Take this class in the summer: pretty easy, lots of videos, didn't read a page of the 4 books assigned. I got a D on the first test, aced the final and got a B in the class. Very easy and friendly professor.

(Peoples/Cultures Mexico) A very knowledgable and enthusiastic professor that understands his students. Lots of reading on a per week basis, but you clearly know what he expects on exams and papers. I got an easy A and have learned a lot.

Low stress class. If you go to class you can get by with minimal reading. Very nice professor.

Can anybody say boring!! Had to bring other work just to keep myself awake. Reviews for test are exactly what's on it. Did not read one page of the 4 books and got a B in the class. Attendance counts so tough it out.

To much information at once! Tests have at least 5 tribes on them, and expects you to know every minor detail.

If you can come to every class and pay attention during lectures, don't even bother buying the book for Intro to Anthropology.

Good teacher. Makes learning about different tribes interesting since he actually stayed with a tribe.

This class is pretty interesting, except you do have to read a lot, especially during the end of the course. It makes it easier to print out his lectures and sit in the front of the class.

Excellent and very helpful. Approach him respecfully, though I have witness @#%& students giving him a hard time, even though he was trying to curve the grade...that's a no no. He's a good professor.

I don't know how anyone doesn't do well in this class. Find yourself a fly honey to sit next to and flirt with while Biglow does his thing. Heres a hint, I had him for summer semester and i never opened my book. I got a B so if you try it should be all gravy. What yo do with the girl is up to u.

Never read a damn thing and got an A. Study guides are the test, show up to class and take skim notes and A guaranteed because you'll be in a big class full of intellectuals who don't show up to class. Go to class, ignore how boring it is and you can't fail people. YOU DONT EVEN HAVE TO READ!

Very good professor, he is a little weird but very easy a if you go to the lectures.

Only the complainers seem to use these. The class is easy and he interacts well with students in Q&A. If you don't learn anything, you obviously didn't care. Summer was a blast. At his best when students do the reading and can discuss.

I love it when teachers use blackboard. It makes things so simple.

You really don't even need to read the book. Just take good notes and attend class. Pretty easy test, multiple choice w/ 2 essays. Doesn't like it if your late.

I'm guessing last few reviewers didn't actually attend class, which is necessary to pass. He is excited about Ant which is why his class is interesting. He shows lots of films, but interesting ones. Total points 175 and you can do an extra credit paper for 20. Do the math ...I read very little, but listened to lectures and ended up with 102%. If

The class is a breeze if you just do your work, take notes and go to class. He takes roll, and it is a part of your grade. Do the assignments on blackboard. Sometimes the lectures are a bit boring and he's a little odd, but he knows what he's talking about.

In one word, weird! He's an odd man. Very into his subject. leactures from notes on black bored and shows short films. Test are tricky but he gives extra credit on every exam making it easy to get a whole grade higher than what you would have gotten without it. Not a bad teacher, he just doesn't teach the most exciting course.

He is a great professor! His lecture is fun!!! and he is very helpful!! He is great not only as a professor, but also as a person. It's easy A class, as far as you understand what is going on during the class.

Awesome! Fun and engergetic and tells about his own field work.

Biglow is a puzzle for being so enthusiastic about the subject matter the class is kinda boring. You would think he would find some way to spice it up a little. 3 hours class is 3 hours no early releases. But if you like Anthropology, good class, I'm dual majoring because of him. Go to class if you want to pass. Oh & hes Paul Giamatti from Sideways

This class sounds interesting, but its really not if you take Dr. Biglow. All we do everyday is powerpoints and videos. It could be so much better! Its hard to stay awake in his class. On the other hand, its pretty easy. All lectures on blackboard. I wouldnt take him again though.

He is a trip! He gets so into what he's teaching that it's funny! His class was pretty easy! He's an easy grader on papers, quizzes, and exams. You should go to class because during the 2nd part of the semester he gave quizzes once a week! He tells you specifically what is going to be on the exam!

Liked the professor, but the class (Kinship and Family) wasn't my favorite. He is a very enthusiastic professor, so I think that's what kept my attention. He is also very helpful and willing to talk to you on an individual basis. He is not one of those rigid professors who views their students as if they're cattle.

Im a business major so most of this class was boring for me, however I found some chapters/topics interesting. Attendance is mandatory;print out powerpoints and take to class to take additional notes. If you read, come to class, and listen to lectures you should easily get a B. One 5 page paper that isn't too hard. I ended up with a A.

