So nice and helpful. very passionate. and very cute too. and shows funny videos in class and you can tell he really wants to help his students.

Great Prof! Loves what he does. Friendly and very philosophical. Has somewhat strange, but interesting theories. Never preaches, just presents ideas. Encourages you to think. Lots of audio-visual material used. Unique (and IMO awesome) lecture style. A lot of readings but they were good. 2 (unique :P) assignments and a mostly multiple choice final.

AMAZING prof! He's so passionate, the readings he assigns are so interesting and super relevant. Really different and original course!

Sometimes lecturing style can seem very rehearsed and it's dull. However, Kohn simply exudes passion for anthro. He's always smiling and laughing, very laid-back, and flexible. Tons of videos!!! :) The 2 assignments are short and fun to do. You must go to lectures. A lot of reading. Just take this class! It is definitely something to talk about!

Wonderful prof and possibly my favourite class ever. I looked forward to going to class, the assignments were fun, and i even enjoyed studying for the final. a lot of reading and a hard final, but once you catch some of prof kohn's passion for the subject it won't seem like work. Highly recommended!

Great prof. Gives engaging lectures and poses a lot of questions for the class to think about. Really interesting assignments and pretty fair final exam.

Great class. Great prof. Interesting, different, fun. Learned so much and loved going to lectures. Got UPSET when I missed one! Highly recommend this class

The teacher is engaging and funny. The course is basically 50% assignment and 50% multiple choice final. There are lots of readings which are definitely all required to get a good grade. It can be very confusing and bizarre for those who aren't very open minded.

Dr Kohn has very interesting theories about anthropology and what interested me the most was the way he makes links between the different topics covered in class. He clearly loves the discipline and is passionate about what it is he teaches

Absolutely amazing professor who's dedicated enough to make anyone and everyone love the class. Put in enough effort to ensure discussion in practically every lecture despite the size..he is a ball of passion for anthro.

Great guy, great prof! The class is a bit strange, but if you keep an open mind, it's super interesting. The final is based solely on the readings, so do them yourself. Go to class, read the readings, put in some effort and an A is easily achievable.

Eduardo is the best!!! He is so passionate about the class and some of his lectures are absolutely fascinating. Getting a good mark can be a bit tricky since the subject matter is abstract, but such an interesting course, you won't regret taking it!! A lot of fun

most passionate teacher i have ever had at mcgill. knows what he is talking about, the readings are long but extremely interesting, if you do them, the multiple choice exam is really easy. lots of discussions in class. for the assignment you have to go to some place in montreal, observe the people and write a review the like a real anthropologist!

Best class and lecturer I've had at McGill BY FAR! We just had our last lecture of the semester today.I'm kind of sad that it's over and I know a lot of my classmates feel the same way. The readings (which yes, are long) and the lectures are extremely interesting and the assignments are actually really fun to do!

Prof. Kohn is an extremely passionate lecturer. The class is very interesting and so are the readings in the coursepack. Taking a class with Kohn is a must for anyone interested in cultural anthropology. His lectures willl blow your mind

he is a great professor, this course is incredibly interesting and you can really have good grades.

Professor Kohn is an inspiring lecturer who had me captivated all semester. His assignments are easy and quite entertaining as well! Though there is a lot of reading, it is all interesting and he explains it well in class. Definitely a recommended course to see if anthropology is interesting to you!

One of the best professors I've had! Brilliant, engaging, caring, and super down to earth. If you are willing to put in the time to read and you like discussion, I highly recommend this class.

Amazing prof, really easy to get As on your assignments but a very hard final.

It's rare to find someone as passionate about teaching at McGill as Kohn; he actually cares that you learn the material and preform well. An impressive anthropologist in his own right, he's very accessible. Classes are interesting, lectures engaging. If you make an effort, you get a good grade. Class is great intro for the subject.

The best and most passionate professor I've ever had. He is a very good lecture and it is worth going just because they are always entertaining. He is the only professor I've ever seen that was able to engage the entire lecture hall. Absolutely recommend his classes.

Most helpful, passionate, dedicated and compassionate professor I have ever had. Genuinely cares about his students. If I were to recommend any class, it would be his.

Amazing professor. His was my first ever anthropology class and he made me LOVE it, and take many more after. Passionate, helpful, funny and engaging- I really enjoyed his classes. A lot of reading but all interesting, and he makes them all seem clear in class. Great prof, great class!

A very experienced and passionate anthropologist that brings a lot of his fieldwork knowledge into the lectures. The class is really interesting but the readings are sometimes a bit flakey and confusing, which is essentially the only thing the exam covers. Overall, I recommend this class

For those who don't like readings avoid this class because the whole course is just based on tones of readings which are btw not so easy and sometimes hard to judge what is important and whats not. With this said, 50% 2 assignment very easy to get 90%+ if u do as required and consult ur TA's. 50% Final exam on just pure factual info from readings !

