great teacher and funny. had him for general antropology and human species. no need to go to class until review days where youre basically told what exactly is on the test. go anyways if you wanna learn more and have a good time. we need more professors like him.
Awesome teacher gives you a lot of notes but ends up cutting most of it out before the test...i only went to class for the tests and got an A seriously the easiest teacher at UCF
Great professor. Take an ant class with him and you will keep a high GPA. He discusses all the notes and lets you know what exactly is coming on the test days before the test. Class is not mandatory but he knows his stuff and can answer any question. If you study the notes you can get an A in that class. No one should get less than an A.
I loved his class so much that I have decided to major in Anthropology.
Super Easy teacher!!!! DO NOT BUY THE BOOK!! I returned mine still in the shrink wrap and I got an A from never opening it. He even says test questions only come from notes, and the book is useless. Super easy tests and great reviews!! Very easy A!!
As long as enough people go to class, Prof. Long is happy. When he's happy he puts all the notes online. My advise is no matter how easy you think this class may be, dont miss the review sessions the class or two before the test. I liked him so much I'm taking him again next semester.
Long is amazing!!! DO NOT BUY THE BOOK!!! You do not need it at all he posts the notes online you dont have to go to class except for the reviews and the tests i would not suggest taking two of his classes in the same semester because you because you cram all the info he gives you the week before the tests
definitely dont waste your money on the book, the only thing you have to do is get online and study the review notes, everything else in between is kinda just boring. too easy
Great teacher. Tests directly out of the notes, so don't bother buying the book. He puts the notes online as long as people still come to class. Easy class.
great guy
easy credit! all you have to do is show up on the 1st day and on review & test days and you are set. all the notes are posted online and tests are straight from the notes so do not buy the book! i never opened it and of course the bookstore would not buy it back. no comprehensive final, just a normal test.the guy is funny & sweet. you'll like him.
Very kind, amusing man and interesting class. but there is no reason to go to class except on test days because he reads off the powerpoint and then posts it online. do not buy the book. it isn't ever used. tests straight from the lecture. very easy
Way too easy. Attendance is not mandatory because all of the notes and exam reviews are posted online. If you like anthropology or want to learn, don't take his class. It's a very easy A, though.
The reviews are right, he is easy, watch out though, if not enough people go to class he wont post notes on-line. My biggest suggestion is to make SURE you go to the class before the test, gives exam reviews that make his tests a joke
I take Long whenever I can get into his class. Hes pretty old school when it comes to class (which I love) meaning he lectures & we take a test. He gives reviews and puts notes online... his classes are pretty stress free.You dont have to go to class,but if you do you will only have to review instead of study. He a cool guy.Take his classes
Long is pretty easy you dont have to go to class but if you do it makes it easier for you when you take the test. He puts notes online and crosses out what is not going to be on the tests. FInal exam is also mandatory so if you have a good grade at the end of the semester you dont have to take it.
pretty easy class,no attendance required,notes online,tests are kinda weird but if ur good at memorizing notes..take the class. there are 5 tests including the final exam. u only have to take 4 of them.final is not mandatory if u took all of the other tests.no textbook required.he curves sometimes.goin to class is a waste of time. i recommend class
EASY!! Take his class. No attendance required. He puts the notes online. All you have to do is take the notes to him during office hours before the exam - got an A - never went to class. When I went to his office, I got a 96 on the exams. TAKE HIM for an easy A!
If you need a science take this class!! He is so easy and gives you all the answers to the test in his study guide. He makes jokes in class and is a nice guy. TAKE HIM!
I am in love with him!!! He is so nice and funny!! He is also very helpful if you take advantage of his office hours! That's how I got an A in the class!! sweet sweet guy and good class! I would definitely recommend him!!
He puts all the notes online. you dont even need to go to class. he puts the reviews for the test online and as long as you memorize all 30+ pages you will get an A.
Great professor. Very helpful. I learned a lot. You don't need to come to class, but it does help. Study the reviews, go to class every now and then. If you can't get at least a B in this class, drop out of college.
Good Professor! He basically skims through the slides in class and its up to you to study his review. The review helps alot! Notes & review is online (provided that enough ppl show up to his class). Exams require good memorization but...U CAN DO IT! Oh, and if you really want to learn about the subject take Sinelli instead.
YOU DO NOT NEED TO BUY THE BOOK. I never used it once. Notes are online, you don't need to come to class per say but I found that people who didn't got lazy and found themselves in trouble later on. Memorize the notes and absorb the material during lecture. Easy "A" but if you really want to learn anthropology look elsewhere. He curves, also.
His class has to be the easiest 2000 level course at UCF. But other than that, when taking this course over the summer, the lectures would only last less than an hour a day, which is rare for a course that's alloted 2 hours per day four times a week. Also, he would post notes on-line that would be almost exactly what you would see on the exams!
really good professor
This is an easy A..people say you don't need the book and I didn't believe them and read the first few chapters but you really don't need to, all you need are the reviews, anything not on there WILL NOT be on the test. Some people need to go to lectures so you posts the notes online but it won't kill you if you miss a class or two. Would recommend!
Long is a very easy class. Don't even need the textbook at all despite what anyone says. His lectures can be boring at times but he also shows videos on some class days. All you need to do is skim over the big amounts of notes he posts up and you should get an A in the class. This class would be best to take during a 6 week summer session.
I'm convinced that he used to be a really incredible professor in the past but that he's currently the result of years and years of teaching freshman who couldn't possibly care less about about human species (which is why his class is so painfully easy). Regardless though, he's a very nice man and the class is an easy A. Recommended.
Not so easy.
I thought Prof. Long was an excellent teacher. Took him spring semester for Human Species. He teaches you everything you need to know. Does a great job of introducing new subjects while still reviewing past information. He is funny, helpful & kind. I learned a ton-but I also went to every class. Tests are hard, so listen, review, and read notes!
all you need to do is study the notes
pretty easy class. just take notes and study them. as long as you do that you should get an A
Going to give him a hot tamale just cause!! He metioned he didn't get one in class. He's funny to listen too and he's incredibly nice. Though if all youare going to do is talke during the class then don't bother coming, it's annoying!!
Material isn't difficult, but it's not easy. You don't learn anything in class.. he is old and hard to understand. But if you follow the notes and the charts and go along with the text book, you will get an A. Tests are fairly easy and it's all from the notes. He's funny. Take him.
I never went to class,its pointless. he puts the notes online alot. Its a good class to take, dont worry about it being hard because its not. some of the tests are hard but if you study you'll be fine.
Dont buy the book, and you dont need to go to class. He puts all the notes online, along with the entire review for each test. If you go to his office hours, he will cross out anything you dont need - and the rest is your test. I got an A on every test and literally memorized the charts the night before. He even drops the lowest test... TAKE HIM!!!
TAKE HIM! This is the only class I did not ever attend, and it is the only one that I have an A in. He puts all the notes online, and a full review for each test. If you memorize it, it is a guaranteed A. He also adds points to the tests sometimes. It is a class of 300 and maybe 25 attend everyday. If you want an easy and stressful class take him!!
I really enjoyed this professor, however, I would have liked a more structured lecture. Mr. Long needs to be tougher on the clowns in class, as all the chatter was a bit distracting. The kind of guy I'de love to go on an archeological dig with!
