ANTH266 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/13/2024 |
I took him for ANTH266 which had an abnormally high A rate, and WOW it was easy. You could tell he was passionate about climate change, and he mostly talked about his experiences at other Universities or his trips in Africa working with tribes, etc. He generally reads off a PowerPoint each class period and goes on rants. The assignments are simple 200-word responses to weekly readings, videos, or movies each week. Yes, 200 words. The readings are quite long usually, so I usually skim it over and focus on key ideas I think are important, and just talking about those fills up the word count. To get a good grade on these weekly assignments, just write down a few specifics here and there and don't just paraphrase, but write down your genuine thoughts - that's it. There are four essays (about 500ish words) but every assignment is worth 100 points. The grades always range from 89-95, so don't get frustrated if you don't get 100 because almost no one gets 100. He does say he grades on participation, so add input here and there. THERE ARE NO MIDTERM OR FINAL EXAMS! The short-essays act as such, and he usually grades pretty nicely on those, just write well (check for grammar, make a good title, make sure you have citations, etc.). Overall, pretty impossible to get a low grade, and definitely recommend for a 3-cred gen-ed or filler class. |
