OMG this guy is the greatest, his classes are mellow and he grades pretty easy, and he's super sexy! hehe

This guy is the man!

Dear god this man is SOOOOO hot!!! And super easy... And super cool... He made class very enjoyable... :)

very nice and sweet teacher, relates to the students, gives study guides for all tests and quizzes, overall very easy and enjoyable

Great teacher, relates the material so its easy to understand, and tests are very easy.

I will agree, this class is awesome. Usually pretty interesting with fun discussions but even when it drags a little, you still have the teach to stare at...he is super sexy...He is just a fun guy and he wants everyone to do well.Tests are pretty easy too

This teacher is super easy, and a total sex god!

Mr.R was and is a great teacher, he is very personal and willing to help you with almost anything you don't understand. He makes class interesting and you only have two tests and one paper. oh & hes a hunk.

Brad is really cool- he makes it so easy to get the material. And I thought I was the only one staring at his butt, but I guess not!

Great professor - great subject!

fun cool headed guy..likes to talk..but grades a little bit hard in my opinion

He was pretty easy. Really laid back. Two quizzes, one midterm and final, and one paper that's fun to do because you get to go to the zoo. Pretty easy over all.

cool guy. very patient. really entertaining and good at teaching the subject. Only 1 paper that is graded very easily. I got and A and i never even bought the book. Most of midterm and final are takehome.

Great teacher. Well organized, clear, concise. Funny. The kind of guy I'd like to hang out with. Go to class and pay attention. Sit in front. I will take him again, even though I don't need anymore Anthropology.

very funny at times in class and makes studying for his exams easy. He is also a real cool teacher even though anthropology is something I'm not really interested in. Feel free to ask him questions, that is what he likes and wants his students to pass.

a class that never really interested me to begin with, but he made it intersting. Dont agree with all of what he says but he is at least somewhat entertaining during the lecture. overall the class isnt that hard and i would recommend him over Merrifield.

Not strict about dates. Very interesting class, short and easy test and very short paper (2 pages)!

outstanding teacher!!! Highly recommend him.

Very clear- his tests and quizes come from vocab in the book and his lecture notes- simple to follow along- entertaining. One of the most organized teachers at Saddleback. If you need this class for a req. take it with Brad- you'll enjoy it a lot... I did!!

not only is brad funny, but he really knows his stuff. gives a review sheet for each test and quiz, and you have a research paper due. his class totally changed my outlook on evolution, and i changed my major! i HIGHLY recommend his class. i took it @ 7:30 AM, and i was STILL interested.

He is such a great teacher! Very fun and interesting. I am a christian and I still learned a lot about evolution. Although the stuf talked about is basically theory it was a very easy class.

cool teacher i didnt really do anything got bad grades on his testes never really showed up and he still gave me a C cool guy i think u should take it with brad over the other guy easy class good vibe

He is by far the sexiest anthropology professor I've ever had!

very clear on the info you need to know to pass the class. he enjoys what he teaches, which helps you learn it. take good notes and make note cards for the tests and youll get an A. great teacher. easy to talk to.

Great teacher. He is a very personable professor who is really concerned with his students education. The class is impossible fail if you go to class and pay attention. His lectures are clear, well organized, and interesting. Makes a boring subject fun to learn about.

Professor honcho is Mucho Caliente! My grade for him is A+!

I enjoyed this class very much! Brad made it very fun and open. Every shared their own views on subjects and we were always joking around and we definately learned a lot. Two quizes on vocabulary. Midterm on vocab, Final-an essay on the enthnography of the OC. 3 four page book reports.

Brad is a great professor! He really knows his stuff and gets the class involved. He makes the course very fun, and stress-free. I know have a new understanding of Anthropology, and I love the subject. 3 book reports, 2 quizzes, few worksheets (easy), midterm and final (not cumulative). Keep up the great teaching Professor Rettele!

BEST Teacher ever! easy, awesome, and very helpful..

Brad was an awesome teacher who made it a very comfortable atmosphere to learn and participate in class. I learned a lot from the class and to him that is all that matters :)

very cool teacher. still gotta study but easy. very realistic.

