ANTHR105 · course not matched2010-12-27

Quality 4/5Difficulty 5/5

Really boring but passionate on the subject. Exams were picky and very detailed from lecture. Textbook is a good background but not vital in succeeding.

Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5

Awesome! Lectures were interesting, explained concepts clearly and went over important points several times, exams were multiple choice and not cumulative. Only a few textbook questions on the exam.

Great lecturer, keeps everything interesting and throws in a few jokes. He's really excited about the subject, which always makes a course more fun.
