He looks kind of like the monkeys he teaches about. Gives a lot of extra points on the exam, not a bad teacher, would take him again.

He has a unique style of teaching which makes the class interesting! His sence of humor is dark, so that also made it fun

He is a great teacher, very knowledgeable on the subject. If you go to every lecture, learn whats in it and whats in his jeopardy games, you'll get an A. You don't have to read the book. Everything on his test is in his lecture.

Easy teacher. Go to leactures .and pay very close attention to jeopardy. Nice guy...laughs at himself a lot but he knows what he is talking about and is interesting

Very easy exams if you study his lectures. 95% of the test is on the jeorpardy game. Many extra points. I just wondered why he used the same pants the whole summer session. An easy A. He knows what he teaches.

TAKE NOTES ON JEOPARDY and you will pass the class with at least a 85% of better, do not buy the book, you will be waisting your money, you do not need it. I would take him again if I had to.

You'll either love or hate this guy, but you'll be able to figure it out after the first class or two.

He certainly has his own technique of teaching, but you will learn alot from him. He does wear the same pair of pants everyday, and they have holes in them why? Show up for jepordy and watch out on his tests he can twist the words from the notes you

He is ok. Very knowlegeable in his subject. He is not very clear in explaining his assignments.

Really smart guy. Really funny. Come to class and pay attention, you should do fairly well.

I think Prof. Blood is excellent. He makes the subject interesting and easy to learn by giving you fun facts and examples. Come to class, take good notes on the lectures and Jeopardy and you will do great! I would take him again in a heartbeat!

great teacher, made the class fun and easy.I dont like science and I got an A.BELIEVE me, I normally get C's in science...Summer school WAS ACUTUALLY ENJOYABLE. Highly recommended.

nice guy. funny, not egotistical. tests are fair, offers good review. generous term paper grading.fair class, anyone should pass if they do the work.

Great teacher. Fair and impartial in his grading. You either make the grade or you dont. Tests are good, they show how well you know the material. Doesnt deviate or surprise you at all. I recommend taking Prof Blood class to anyone.

Opinionated, in a good way. Presented exactly what would be on the tests. I liked him a lot.

Easy B, but need to study hard for an A. Do extra credit papers! Take notes during jeopardy and play! Take him and make sure to take good notes and go to class!

Different kind of person teaching a really wild course. Gives you a different perspective on the world. His test can surprise you though so make sure you study well for exams. Easy B with effort but knock yourself out for A.

Awesome instructor! Very down-to-earth. Classes are very structured and you "do have to study." Do the extra-credit to buffer your test grades. Loved his stories and the way he dressed. He weeds out the whimps very quickly.

He's fun, and loves what he does. He makes even the most boring stuff seem interesting.

Mike is a great teacher!How can anybody be so mean and wish him harm?Stop commiting ad homonens and think of something to say that ACTUALLY effects his method of teaching.I enjoyed his class very much because he offers EC and is a good teacher.I took it @ 7.30AM in the summer and it was very fun

do extra credit papers the books are interesting and it makes it easy to get an A most of the tests are easy and hes interesting to listen to and has good movies... easy easy to get a B a little harder to get a B but its not too bad always try for jeopardy.

I like this professor, there's no BS involved. You go to class take the notes on the board and study that for the test and you get an A. Interesting class and he has an interesting personality.

Awesome Teacher!! He really makes things interesting and is totally a 60's liberal. He's great and is very interesting. He will spend extra time with you if you don't understand, and offers extra credit(which is totally worth doing.) Mr. Blood, if you read this, your great, don't ever change your teaching methods, I learned a lot from you.

this guy is a totlly cool teacher nd for all those people that think he treats his students like little kids are not true college students and should re-think their collegiate careers. Great class and even better teacher

Easy teacher, fun lectures, but study for tests and read cause they are hard. Class was fun but he has his favorites, for some reason he hated me and I was a good student. He only seemed to like me when he found out I got a "B" in there. And trust me, do at least one of the extra credit that he offers. It saved my grade.

Lectures are not too boring, though they tend to get off-topic or on a tangent sometimes. Test questions are more from the book than the lectures. Do the extra credit - you'll want it. He's funny (in kind of a crazy way), but he's nice and tells jokes. Does have favorites, but doesn't ignore the rest of the class.

Mr. Blood was awesome! I had 2 classes with him & enjoyed both very thoroughly. I'm glad to see him teaching more classes these days. Hang cool, Mr. Blood!

Prof. Blood is an awesome teacher. It's an interesting class but it's not easy. He's a fair teacher and sticks to what the syllabus says. Read the text book thoroughly. I enjoyed this class even though I struggled. He gets you ready for the tougher classes in the future.

AMAZING teacher-- keeps things interesting. We were always laughing in his class. The kindred chart was difficult. I was upset that a person that didn't finish the kindred chart got a better grade, but I respect this teacher's discretion. He offers extra credit and I strongly suggest you take it :)

I agree with some posters about the laughter. I was in his class and always was laughing. He has such a great sense of humor. He was more than just a teacher to me, but a friend. I love Mr. Blood and plan to take a class with him again this summer. For all that dislike him on here, need to lighten up. He's one of the best teachers in Grossmont.

