Really nice guy and very helpful. He teaches to the lowest level of comprehension in the room, so if you already understand the material and other people don't the class may be frustrating, but it's not his fault. Quizzes and tests are easy.
Dr. Hanson was very interesting he showed us visual material on the lectures he even showed us his photos when he was in madagascar he made learning the social structure and social interaction of our societies interesting.
Took a full online course. VERY helpful. It was her first time doing an online course, she said. Very easy class, only required once a week posting and the tests were all open-book with no time limit. Class was confusing, but that was because the material is. If you need help, she'll be there to help you. Recommended.
Great teacher who is clearly passionate about the subject. Very sensitive about cultural issues and knowledgeable about related current events to the subject. Treats class like a discussion rather than a lecture and encourages student participation as part of the learning process. Really cool guy as well, and highly recommend him.
Very passionate teacher, really took an interest in students individually. I really enjoyed going to class!
Great professor, very easy to get along with. makes the class very interesting with video clips of how different cultures live. Test are easy goes over review for test. It's up to you to study the review...
hes great, he doesn't just let us troll through the class with our eyes on the clock. He constantly engages us, always asking edgy questions to stimulate critical thought, presenting us hand in hand with new material and interesting perspectives and angles on that material. With intention, he paints the big picture in detail. His lectures
He really is a great teacher. You can tell how passionate he is about teching the topic. He tells wonderful stories, and loves to show his students real life topics. He does have daily quizes, but if you pay attention youll get an A. Hes funny too!
Dr.Hanson, is a great Professor if you need help with your Argumentative Essay or you are having problems with any of your studies. He gives the class number so that we can call him at home and he actually answers the phone. Wonderful Professor .. He cares about his students...
The best teacher I have had at Tri-C. Great personality and passionate about teaching. He uses the book for the foundation of the class, but adds his personal experience and some very funny stories. He is very patient, and does whatever he can to help you succeed. I highly recommend taking a class with him!
professor Hanson is a down to earth teacher. He's a must take!
Great professor. Always available for help. Fun teacher. Actully lived what he taught so its like real life learning.
He was mad cool. Its nice to have a teacher who actually did work in the field your studying. Super easy class and he was very nice and knowledgeable.
Hands down the best class and best proffesor during my years at Tri-C. Engaging subject matter, and Prof. Hanson just kkeps it real.
He is the best instructed I have ever had in my college year.He is very clear and straight forward.Very clear.I strongly recommend him for any student.He is a great proffessor with a lot of experince.He is very excellent in his teaching.Good job Professor Paul.
As long as you read the book and attend class you will have no problem. He is very passionate with his teaching. Very helpful. I have never looked forward to a class like I did with this one.
He was an excellent teacher. He helps you when you don't understand something and he answers all of your questions. He also breaks down the material really well. And he's really cool. I had a lot of fun in his class and plan to take his anthropology class next semester.
Sociology is amazing. Dr. Hanson is so helpful and treats you as an adult. We have group discussions about almost everything and makes sure everyone understands before continuing. I have never had a better teacher in my college career. He generally cares about your well-being and always has time to talk about success in your other classes.
awesome teacher, full of enthusiasm and experience, giving entertaining and thought provoking lectures
Awesome professor, had him for Soc 1010 and Anth 1010. I wish he taught more classes so I can have straight A's in college!
I love Mr. Hanson he makes sure that you understand the lesson of the day. He makes himself available to you to help you pass
He's a very cool professor and love what he teaches, I'm an ESL student and I was able to mange with his easy to follow instructions . Indeed I learned and enjoyed this class a lot.
Professor Hanson was an amazing instructor! He is truly dedicated, educated, and excited about teaching. He was very helpful, encouraging to all of his students and patient. He is a really laid back, but active professor. He made learning fun and understandable. I learned a great deal and would consider taking other courses that he teaches!
Dr. Hanson is extremely educated in the field of anthropology and shares his love of the field in the classroom.He draws on personal experiences to deliver the message of the text and is always willing to answer any and all questions -whether he has the answer or not,he always follows up.He is also so compassionate about his students!
Dr. Hanson is very dedicated to the field of Anthropology. He's easy to understand and keeps class entertaining. He likes to show a lot of videos to extend on what is in the book which makes learning the material much easier.
Great introduction to cultural anthropology. Dr. Hanson was very approachable and explained the concepts clearly. The textbook was accessible and easy to read and made key terms easy to find and utilize. A good course for anyone who needs a social sciences class or is curious about cultural anthropology!