This man is aweseome. His goal is to get his students to retain information, not to cram and self-teach. He will work with you all you need to understand. Easy to approach. This subject can be boring, Brad makes it FUN and GREAT. Forget Merrifield, go with Brad. You will not regret it. A VERY cool guy, I would not mind buying him a drink sometime.

So easy. I did not study at all after seeing how ridiculously easy the first test was. Brad is very nice and realistic with where we were and what we could do. He offered extra credit - and I got to get to go to the zoo!

Brad is a great Anthro professor. Clearly he enjoys his profession. Brad made every lecture worth your time. He has opened my eyes to a whole new approach to humanity. We're all animals. Like it or not!!

Brad is an amazing teacher. He may not be the hardest, but his goal is to teach you useful information and help you to retain it. Class material and lectures are aimed toward topics that the students find interesting and important. Speak up, Brad will respect your input and go on some really interesting tangents. Take him. Plus, he's attractive.

He knows his stuff...Some cultures, unfortunately, can't be made very interesting. It's paced in a way that gets you more interested as the Semester progresses, though. He's a nice guy and you should do well if you absorb what is discussed and don't consfuse which culture he's talking about at a particular part of lecture.

This class was great! He knows what he is talking about and a lot of movies in class. He tells you exactly whats on the tests, so study, if you dont it is really hard to pass.

He is really nice and somewhat entertaining. Definitly helpful, but if you want an "A" sit up front, he tends to be more involved with the 1st row only.

hes a raad guy, doesnt care if you go to class or not and it isnt a hard class. quizzes and tests are easy and he hands out study guides for everything. take him!!

Great teacher. I am a little more conservative than he, but I really enjoyed his lectures. He gives un opinionated info., unlike a lot of liberal Saddleback professors. Merrifield lectured one day and, although I was pleased to be allowed the opportunity to learn from him, I actually found myself wishing he would turn the class back over to Brad.

He is an awesome guy! Totally easy class you just have to pay attention if you decide to show, cuz he really doesn't care about attendance. He has a really open mind too, which I think is totally important for his subject.

good teacher, you should show up because he knows you if you come or not. do your work and study guide and the paper you will be soo fine in the class

Good class. watched alot of videos. video papers are easy. 2 quizzes (easy). Midterm got an A (didn't study that much just listened in class). lots of extra credit to ensure an A. Take this class definetely!!

He is the most righteous & celebrated professor on campus. If you don't believe me, just ask him, he'll tell you all about it. His true life experiences are helpful in explaining his lectures.

soo much work/papers but it is such an easy class. he is soo kind and really takes an interest in his students and he lets you out early such a good teacher!

No Comments

this teach is such a hottie! haha thats what I have to say. Read the novel. Do your work, and make sure to stare at him in class lol. I got an A, and I was busy looking at him all class long.

Brad is the best teacher at saddleback. I got an A in the class and are going to take him again for Anth 2. He really makes class fun and interesting. All the chick fall in love with him, but he is really fair with everyone.

Great teacher! Intensely passionate aobut Anthropology which is obvious when he teaches. Took during summer and wish I would've taken class during reg. semester as it was so interesting!

what a wondderful prof! i took him over summer and i loved his class! test were easy and gives a good review for the test. highly rec.!!

great instructor! classwork is simple, homework is easy. Just show up and do your homework- the material is easy to learn. he does a lot of review for tests and is willing to answer questions. highly recommended.

he's really cool

GREAT TEACHER..KEEPS CLASS INTERESTING. MORE POINTS IF YOU COME TO CLASS..TAKE GOOD NOTES, STUDY AND TESTS WILL BE EASY. EASILY ONE OF THE BEST TEACHERS AT THE COLLEGE.

Prof R is a great teacher. The class is easy because he is so enthusiastic while presenting the material. Take this class if you are interested in learning about anthropology.

Brads the man

Take this class, you have to try to fail. He teaches extremely well, and makes it interesting. 2 Quizzes and 2 Tests, and a book analysis. Just show up everyday and write down everything he writes on the board, hands out study guides. This is one of the easiest classes I have taken, take this class. Awesome teacher

Great teacher, young and very intouch with modern issues. very good at relating to students. homework isn't hard, lectures are intriguing. highly recommend!

