Fun, laid back guy with a great sense of humor. Knows his stuff and makes the class understandable. Can be tough at times but if you keep up its a fairly easy A.

Jason is a good teacher who is laid back and easy to get along with. His tests are take home and easy to do if you pay attention in class. Jason has a wide knowledge of this subject and can answer any question you have. I suggest his call to the fullest.

Good teacher. Knows his stuff. He isn't boring. Tests are very thorough and somewhat difficult. His class is an excellent general ed that everyone would benefit from taking. With a bit of effort I got an A in this class.

I had little interest in this subject before the class but Jason made me change my major to anthropology because this class was so interesting. I learned more in this class than any other I've ever had. Do readings, fill out study questions, show up to class and its an easy easy A.

Fabulous teacher! Take him for your gen ed if you get the chance. He is hilarious, passionate and overall adorable. One of my favorite teachers at Missouri State!

Jason is an awesome professor. He is super interesting and you don't even have to take tests in his class. Do not confuse this class for a blow off class though because there is a good amount of work and if you fall behind it would be very difficult to catch back up.

No book needed, and super easy. Just keep up on readings so you are not blindsided by quizes (but he does cover the subject in class).

This instructor is the most engaging general education teacher I have had. He does an awesome job making the readings and discussions worth doing. I had little interest in the subject previously but this class and professor does a great job of stimulating interest and demonstrating the subject's importance and relevance. Would take again.

Ton of reading. Go to class to make sure you get the answers to the discussion questions. You can use them on the final. Super easy points. Not my favorite class. Group project sucks. No time in class to get together.

Jason has an obsession with people being on Facebook and texting during class. There is a lot of reading and some of the articles are real beasts. Go to class to get the answers. His grading can be inconsistent, but he clearly knows what he's talking about and enjoys sharing his knowledge. There aren't many points possible so keep up with stuff.

ENROLL INTO HIS CLASS NOW!!! He's an awesome teacher and is very respectable and understanding. He's real. Not a quack. One of my favorite teachers ever. Do what is expected and there should be no reason you shouldn't get an A.

He is very good looking and is a very easy class. I had him for intro and went to class everyday. It was one of the easiest A's all semester! I say take his class if it is an option!

He changed his course a lot since 2012. His class is easy, and he'll make an effort if you will!

Jason is such a considerate professor. He's very knowledgeable and articulate. He took the class seriously and was very helpful. At the beginning of the course, we were assigned reading with worksheets but changed it to online quizzes instead. He doesn't take attendance, but shows culture videos he uses for questions in tests. Highly recommend!

Jason changed my life. I had no idea that I would choose anthropology as my major until I took his class. He's super knowledgeable about anthropology and he's incredibly helpful. There is a lot of reading in his class but I found most of it interesting. I definitely recommend taking Jason's class.

Super nice guy and not bad to look at either! Lots of reading and the quizzes are hard sometimes. He takes attendance, so you have to go to class or you'll lose points.

Not a difficult class, but you definitely need to keep up on the work. You lose 2 points for every class you miss and there are usually two quizzes per week. Midterm and final are online and open-note. The only reason I didn't get an A is because I slacked off. Do the work and you won't have to exert much effort to get an A.

Jason was a great professor. You could tell he really cared about the material. Attendance is important though (you lose points if you don't go to class) and some of the online quizzes were tricky, but if you pay attention in class and actually do the readings, you'll be fine. Class participation isn't required.

He is very passionate about what he teaches. He is very fair and will help you out whenever needed. His class is very easy to pass if you pay at least SOME attention.

Jason, to me, is an example of what a good teacher should be. He's personable, but not personal, passionate, lectures are exciting, reading is informative (if dense), and everything required of the student is clear and streamlined. He detracts some points for absences and the online chapter quizzes can be difficult, but overall: great experience.

Pretty good class. Jason is laid back and a very engaging lecturer. Expect one book and a paper during the first half of the semester, and a group project at the end. Read the assignments, take the quizzes, and show up to class and you'll do great. The subject is fairly interesting (I took it as a gen-ed).

Jason. We can use his first name. He's super chill. I really enjoyed every lecture. He has degrees in history, anthro, Latin American Studies and is getting one in public health. Show up to class so you don't get points deducted. Study the answersquestions for the online quizzes. The same questions appear on the final.

Class consists of weekly quizzes. Do the readings and you will be fine. Also, has two papers, one over a book he has you read, and the other goes along with the group project he assigns second part of the semester. Make sure to attend class, he does take off points for skipping class. A midterm and final are the only tests, overall not a bad class.

One of the best professors I've had so far, very excited to share his knowledge with you. Other than the midterm and final there are weekly quizes, papers over chapters of a book every few weeks, and a final project in the last weeks of the semester. Go to class, take notes, read and you'll be fine.