This teacher does not teach in class. Plain and simple. I don't know why he expects you to pay him to not teach but whatever he sucks. He also can't carry on a conversation for more than a few seconds without getting distracted.
Don't buy the book. Don't go to class unless you just want to watch powerpoints. I went to class, studied the day before each test, and I have an "A" before the final (which means I don't have to take it because he only takes the top 4 of your test grades). He's easy, the tests are easy, get this GE class out of the way with George all the way.
Great Professor. Plenty of chances to get your grades up, w/ opt. final and lowest test retake, plus he adds points and curves a few points. No attend. necessary, unless you want.just know the reviews forwards and backwards. For the retake, go see which questions you missed and sub your grade for a 100 after you retake and get them correct.!!
He was so so. Read the test reviews multiple times before the exams and you will be okay. No book. No attendance. He gives extra points on exams here and there but nothing substantial. Just dont do what i did and assume an A is going to be given to you or you'll have to work a lot harder than necessary/wanted at the end
He was very nice and definitely the teacher to take for Human Species. You don't have to attend class, you don't need the book, and he puts all the study guides and notes online. I went to his office a few times and he was very nice and helpful. I got an A and all I did was study the notes the day before. Overall, good teacher.
Very simple professor. You have two choices with this class. Come to class and listen to him lecture, or skip class and read the book. It's possible to never even do that and just study the notes he puts online. He puts up slides (essentially any and all info you need for the test) which is practically the test. Take him if you can, VERY EASY!
As easy as can get. Don't even bother going to class everyday. Go once a week if you want to see what's up. Don't need the book at all. His test come right from the notes he puts on WebCT. There are 4 easy test and if you do well on them don't even bother taking the final. Recommend for an easy A+
Had him for human species. TAKE HIM!!! he is such an easy A. He offers a retake, and drops the lowest grade out of 5 tests. never used the textbook. so dont waste your money. i never was in class except for the class before an exam. you wont regret him. SO FUNNY!
Easiest class I've taken at UCF. Attendance is not mandatory and notes are put online before exams. Is also very understanding and helpful. There is also 2 opportunities to makeup an exam you missed or did poorly on. You would really have to mess up to not get an "A" in this class. Strongly recommended if you need the credit.
I NEVER WENT TO HIS LECTURES!...Everything u need to kno for the test r posted on line word 4 word... DONT BUY THE TEXT BOOK... I went to class only on testing days....ended up with an A!!!!
I took him for ANT2000 and ANT2511. He IS the best! he's so cute and funny, he basically hands out A's its so easy. You just have to look over the notes online b4 the tests and receive ur A.
4 Tests and a final, but only takes 4 highest grades. So basically you don't have to take the final. :D He decided to also do retakes on tests 1-3 if you did bad. Very easy A. Do what everyone says and take him!
This class was terrible! I was actually interested in learning about Anthropology, but the class ended up being a joke. Prof. Long knows what he is talking about, but his teaching method is not good. You do not have to go to class, he posts all lectures and test reviews online. Don't buy the book!
First off, this guy is SEXY. Also, he is probably the messiah of anthropology! He has so much information and he loves to share it! I believe this man will help the world to become more intrested in the wonderful world of anthropology. PEACE
great teacher!!! take this class...funny guy and provides notes online...just study the notes and you will get an A 4 tests and final is optional...you do not need the book
don't get the book. Puts notes online, read them before the tests and you'll ace them. I've only been to class twice (for the tests) and I have an A. He's a really nice guy but can't control the class. seriously don't buy the book though. extremely easy A. honestly.
He was my anthropology teacher. He was really nice and funny, however, going to class is pointless. I only went on test days, rarely studied, and still ended up with a B+. The tests are based solely on the notes, which he posts online, and the tests are the only grade.
Really easy class. You don't have to attend except for test days. He posts the reviews online and as long as you study those you'll do fine on the tests. He's really corky and reminds you of a crazy grandpa, super funny! I didn't get much of the the class but an easy a. Take this class if you want to boost your gpa with little effort.
There's nothing that I can say that has been mentioned already. If you need an elective, science class for gen ed, or a hot teacher, this is the guy. Easy A. Posts the reviews a week in advance, which makes one class less to worry about. TAKE HIM! They don't call him George Extra Long for nothing lol.
Take this class if you need a GPA booster or to get to know a nice guy for future recommendation purposes. He posts the reviews online in advance. Tests are very easy, based on the reviews.
a really easy A. just go to class the day or 2 before the test and read the notes
Easy A. Never went to a single lecture, studied the exam review he posts online, took the 4 tests, got an A. If u do mess up a test, u can take the final which replaces lowest grade.
Previous reviews arent lying. GPA booster, easy A, etc. Reviews posted online before each test that are helpful. Rarely went to class, but it is kind of interesting if you do go. Optional final (didn't take it). 4 tests.
Easy A. Only went to the review before the test. Test reviews are posted online and are great. Class consists of 4 tests and an optional final.
Mr. Long was the easiest teacher. He posted all of his lecture notes online. Right before each test, he crossed out the stuff you did not need to know for the test. He gives four tests, and the final exam is optional. Take him!
Very easy teacher. wants to see you make an A and makes it easy to make an A. all you have to do is study his reviews he posts. at the end of the semester he gave 3 quizzes for 1 point added to your final average and curves the grades: 89=A 88=A-. so all you need to make is an 86 and take the 3 quizzes for an A.
Very easy/low stress class. There are 4 tests and a final. He takes your 4 highest test grades/drops the lowest to calculate your grade. He posts lecture notes online and gives you hints during class what is important to know for the exams. I recommend taking him for any class you can!
Awesome teacher. No need to go to class, but I suggest it. Book helps, but not mandatory. Optional final. Very easy class, and he wanted you to get an A!
Great teacher, easy to pass.
mr. long is an ok teach.Everything is basically done 4 u.He gives you the notes on line and the ?s that are going to be on the test.As long as you look over the notes youll pass.Plus attendence isent mandatory just show up 4 the test and there always muliple choice=)
easy class. look at the notes and old tests he gives you and you will do fine. only 4 tests and an optional final.
He's funny and will answer any questions when asked. He puts all notes online and old tests as well, even uses some of questions on exams. Boring class but pretty easy if you study. Movies are boring and textbook isn't totally necessary.
DONT BUY THE BOOK you'll never use it. All the old tests are online as well as the notes you will need. All the tests are MC and he shows alot of videos. The tests are almost all vocab so if your good at that then don't even come to class except for the day before the test where he basicly gives you all the answers. EASY CLASS
I only went to class the 1st 2 days and never again except on exam days. Final exam is optional, anything above and 87 is considered an A. Easy class, recommended for your gen ed!
Easy A, IF you study. No need to buy the textbook because he gives all the notes. I am came to class only on test days and review days and still got an A. Nice professor and easy to get along with. But you MUST study, if you want the A.
There is no reason to read any of the comments here, they are all the same. No need for the book, study your notes that are online, go to class only to play on your laptop or watch semi-amusing documentaries. The guy is actually very funny and helpful if need be. Take him for an easy Gen Ed. A.
He's the man.