I took the online class and it was great! No papers, very few quizes. If you read the lecture you will do fine w/o even opening the main txtbk, I actually don't even know if I did. There was a supplemental book with articles that we used weekly, but that was 2-3 pages of reading and interesting. no discussion board, great study guides. Easy A

I've had him for 2 different ANTH classes and have to say he is an amazing teacher! Easy to talk to and willing to help. He's really on the level with the students and knows what he is talking about. He's open to talk about almost anything and encourages students to speak up with their thoughts/questions/opinions w/o judgement. Great sense of humor

best teacher! loved his class!

i hate science but this class is very easy and i learned alot. take this class it is an easy class

I'm suprised he's not already rated.His lectures are extremly fun and he's a hot surfer, Dbl Bonus!!

Very fun class. He relates the subject to students very well and makes it interesting. Many easy exercises and videos to get points on. prepares students very well for the tests and gives quite a few extra credit opportunities. easy "A" and you learn a lot too!

BEST TEACHER AT SADDLEBACK! I took anth 2 with him and had to take anth 1. He really loves the subject and it is very apparent when he teaches. He has a great sense of humor and really cares about his students. Attendance not mand. but he knows if your not there. Sit in the first couple rows and your guaranteed a good grade! TAKE HIS CLASSES!!!!!!!

Highly recommend. Really fun in class lectures and easy homework assignments. Tests easy if you study.

I took this class online. I felt it was extremely well organized and the assignments were crystal clear. I initially had little interest in this class as it was unrelated to my major, however I ended up learning quite a bit of interesting material. Rettele is very fair and has put a lot more care and effort into the class than most online teachers.

awesome teachers... take him you'll love him

going into this class i really thought i'd hate anthro but ended up really enjoying it because of him. retelle's a funny dude and manages to make the class really enjoyable. if you take notes, study and do the zoo assignment you'll get an A. fo sheezy.

best professor ever. class was easy and he's pretty funny. makes it very interesting. very little homework and zoo project took a little time but i actually enjoyed it. tells you everything you need to know for tests also.

If you haven't ever taken an anthropology class before... this teacher is great! He makes everything interesting, lectures are very clear, study his review sheet and youll get an A on the test... i got a good grade without the book, sit in the front in order to hear... he likes to get people involved with his lecture.

Easy? If showing up to class everyday, taking good notes,doing heaps of assignments, and putting in a fair amount of studying is easy, then this guy is. Fortunately this teacher makes showing up to class not so bad. Knew my name and everything. Interesting class and fairly funny.

Definitely recommended! Take good notes and the tests will be pretty easy. Lots of videos. Homework is easy, you don't need the textbook and he offers extra credit. His lectures are interesting and he writes everything on the board, so note taking is easy. He makes the subject interesting by applying it to real life. One 6-8pg book analysis.

Awesome teacher. My favorite in my two years there. Hilarious teacher. Not much hw, just worksheets. You don't need to use the textbook. Makes notes very clear and if you write them down, tests are a sinch. Gives extra credit and the zoo project is very fun and educational. Plays a lot of videos. Highly recommend him.

I'm pretty sure he thinks he's elvis? But a good teacher so far. I am taking his 4 hour summer class...it's not so bad actually. But the term paper is WAY longer than in a regular semester from what I have been reading in previous comments. The videos are no big deal. Busy work, everything is verbatim in all the worksheets. Overall doesn't seem bad

Brad is great! He makes a point to learn names despite the huge class size of 60 students, encourages new ideas. Go to class and do the assignments. He gives you a study guide for quizzes and tests, which are mostly multiple choice and short answer. quizzes and tests are easy if you study actively (quiz yourself instead of just reading study guide)

The class is super easy if you copy all of the notes and review them before the test. The zoo project wasn't very difficult either. If you want to argue about the theories of evolution presented, don't even bother, take a philosophy class instead.

He made it very interesting and the hw was easy points. The tests were hard though and a lot of tricky questions were on the multiple choice. If you don't like to study much for tests I would not recommend this class. He wants you to stay interested and has many relatable exercises. He is very funny. This is not a class I would ever fall asleep in.

