Dr. Alexei is HILARIOUS! He is by far one of the greatest professors that I have had at UCLA. He is very concerned about the grades that his students make and is always willing to give outside help to ensure the success of those taking his class. Without a doubt, I would take his class again. If you are interested in Anthropology, and especially South American Archaeology, then you would be fortunate to take this class. Alexei is very confident in his knowledge. His class is not easy, nor is it difficult. If you are interested in South American Archaeo, then this class is fair and interesting.

Professor Vranich has so far been one of my favorites. I am currently taking Religion 177 with him and I always look forward to class. He brings a sense of humor to his lectures and connects with students in a way that engages them to want to learn. He does require readings but most of the classes he teaches are very interesting, so the readings are not dull nor boring. I recommend taking a class with him!
