He makes you read three books and watch three documentaries over the course of the whole semester and put them as exam questions. His lectures are boring and him and his TAs walk around during exams so you won't cheat. |

He does provide slides, but they're nothing, and they won't help you much on the exams. So you have to come to class and listen to his lectures. He was also pissy about attendance bc his lectures are SO boring. His labs are easy, but TAs grade so harshly, for no reason whatsoever. During exams, TAs and Dr.Vilar will go around and see if you are cheating. Dr. Vilar is very passionate, but his lectures are SUPER boring, which is sad because the topic is so interesting. He barely posts assignments, so if you have one bad assignment, it will tank your grades, and there isn't much extra credit or assignments where you can boost your grades. His exams are worth 15 points, so there is no way for you to mess up at all. But like he is passionate and a nice dude but you prob have to kiss ass if you want a grade boost or something bc there would be students lining to talk to him after the end of every class. This class isn't bad, but it's not worth going to boring lectures and in-person exams for a gen-ed lab. |

For people saying they never went to class, and got an A, they are liars. Dr. Vilar provides the note slideshows but they don't help you on the exam unless you have the information that was explained. The slides are bare with no substance. I really like him though. He's passionate. |

Dr Vilar is great! But it isn’t as easy as the reviews say. Exams are worth 15 points. So you mess up a little, not getting an A. |

I never attended a single lecture. Only lab once a week and those were free points. I never studied for a single exam, it is in person but online on canvas and open note. Easiest A+ of my life and never even had to attend any lectures or do any work. |

he is a great guy and lecturer, though I must admit I skipped class most weeks. this is because I was able to keep up through him posting lecture slides online, and doing the required readings + documentaries. going to lab is necessary of course, but my labs pretty much always ended early/never were actually two hours and were not too challenging for me as a non-stem major. I'm definitely glad I took this to get my DSNL out of the way! |

I took this class to fulfill my lab requirement and enjoyed it for the most part. I really loved the lab and felt that I learned the most from them. I would say that the tests aren't always super straightforward and you should make sure to have all of your notes organized and correct. Overall would reccomend taking the class for the content because it's very interesting and the professor is very nice and accommodating. |

This class was stupidly easy - I finished with a 102%. Labs were easy, TA's were helpful and Professor Vilar clearly knows a lot about the subject. He is very much a morning person and was disappointed my class was not, but he still was very friendly and this class was a great way for a non-stem major to get their DNSL credits. Would recommend! |

ANTH222 was not just an easy A, but a genuinely fun class as well. Dr. Vilar is a great lecturer, exuding kindness and warmth. Going to lecture is pretty necessary, but if you pay any bit of attention, you'll score high on the exams. |

I took him over the winter semester for anth222. Very friendly guy with a lot to share. His tests are very fair if you pay even a bit of attention in class and the out of class assignments are not very time consuming nor difficult. The labs are mostly just busy work. though |