I loved Jason's class! He is a very laid back person and I learned a lot from him, however his organization is at a minimum and he doesn't like to answer his email very often. If you like Anthro, you will learn a lot from him because he is very passionate about his profession, but it won't be an easy A.

He is great! Show up or you will lose points, do the papers on time and do the extra credit and you will be golden!

Jason was the best college professor I have ever had. His class is very fun to attend and he is very knowledgable on the subject. He inspired me to become an anthropologist.

Jason is a great professor. He is incredibly smart and makes lectures very entertaining. This class was very hard and you have to do the readings to do well, but the class in so interesting. Only a mid term and final. One group project, attendance is a must he takes 5 points each day you miss, readings are assigned before every class.

Jason is a phenomenal teacher. He's honestly one of my favorites and has made me love anthropology. His lectures are fascinating and full of energy, and all the readings are really interesting. Everything is very clear and straightforward. Definitely a teacher and class that I would take again. Highly recommend him.

Jason was an amazing teacher! Prepare for multiple reading assignments a week with a follow up quiz on each. Attendance is a big part of your grade. His lectures are long but very engaging and he likes to hear your opinions and questions. I got a B because I quit reading the material, but it is all there. Honestly considered switching major to ANT.

GREAT! Mr Shepard is one of my favorite teachers ever. He is very nice and understanding and his lectures are informing and well said. He has encouraged me to major in Anthropology.

Jason is probably the best professor I've ever had. He's understanding, he's incredibly knowledgeable and seems to genuinely care about his students. There is a short article and quiz due every class period, but I found them easy and interesting. He ends every class by saying 'you all are looking particularly lovely today', which I adore. 10/10.

He is a great lecturer, but his homework is misleading, and there aren't very many opportunities for points. Thankfully, he offers extra credit, but it is hard-earned extra credit. This is not an easy A class, but it is a very good class for anyone serious about learning the material. Shepard is also an actual anthropologist and has experience.

Mandatory attendance, gives tons of extra credit, few online quizzes a week-pretty easy, no tests besides online midterm and final, interesting to listen to, would definitely recommend

"Jason" as he has his student call him, is brilliant and has a relaxed personality. His class policies- not so much. No electronics even laptops, deducts points for missing class/tardiness. He is a brutal grader. Gives E/C opportunity but you will really have to work to get it.

He's a great teacher! It is a lecture heavy class. There's reading and online quizzes that is most of the point for the class. There is a paper and a group project. He docks five points for every class you miss. Jason makes the classes interesting! The lectures are not boring at all. However, he gives out a lot of opportunities for extra credit.

Jason is very passionate about the topic. You have online readings with quizzes, but the time for the quiz is unlimited and you can use the reading while taking it. You need to read the book assigned for the paper, and there is one group project. You need to go to class, but he offers lots of extra credit for missed classes or missed quiz points

Overall a decent guy, my favorite part is he says "I love ya guys" all the time. Great class for a GPA boost. Class is mainly discussion, reading quizzes are simple, and one group project at the end of the semester.

Jason is an awesome teacher and very knowledgeable, however, his tests really suck and for this class there is only a midterm and final with some smaller assignments on the side. You really have to know the material to get an A.

He's definitely the best professor I've had this semester. I highly recommend him and this class. I learned a lot and wish I could take more classes with him.

Love listening to Jason. You have to go to every class or you'll lose points, and there are weekly reading quizzes. 1500 word book report due at midterm-- stressful, but if you do it half decent, you'll get full credit. Tests are online, fairly difficult. Honestly, the class was pretty easy to get an A in, but quite a lot of work at some points.

Show up to every class and write down what he says. Lots of Extra Credit but its hard to do. Lots of reading.

Really cool and laid back professor. He uses online reading assignments and quizzes. He does two tests, one paper, and one presentation but he grades very easily. Just show up and do all of the easy assignments! He deducts 5 points from overall grade for every absence, it can really tank a grade at the end of the year.

Jason is one of the best Gen Ed teachers I have had yet. Yes, he does talk for a while but he cracks jokes every now and then to lighten the mood. I took this class as a Gen Ed requirement and he made me look forward to it. Of course, there is a lot of work involved, but you can't expect to get an "A" without working hard on your classwork.

I loved this class, I took it online. Theres many weekly quizzes, about the assigned readings, you actually have to read them to do well but they're are really interesting! There's only a midterm and final, they're pretty tough but if you've done the work you should do well. If you're not wanting to try at all then this course prob isn't for you.

Jason is by far one of my favorite professors I have ever had. He is literally one of the reasons I decided to major in Anthropology. His lectures are interesting, and the stories he tells really help you understand the topics. I would definitely recommend!

Jason is so funny. His lectures are literally the best. He requires a lot of reading, but most of the material can be found on quizlet and the readings are actually very interesting. Show up to class because he takes attendance.

