George was my favorite of the three anthro100 professors. He actually engaged the class during lecture and would joke around. George was extremely helpful if you don't understand a topic, he even held a 2 hour review session before the exam. I would recommend reading Wisdom Sits in Places, you can see in the book what George teaches in lecture.

Great Professor, very easy and gives a lot of helpful examples. Review session was useful. You don't absolutely need to read Wisdom Sits in Places, chapter summaries were enough.

Material presented was boring and had no connection with itself. Capitalism, neo-liberalism, and random populations of natives in Sulawesi and New Guinea do not have much in common. Review session was great.

Had him for a fifteen person Anthro major course. He was a nice guy for sure, but class wasn't as engaging as I imagined it would be as I love cultural anthropology. My dislike for the class wasn't entirely his fault tho--some enrolled in the class weren't fond of showers.

Semi-Interesting lectures if you're into anthropology. Exam is very fair and easy. Reading the Reindeer people was a waste of time.

Professor George was alright. Reading The Reindeer People was a waste of my time, though. Also, he says "uh" and "um" approx. every third word. But if you can get past that, lectures are semi-interesting...
