Winter 2019 - I found the class to be very interesting. The workload is A LOT but after the first two articles, the material itself is easy to understand. You don't have to attend lectures but you NEED to go to discussion because you receive a participation grade. End of quarter survey gave me 4% EC even though he says he doesn't give out extra credit and curving is in your favor. His English is not the best and that translates on his tests through tricky questions. Both the midterm and the final had 6 answer options (4 regular and the other two were all of the above or none of the above). Just do all the readings and you can get an A. I didn't study for any of the tests but I never fell behind on the readings. Selling all books $4 each text me **********

Summer 2018 - this class is now just Anthropology 133. Prof. Kim is great and extremely knowledgeable on the subject. I think this class is only offered during the summer so there are no discussion sections. Participation is important through class discussions and clicker questions. She did assign a good amount of reading but it was doable and most were very interesting. also there was a short research paper open prompt but related to class. she was friendly and willing to make herself available to help with our essays and any other questions/concerns.
