The best aspects of this class were the readings and the freedom to pursue subjects of interest for paper topics. Students appreciated the balance of theoretical and empirical readings, as well as the professor’s knowledge and enthusiasm about the subject. Some students felt that although the reading was interesting, it became repetitive at times. Suggestions for improvement included taking the class outside, making the course a twice a week class, and providing more prompt feedback on assignments. Prospective students should know that they do not need to be an anthropology major to succeed in and benefit from this class.