TAKE, TAKE, TAKE. I currently take him. Easy A for gen ed course. Posts all notes online. Don't buy textbook. Dont have to show up for class, but recommend going to the review day and test day (obviously). I've studied about one hour for each test and got a 93 and a 100. Has multiple choice tests and will curve sometimes. He has witty old man humor
This class was awesome. You pretty much don't really have to go. He puts everything online, even old tests to study from. If you do go, he's really nice and funny :) Don't bother with the textbook. Easy A!
His tests are easy if you study for them, but if you are someone who needs to find a class interesting in order to do well, find a different professor. He reads his notes verbatim, there's no point in going to class. He puts his notes on line but they are kind of scattered. If you like to be engaged forget it.
I love Prof Long. If you look over the notes and take the "old test" he posts on his web courses then you will do great on every test. He posts notes online, all you have to do is read them! The tests are not hard at all. He is an extremely nice guy. Def. one of my favorite teachers ever at UCF :)
super easy class and you dont even need to go cuz he just reads exactly from the notes he posts online. tests are 25 multiple choice questions and they are easy. just look over the old tests he posts and you will get an A. i definitly recommend this class!
DO NOT BUY THE BOOK! Easy class & attendance is not mandatory nor is it necessary. I never attended class, but i do suggest going to the review days because he tells you everything that is on the test. All notes are online, and tests are only 25 questions. BUT YOU MUST STUDY THE NOTES TO DO WELL! Its not hard, but you have to study.
best teacher u will ver have
prof. long is the cutest old man and his class was so easy. i went to lectures once and then only on test days. he puts all the notes online. you have to study in order to get an A but its not bad at all. a lot of kids cheated on the exams but he never really did anything. he also drops the lost test grade. i HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Easy class if you actually study. Puts notes online. Attendance is not mandatory but will help you. Study the notes, and you'll get an A no problem. Recommended.
easiest class you will ever take. I never went to class except for test days and all I did was read the chapter notes and do the practice exam and got an A on every test. He drops the lowest grade which means the final can be optional! No homework and no need for the book! Also, he seems like a very nice guy! Definitely take!!
Professor Long is a good guy. He is hilarious. He tells you what to study for the test. If you study it, you will get an A, no problem. He drops the lowest test grade, so you do not have to take the final. TAKE HIM, HE'S THE MAN!!
I felt like most students took advantage of him being so nice. Nobody ever showed up for class unless it was a test day. He seems to really enjoy his subject, and he's a pretty funny guy. The tests are really simple if you study the "old tests" he posts online and the notes. You don't need the text book and the final is optional. I got an A+
Just like what everyone else says. You don't need the book, or need to go to class. He posts notes online and tells you what to study for the test. Easy A if you study.
Easy class. No need for the book or for going to the lectures. All notes are online and if you study from just that, it's easy to get an A on every test. No other work. Easy!
Easy but you do have to study if you want an A. I never went to class and only studied for the last test really hard and got a B. If you go all the time, you'll get an A. Always releases class early! Take him!
There is an actor that this man looks exactly like; who is it? Great professor. Very easy and really funny. He flips through slides very quickly, but you can find all notes on line.
THE EASIEST CLASS I'VE EVER TAKEN! NEVER went to class, just studied the online notes, took the tests, and ended up with a 98%! you don't have to take the final if you like your existing grade! Definately take this class if you want an easy A for a gen ed!
Don't bother going to class. Read the book, read the posted slides. Easiest A ever. He's a horrible lecturer, mutters half the class so you can't understand him and runs off on personal life stories the other half so you have no idea what he's talking about.
Don't bother going to class. He posts the notes for each test and the old tests on line with the answers so just study for that. I highly recommend him if you want an easy semester.
He is such a nice guy, and so funny. You don't need to go to class, but when I do its always funny and interesting. His tests are easy and I actually learn from them. Overall recommended and he is ADORABLE!
As others say, you can skip this class and do great on tests. If you are a slacker, by all means take Long. If you are an Anthropology major or minor, and care about learning, look elsewhere. Going to lectures does not help (I went to them all anyway). He rambles a lot. A VERY nice old man, but maybe the least knowledgable anthro prof on campus.
The only reason why I got a B was because one of my tests scores got messed up and wasnt graded correctly, but I couldnt prove it. Easiest class I have ever taken. Skipped almost every single class. Tests are 25 Qs long and he gives you a review and old test questions. He will curve every test and will help you out if your grade is bad.
Going to class is pointless you will not learn anything. I never went to class and came out with an A. There are 4 tests and he gives you a previous test to study from. Just study that and you will do fine. Easy A. I only went to class the class before the test because he would review. The final is optional.
You do learn in his class, you just have to go to class. Attendance isn't mandatory but his lectures are helpful. I mean you're paying for the class and he is getting paid regardless so it's your decision if you go or not. I loved his class. He is very sweet and funny (: I love Prof. Long!
Best professor ever!!!
such a sweetheart! he really cares about his students and he will give extra credit. he is awesome. attendance not mandatory and not entirely necessary and no book use at all. take classes with him!!!!!
Everything you read about G. Long is true...Easy A, never went to class, optional final, he gives you previous tests to study from.
George Long is the best professor in the history of man, period. If you can, take all of your general education electives with him. What you take away from the class is more knowledge than you will need in life about anthropology, and an A.
DO NOT BUY THE BOOK! 4 tests plus and optional final. Always curves tests 1 or 2pts. The class is useless and attendance is not mandatory. Make sure you read the notes and go to class before the test so you can review the practice exam. Easy A if you study 2-3days in advance.
He really cares about your success! I only went to class for the tests and got an A by studying the notes and old tests for a couple hours. 4 tests (super easy IF YOU STUDY) and optional final. Don't bother buying the book. Take him, he's nice, helpful, and knows ALOT about the subject!
I love this professor. He's very nice, and all notes are power point.
George Long is SO GREAT! He is so funny. Very easy A, but do not walk into it thinking you don't have to study. I didn't study or go to class at all, but still got a C. He won't give extra credit, but he drops the lowest test grade. Tests are STRAIGHT from the notes, and there are only 4 tests and that's all the course work. TAKE IT
Attendance is not necessary. Just study the reviews for the tests or you't get a good grade. Lectures are simply a reading of powerpoint slides so it does get boring.
This guy have a very good sense of humor. Without a doubt, please take him if you're looking to boost your GPA up. All you have to do is study the review sheet and you're straight. Please save your money by NOT buying the text book unless you're really interesting in this type of stuff. Overall please take him. You'll enjoy getting an "A" in class.
i took this class because of this website and it WAS NOT EASY. there was no review sheet and no review. i studied really hard and still got B's. NOT AS EASY AS IT SEEMS. class wasnt mandatory, book is a waste of your money. if you dont want to go to class but study really hard, take it.
Lectures are powerpoint presentations strictly from the book so if you read the book on your own you can skip a few lectures, except for the pre-test reviews when he hands out the test study notes.Easy class, but if you are serious about ANT take another teacher.
i took this class last year and it was an EASY A i really didnt have to do anything but my friends taking it now and i guess now its HARD! he doesnt give out the review or old tests to practice with anymore...
the man
This class was a big disappointment. I thought it would be interesting and easy, but I guess he has changed the way he does things. His teaching style is awful, disorganized, and boring! His test are easy, but because of his teaching, I still can only get a B.
