Can be a bit long winded in class, if you study the material and do the reading (he gives A LOT) the class is not hard.

Lots of reading, pretty in depth and lengthy tests. Multiple choice tests a bonus. Showed us a lot of movies towards the end of the semester, which was pretty nice. Accidently slept through a test once and he let me make it up that week.

well traveled, very intelligent, will teach a lot to those willing to learn.

This guy is so nice, one of the best for anthro. He gives some reading, but it's really not that hard. He's very fair on tests and if you have a dispute, he'll give you credit. If you are a lazy **** don't take him and go to Trident.

Very nice professor.

He goes over everything on the test in class. He assigns about 3 chapters and 4 essays for each test, you don't have to read these to make a B+ He is an awesome guy. He shows cool movies!

this class is exelent and Rashford is the greatest teacher i have ever had he is the most understanding teacher and has othing bu respect for all his students.

Very nice guy with a great sense of humor. Tests aren't that bad, less that average amounts of reading, and considers credit for alot of wrong answers. Take him.

AMAZING professor! very interesting and fun- has much respect for students and is so nice. he really knows anthropology and makes it great.

Rashford is awesome, he knows what he's talking about, makes anthropology interesting, and shows really cool videos.

Great teacher who really cares about his students. A great class to take for anybody

Very easy clear teaching.

Good teacher, nice, and helpful. Anthropology is not all it is cracked up to be and if you are taking it just for the heck of it like I did then think again it brought my GPA down instead of up!

he's a very good professor and loves to teach. his upper level classes are a little bit more difficult than the 101 class but as long as you read the material and listen/come to class, you'll get a good grade.

Not to bad for something i had no interest in.

Dr. Rashford makes the subject very interesting. I was not interested at all in the subject and am now considering a minor in it! A lot of studying and only 3 multiple choice tests including the final! No extra credit so study hard and pay attention and you'll pass!

Wonderful person, easy teacher, very knowledgeable about his subject and excited about teaching. Material is interesting and not at all complicated. Workload quite do-able and tests are very easy. Cares about his students and asks for their opinion when possible. Highly recommended!

Enjoyed his class a lot. Would recommend it to anyone. It is a large class though, so I would recommend sitting towards the front :-)

Very nice teacher. If you pay attention in class and do the assigned readings you are guaranteed a good grade. Homework consists of assigned readings given well in advance. No quizzes. Two exams and a final exam all worth 1/3 a piece of your final grade.

Great teacher! He is always willing to help and makes class interesting! He always relates it to real life to make it easier to understand! He has also had many personal experiences that go a long with his lectures! Very interesting and great man! you should definatly take him!

Everybody will tell you he's the best teacher in the department, and it's true. Come to class every day, pay attention, and you guarenteed a good time and an A. Easy, fun, and interesting. Sign up for his class soon because they fill up fast!

wonderful all around teacher with great sense of humor. only 3 grades all semester.

Wonderful teacher! Take this class. He makes it interesting and has many stories to tell. He is the best!

Dr. Rashford is awesome. He is soooo sweet. To be honest, his tests are very hard, but his personality makes up for it. Read the chapters it will help. He is great and very helpful if you need help. I loved him!

he is a great man... very interesting to listen to.. tests aren't easy but make sure you read everything he assigns...

Anything you can take from this guy, do. He is absolutely the best teacher on the planet!

Truly one of the coolest people I've ever met. He is really nice and knows what he's talking about. His tests are not easy but they aren't too hard either. Great teacher!

Awesome Professor and a great Man. I wanna be just like him when I grow up ;)

Probably the best prof at CofC without a doubt. Very caring, sincere, and real. He's one of the best and brightest people that I have ever known. Take his classes and be amazed at what he teaches.

TAKE A CLASS FROM HIM IF YOU EVER HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY!!!

I graduated last year but want anyone who has the chance to take his classes. He is the best teacher at CofC and is an amazing man. The best class you will ever take.

An excellent communicator. His clarity and comprehensive commentary are a tremendous resource for students.

Class seems more like a conversation than a lecture. He is a nice guy who is really interested in anthropology. The tests are easy if you do the reading. There is a lot of it, but he lets you know plenty of time ahead. One of my favorite profs this year!

Dr. Rashford is one of the most intelligent people I have ever met. He really loves Anth. and looovvveeesss Plants. There is alot of reading but there are no papers or essays due during the semester. Tests are fairly easy. All multiple choice. Take Dr. Rashford if you ever have the chance, you won't regret it.

best prof at c of c

I had Dr. Rashford over ten years ago!! He is the reason I majored in anthro.- a subject he introduced to me. He was (I guess- "is" from reading comments) AMAZING-- brilliant, kind, travelled, good listener, accessible, just all around a great professor!

Very easy class. I would see sweat build on the brows of other students as each test was handed back, but if you do the reading and review it briefly you shouldn't have any major issues. Entertaining films and stories, too. Minor issue with last test: no questions on an assigned book (Forest People) and the essay felt a little like forced praising.

Great professor! He really loves what he teaches (as well as plants) and gets a real thrill out of someone retaining what he's said in class. He's very helpful and the tests weren't too hard, just multiple choice.

I had Dr. Rashford years ago...graduated in 94 with Anthropology degree...he was the reason...best professor and advisor I ever had. He is a wonderful person...he will help guide you in whatever direction you choose. Even though I majored in Anthropolgy, he helped me get into grad school for social work and helped me to get internships in that fiel

Great teacher. Read over your notes, study them, and read the assigned readings and you will do well in this class. Very friendly man and very helpful.

This guy was born to teach this! He is all a teacher should be and more. I never missed a class because I wanted to be there. This is the professor to get!

