I was failing this class because I hate this subject so much, but it's a requirement for my major. I called him with my concerns, and not only did he stay on the phone with me for 16 minutes, but he offered lots of help and allayed my fears. He's a great guy in my book. He really wants his students to do well.

Dude likes to talk. A lot. He's OK, but not very engaging and gives exams the same day he needs to finish up his lectures. Avoid this class if you can, especially since it's only once a week.

very boring lectures, especially if you take the seminar one like i did. the fact is that he thinks you are way more knowlegable about mayan glyphs than you are for an intro class, and for being a one twenty the work load was intense. however, he does let you re do homework and is good about helping you and emails. id say weekly homework is 4 hrs

Boring lecturer yes, but this man is still passionate about the material and a really kind prof. He is there for his students, and is super chill.

Great Proffesor. Keeps you interested and from falling asleep. His lecture notes were already online, so all you had to do was sit back and enjoy the story. Exam was a little tough though.

He's a solid professor. He likes to talk and is more into the archeological aspect of the topic. In my opinion, this led to him getting off topic and focusing on things I didn't feel were as important to the subject. Tests are pretty standard - Identification, Short Response, and Essay. You're supposed to read the book, but class seemed like enough