At first, you'll want to come to Prof. Long's class for his goofy improv jokes and light-hearted approach to his subject. You'll begin to avoid his class [less than one-third still come] as chapters blend together and all seem stuffed with the same info and his "light-heartedness" makes you wonder "this is really a class?"
Not a hard class at all, you really don't even have to show up to class. Don't waste money renting or buying the textbook, you won't even open it. He gives you a review for every test, and drops the lowest grade but WARNING his notes are extremely disorganized!
Really hard to understand most of the time, it's really hard to stay awake in class because he is so monotone.Please don't take this class if you actually want to learn something.
I took Prof. Long for ANT 2000 and ANT 2511 and got an EASY A in both. I didn't go to class once, just studied the review guide the day before the test. He drops your lowest test score, even if you don't take the optional final. If you don't get an A in this class, you are dumb.
very easy class, all you have to do is read over the review before the test. very lighthearted teacher, i'd go to class just for the goofy jokes. you can tell he enjoys teaching the subject
Got an A but this teacher was no good. Didnt go to class cuz all he does is ramble. Notes are poorly constructed. Doesnt rly care about grades (he only counts 3 of 5 tests, the only grade), just wants to show his knowledge. The tests have terrible grammar. The classes have short note overviews followed by unessential 70's videos. Take a real class.
Literally the worst class I have ever taken. I went into this class expecting an easy A but ended up having to work for a B. The teacher wasn't very helpful and the material was so boring. Would not recommend to anyone. But on a plus side, you don't need to go to class.
Professor Longs class was supposed to be easy but when I took it I struggled. I typically do well, but his notes were very confusing. He was hard to hear and didn't make sense. He isn't as good as people make him out to be.
Pass 4 tests; drop lowest test. If you failed or missed one of the first four tests, you have to take the Final as replacement. Notes are online. I didn't go to class. I studied a couple-few hours in the morning before each test. Got an A. I don't like this class. Class is based on memorization skills.
I went to George's class thinking it was going to be a breeze but it wasn't. His notes are very confusing and its even worse trying to listen to him in class. I never went and barely studied and still got a B but this was very disappointing. Don't buy the book. I wouldn't take him.
If you enjoy cramming for a 3 chapter test a couple of nights before it, take this class. I attended class because I'm a hard working student but the information he taught was useless so I mostly read the newspaper in class.
In a 400+ class about 30 people attended. He posts all of his powerpoint notes online so there is absolutely no point of going to class unless you enjoy a professor scrolling through a 100 page slideshow in 10 minutes. Sometimes he can be kinda funny though. I'm the kind of student that doesn't like to cram for test so I wouldn't recommend him.
best teacher I have ever had
I don't know why you wouldn't want to take a teacher who gives you all the notes to every test. I passed every test by just reading the notes in the hour I had in between classes. I didn't think he was that boring, either. Most of the people who take this class don't really seem to show much of an interest in it from the beginning, anyway.
This should be an easy class but he is almost impossible to understand. I go to class most ote time but feel like it was a waste everytime. His study guides are ridiculous so they are no help on tests.
great class, it's an easy grade but the class is actually interesting. easy-going guy, very well liked.
This was by far the stupidest class I have taken at UCF. You can either read the textbook or study his notes and get an A on the test. I never showed up to class because it was pointless. He rambles and is boring to watch.
hahahahah this guy is awesome. I went to class I think twice all semester long and got a B+. Take him, you will like him a lot. I promise.
Easiest class. you dont have to show up because he puts powerpoints online study them and youll be fine. He also curves grades and drops the lowest test score.
took him for human species. very easy. says some pretty funny things in class.
took him for florida archaeology. he's a nice guy, I really like him, he's actually very helpful. but he's a bit disorganized. didnt require a textbook but posted notes online and sometimes would only like 2 days before exam...I got an A but I lived the entire semester stressed, didn't learn much either...take it if you want an easy class
Easiest A EVERRRRR! It is not necessary to buy the book and you honestly only need to go to class on the review days the class before the exam. Long is pretty disorganized but all you have to do is memorize his study guides before the exam and you can do fine!
This class is a joke i had him for summer term anthropology you dont do anything in class the teacher shoows up late to class but hes very helpful with study guides and everything you dont need the book at all esay A.
I'm not sure why everyone says he is so easy because he is definitely not his tests are very difficult to get an A on the test is on 150 power-point slides and he asks details. He does drop the lowest but I have a 3.5 GPA as a science major and can only seem to get B's on his tests. He is harder than people make him out to be.
Great Professor, I really appreciate his humor although some students dont seem to pay attention enough to even get the jokes, awesome guy, very smart and makes the class simple, great break in the stress from most of your other classes but still challenging and rewarding learning experience
Tenure, tenure, tenure. This class is easy if you can memorize a 100+ slide powerpoint. There are only 4 grades, all tests, which can be difficult because of the sheer amount of information. I received a 0 on a test for some unknown reason, maybe he lost it, maybe I forgot to bubble in my PID (I'm almost 100% sure I did).
Pretty easy class. He puts all the notes online. He's dorky but in a funny way. DO NOT BUY THE TEXTBOOK.
Really nice guy, but you'll give little to nothing from the class. Lectures are impossible to understand and you never use the book. Great guy, but class is pure memorization.
Easiest gen ed everrr. He's funny. (though the class is still very boring) Attendance is def. not mandatory. Don't bother buying the books. He posts notes online. I studied for an hour the night before each test and got an A+ in the class. Very easy A. Have the option of taking the final. Easy class
He's an awesome professor. You need to study the notes he puts online though, or else you won't do good on the tests. He dropped the lowest test grade and curves an insane amount. Class isn't mandatory, but it's an interesting guy.
Only went to class on review days and test days and got an A. Don't buy the book his tests are based only on his notes which he puts online. STUDY HIS NOTES or you wont do good on the test. Study the night before and its an easy A!
Really nice guy. Dont buy the book you'll never use it. He puts the study guide online so just study that and you should do fine in the class.
This class is ridiculously easy, the tests are group class projects, if you get stuck on a question, simply just yell out "Whats number 5-27?" and rest assured at least 3 people from each row in front of you will provide good answers.Careful if he catches you cheating, you have 8 warnings before he moves your seat. Bring a pillow if you go to class
Really nice guy who wants to see everyone succeed. Curves all the tests and holds the right to curve final grades. I am not personally interested in the subject so I haven't done great on the tests, but if you're gonna take the class you should definitely take it with him.
super easy
Ridiculously easy
Prof. Long basically just reads the powerpoint slides. This class is really easy and really boring.
Relatively easy class. I probably went 3 times not including test days and received a B. He gives a ridiculously luxurious curve, also.
Dr. Long is great! He tries to make his lecture more interesting and makes silly jokes to keep us awake. Super nice guy. Curves the grades so it will be very difficult to fail! Take this class. :)
TOO EASY FOR WORDS
As everyone says, super easy. Came to class everyday but did other homework on my computer. Just read his reviews and you're good.
Easy A, no need to buy the book, he post a very detailed review before the test, just memorize that and go the the review session before the test and you're sure to get an A. Overall this is a great class to take to balance out your schedule.