Dr. Rashford is such a sweet man. He has a lot of expierence with Anthropology and really takes intrest in students learning and understanding of the subject. His slightly hard to understand due to his Jamaican accent, but other then that, if you do the reading and take notes in class, you should be pretty well prepared for his tests.

Origin of agriculture. SO cool. Lecture is fun and we watch great videos. such a nice man with a very interesting background. Take him, he treats his students with the upmost respect yet still keeps it fun by talking about things other teachers would consider taboo (sex, drugs, alcohol) lots of fun but professional and interesting too! take it/him!

Professor Rashford is amazing. He cares so much about his students and the discipline, it makes you just as passionate and interested in Anthropology as he is. I came to the college somewhat considering anth as mm major, and after his class, I was fully swayed to declare it. A truly remarkeable human being.

A brilliant man and wonderful person.I remember everything he ever said. Its been a few years so I don't recall the class codes.

A brilliant man and wonderful person.I remember everything he ever said. Will spend as much time with you as you need.

Probably one of the best professors I have ever had at cofc. Im a comm major and took his caribbean class as an elective and I have learned so much it's ridiculous. He's extremely intelligent, funny, kind, and an incredible teacher. He's obsessed with plants(it's kinda adorable) and i feel like he knows everything about anything. LOVED IT.

Had to take Rasford for 101, enjoyed his class most of the time. You can tell he's passionate about anthropology, especially plants and how they relate to people. Tests were mainly multiple choice, not that hard if you take good notes. Plus, he looks like Morgan Freeman and his accent is awesome, so that helped make it more enjoyable. Take him!

Rashford is a good professor, he covers the info throughly and assigns mandatory articles which provide proof of the concepts talked about in class. He is a nice man, with a cool accent, so that helps to maintain interest. My only criticism is that sometimes he doesn't explain concepts fully, but if you talk to him he'll go into more detail.

Dr. Rashford is a very nice man. He loves the subject of Anthropology, it is easy to tell. His lectures are good but sometimes drag on and may even be a bit confusing at points. The book is not used during class but I recommend you read the chapters on your own. His tests are challenging but are just multiple choice.

READ THE TEXT BOOK! Tests come from lectures and text book. Definitely learn the vocabulary. Only three tests for your entire grade so make sure to do well. I loved him as a teacher and would def take him again.

Amazing professor! Passionate and interesting to listen to. He will teach you the subject matter but also about life. His anth 101 class inspired me to get a minor in anthropology before I graduated.

Awesome professor! Dr. Rashford is passionate and interesting to listen to. He will teach you about the subject and about life! His 101 class inspired me to get a minor in anthropology. One of the greatest teachers at The College.

Dr. Rashford is a really passionate about Anthropology. Willling to help if you reach out to him. Only grades are 3 exams including the final. I think it would've been impossible to pass the class had I not attended every class.

He is such an insanely sweet and interesting man. Dr. Rashford is so passionate and makes you interested in the topics he is discussing. I never dreaded class, but also didn't want to miss one because his lectures are important. His tests can be a little difficult because sometimes he doesn't go too detailed into topics. Would highly recommend.

I absolutely love Professor Rashford! His lectures can be kinda dull but he gives all the information you need for the tests in class. Readings are pretty interesting and not super difficult. Really easy to talk to and genuinely a cool person. Look forward to class every time. Only 3 tests and no cumulative final!

Rashford is a super interesting guy with lots of cool stories to tell. He's from Jamaica and has traveled all over the world which means he really knows what he's talking about in class. Be prepared though. We only had 3 grades including the final, if you bomb one youre in trouble. I never opened my textbook but maybe I would have got an A if i had

I LOVED Dr. Rashford! He was an excellent professor and really knew what he was talking about. However, if you aren't good with lecture-style classes, he's not for you. His lectures were long but interesting and he spoke relatively fast. Do read the articles, they are interesting and will ALWAYS be on the tests! I'd 100% take him again!

Really enjoyed Rashford. You have to come to class to pass. You can easily make an A if you pay attention, take notes, participate, and study the exam review. He doesn't try to trick you on exams. Only 3 exams about 70 -95 questions. The test aren't cumulative. Also, the 3rd exam is taken during your scheduled final time.

I loved Rashford! He was a little boring at the beginning of the semester but it gets better. Your entire grade is 3 tests so make sure you prepare for all 3. I wish I had spent the whole semester recording his lectures because sometimes he speaks too fast to write it down. He's super nice at his office hours and super helpful when clarifying.

Dr. Rashford is the sweetest, funniest guy he cares about his students and is very passionate about Anthropology. It was sometimes a little difficult to hear/keep up with him in class, but his lectures are very interesting & he relates well to students. 3 exams, 2/3 are all multiple choice; the final is multiple choice& one essay. Take Dr. R!

Professor Rashford is an amazing person, his personal experience in Anthropology adds so much to his lectures. If you pay attention you will enjoy this class.

I absolutely love Dr. Rashford. His personal stories and his passion for anthropology and plants is truly amazing. Although attendance doesn't affect your grade per se, he does watch who skips class and it does influence how lenient he is with grading tests. I would highly recommend.

I love the class except sometimes I get distracted of how similar he looks to Morgan Freeman. Like I go to class expecting a lecture, but instead I feel like I'm watching a movie in a theater.... had to withdraw because i couldn't get over his looks

Professor Rashford is the most kind and wise professor at cofc. He genuinely loves what he does and cares about his students. I never got above a b- on tests but because i showed up to class and tried I ended with an A-. He is a true Gem, every professor should strive to be like Rashford.