He was honestly the coolest ever, so funny, often off-topic but overall the course is so great you'll do well on the written assignments but the final was difficult (multiple choice and very reading heavy and specific) I only read about half but went to the lectures because he's the best and finished with a B.

assignments are fun and easy, which is good because the final was the hardest i've ever taken (i'm in sciences). every final question was really reading-specific and unnecessarily tricky, even though we were told that they were going to focus on concepts. would not reccommend unless you have a photographic memory. but kohn is a nice guy.

Interesting professor who is very passionate about anthropology. ANTH 202 is a great introduction to anthropology and includes some interesting lectures and assignments. Highly recommend this prof for those who want to explore a bit about anthropology from an enthusiastic professor.

An amazing lecturer. It is true that you must do the readings, which are occasionally somewhat long. However, they are all extremely interesting, so you won't be bored reading them. Also, the final exam wasn't nearly as difficult as some here have been suggesting. If you have done the readings , it is actually a quite straightforward MC exam.

Readings are long but normally interesting. The assignments seem applicable to anthropology and are interesting and then the final is 50 mcq and doesn't seem anthropologically relevant. It is all reading based. Finally is basically testing wether or not you attended but even if you did and read all the readings it brings down your mark tremendously

One of the best courses I've ever taken at Mcgill. As long as you do the readings and get creative with the assignments you'll be able to get an A. Just pay attention to the details on the 50 multiple choice questions for the final

The two assignments were extremely easy and worth 50% of your grade, the final was the hardest I've ever taken but I assume if you do every single one of the hundred readings it would be easy. I was one percent away from a B+ and he didn't bump me up but that's probably standard

Some of the best lectures I've had! No slides at all, so attendance is crucial to write down what he says (or record it). Although he does go off in different directions, what he says somehow integrates the material. A lot of readings and the final does have questions on the readings, so must be familiar. Assignments are fun (no midterms)

Pr Kohn is really excellent. He is really trying to make you think and is questionning the whole field of anthropology through his approach. Not always easy to follow or to get everything, but the course is interesting and the readings are excellent. Readings were posted online. Not so hard to have a good grade. Great Class !

great prof, very interesting lecturer. Was my first anthropology course and I found it fascinating. It is imperative that you attend lectures. Multiple choice final was very forgiving if you understood the main themes of all the readings. The course doesn't really make sense throughout but dont worry, you will understand it and love it by the end!

Professor Kohn was a very interesting professor - he'll make you want to befriend him! Many interesting stories, hilarious guy (invited his mother to one of the lectures.) but you will have to work as it was sometimes hard to understand and not very concise! Especially if Anthropology is a field you are unfamiliar with.

As a person, Kohn is super nice, laid back, and interesting. However, as a teacher, he really isn't all that great. He reads his lectures off his IPad and often moves way too quickly when explaining subjects that are actually really hard to understand because they are so abstract. The material is SUPER interesting though, and so are the assignments

simply wow! This was easily one of the top 2 most interesting courses I've taken since coming to McGill, and I'm in my third year. You learn a great ton! Make sure you take very clear reading notes as that's what most of the final is composed. 10/10 would recommend him to anyone!! Awsome prof!!

He is nice. Very willing to discuss assignment ideas with you if you go to his office hours. The readings are lengthy and the exam is based almost entirely on them. However, his guidelines can be too vague/ abstract sometimes so your best shot is to go to your TA. Exam's fair. Thought I hated this class but now I will actually recommend it!

Eduardo is one of the best profs I have had at McGill. He is down to earth, captivating, and passionate. But be warned, there is a ridiculous amount of readings for this class. Also, the final exam is the hardest thing ever and he knows it. I found it frustrating how it was 50 questions and worth 50% of our grade. Better method of evaluation needed

Amazing teacher to understand field anthropology - human experience. Here are my advices to get an easy A : attend all lectures + take detailed notes, do you readings. 2 weeks prior to the finals, read again (fast reading) all texts. 2 days prior, read lecture's notes. Thinking outside academic, this is a unique course experience according to me.

This class was amazing, easily my favorite professor ever at McGill. If you are here to learn and have your mind blown this class is for you, if you want a well-structured course with clear grading criteria that will lead to an easy A this is not the course for you. Attend lectures (you'll want to anyway), be open-minded, savour the many readings!

This mans is crazy but absolutely amazing, will talk to you about getting high in the Amazon and how anthropology is a flaky science. Basically teaches you no facts, it's all just rambling and he's incredibly entertaining. Not really a class, more like an hour and a half of 'joke around with Kohn'

Prof Kohn is a very respected and great anthropologist. He cares deeply about his work which is reflected by the lectures and the readings he gives. However, it is typically very unclear what exactly he wants his students to understand and learn, his lectures are all over the place though interesting. If you want an easy class, this is not one.

