hand-written feedback, and he is a relentless grader. His classes set students up to fail.
