Ampson Hagan ANTH265 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/16/2024	All we did was attend 2 lectures and submit an essay every other week. I really like Dr. Hagan as a person, but he assigned a very heavy reading-load especially the first half of the semester and made multiple errors on his exams which was stressful for no reason. Otherwise, not a super hard class, just skim the readings and turn in all the work.
Ampson Hagan ANTH265 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/12/2024	Pros: Prof. Hagan is very knowledgeable and does a good job trying to make his lectures engaging. The curriculum is pretty manageable (I'd rather have midterms than group projects) and the TA's were accommodating if you needed to submit the reading responses late. TBH, you don't really need to read all the readings to understand what's going on in the class / complete assignments so even though there are a lot of them it didn't really matter. Cons: The class is not really taught in a unbiased manner. Most of the content is approached / displayed in a liberal worldview which I expected as we're in college but was still disappointing. Prof. Hagan also had issues with incorrect answers on exams which he did correct but were annoying in the moment.

I found the lectures and course content interesting, topical, and engaging (even as someone not majoring in public health or anthropology). The curriculum is very manageable, so you will do well as long as you keep up with lectures, assignments, and readings. I recommend this course with Dr. Hagan!
Ampson Hagan ANTH265 Expecting an A- Anonymous 12/03/2024	Dr. Hagan is very nice and very passionate about Anthropology which makes his lectures interesting and easy to follow. The tests are all online and you have 24 hours to complete them. The reading responses are short and easy. There is a lot of reading assigned but you really just need to skim them and understand the main idea. Dr. Hagan is very understanding and lenient and I highly recommend taking him for this course.
