Good Prof. Hard marker. Lectures were very interesting

He is good. He knows what he's talking about; he loves most of what he has to teach. He wanted us desperately to understand it, and thats not always easy. Tough is good; did you think any of this was going to be a cakewalk?

He was such a great teacher. He was always really clear and was desprate for people to understand the concepts and made himself really accessible to his students. His assignments and tests were really easy and he always added humor in to his lectures.

Not too easy, not too hard! Marks assignments fairly and his tests aren't too hard. Very interesting lectures and great notes!

His in-class activites are super fun; he reminds me of "Yvonne of the Yukon"

I loved his class, it was what helped me decide to major in Anthro. He also has a great sense of humour, and lots of stories about his fieldwork. He can be a hard marker though.

he is really good in class and makes the class fun, but when you talk to him outside of class he is really unapproachable. his tests weren't that hard if you do the work.

Smart dude, he is actually pretty funny(sometimes). Its obvious he is a bit of a jackass but still is an excellent teacher. Fairly east tests

Great prof, test are simple if you come to class and take notes. He hands out questions to answer from the readings so u don't have to read the whole text. Very sarcastic humor, i love it! He really makes you think, and isn't afraid to share his opinion. One of my best classes this semester.

This guy knows his stuff and how to teach it. He however makes his testing a suprise as he does not have reviews or posting of old tests. :( I recommed if you want to learn anything about anthro this is the teacher!

Interesting class. He IS an entertainer, but also encourages class discussions that are both relevant and useful. A little hard to approach but overall friendly and a good teacher.

he's smart

Attendance is mandatory, you will most likely bomb the first midterm if you don't study the text book and his notes word for word. He does not believe in half marks, it is either you have the material down or you don't.

very passionate about the subject!

Funny. Smart. Great Notes. But attentiveness, attendance, and reading is required. He writes really hard tests and the reading is the only way to pass. You must be diligent!

He is an alright Prof. Lectures and notes are clear, but the topics jump around alot. Overall good class, and interesting material. Easy marker, within reason. And he is always there for help if you need it.

Powerpoints very clear and helpful, not boring, he makes jokes. Very good teacher, just show up and do what you're supposed to and answer questions.

I LOVE Larose. He is hilarious and his lectures are so interesting. You have to attend lectures and I'd recommend writing notes beyond the power point. If you do your readings and follow along in class, you will do well.

Very good teacher, funny and interesting lectures. He's not the warm fuzzy helpful type, so you'll have to work out the answers for study questions by yourself. You also must attend class, and remember the textbook readings almost word for word. Good marks are possible with dedication. Overall a good teacher.

Larose can be intimidating and even rude I found. But he's also quite funny and interesting. Make sure to take notes in class and study the textbook. Tests can be tough. Also, don't be late!

Very critical comments on assignments but they let you know exactly what you are doing wrong and will make you want to work harder on other ones.

Great teacher, gives good in-class notes but if you don't show up and only do the readings chances are you will NOT pass his class. Very funny and has great stories and life experience in the field to share. Sadly he isn't very approachable.

- : Not approachable, lectures are dull (powerpoint & discussion), doesn't post notes + : Lessons are straight forward, funny, has lots of cool stories, gives great examples, get out of lectures early, the multiple choice section on exams are super easy, and the BEST PART: Come exams he'll post what you need to study for and what to ignore

I really enjoyed Dr. Larose's class; however, it is A LOT of reading in addition to the notes from class. They don't correspond to one another all the time, so doing both is mandatory. He also doesn't post his lecture notes online, which is somewhat annoying. His lectures are very interesting though and he has some really funny stories.

Honestly Larose was probably the most straight forward teacher there is at Macewan. Always tells you what's gonna be on the exam, and clearly explains material. Honestly I'm not that interested in Anthropology but his class was one I looked forward too. Also his exams aren't really that bad IF YOU ACTUALLY STUDY! OH and you NEED the textbook!

The class was really straight forward. You show up, take notes and you read the textbook and you're fine. If you skip class, get then you won't do well. He doesn't post notes so if you miss a class, you'll have to get them off someone else.

His lecture slides aren't overly detailed but he explains everything thoroughly in class. Is a firm believer in stupid questions and if you ask one he will give you a snarky response. For my class we had online quizzes every few weeks that were strictly textbook based so the textbook is a must. Pretty helpful outside of class and pretty funny dude.