This dude is the best teacher at saddleback. took him for ANTH 1 & 2 and got an A in both classes, many ways to get points, and u learn a ton of interesting facts. Highly Recommended

Very organized 8wk online class! Mostly online videos and lite bookwork that have answers to the HW. Use the EXAM REVIEW. Find the answers in the lectures and you will do well on the tests. Ape Genus 6pg paper due 6th week. 3 Discussion boards. All in all a great class and easy A. Just do the work! Would take Prof. Rettele again any day!

Great class! Brad is passionate about his work. He is very clear on what you have to do to get an A. if you take notes and show up to class u dont even have to read one of the text books! Tests are out o lecture and everything on it is on the study guide! Great class and teacher!

he gave me hope that school doesn't have to be torture! I woke up on tues/thurs mornings and was like "Yesss i have anthro today!" i could have the plague and would not miss brad's class. He's hilarious and has great stories:D honestly made me feel more positive about school all around.

Great teacher very helpful and interesting lectures. Had him for Anthro 1 and 2 I recommend to take as many classes as you can with him

Great teacher, funny and good at getting the information across. Definitely take this class.

brad is a great teacher! he makes the class fun and exciting!I would definitely recommend him!

He's decent. Class was kind of boring. He'll spice it up with some analogies once in a while but for the most part class was pretty boring. Midterm, final, 2 quizzes, a term paper, some Annual Editions exercises and video worksheets make up your whole grade. Don't need the book. All articles are online.

Brad is the man. I took him over the summer he is pretty funny and engaging. His videos broke the material up nicely.

Memorize definitions for tests. Several extra credit opportunities. Do the worksheets and don't miss any test reviews. Look at all your notes to prepare. Always willing to help students. Great end of semester project.

Hot, hot, hot... and a great teacher as well.

Need I say more? TAKE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great teacher! brings fun and excitement into a class that i was not interested in at all! He is really good and knows everyones name even in his huge lecture class! I would highly recomend him.

He is a great teacher. The course is kind of confusing going in with no idea what anthropology was at all. I needed it for my major. overall great teacher & really enjoys it! Learned everyones name in a huge lecture class and if you do the study-guides had then you will get at least a B on the test. not to mention he is not to bad on the eyes ;)

took online class & learned a lot. Just do your work and you will get an A

Very cool guy and great teacher! Do the annual editions and try not to miss the video worksheets and youll be set. The quizzes/tests can be alittle tricky but if you put in some effort and study you can handle them just fine. Take this professor! One of the best at saddleback for sure

He makes class worth the time, notes are simple to follow. Study well for the tests, they require almost everything from the notes. (I used a laptop). He gave us plenty of time to finish the zoo project and even provided extra credit.

Moderation erased the other rating. Great teacher, makes learning fun.

Really cool guy and a great teacher! Interesting lectures and vids, he really knows this stuff. He makes it a point to get to know his students. I really enjoyed this course and Brad made this possible!

Very good teacher, and a very nice and helpful guy. As long as you are interested and pay attention, you'll do fine. Highly recommended.

Extermely helpful just pay attention which is not hard becaue hes class is very interesting you will have to work for your grade!

One of the greatest teachers I have ever had! I took him for anthro 1 and 2 got an A in both classes, just make sure you are there for the movies.he doesn't say when they are but they are easy points.Do all the homework, and check your answers on the test and take your time and it is a breeze.He gives you the essay questions for the mid-term&final

My favorite teacher I've ever had. Such a fun class, you learn a lot, but it is easy. I had no interest in anthropology, but now I love it. Show up and take notes, and you'll get an A. Everyone should take his class.

Makes anthropology more interesting than any other teacher - very clear and organized. A really cool guy all around. I decided to major in anthropology after taking his class, and I didn't even know what it was beforehand! Loves his subject and makes you love it too.

You don't use the the main textbook just the annual editions book. i actually understood the lessons. i like going at my own speed,easy teacher. just do the assignments and you'll be fine.he gives reviews before every test. fill them out and keep with you when you take the test. comes from the review!!

Awesome teacher!! Zoo project is cool, you learn alot. class is not "easy" but he is a fair grader if he can tell you have studied! I recommend this class to anyone interested in anthro or not, its awesome!!! great teacher!!

