Anth 150 with Prof. Hunley is one of the easiest classes I have ever taken. He dumbs down the material and makes a high grade unreasonably easy. Good intro class (especially to boost confidence) but not recommended if you've taken Anth 101. It's pure review with some basic biology tossed in at the beginning.

Anthro is an evolving field and he does not keep up with the advances, his lectures are at least 2 years old and has alot of material that is outdated. Although he may be knowledgable in the field, he is not able to communicate that knowledge effieciently. Textbooks were not used once.