Funny dude lol. Very clear-cut with what he expects out of his students. Attendance is mandatory because he doesn't post notes on blackboard. If you skip class, you'll fall behind on the notes and will most likely bomb the midterms. His exams are extremely fair. Doesn't surprise you with anything on his tests. Does timed online quizzes as well.

Awesome Prof. Funny, easy to listen to, clear explanations. You can tell he knows what he's talking about. If you go to class, read what he tells you to, and want to be there you'll do great in the class. He DOES NOT put his lecture notes online so be prepared to attend every class. Exams are more than fair if you keep up with notes and readings.

Really interesting class, as long as you're there and read the textbook it's easy. Doesn't hold your hand through learning, which is nice.

You must attend class: there is a ton of content and he does not post his lectures online. Start studying from day 1 and do all of your readings - his exams are brutal, you must do the assigned readings (as well as the review questions) and study all of your course notes. If you do the work you will do well - if not, expect to fail, seriously!

Super funny with an odd sense of humor. Very engaging. His assignment at the end was easy. Tests are tough but fair if you study properly.

Francois is by far the best prof I have had! He is hilarious which makes the lectures interesting. He does not post notes so you have to go to class but the classes are interesting and not long.

He doesn't post his power points online, so it is a must to be in class since a good portion of tests are from lectures and what he puts into his power points. The readings are dull, but he makes them more interesting when he explains the key concepts in class. Keep up with your readings and attend class and review and you should be totally fine.

I enjoyed the cl;ass quite a bit, and it was quite easy for the first half, however I missed ONE class and it did massive damage to my grade. Show up, or you are doomed.

Larose was wonderful. He was very clear and knew the material by heart. I thought he explained things so well and was helpful. I went to him regarding a mid-term mark, and he was nice and gave good feedback. If you want to do well in this class, instead of blaming him, YOU have to do the readings and study and try to understand the material.

Overall good prof. Attending class is essential as he does not post his powerpoints online. You also need to read the textbook. But he is funny, and passionate. He gives reasonable marks. I was engaged during his lectures and his tests were easy.

Francois is hilarious and such an old school teacher. Some of the content is super boring but his random jokes make up for it. Online quizzes are tougher than in-class exams, but just go to class and be prepared to take notes since nothing is posted online. If something is important or not he will usually tell you, honestly just pay attention.

Very funny, very kind! I found his lectures very amusing. He has notes which aren't posted so you must attend class. Also his exams are 50/50 for the lecture notes and the textbook content. The exams are tricky but overall fair. He understands his students and takes into consideration their lives outside of his class.

Francois was great! Very passionate about his subject, pretty funny, and very clear about what to study for. The discussions online were easy marks as well. I would recommend him, but you must go to class, as he doesn't post any notes on blackboard

I found Dr. Larose to be an excellent instructor. As long as you attend class, ask questions to clarify, read through your text book, and don't save studying to the last minute, you have nothing to worry about. He provides funny, well spoken and informative lectures. I would take his lectures again.

Larose offers clear guidelines for what's on his tests! He does not give you lecture notes, and you will have to do some readings from the textbooks, but he gives you a list of questions for the readings. This is all you need to know for the exams from the textbook! and he will take questions directly from this list! Easy grade if you read!

Larose provides a very in-depth study guide for his exams that are very helpful. He is passionate about the lecture material and approaches it in a very unbiased way. He doesn't give clear instructions on the group project, but overall is a very good professor.

Larose will make you do some work for your grade but not more than other classes. Tests are all multiple choice, the only other assignments are two short responses (a total of about 800 words) online, on a video. I spent about 90 minutes on each for full marks. He doesn't post notes but his lectures are funny and I didn't mind having to go.

Great prof, made me laugh all the time. Easy grader. Attend class as he doesn't post notes online and read the material assigned as he tests are based 50/50 on each. Material is interesting but he made it even better. Can maybe be a bit condescending to students, but they usually deserve it and again I found it hilarious.

I think Francois is a great prof! He is hilarious in class and really tries to get the main points across. You have to keep up with lectures in class as he does not post the notes but they are easy to follow along. He gives great examples and involves the class in meaningful discussions. His exams are fair if you study lectures and readings!

Good at conveying information during the lectures.