I wish I could've taken the non-online class with him. All the lectures he posts online (and btw, you don't need the textbook if you take the online class) are really interesting, so he is probably a good lecturer as well. Easy class as the answers to the tests and quizzes are on the lectures.

He's cool, helpful, anthro is just really dry and dull, but rettele makes it somewhat better. its a fair class, would recommend

If you drop out of this class, you my good friends are just plain stupid. He is an absolutely great teacher who loves the subject and knows how to teach it. The class is very simple, with 2 quizzes and 2 tests, and 1 paper of you going to the zoo or reading a book. Take the class, you'll have a lot of fun :)

Mr. Rettele is truly a professor who loves his subject. He loves to crack jokes, and memorizes names after like, 2 weeks. His class is easy to pass if you have good to moderate attendance, and i didnt even have to buy the text book. if you dont take his class, youre missing out!!!!!! and he's kinda hot i guess haha.

The only Anthro teacher worth a recommendation... and worth a great one at that. Register for his class ASAP cuz it WILL fill and stay full. Petitions.. good luck.

Brad is the reason I'm an anthropology major. Anth can be a dry subject with other professors, but Brad makes it interesting. He's the clearest and best Anth professor at saddleback. If it's your first introduction to the subject, don't settle for anyone else! He needs to teach more classes!

Wow!!! Best teacher i have ever had!!! Wonderful and great lookin in one! what a catch. He made anthro very interesting, tho i did get an A i worked hard for it! Not the easiest class but if you study hard and work hard it will be easy. I highly suggest taking anthro with this teacher

Great Professor. Very well-informed in his subject area. Made the class very fun and interesting. Always ready to answer questions and help students. If you take the notes he gives in class, you should do very well on his tests. Would definitely recommend him.

Great Professor. Very well-informed in his subject area. Made the class very fun and interesting. Always ready to answer questions and help students. If you take the notes he gives in class, you should do very well on his tests without reading the book. Assigns a pretty interesting zoo project. Would definitely recommend him.

Great teacher. Very helpful and encourages feedback from the students. He doesn't take roll but trust me you're not going to want to miss class. He makes the course interesting and the notes you take in class are very helpful for the quizzes/midterms/final. I only used the book to review terms toward the end of the semester.

Really made biological anthropology interesting. I loved the zoo project, i will never look at the apes the same way after learning just how similar we are. Professor Rettele is extremely helpful and is very easy to talk to. You have to read and attend class though because the subject is difficult.

Such an awesome professor. Made coming to class everyday something I would look forward to. The zoo project and going to the zoo to observe primates was a great experience.Class is pretty easy, just show up for the lectures, dont miss the video ws or annual editions ws, and study HIS NOTES--for quizzes or tests.

Brad is such a great teacher and has made me change my major to anthropology. he makes it a point to learn everyones name and get to know every single person in the class. he gives you study guides and takes attendance from video worksheets that he gives at random. I wish he taught more because his class was the only class i looked forward to

Rettele is an amazing professor who makes a great effort to know every students name. An easy A as long as you attend class and do his homework!

Awesome teacher! Very approachable and makes class interesting. The main text isn't mandatory, but may include some info not in his notes. I did have to study a lot for the 1st quiz and mid-term, but it gets easier. Also offers one (large) extra credit assignment. Can't wait for ANTH2!

Good teacher and easy class; definitely recommend you take him.

One of a kind professor. Down to earth and very approachable. He is very clear on what you must know on his quizzes and exams. He also goes out of his way in getting to know all of his students.

Brad is awesome, he relly is passionate about the subject which made it interesting and not such a drag. I highly suggest taking his class. Thanks Brad for making my first class back in school fun.

He is a good teacher and fairly easy. Pay attention in his class and do the homework. Doing both will help you to pass your tests. There is a fun zoo project you get to do as well, so I suggest taking him in a classroom and not online.

Fun guy, fun class. Took his 4 hr summer cultural anthro class. This was my 1st anthro class but I found the material pretty interesting. Lectures can be a little unstructed at times but overall he is a great teacher. Shows very interesting videos & documentaries in class. Had worksheet to do every night but they were fairly easy

Great teacher! A must take. Is passionate about his work and treat everyone with respect. Cool dude. Easy in class assignments and zoo project fun. I got an A. Few HW which was easy straight from the book.