I don't know why everyone says not to take him! He has a funny sense of humor and he's very sarcastic, which I guess some people don't get. I thought his class was interesting. Definitely I enjoyed it. I learned a lot and hardly touched the textbook. His lectures were great! I reccomend taking his class, just do the xtra credit!

I agree people need to lighten up. I could see how you would get offended by him if you have no sense of humor! The bottom line is he is a great teacher and has interesting lectures. I thought he was funny and very knowledgeable. I learned so much from this class, definitely take it! Just show up to class and do the extra credit.

If you enjoy learning valuable knowledge from a brilliant professor then this is a Great class. okay okay,so he did one to many mind alternating substances during the woodstock era and he is a little disorganized but this professor wants you to succeed so take notes, listen to his random stories, do the extra credit...and have a sense of humor!

I chalk it up to taking good notes and studying for the tests. A little off topic sometimes, but other than he is a good teacher.

The subject is interesting and I recommend taking it through Professor Blood. He is extremely intelligent and can relate most context through personal experience. I suggest doing the extra credit, and attending all classes since most of his test is covered on his lectures.

I would recommend him, if you are a good student, note takers and studier. He is very interesting, but does get off topic every so often. Loves what he teachs.

I would recommend him if you are a good student, note taker, and studier. Pay attention and take goood notes. He is very interesting, but does get off topic every so often. Loves what he does.

I really enjoyed his class, never zoned out! He's really funny and really interesting - knows a lot about a lot - I'd definitely recommend taking his class. Attend the lectures and take good notes, the tests are practically 100% from the lectures.

Professor Blood made his passion for his field a fun and entertaining class. But for all his joking around he did mean business, if you screwed around he wasn't there to help you (not deservingly) pass.

Sometimes it's hard to tell what he wants on the tests, but he is always willing to answer questions and help students out.

Very interesting speaker, funny, passionate about subject, good world view, open minded, hard tests, spiked my curiosity about physical anthropology

it was a pleasure having your class, it was fun

Despite being almost three hours long the class was entertaining and mostly kept my attention. Not many assignments were given which made it very hard to get an A if you drop the ball on any assignment. Challenging, interesting, and engaging.

Great job.

Very amusing and entertaining teacher. Topics he discusses in class tend to be controversial to some but they're not far from the truth. Work-wise, text reading and class discussions are 1/2 the time not in sync with each other. Your best bet to do well in class is to be present, take notes, and do extra credit (if you can). Grade: a hit or miss.

Great guy. Understanding. Interesting...must come to class..Overall a good guy and a good teacher and someone who truly cares

best professor I've had there, he's honest, funny, frank, and brilliant. Don't take this class if you're not prepared to attend, take notes, and study. The tests are tough and require you to actually think about what you learned, but he gives plenty of extra credit ops, and grades fairly easy on papers, and there will be more than one A!

Professor Blood is a wonderful person who truly cares about his students. Everyone who takes this class earns their grade 100 percent. There are two assignments and do them early and he will go over each of them with you to perfect them. Do the extra credit all of it. Put in the time and effort, you will enjoy the good grade.

I cannot stress how important it is to do the extra credit in this class. It can bump your grade up a grade and a half. I did 2 out of 3 of the ec and received a B, when I would have gotten a C. Blood is a very funny, interesting guy. However, he's a little hard to understand and goes off on tangents. Subject material is definitely interesting

He comes off as a hard ass, but it is really willing to go over the top for you if you really care about the class. I really enjoyed the class, he is more than fair. He actually kinda funny. I would take his class again, he is not a stuffed shirt and he's not a snob

AMAZING TEACHER. His class is taught from a book of notes he made, no boring textbook. straight forward & easy to understand. Keeps your attention the whole time. learning just feels like your listening to an interesting story. First class I've ever looked forward to. Learned a lot about life, Fascinating and favorite teacher. Easy A if you study.

Great teacher. Super helpful and makes the class fun. Hilarious guy with tons of cool stories. The class is easy if you study. Information is very straight forward so studying takes no time at all. Definitely take this class!

Loved his class. The material is black and white in front of you, just a matter of memorizing it for the test. Gives HUGE extra credit opportunities that can raise your grade insanely high. Such a cool guy

solid-A professor. stay on his good side, go to class, & be good at memorizing & you WILL get an A! he can be a bit weird but you really do learn to love it. he loves helping you out if you have questions. if you're lucky enough to get his class just GO every day and you CANT fail

Teaches DIRECTLY from the notebook that is the test, but this does not mean the class is easy. I received an A but it was well earned. As long as you intently study the material you will pass the class. Slacking off just isn't his thing and he will call you out on it. Basically, if you're a good student this is your class, just pay attention.