Dr. Larose's humour was possibly my favourite thing this semester. With that said, his class isn't all fun and games; it's heavy with information with more assignments than you'd expect from an introductory class including discussions and 2 midterms. He's enthusiastic and knowledgeable, but it takes a lot of work to succeed in his class.

Francois is a must take if you are taking an anthropology course. Show up and take notes because he does not post notes online. His lectures are insightful and he keeps them fun and interesting. He is very well liked by all his students. By following the grading criteria for assignments and attend lectures, you are able to do well.

I can understand why some people don't enjoy him but I found his lectures were interesting and he was very clear about his expectations for the exams. He would even repeat himself multiple times to convey if something is going to be on the exam. Don't skip his class or you will miss infomation, he tests 50% textbook and 50% lecture.

He was a really good teacher. Hilarious lectures that kept you interested and a lot of joking along the way. His written portions of the exams could be difficult, but the questions were always fair if you had studied for the exam

Some of the questions on the tests sound challenging, but are in-fact quite simple. I think his lectures are very relevant to the tested material, and attendance is required for that much desired "A". Don't over-think a complicated question, often times he'll be seeing if you can identify many aspects of a single topic, keep it simple and on topic

Youll never be asked to define terms, its about understanding how they relate and giving examples. Despite being online, you actually have to put in the work and study as exams/quizzes are very time restricted so cant wing them. He doesnt test outside of his study guide questions. Overall easy class chill prof just requires effort from the student

This professor is one of the better professors I've had. I enjoyed the content of the class and he was relatively engaged with us even though the class was online. I found the class to be quite test heavy, and the lecture material is mainly textbook. Testing is mainly content-understanding based. Overall, I would recommend him for this course.

I really enjoyed this class and it's content, the tests are mainly based on textbook reading so make sure to keep up with the textbook and you'll be solid. His lectures are simple and easy to stay engaged with as well with the quality of notes, I signed up for another class with him as I really enjoyed the amount of work balance.

I enjoyed taking his class. He was funny and the course was pretty easy to follow. The only negative would have to be the amount of reading we had to do for the class I took. He is very knowledgeable and you definitely need to go to class in order to pass.

There are a lot of readings, but he provides you with study questions. He uses those questions plus questions from the lectures. There are two midterms and one final. He offers questions to choose from, and you must be specific. You have three quizzes (5% each) plus two assignments (600 words, 10% each). Yes, he is blunt in his email responses.

Was all online but his recorded ppts were as if you were in class. A lot of reading in the textbook- he doesn't go over this in his ppts so this is on your own and difficult. A quick marker and has clear criteria. I thought it was a easy class and had easy assignments.

Attendance and required readings are mandatory. His exams are set up fairly so that it is either directly from textbook or his lectures and he is very engaging. The assignments are also very easy marks as well. This course was life changing to me.

He had great lectures and made the class very interesting. He brought in stories from his own experiences and many examples that made everything more clear and easy to remember. I really enjoyed the class. His tests were all short answer and you had to be very specific to get the marks. Other than that it was great and not too much work.

His lectures were engaging and entertaining if you have a genuine interest in Anthropology. There was quite a bit of reading, but completely reasonable so long as you have decent time management. He often shared from his personal experiences and was clearly passionate about his subject. He does not post his PowerPoints, attendance is crucial.

I really enjoyed Larose. Lectures are funny and not "mandatory", but if you miss any you will fall behind because he often teaches things not mentioned in the textbooks. Tough exam grader, but he wants your own words rather than a mimic of the textbook. If you make an effort and take interest you will do well. I recommend both Larose and ANTH 101.

I used to dislike him because of the exam format. but after putting in the work, i passed the class. his exams are just written response. but the questions are simple. but he isn't an easy marker. all you gotta do answer and elaborate on ur answer. give an example and stuff. You just gotta know ur stuff. he's a nice person. and a good teacher.

Easy pass if you read the textbook and attend lectures. Attendance isn't technically mandatory but he doesn't post lecture slides, so you should attend. The midterms and final are only written responses and you really gotta know your stuff. Lectures were boring due to the material but he does his best, most lectures were engaging because of him

I took this course online and it was great! He posts the lectures and content early. We had two quizzes and 2 written assignments. I would say he is a fair grader and responded quickly to emails. Quizzes were mostly based off lectures, although a few questions from textbooks. I think overall, he's very easy going and an easy pass.