Probably one of the easiest classes I've even taken at a college. Gives you a review before each exam which basically is the exam itself. No need to go to class as the powerpoints eventually become condensed review sheets. Very easy to earn an A since he curves every exam and boost the minimum grade to earn an A at the end of the term. EASY A!!!
Most people don't attend and seem to do just well, however, I always attended his class and got an A. He's all over the place as far as notes but does give out a complete study guide before the exam, which will guarantee an A if you study it. Didn't get as much out of the class but I did see him on office hours, he's very knowledgeable.
okay, ill give you the simple guildine to this class. 1. don't go 2. check the study guide online two days before the test. 3. learn the study guide. 4. GUARANTEED A in the class. done
Great Professor and very interesting class. Only prob for me was that it was bit disorganized and the class slides were very repetitive. With that been said, he makes the material very interesting and if you study his notes there is no reason not to get an A in the class. Material for test was very straight forward. No surprises. He is funny too!!
sweetest guy ever. he was one of the nicest professors ive ever had. his class is a bit disorganized and i cant say i learned anything, but he wants to see everyone do well and most everyone does. if you study you will get an A, if you dont, you will get a C. He doesnt fail anyone really, you can always talk to him about helping you. very nice guy
So funny! He is a great professor, and tries to make the class fun. The class is a little boring but it'll be easy to get an A if you study. You don't need the book at all. Overall he's the sweetest man ever and a lenient grader.
Professor Long is one of the funniest and nicest people at the school. He class is so easy, he posts the notes so you can get them and he gives a review for all the test, you'd have to try and fail his class. A great class if you want to get you GEP out of the way. Textbook is nice but not necessary.
Going to class is difficult because it is too fast-paced to take notes, it's very hard to hear him and it's not very interesting. I'm an english major with no interest in science. Study guides are helpful when they are given. Otherwise use the book because it is extremely hard to hear in class.
Easy class you don't have to go just study the study guide before each test and you'll be fine. Hard to hear unless your right in front, better off using online notes. Easy A
Took him Summer B. His study guides are helpful. Read the book and go to class. Easy A.
Such an easy class. Attendance not mandatory in any way. Go to class the day before the test and he'll tell you exactly what to know. Very easy, nice guy with a sense of humor.
Four tests which he puts every review online. Do not go to class because he doesnt know how to use his microphone so its pointless. I didnt get the book and his reviews were very confusing. I had the book for the last test and it made studying alot easier. Take this class get the book and get an easy A
Mr. Long is a really nice guy and always willing to help you if you come to him politely. Study the study guides and its a guaranteed B. Good class if you're really good with memorization.
This professor did pretty much nothing. The tests got more and more difficult as the term went on and I can honestly say I didn't learn a thing. This class is boring as well, attendance is not mandatory. Basically he just reads off of the notes that he posts online.
Easiest class i have ever taken and i highly recommend him. Four test, optional final, class isn't mandatory, and the book is not needed. I would suggest taking him for an easy A or B, all that is needed is memorization of the reviews he hands out and you will be good !
He gives you exact study guides of his exam online, and then narrows it down in class. Never went to class, and got an A.
This was without a doubt the easiest class I have ever taken. Class was not mandatory and the grade consists of just 4 tests. I showed up just 5 times all semester, 1st day of class and the 4 tests and I got an A. He will post a study guide about a week before the exams so as long as you read those you can get an A on the test.
The least amount of effort I have ever put in to a class, yet I still got a B. Only day you need to show up is the class before a test. The review he posts online is literally the test. If you actually study and show up to class you can easily pull an A. If you're looking for an easy class to fill the science requirement this is it!
Professor Long is a sweet guy and will help anyone to do well in his class. His class is extremely easy if you study his study guides.He is a bit scattered with his lectures but he is quite knowledgeable about anthropology! He gives a lot of curves, its almost impossible to fail unless you dont read or study his study guides.
Honestly, the class was so easy. He curves most tests a couple points and provides detailed study guides. Don't even waste your time buying a book. If you have knowledge of what this class is all about prior to taking it, you will easily get an A using his study guides alone.
This class was totally Emma Stone: An Easy A, but Superbad.
Great professor. Easy class. 4 exams, no homework or assignments. Textbook and other materials are unnecessary if you go to class. Give you the notes, you just highlight. Take pictures of the pictures he shows in class! They are on the tests!
I don't understand why everyone is saying he's easy, unless he just changed the way he does the class this semester (Spring). There are 4 tests, he wouldn't post any powerpoints but instead 4 "study guides" that were 30-40 pages long... Impossible to study from. Took two tests, did terrible, ended up dropping the class. Take someone else.
It seems over the years he has become more strict had him last semester for another class he was easier. Study guides are now too long and tests are not as easy.If you go to class you should get an A. Most people only show up for the tests and you can still manage to get an A or B. Don't buy the book
I'm sure he is a wonderful teacher and he seems really interested in what he's teaching but you cannot hear anything he says, AT ALL. No matter where you sit in the room.
Atteding class is pointless. He can't really work the microphone so no matter where you sit, you cant hear him. PLus he goes through slides too fast to copy anything down. he's nice though, and his reviews are pretty straightforward for tests. if you study hard for each test, you'll be fine. but you MUST STUDY in order to do well.
Professor Long is a nice guy but I quit going to class because I couldn't hear anything. The class is not too hard but you will have to study for each test. It seems the ones complaining thought an A would be handed to them without doing any work.
He is nice and somewhat helpful in office hours. Class is not helpful or mandatory, I went everytime but usually didn't learn much. Study guides are very helpful. Often felt like I was teaching myself. Dont buy the book, his powerpoints are quotes that he thinks are imp from the book. No homework, just 4 tests. Curves grades.
The class is fairly easy but it does require some amount of effort. Exams that I did not study for, I got a lower grade but tests that I put some time into, I did well! He makes the class very boring, therefore, I never went to class. I recommend the book based on that since he takes the content straight from the book and he posts the lectures.
Hilarious teacher, definitely take he's easy. You do have to study some but his tests are multiple choice and he gives extra points throughout the semester for going with pop quizzes that aren't graded. highly recommended!
Awesome teacher. Great class to take in the summer. Never need the book. His tests are easy and he gives extra credit for pop quizzes that aren't even graded. He gets straight to the point and no unnecessary details.You do have study a little bit but no homework at all.
While I like Professor Long, his class was incredibly dull and difficult to understand. He posts all the powerpoints and study guides online, so you basically don't need to attend class. He speeds through the information though, so you may want to study on your own time. EXTREMELY easy class though, the exams are very short.
Dont have to go because he posts outlines of his lectures. Anything in the test will be in the outlines. Does curves and/or test retakes. STUDY YOUR OUTLINES SERIOUSLY IF YOU'RE NOT GOING. Got a C on the first test because I underestimated it but got 100% on the retake and then A's on the other 2 exams. Took in summer still easy even with less time
Awesome guy, class is boring but he'll go out of his way to help you if you just ask. Some studying is required, but its an easy A.
Easy easy easy class. I cannot stress that enough. Attendance not mandatory. Lectures are really boring. Try to read the book, but all the test questions come from study guides. 3 tests make up the entire grade, but as long as you read the study guides you'll make an A. Offers retests and keeps highest score, extra credit, and curves tests.