Incredibly great teacher! Brad doesn't have the easiest tests, but if you attend, take notes, & do homework, you WILL learn a ton. He is genuinely interested in the success of his students. Plenty of work in the class, but not overwhelming. Must do a zoo observation paper or read a full book of his choosing with a report. Doesn't talk down to class

Rad teacher. Honestly, if you show up to class, do the reading exercises, and study a couple days before the test youll do fine. Down to earth guy. Tests are more of a challenge but there derived from the quizzes, so many of the questions on the quizzes come up again on the test. Stoked i took the class. only buy the cheaper of the two textbooks

I love this guy! Best teacher ever! The quizzes & test are easy if you study a few days before the tests. The questions are straight from the notes & he even check marks the notes that will for sure be on the tests. An inspiring teacher & connects with his students, he will actually take the time to know all of his students by first and last name.

This class was so interesting. If you study and do the work, the test and quizes are easy. Really enjoyed this class.

Excellent professor! Makes lecture enjoyable, informative and interesting. His tests are fair, as is his grading. Take him if you get chance!

Great professor. Really knows his stuff. Tests are hard and you have to work hard but hes interesting and is passionate about his subject..Love him and hes HOT !!

He has the best notes ever! He goes out of his way to learn everyone's names and answers everyone's questions. Extremely nice professor and will be clear of what you need to know for the final.

He is a really nice guy. He makes a really big effort and it really shows.

Best professor I have ever had!ho is brilliant, knows his subject and his classes are NEVER boring. Wish he taught more classes..

Great Prof. Best one at Saddleback. really knows his stuff. No fooling around. Pay close attention. Lots of information. Tests r hard. dont miss any class.Pop quizes count as alot of your grade. Fun zoo project. Huge part of grade. Interesting..Really lov this guy and hes hot !

My favorite Anthropology teacher at saddleback. He is extremely clear about what you need to know and why you need to know it for his exams. I really enjoy Anthropology and Brad made it easy to understand all the complicated things you have to learn. BEST TEACHER EVER!

Best Anth 1 professor I had! Hands down! Take him if you could. Make sure you read the materials though.

Professor Rettele always made it very clear what would be on the exam. The zoo project had detailed instructions that were easy to follow. Daily assignments were easy, and there was plenty of extra credit available.

This guy is a great professor in terms of describing everything clearly. I had him during the summer session, two quizzes,midterm and final which are exactly from the study guide. One field trip which is the zoo project. Take good notes and you will be fine. easy class

This guy is the man. Love his job and does a great job doing it. Take this class.

Really Great Teacher. Favorite professor. Respectful toward students. Down to earth. interesting lectures and material. fun class.

Best professor hands down! Must study hard for tests. lots of homework and text use. He is so clear, funny, brilliant and I learned more in one semester with him than any other professor. EXCELLENT..and Hot !!

Professor Rettele is super cool and helpful. In this class, there is not a lot of work, but exam can be a little bit tough.

Very clear and concise teacher. He does not take attendance but every quiz and test is straight from his lectures. Occasional in class assignments that require attendance to complete. Highly recommend if you are planning on showing up.

Do the study guide, take notes and get an A.

Great teacher! he explains everything clearly! his tests are not hard as long as you study and go to class. He has hw but they are easy worksheets, if you are not able to turn it in on time you have until the next class to turn it in for partial credit. He gets to know everyone so you are not jus another student.Best teacher at saddleback!

Really easy class. Video exercises in class so you have to come for those. HW is easy worksheets. Has a quiz and then midterm on first half of class info, then quiz and final on second half of class info. Zoo project (easy paper). Interesting class and really nice professor.

San diego zoo project 80 points mid term 80 pts final 80 pts... The hw points add up and he reviews the hw so take notes... A lot of note taking will be done here....Take lecture notes, study the notes, understand the notes, and be able to teach the material... you'll get an A

He is very helpful. I love his class. As long as you do his hw, you will be fine. Take him you never regret. He is the best anthropology insctructor in saddleback college. I'm second langauge student and I took anthropology 1 & 2 with him. He is so nice.

He's so cool. He's a very laid back guy and really cares about his students and their success. Minimal homework. Our final exam is going to a zoo and writing a paper on it. I would highly recommend his class.