I work full time and go to school in the afternoons and had almost no issue learning the material. The book that he requires for the class is literally a study guide for the class that he wrote himself. You almost don't even need to take notes, just pay attention and be prepared for class and you'll get an A. **BRING 3x5 CARDS**

I work full time and had almost no issue passing this class. The book that he requires for the course (he also wrote) is literally a study guide for the class. You almost don't have to take notes. Just show up everyday, pay attention and be prepared. **BRING 3X5 CARDS**

Do the extra credit (worth points of overall grade) and follow the basic format for papers. Only 1 research paper due for the whole semester and only 2 pages (works cited included). Easy class

The tests in this class are tricky multiple choice questions which often does not show what you actually know, but rather how well you can decipher his question. Basically feels like you have to decode a puzzle first. Other than that great professer

He likes to put you on the spot. However, he's funny and interesting but not always correct . If you get offended easily, dont take him. As long as you read and remember stuff from his study guide you'll easily pass the tests. Paper is super easy. Show up to class! Do extra credit or you'll regret it.

I really liked professor blood, even though he has his own kind sense of humor he is defiantly a nice guy . As long as you study with 3x5 cards you should be able to pass the tests because his tests are based off the book he wrote (basically the study guide is the test) . And make sure to do the extra credit.

He's a great professor with a funny sense of humor, it was a privilege to be in his class this semester. Hes is very liberal in grading presentations, its pretty hard to get below a 4/5. Be ready to read the text and take notes during lectures. He puts about 200 questions on Canvas for each test and narrows it down to about 50 for the actual test.

It is not the hardest class. If you show up and do the reading you will pass very easily. The class itself and the lectures are not boring and are interactive so class goes by quickly as well.

If you can follow directions and have a good sense of humor, you will both enjoy the class and get a good grade. There are 4 tests for which he provides study guides, from which he takes ALL the test questions. There are presentations but he allows you to present however makes you feel most comfortable. I have anxiety but felt at ease in his class

Mr. Micheal Blood is a brilliant professor. His dedication to the class was obvious. Each class day was filled with a magnificent energy and a sense of excitement for what new section or topic would be discussed. Unfortunately my grade was not as high as it could have been, I found the class very enjoyable.

He is really nice and fun to talk to! The class wasnt hard at all and you get to learn about interesting things like monkeys and apes! I enjoyed the presentations a lot.

Amazing professor!! Just pay attention and do the work. You'll be able to pass with an easy A!!

Professor Blood is truly a kind and caring professor. Hes really nice when it comes to grading presentations. Just do the presentations and study for the tests and itll be an easy A. I turned in some stuff really late and still received a decent grade overall. Just talk to him about any concerns. Hes really lenient and understanding.

Professor Blood was a solid professor, every week he would be on zoom to help his students, even though this class was taught without using zoom. Just do the work and extra credit and you will pass with an A or B.

Great professor. Does not give tests based off a test bank. He really takes the time to write the tests and they are easy as long as you take notes and study. I was failing by the midterm but passed with nearly a B. Great teacher. Would highly recommend

One of my favorites professors. Such a great class I thought at first it was going to be tough but I actually enjoyed being in his class! You wont regret taking him.

Professor Blood is amazing! He is always available to email/call if you need any assistance whatsoever. He genuinely wants everyone to pass his class and is also very generous. I highly recommend!

Very little is expected of you, but that means you have to do well on the assignments you do! Only 4 modules. Each has a few chapters to read from the text book, one discussion, one presentation and one test. He provides a study guide and takes questions straight from study guide for the test. Pay attention to due dates! Easy A! Really nice guy! :)

Professor Blood's course might have been tough, but it was fantastically worth it in the end. As long as you show Professor Blood that you're trying and you care about the material, he is a wonderful professor that helps push you toward your goals. He's also incredibly motivational if you make an effort to reach out to him!

Never be afraid to call when you have questions, he'll be happy to help you the best he can.

He's a very polite and outgoing teacher. The course definitely isn't the easiest but if you pay attention, put some effort in and do the work then you'll do great! He genuinely wants all his students to pass so don't be afraid to contact him if you need help or have questions, he'll help you to the best of his ability!

Professor Blood teaches the course well. He strikes a good balance between learning directly from him and learning on your own. When having presentations, he gives adequate information to succeed. The course reading can be tough; however, the assignments aren't asking for too much. He's easy to contact whenever you need help.

He was super understanding of circumstances affecting my ability to turn things in on time for an accelerated online course, and without that I wouldn't have passed. Other than that, the class wasn't too difficult, lots of reading from a free online textbook & some supplemental material followed by a discussion and quiz.

Great overall teacher, its all just reading from the book, tests, and then discussions with your classmates. Would take again!

I have never once rated a professor, but I really felt the need to for this one. Professor Blood teaches the course well, and the way the whole thing is set up is easy and simple to follow. Even if you happen to fall behind due to unexpected circumstances, he is very understanding and willing to help as long as you do your part and show effort.

Professor Blood explains the material clearly and makes the class feel comfortable and supported. He is very patient, understanding, and always willing to help when you need it. His feedback is helpful, and he truly cares about his students. I enjoyed having him as my instructor.