At first I didn't enjoy this class. Kohn's lectures are disorganised and taking notes isn't straightforward. At one point I gave up on notes and just listened. He really cares about what he teaches, his lectures are super interesting. He knows the course isn't v structured so assignments r easy. The exam is just the readings! do those and ur fine!

Amazing lectures. Even if not very well organized, everything he says is really interesting and will help you approach things from a different angle.

really funny guy but not a clear lecturer, which was a little frustrating to me as a first year student (no slides!!). the two assignments aren't bad, but make sure you study hard for the final as it is very detail oriented. we were even tested on content that he didn't get to due to his lack of organization.

I think in general, he is probably a good prof but over zoom it was hard to pay attention to his lectures. Homework is all reading and not a lot of them are very interesting. The assignments are really fun though, but you have to be creative. Kind of disorganized in the lectures, and rarely uses PowerPoints, just speaks his ideas.

Eduardo is awesome. He was recommended to me by my cousin who had taken many of his courses and I definitely don't regret it. He is caring, understanding and invested in his courses. He has wonderful, wild ideas and loves to share them. It's too bad I took the course online, as I'm sure he's super animated in person.

Though lectures were disorganized and did feel like they ran for an extremely long time, he is one of the most caring prof's I've had at school. He's very passionate about anthropology and his stories can be hilarious. The class is graded very fairly and stood out to have some of the most unique assignments.

Prof kohn is such an inspiration. While the class is quite disorganized (no lecture slides, just him talking) the lectures are super interesting once you learn how to follow what he is saying. The two assignments and final were marked pretty easy and didn't require a lot of work. Readings are long but helpful for lectures. I def recommend anth202!

Prof Kohn is clearly passionate about his work and that translates to his lectures. The biggest drawback however was how disorganized the class was. Barely any slides, random tangents, assigning a book we didn't touch, inconsistent grading and a chaotic (although easy) take-home final to finish it off. I didn't mind it but many struggled.

kohn is the best you can tell he loves what he does. He rambles a lot but its always something interesting or a weird story from his past. The assignments are easy, and rely mostly on your own creativity. a lot of readings but rly interesting cause they are often about niche topics or cultures you probably didn't know much about before.

His lectures are very confusing and it's hard to take notes for them. That said he is a great guy and the course overall is interesting and not super difficult.

Professor Kohn is amazing. He is extremely funny and engages with the class all the time. He gets sidetracked onto stories, but they are always so funny and engaging. There are long readings, but they are extremely interesting. Highly recommend taking this class, the assignments are fun and easy if you get into them. HE IS THE BEST!!!

Where to begin... Kohn is a super interesting person with an enticing personality. However, he is all over the place as a professor and the class clearly lacked structure. The topics and the way he presents it is super interesting, but it lacked a sense of cohesiveness. The grades on the papers were unfortunately very dependent on the TA you have.

Loved Prof Kohn, such an icon. I will admit it can sometimes be a bit hard to follow. However, it is worth it for his fascinating stories and research. If you do a majority of the readings you should be able to follow the course quite well (they are long but can be really cool). If you stay engaged and honestly just vibe with it you' ll do well.

Kohn will make your semester whimsical! He truly cares about his work, and it comes through in his lectures. Some reviews criticize his organization, but if you attend the lectures it's not hard to do well. He will ignite passion through his engaging lectures, and his care for his students comes through in his teaching. Would recommend!!

One of the most genuine and caring professors ever. Even though the lecture had 300+ people, he made an effort to take to students and remembered small details about them. Lectures were hard to follow and connections to assigned readings were sometimes unclear, but the assessments did not require much technical knowledge.

One of my favourite professors for sure, his classes were not really organized and there were no slides, but you could go to half the classes and do none of the readings and still get an A. even the book he wants you to buy isn't mandatory its a good book but has nothing to do with the class or the assignments/exam. Definitely the easiest A i got

Amazing professor with his own field work. He is kind and understanding.

Honestly one of my favourite profs so far. People say that his lectures are boring, unrelated to the course content, although if you pay attention he has a lot of interesting stories and experience to relay to his students. Its obvious he is an accomplished anthropologist, and for many who are studying anthropology, he is very accessible.

Very knowledgeable and caring professor. He does go off tangent, but his lectures are still really interesting. Easy and engaging class that I would recommend

Just take notes of what he says. He talks about every reading and what's important. Topic wise, follow the sequence like a narrative. I'll confess that I am already familiar with quite a large portion of the topics but they are so simple to understand using what you already know. All assignments were take-home and was so engaging and fun. Do it!

Super funny, laid-back, and knowledgeable, but his lectures are hard to follow. They are not recorded and slides are not posted, and he often goes off on random tangents. That being said, the grading is generous and the assignments were interesting. A lot of the topics are very niche, and are fascinating if you can figure out what he's saying.

Great professor and easy introductory class. Very knowledgeable and likes to go off on tangents during class, but these are often funny. Don't really need to do readings or even come to class. Final was take-home and online. Would highly recommend as a bird course.