Not a bad professor. Kind of goofy but passionate about what he teaches. I took ZERO notes. Just pay attention in class, watch the videos and you'll be fine. 5 page paper is pretty easy, make sure you cite EVERYTHING. Be on time and don't leave early. He really hates that. Even though attendance is not mandatory, he notices when ur absent

He's really helpful outside of class, but make sure you show up and stay the whole time. Try to talk to him some so he knows you- You'll do better in the course for it.

Boring and tells lame jokes all the time. Very biased and discriminating towards other cultures. The class is easy though if you read the book. All you have is the midterm and an online final. Gives extra credit if you stay in class all the way through. Just read the book and do the online quizzes and you should do fine.

He's a great professor and loves what he teaches. He's not hard, but you do have to study in order to pass. Attendence isn't mandatory, but it's your benefit to come to class for understanding. You will read all the books assigned, but its not that bad.

He loves what he does and is very excited. He likes students to speak up in class. He takes attendance but you dont have to go everyday. His exams are easy because he gives you exactly what to study for. I liked him a lot.

He is a kool guy. Loves to tell jokes in class but serious about covering his material in the time allotted to class. Shows a lotta videos n his tests are easy once you read the books..overall...he's a kool guy

I liked him. If you go to class you wont have any issues. He is willing to help and responds to emails quickly. I enjoyed the books we read too.

pretty easy, didnt do the huge paper and still got a B.. easy quizzes

This North American Indians class was made interesting by a prof that knows his subject area. His interest will help to raise your interest. The paper was short and the tests were easy if you listened. I didn't read at all, just went to class, listened, took notes and made an A.

I really liked his class, it was not at all what I was expecting, but he made it fun and interesting. He is pretty quirky but thats ok, just laugh along. He is really sweet and it was easy to pass the course, just do the readings. Oh, and the tests are a breeze.

Biglow is a very refreshing professor. Loves what he does and likes class participation. Attendance is used for borderline grades. I would take him again.

Biglow is a great professor. He is passionate about the subject. The exams are absurdly easy, especially with the online study guides (Easy A) Lots of vids/mp3s too. Attendance was not mandatory although he did take role at the start of class. The class seemed more like liberal apologism than Indian studies at times, but he was a fair grader.

This is the second time that I am taking his class. The first time, I got a D because I didn't go to class and only read at the last minute. This time I have gone to all of the classes and read ahead of time. I have gotten A's so far. I am finding it far more interesting this time around and I actually really enjoy him as a professor. Smart guy.

He is a good teacher for the course. Reading the material is mandatory to an extent. Tests are relatively easy, with extra credit. Lectures are usually power point and old movies. All in all, he is a decent teacher for the course.

Great class. Not an attendance NAZI, only showed up like 50% of the time and passed with a B. The papers were easy and so were the tests. I never studied or took notes. So if you apply yourself even just a little you'll get an A, no doubt!

Dr. Biglow was my favorite professor. He is a great speaker and keeps the class interesting most of the time. Most professors at UNF would do well to watch how he teaches a class. Very organized and methodical, no surprises, and its obvious he enjoys what he does. Take him.

Anyone who has said NOT to take this prof must be lazy. He is super easy, knows his stuff, and all he asks is that you read the fairly interesting books(which he assigns in small doses). If you do not, you will be using an entire day to complete his study guides. But they reflect EXACTLY what's on the test. Best teacher I've had at UNF.

I think he is a great professor! He is very organized, everything is writted on the syllabus of what is going on each day and you can tell he enjoys teaching! He does 4 exams. He gives study guides and if you read everything and attend class you will do fine on the test!

North American Indians class. Well organized, well-paced schedule, lecture can get a little on the dull side occasionally. Essentially a good professor. He keeps his material on blackboard for the students' convenience(powerpoints, video links), sticks to the schedule, makes study guides that do help, and has only 4 tests. Attendance affects grade.

He does have a bit of an issue with power but its an easy class. Gives study guides, if you do them its an easy A. quizzes are best 10 out of 12 which are also very simple to do. Seems like a high school teacher more than a professor trying to get the class to behave. I would easily take it again.

When I signed up for this class I wasn't exactly sure what it was about. But once the class started I liked it alot. it's easy, if you read the material and attend class. He really is into what he's teaching. I recommend taking this class, but ONLY if you are willing to read a decent amount.

easy class and hes okay but thinks his jokes are funny when they are not! come to class and you will pass!