Easy A but you have to read the study guide before each exam. Attendance is not mandatory but he sometimes gives extra credit in class. No tricky questions on the exams, everything is simple and straight forward. He is also pretty funny. Definitely recommend him.
One of the easiest classes I have taken! He is such a cute little old man. Recommend this class as one of the first college classes you take!
I loved him! Although I took it at 8 am everyday, he was really awesome and had funny ways to relate to things and help them be remembered. He made class interesting. This is a class you have to study for though!
Easy class and professor. He's nice and laid back. There's a website with the chapter outlines/summaries and he provides the lecture notes. Often reviews old tests and answers before exams and they aren't very hard. Get the ebook, (half the price) because you won't need it a lot. Boring lectures, but go to class, he gives extra credit pop quizzes.
DO NOT BUY THE TEXTBOOK! I love him. He is passionate about the subject. Super easy class. Everything you need to know will be in his powerpoints, no need for textbooks. Lot's of extra credit. He tells you what will be on the test basically so even though attendance is optional, I suggest you go. It makes studying 1000X easier. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Super super easy class. Easy A. 4 exams and an optional extra credit final. Multiple extra credit pop quizzes near the end of the semester. The exams are easy and he provides a study guide online before every exam. We often finished lectures early and he'd let us leave. Read the study guide and show up for the exams and you'll get an A.
Its a good and easy general education class to take in order to fulfill one of your requirements. There are only four exams and five pop quizzes. The book is useless, just look online for exam reviews. Class attendance is not required. I think the videos help connect the lectures together.
Easy, easy A. Highly recommend if you want an easy Gen Ed. He gives powerpoint reviews for you to study before each test. DO NOT GET THE TEXTBOOK. I rented mine and didn't even open it once, because the reviews are all you need.
dont know why he bothers with his microphone it never works. aside from that this teacher is awesome i love professor long! great sense of humor had me laughing the whole time and easy although u have to study for the tests but can cram if u need
Professor Long is a great professor. His tests are pretty straightforward as long as you study the notes available on webcourses. You can cram if you need to and he gives extra credit towards the end of the semester. You should use the textbook to study for some of the test but you wont need it much.
He's a great professor and very knowledgeable! It's pretty much just ppt lectures, notes and test reviews which are helpful. He also puts the reviews online to look at so make sure to study those!!! But if you're very interested in anthropology, he's a great professor for any of those classes.
Best professor ever. Very easy if you use the study guide. He is very funny, and wants his students to do well.
Super easy. Never went to class and still got an A. His tests cover a lot of material and its all from his lecture notes and its all memorization.
Easy class for sure! Lectures are a bit dry but professor tries to add his own humor, which is kind of funny. Only went to class a few times and still did good. Just show up to get the study guide before the exams and you'll be good to go!
He is the best professor ever. He loves the subjects and wants everyone to succeed. He is sweet and funny. Take this class to get gen-ed requirement.
If you don't get an A you're doing something wrong. Professor Long is the freaking man. I loved the class, and him.
Don't bother attending class. You can study with the study guides and still get an A. He's a funny guy, but it's really hard to hear him and he reads right off the powerpoints.
Take this class!! So easy and class is not mandatory, I didn't even have the book for the class and still ended up with an A
Class is very easy. He post a review PowerPoint with all you need to know right before the exams.
This professor was so great! The class is really interesting- you don't have to show up every day if you don't want to. It's definitely easier if you attend for lectures & review, though.He has a cute sense of humor & even joked about not having a Hotness Pepper on here! DON'T GET THE BOOK! All the info needed to study is in power points:)Take him!
if you really want to know about anthropology just go to his office hours he''s very knowledgeable and he respects his students
Absolutely easy class(Human Species), take it for Gen Ed. Boring lectures, but has its amusing moments. Nice guy. Very into Human Species. Take this class! Test are pretty much word for word from practice tests. Just look over it and you will be fine. No assignments just tests. Easy A for sure. Don't buy any textbooks you literally don't use them.
This professor is great, you do not neccesarily need to show up for class since all the powerpoints are online but would still be helpful to go to class. He usually ends the class within 30-45 mins when it is supposed to be 1 hour and 50 min class. Really funny and interesting as well as easy tests! Do not need book!!! Super nice guy and helps out!
Really easy class, Professor Long teaches from the PowerPoint and his tests are also based of the PowerPoint. The textbook is not a necessity. I'd recommend you go to class because during the lecture he'll emphasize what's on the test. Definitely show up the class before the test because he has a practice test that's pretty much the actual test.
Long can't explain anything. If you have no knowledge of the course, DO NOT TAKE IT. His lectures along with his notes are SO scatterbrained that they are hard to follow, thus making the subject hard. His classes only go about 30 minutes if you go, but he just reads these terrible powerpoints. It makes it hard to do well.
Easiest class I've ever taken in my university career. Went to class three times aside from exam dates. Exams are based on powerpoint presentations. Did not buy the book; did not need it. Passed with a 98.
Professor Long is an all around great guy. Cares about his students and makes you laugh every time you walk in. The class was rather easy, and I would definitely recommend him. Will be taking him again for Human Species.
Don't buy the textbook, and you don't have to go to class. all of his lecture notes are online, so there's no point of going. Although, if you do wanna go to class, he does give a lot of hints to the test questions.
George Long is literally the man. His class is pretty easy and the tests are usually just like the reviews and the power points (hint: don't buy the book). He can be a bit scatterbrained and hard to follow but it doesn't really matter because the lectures aren't worth your time. Overall, its an easy class and he's a great guy.
Easiest science gen ed you can take. First off - DO NOT BUY THE BOOK. It's a waste of money. He says that there will be pictures from the book on the tests but there never is. You can skip every class and still get an A on tests because his tests are exactly like the review PowerPoint he creates. Also puts lecture PowerPoints online.
Human Species. Easy class. Lets you drop one of the four tests. Review is similar to the test. Don't really need textbook.
His tests are very straightfoward along with the material he gives you throughout the semester. Read through his notes a couple of times leading up to the test and you'll an A for sure. To be honest, I'm disappointed in anyone who gets anything below a B.
This class wasn't as easy as people said it would be. Your grade is made up of 4 50 question exams including the final. He drops the lowest one. Attendance not mandatory. Power points are all online. He does give review questions, but the test only consists about 8 of those questions. Study a good amount for each exam because he's no help
He doesn't take attendance and he puts up all his power points online. His lectures are also really short even though they are scheduled for longer. Didn't use the book once. But you do need to study. He does a review the class right before a test. YOU NEED TO GO TO THAT CLASS. But the rest, are fine if you don't attend.
Easy class. Don't buy the book. No need to go to class. There are four tests and for each test be sure to take two days to study his PowerPoint that has everything that can possibly be covered on the exam. I'll admit, it will be like 100 slides but for all the free time that you're already getting, its a little sacrifice. Lowest test is dropped.
The kind of professor I like. He is nice, ends early on fri, has movie days, helps out a lot. I went up with a question and he gave me the answer in a cute grandpa kind of way. I did study though, so you won't get an A without at least studying a day or two before. Test are the lectures, never read a chapter and got an A. Final helps, take it.
Never went to class. Only grades are 4 tests drops the lowest one. no homework, powepoints online, although unclear. gives study guides before test. Test kind of challenging easy B.