I loved this class. There are weekly quizzes that are a lot of reading but overall not that difficult. Jason is really caring and willing to help if you put in the effort. This has been my favorite class at Missouri State so far. I am lazy, and do not like doing a ton of homework but if you stay on top of this class it really isn't too bad.

This class is an online option and I would recommend. There is a lot of information given at once, but it is completely manageable. If you read the text that is provided you are guaranteed an A on the quiz/homework. He is really easy to get ahold of as well and gives good feedback.

Jason is a great professor and has some of the most interesting lectures which are the best part of this class by far. There is a required textbook but it is a free online download. All assignments and exams are online, open-book/note, and multiple choice. There is a good amount of reading required for the course but it didn't feel like work to me.

Pretty good professor everything was mainly online it was just about setting time to get the things done. Class wasn't that difficult but the amount of work that we had to do per week made it seem like it was. One week we were expected to do 15 quizzes, discussion board, and a midterm. Again, everything is online but still it was a lot.

Very much a love him or hate type of professor. Lots of reading and the first tests are fairly difficult. He does provide study guides and usually will give feedback on missed questions. Lectures are entertaining, but he can easily get off track however this usually doesn't hurt anything. One final essay at the end, it is fairly simple though.

I absolutely loved his world cultures class. I consider myself a very open-minded person and this class has further stretched my opinion of the world (in a good way). I genuinely think Ill carry and use the information I learned in this class throughout my life. He is a really funny guy and if you do you homework you will absolutely be fine.

Class is VERY boring because all class time is lecture. BUT all the work is online, 7ish quizzes and Packback due every two weeks which is plenty of time to get them done (not on Respondus so Quizlet is your BFF). TONS of EC like literally could have 140% in this class.

It's a blended course so everything is online. Lots of reading and there are quizzes assigned to them. They are easy and you can find the answers online. His lectures are pretty boring but he does take points for attendance. I never paid attention in class. He does offer lots of extra credit opportunities though. Overall easy class for GenED

One of my favorite classes I have ever taken. Genuinely changed my outlook on a lot of things and my view of the world as a whole. Jason is such an interesting guy which makes his lectures entertaining and worthwhile. Class is very easy if you just put in a little work and turn assignments in.

This class is an easy A that is full of busy work. The lectures are mandatory for 5 points each. 10-15 quizzes on blackboard each week that are on quizlet, no lockdown. Entertaining nice guy. Offers some extra credit.

Entire class material is taking online quizzes over articles and videos you're supposed to read. When actually in class he just tells stories about his personal experiences which can be quite interesting but only remotely relate to the class. He is very kind and loving and will help you if you are struggling. 10/10

If you don't enjoy anthropology or history his lectures can be boring and disorganized, but if you do it can be really enjoyable. There were a lot of assignments to do, but they are all online and are really easy and can be done at any point before they are due. He is also very understanding and willing to discuss issues you may have with the class

I really like this class and the Jason is extremely really nice. His stories he shares if really funny. There is a lot of reading and quizzes but its really simple. There is a lot of reading and videos to watch with this course. You have two weeks to do a unit and there are 7 units plus 2 exams which you will have 3 hours to take.

I loved ANT 100 with Prof. Shepard. The content was presented very objectively and he made sure to touch on different points of view for just about everything discussed. When I went to him one-on-one with an inclusivity concern he heard me out and adjusted his next lecture to reflect such. Keeps the subject interesting and has good articles.

Really easy and fun class. Would recommend!

I took this class online and it was one of the easiest classes I have taken. He opens up everything so you can get it done when you want. You are graded on assignments all that are 10 points and you just comment on the things you are reading to get the points. Your tests are 100 points and 100 questions, open note, 120 minutes.

This professor is a great professor. Majority of your work is online, but he lectures every dat and take attendance points as well. He has all of his work open and due dates posted, so all you have to do is show top and turn your assignments in on time .

Professor Shepard's course covers a lot of ground, but with unstuckstudy and the free textbook, you can stay on top of the readings and quizzes. He's engaging in lecture, and attendance is mandatory, so it's worth going.

Every class is a lecture, but they are very interesting, and I've never been bored. My only complaint would be the amount of reading. There are at least 25 documents that you need to read and comment on for each of the four tests that are sometimes long. However, they do cushion your grade, as they are easy points. Would definitely recommend!

The only reason I wouldn't give Jason a 5 is because his tests are a bit odd. Part-way through the semester he switched from an entirely true/false and added some short answers. He is very funny. I will caution this is a reading-heavy class and readings are worth 10 points each. There are only unit deadlines so you have to stay sharp.

Class was super simple. His lectures were sometimes disengaging and hard to follow. You must time manage if you don't you will not do good. There is a lot of reading and the tests are pretty difficult if you don't read. However the class while hard was fun.