What an amazing man. Rettele took over our anthro course after prof Merrifield passed, and he has done so flawlessly. I couldn't have asked for a better professor to continue teaching, and he deserves all the credit. His teaching style can be a bit scattered, but if you take your notes and pay attention the class is passable. Would recommend!

This class was super interesting and he's really funny/entertaining

Very easy class, nice guy, can't go wrong with this class. Easy A. Study for test.

Professor Rettele is a great guy and will do anything in his power to help his students. His notes and lectures can be hard to follow sometimes, but if you dont understand something he will make sure to clear it up for you. I would highly recommend Brad and I look forward to taking cultural anthropology with him.

Really, really good teacher. He explains everything with great clarity and makes lessons interesting. Tests are relatively easy as long as you study and homework is interesting. Loads of extra credit to complete also. This class is really fun, I would recommend it to anyone.

Rettele's class was ridiculously EASY. He does have some sloppy issues when it comes to writing on the board, but everything he wants you to know is on the test. His teaching method is so easy to follow. I recommend this teacher to anyone, and anthro is such an easy subject! Overall one the the best teachers at Saddleback

Took over our class after Prof Merrifield passed away. He kept the class easy but wasn't as engaging as Merrifield. He gives an outline before each test which should guarantee you an A as long as you study.

Rettele explains things well. Study the notes and study guide and you'll be good for the quizzes and exams. Coming into the class I knew nothing about anthro. but Rettele made me interested in the subject. He is a funny and nice guy. Show up, do the work, study, and get an A.

Awesome teacher loves the subject and is easy to approach

Brad is a really easy professor. He writes out everything on the board and tests primarily on that information but does assign readings that you will be tested on. Super easy and helpful. Certainly going to take his Anth 2 class

He writes his notes on the board and when a test is coming up he will tell you exactly what to study. Does require you to read articles and answer questions on what you read. His class is overall easy to take. He is a great teacher.

One of the best teachers at Saddleback. Great guy. You learn a lot. Its not overly difficult just have to do your work.

I loved his class. He is such a great professor and knows what he is teaching! I highly recommend him!

Awesome professor! So far, my favorite at Saddleback! Lectures were very entertaining, he was humorous, and keep the class intrigued. Only wrote on the board info that would be on the test, and study guides matched all notes. Tests were easy, not much work in the class. Points for video questions and article. Great class!

Honestly, the best teacher ever. So incredibly clear with what he wants. He makes the class incredibly fun and interesting. Hands down a wonderful class and professor!

He's honestly the best teacher I've had. I took both cultural and biological anthropology with him because he's so good at his job. I'd highly recommend taking his class

Quite possibly the best teacher I've ever had. He's a great teacher who is always willing to help his students. His class was fun and entertaining - from the videos he showed to the lectures he gave, he made going to an 8am class enjoyable for me (which is saying a lot). Tests were on exact material he taught and one or two readings. Take him!

This is one of the greatest professors that I've had, and one of the greatest educators I've had. Prof. Rettele made the class fun. I didn't miss a class, and I didn't want to. The class very easy. This Professor was one of those Profs that make you have interest in a subject that you just took on a whim. Don't hesitate; take this Professor.

Take his classes! You will not regret it. I wish all instructors and professors were as great as him. His expectations are reasonable, he gets that you have other classes besides just his. Mr. Rettele, if you are reading this, THANK YOU!!!!

You should definitely go to class because there are mini movies that you get 5 points for I think just for being there. Definitely capable of getting an A. He clearly tells you how to do well in class so if you listen to him its do able. Show up to class, take notes, and do homework and you will be good to go. He doesn't try to trick you.

The most easiest class I have ever taken. I never showed up as he doesn't take attendance and managed to get an A. He assigns extra credit (up to 20 points) if you go to the tutor center and obtain a card that you went. Also, there is a zoo project that you have to complete. He brought candy & donuts on the last day of class- really nice professor!

Highly recommend this class if you need the credit or if you just want to learn. I loved attending class, the lectures are always super interesting and almost always shows an awesome video to go along with the lecture. Tests are straight forward, a couple of short answers, interesting material. Super cool, and really funny . Youll love it