He's the easiest teacher I've had so far. Never went to class and passed with an A. 4 tests but drops your lowest test grade. Take him if your just looking to take it for your gen eds and not learn anything.
Loved him! He's funny and shows videos. Attendance isn't necessary, he just reads and further explains his PowerPoints online so I seldom attended lectures. DEFINITELY go to the review class before an exam! Fill out the study guides & memorize them. You'll ace the 4 exams because exam questions come from the study guides. You don't need the book.
Probably worst teacher I've ever had, ya the tests are straight from the slides but all he does for a review is put all of his power points into a big 150 slide presentation. Lectures are long and monotonous and he literally has his back to you the entire time, reading off the slides. I wouldnt take him again, but I like a more involved teacher.
Prof Long is cool, but he's suuuuuuper boring. I only went to class for the tests since he puts everything online. A waste of my time, but personally he's a great guy and he knows his stuff, just not the best lecturer.
You will not be able to understand anything he says because he is extremely monotone. His tests are very specific and he no longer puts the practice tests online and the ones he goes over in class are no longer the same tests as what he gives you for the exam. For those expecting an easy A, head up, he has changed his teaching style.
He is a great professor! He makes the lectures fun and interesting. The four tests were easy if you studied two days in advanced. Study the powerpoint slides and you will do fine.
Lectures were short, a bit boring though. All you need to do to pass this class is study the powerpoint notes.
4 exams and an optional final. If you complain that this class is too hard, you should probably head back to high school.
Long has changed his teaching style and is not as easy as everyone said he was. However he is still very easy compared to other teachers at UCF. 4 exams and optional final. But gives a very generous curve. Take him if you can. You won't regret it. He is the bomb!
George Long is NOT a difficult teacher. His tests have gotten a bit harder in the past year but if you read the powerpoints, you are guaranteed to get an A. He also provides extra credit AND a completely unnecessary curve. No one should be complaining about George Long because he is THE man.
Very, very easy class. Took in the summer, only 3 tests. He allowed retakes but this isn't always the case from what I hear. He gives you old test questions and powerpoint which are exactly what the test is on. Its not required to show up to class, but the days I missed, I found the powerpoint difficult to follow. No need to buy the textbook.
I really liked professor Long, he was very nice and he always pulled cheesy jokes that I found funny. Attendance is not required, reading the chapters REALLY reinforces the lectures, but as long as you understand and review the power point notes you will pass his class. Tests are easy and they all come from the notes. I ended the class with an A.
Always there for you. So cute and hilarious. Understands that this is not your only class and makes it manageable. Overall amazing teacher. Definitely take him if you have the opportunity. Also DONT WASTE MONEY ON THE TEXTBOOK.
Only 3 tests worth 50 points so you have to make sure that you study for them. His test are harder then before. Not an easy A but you can attain an A for the class if you study. You surley do not have to go to class but it is hard to follow the powerpoints after you have missed one. Again 3 tests no essay's to write!! Do Not Buy The Book.!!!!!
Took this class in the summer , it goes by pretty quickly. There are only 3 tests, it gets harder every test. No homework, you rarely use the textbook. Tests are based on the notes. Also listen to his lectures because some of the things he mentions that are not on the notes, it will most likely going to be on the test.
He is very funny and is a great professor. Lectures always end very early. He does have a tendency to be monotone, but is very funny all the same. Only grades are based on tests. Don't buy the book. He grades on a huge and unnecessary curve.
If you take him for Anthropology or for Human Species you will have a great time during the semester. Attendance is not mandatory and the notes are posted online. Tests are very similar to the practice ones. If you're looking for an easy A where you don't have to show up to class then George Long is your best option. Probably best professor at UCF
George Long is the cute grandpa you wish you had. He plays youtube videos in class and makes jokes about bands from the 60s. This is the easiest class I've ever taken. If you study 2 days before the test from the notes he posts online you'll get an A.
George Long is probably the worst lecturer I have ever seen. He is very monotone and mumbles, so it is difficult to understand him. I had a hard time paying attention in his class too because it is so boring. It is a pretty easy class though is you're just looking to pass and not learn anything. The only grades in this class are tests.
Got an A in the class. Pretty boring lectures. He puts powerpoints online so class is basically optional. Just study powerpoints and you'll pass.
As boring as a class this was I am thankful for it. It was an easy A and class is not mandatory. He provides all of the notes on canvas and his reviews are pretty similar to the exams. No homework either
Our grade is only composed of 4 tests. The 5th test is optional and will replace your lowest test. No busy work and no need to show up to lectures because he puts a study guide and all powerpoints online. The curve is this: 84.5 is an A, 79.5 is a B+, 74.5 is a B, 69.5 is a C+. Really nice guy. I had an 83.5 which is a B+ and he changed it to an A.
No busy work, no textbook, and no need to show up to lectures. During the lectures he reads the powerpoints word for word which are all on webcourses along with a study guide for the tests. Easy B but need to study a lot for an A. This is his grading scale: 84.5 is an A, 79.5 is a B+, 74.5 is a B, 69.5 is a C+.
He's a cool professor and he's nice and knows you're a student with other stuff to be doing. His lectures can be a little confusing because he's pretty monotone and all over the place, but the subject matter is easy. The only thing that makes the class hard is that there are four exams each worth 25% of your grade. also DONT BUY THE BOOK!!!
You never have to go to class but you DO have to teach yourself everything for tests. Nice man.
He's great and all because he cuts class early by like 30 min but he doesn't teach anything. Attendance is not mandatory but you should go for the reviews the class before tests. Only 4 tests, and final is optional. W lowest score dropped of the 5. long powerpoints of notes online but A LOT to memorize right before tests which are hard,dontneedbook
Overall this class was a basic gen ed credit. There are 4 tests and he curves your overall grade at the end of the semester. The tests are pretty difficult and you need to study but they are passable. I never attended class or read the textbook. Just study quizlets and go to the reviews and you should be fine. I ended up with a B in the class.
His lectures are just him reading off his powerpoints, but he tends to sort of confuse himself while doing so. Super boring. He posts his powerpoints on webcourses. Study guides are the exact test questions. I only went to class when there was a test, studied for like an hour the night before.
Very easy class to pass if you put in a tiny bit of effort. Total of 4 exams and an optional cumulative final to replace your lowest exam. My suggestion is to do well on the first four so you don't need to show up during exam week and can focus on more important classes. I only showed up the day before & day of exams and he rounds an 83.5 to an A!!
Professor Long is awesome. You can tell he knows what he's talking about. He goes through the powerpoints very fast so make sure you take quick notes, though he also posts them online for you to go over later. There are 4 tests and optional final exam. No homework!!! Also DO NOT BUY THE TEXTBOOK!!
Easy class. All powerpoint online. I only really showed up for tests and reviews.
Easy class considering I only went for the review day and test day. Memorize the powerpoint and the review he gives out (only available before the test, not online) and you'll be fine for exams. He drops the lowest score and there's 4 to makeup your whole grade. Don't buy the textbook. He curved the grades for my class and made my 72 count as a B.
He was one of my favorite professors. I was never really good with science stuff but he made it sound so easy. He really respects his students. I took his class my first year and whenever he sees me he says hello. He still remembers me. He's a sweet man and tries to be funny. Laugh just to humor him!
Easy guy just study the powerpoints and study guides and you'll pass. Plus he curves grades like nobody's business. You don't need the book or even to go to class. Just always have your student id for tests. There are like 4 test and the final is not mandatory. You will be fine!
Took physical anthropology with Long in spring 2016, super easy class. You do not need the textbook. I went to class everyday and studied about an hour for each test. Just read the powerpoints he puts online and you will be fine. Easy A
Took him in Summer 2014. Lol, I rated him as hotness because he was sad about not getting the chili pepper next to his name :-) Long is the stereotypical grandfather who casually says funny things, has had a life full of experiences, & seems to know about a lot. Book isn't needed, be ready for lots of vocab., great class for freshman & summer term
Easiest class I've had at UCF. George Long is also as wise as a mountain lion. Class attendance is not required, and all slides are online. Class usually ends early as well.
Professor Long is soooo great! Hilarious if you like cheesy jokes. Lectures can drag sometimes, but it's important to always go because he puts up "previous test questions" and says they won't be on the test, but really he just reverses the answer/question and puts that on there. Tests are SO easy if you are there on those days. Book helps too
This class is easy considering that it's a science credit. Just memories the PowerPoints word by word. Gives a lot of extra credit, he made my 80 into a B+. Nice guy!
He posts the power points online and just reads them out loud in lectures. He has a review class before the day of the test. Attendance is not mandatory, & no textbook is needed, just use his notes. 6 MC tests total but 5 are required. He's funny, but in a dry & sarcastic way, he tries to keep interested since it gets boring. Overall I enjoyed it!
I was enrolled in Long's Human Species class for the Spring 2016 semester. My 69.5 was curved to a C+. Completely adorable guy. Lets you make up exams whenever works best for you. Lectures were usually a graveyard, don't bother. Don't waste money on a book either, his slides are all you will need. Overall, I enjoyed Long & would recommend him.
You do not have to go to class. I only went to reviews and test days. All power points are online, and uploads old tests that are the basis of what you should study
Easiest class I ever took. Attendance is not mandatory. Didn't learn much, but it was fun laughing at his jokes.
EASIEST CLASS EVER. I showed up to class only before exams for the reviews. Study the reviews and the powerpoint slides online, no need to go to class! He gives a generous curve also!
I did take a summer class so it might be different for fall or spring classes.
This class was an easy A as long as you show up (attendance isn't mandatory but it'll make your life a LOT easier). During his lectures, he specifically says what we need to know and what we don't need to know for the test. He gives out practice tests that are really similar to the test. He lets out early every day and the textbook wasn't needed.
Gives very generous curve at end. No one goes to lecture but when I did he was very funny and would give away test questions. Easy class if you study test questions he says in class and ones he posts online. if you don't do this though you won't pass.
Professor Long is a sweet man who makes jokes all throughout his class. He usually lets us out early but always stays after if you have any questions. He loves to use his PowerPoints but does not upload the exact ones online. He usually gives away test answers during his lectures and does provide very generous curves/drops scores.
Very funny. Makes jokes throughout the lecture, even takes a break from material sometimes. He reads off his power points during class, and the tests are usually based on the power points. However, he does give specifics on what will be on tests and sometimes what an answer might be on specific questions. Great class!
Professor Long's class is very upfront and straightforward! The grades are based off exams, and Professor Long provides practice exams before the actual exams. Type up the practice exams on PurposeGames, and they should be very good practice for the real exams. If you do that, you'll get an A even without his curve.
George Long is the best prof. at UCF. He's funny, easy to understand, and most of all he's easy. You don't need the book EVER, just take notes, he goes over the whole test beforehand so you really don't need to go to class. An overall great guy! I took all the classes he offered. You will not be disappointed.
Long is really nice. He posts his powerpoints but will tell you things to watch out for during exams in class. I attended class about 60% of the time and did just fine. 4 exams (1 being the "final") that are split among 3-4 chapters each. He hosts a review day the class period before the exams. As long as you keep up with the slides you will do ok.
He is super nice but easily one of the most disorganized professors I've ever had. He posts PowerPoints online but the ones he uses in class are different, making it difficult to follow along. His grammar, punctuation, and organization of the PowerPoints and other documents is not very good and is also hard to understand. I do not recommend taking!
I thought this class was going to be easy but IT'S NOT. If you're looking for an easy A anthropology class, do not take this one. I studied for the tests really hard and still got C's, and tests are the only thing in the grade book. I would have honestly liked some homework just so I would be able to bring my grade up.
George Long is the man! His lectures can be a little repetitive and boring, but he is kind, funny, and just a sweet old man! If you study the power points that are posted online and actually try, you will do well!
This class was super easy. His classes are all lectures based off his powerpoints. I barley went to class only on class day before the exam and still passed with an A. Super easy, study the "old test questions" even though they're not the same exact ones on the test they're VERY similar so you'll do good.
His lectures can be kind of boring sometimes but he's quite funny and nice. There are only four tests so you have to study well but he gives a huge curve. There are review days right before the test so make sure you go to those. Don't get the book. The only thing graded are the tests.
He reads off of the powerpoints in class, with test question give-aways and dry humor sprinkled in. Don't bother going to class, but DO bother to teach yourself the material and review for the tests beforehand. You'll be fine.
Buying book is a waste of $60, he picks and chooses material so much you're better off only looking at the slides he posts. You don't have to go to class, but he often tells you questions or details directly on the test that you won't find on the power points. You'll either love or roll your eyes at his jokes but he's an overall a really nice guy.
Dr. Long has 4 exams throughout the year, all weighted equally with a slight curve. The course started off with pretty easy concepts that carried over from high school biology. However, the last two exams required you to know certain dig sites and scientific names. All presentations are online and good info on Quizlet.
This is probably the easiest class I've ever taken. Textbook isn't used and attendance wasn't necessary either. Literally just read through the slides, take notes, and do the practice tests and you'll get an A. The tests are REALLY similar to the practice tests so make sure you memorize that. He also curves grades at the end of the semester.
Overall a decent professor. You don't have to go to class each session, just make sure to take notes on the powerpoints he uploads for each exam, go to the class before each exam for example questions (I found those helpful). You probably won't need the textbook so don't bother, I didn't use one and got an A, just studied his powerpoints.
Boring class but he tries to make it enjoyable. I went to the first couple classes, then realized you can just go to the reviews before the test and do fine. Tests aren't too hard would recommend if you don't want to go to class and need a science credit.
He's adorable. Only 4 tests the whole term, didn't even need the textbook because he reviews what is on the test the week prior. If I paid attention more, it would have been a legit easy A. BEWARE THE MONKEYS THOUGH!!
The man is a legend, everyone should take him! You will learn more about life from taking one class of his than you would in an entire lifetime. He teaches beyond the course. Probably the hottest professor on campus too.
Highly recommend this teacher to anyone who needs an easy A. Power points are all online, and the tests are extremely easy if you actually study. Lectures can be boring, but he tries to make it as interesting as possible. Curves test grades. No homework, like at all. Don't bother buying the textbook, it's still sitting in my room unopened.
Didn't even buy the book. Didn't show up to class and passed with a B. Gives study guides that are essentially the test. Take this class lol! 4 Exams
He is the best!
good class teacher
very good