Very good professor. Lots of interest stories, videos and articles. He made the class fun and informative. Everyone was very comfortable with asking questions and discussing what ever was on their mind. Interesting course. Once I realize what anthropology was, the study of cultures, I thought this course would be great for my field of study.
Professor Hanson has been fantastic as an engaging and considerate teacher. Very thorough with his students questions.
DR Hanson was very interesting, engaging professor, was willing to help with any questions we had. I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of information we received but in a good way. He told us exactly what was going to be on the quiz/test there is no guessing with him. Deff. recommend this class
Prof. Hanson was very knowledgable and presented material in a clear manageble way. He keeps class interesting by discussing and applying current issues while engaging students on an individual level. Very informative and helpful, i will definitely continue my Anthropology classes with Prof. Hanson.
Dr. Hanson is a consummate professor. His level of expertise is only transcended by his capacity to share it, transfer meaning, and ensure understanding. I learned more from this single class than I learned throughout my Master's program. It would be an honor to take another class under Dr. Hanson's direction. We need more instructors like him.
I had Prof. Hanson for Anthropology 1010, a course that I had no interest, but was different after we started the class. He is a very knowledgeable considerate and understanding teacher. Class was interesting with a variety of assignments. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to gain knowledge in Anthropology.
Excellent teacher and very knowledgeable in field. The class was always interesting and the professor was always able to get the students to engage in class participation. Wonderful instructor.
Dr. Hanson is a great teacher. He keeps the students engaged, is very informative and a little fun which (after being in school from 9am to 9pm) was needed to keep me awake. It was a really awesome class.
Dr. Hanson is a great guy. He is fair to his students and provides them with all the tools needed to be successful. He is passionate about teaching, flexible with his students, open, respectful, direct, and a wealth of knowledge. It was a great pleasure to have his class.
Great professor, would recomend this class for anyone!!!
Really nice teacher who was very passionate about what he taught. Always willing to help any student who was struggling and was very understanding.
He's really fun and excited about the course he teaches and he cares!
An interesting and informative presentation by Dr Hanson. The opportunity to discover and learn about societies and practices in other areas of the world through the eyes of an educator who liv ed and expeienced the lives of his subjects
Inspiring, friendly and caring. This guy will challenge your understanding of the subject no matter what level you are on.
Prof. Hanson is very passionate about his work and he is helpful as long as you make an effort and do the work!!!! I enjoyed his class thoroughly!
ALL AROUND GOOD GUY AND IS STRAIGHT FORWARD.
Dr. Hanson really cares about his student's ability to absorb the material, he is fair and humorous. I'd be interested in his Anth 2010.
This instructor is very clear and I enjoyed Anthropology a lot! He gives good feedback and you will learn a lot in this course. No one really knows about this course but he is there for you and is very helpful, especially since its online! DEFIANTLY STUDENTS SHOULD TAKE HIM, HE IS AWESOME!!!!
One of the best professor's I've had so far. His lectures are interesting, understandable and humorous. He gives chapter quizzes almost every class, but they are only a question or two long and as long as you read the first few pages of the chapter you should be good. Practically writes your term paper for you. Midterm and final are the only tests.
Cultural Anthropology is the study of different cultures. You learn about the values and beliefs of various cultures, and how people live and interact. Prof. Hanson has a laid back approach, and delivers on the well-informed education he has attained. He applies a variety of methods to enhance understanding, while keeping the class interesting!
He showed a side of the city you don't learn in text books. The class was very real and eye opening. He listens to all points of view. Only giving feedback that will enhance your learning style. He doesn't try to change your stance on the issues. I'm so glad I took the class. It's an easy A since he makes you want to learn.
Professor Hanson provides the framework with which to learn about the history of the City of Cleveland as well as how the urban framework. It is a great class. I lived some of the history I read about. I got a better understanding from taking Professor Hanson's online class. If you are smart, you would take his class also! You WILL need the books!
This class was a requirement for my graduation, but I was pleased by how much I enjoyed it. The reading material was interesting and engaging. Also, Paul is a great about helping students understand the material, and gives helpful feedback in a short amount of time. I would suggest this class to friends in the future!
Through out the classes he provided great feedback on work and class standings, he did pop quiz's just to see who read the material and the encourage reading the material , but over all its hard to elunderatand what's going on without the material. And he is also willing to work with you if you are going through any difficulties.
It's ok for an online class. He is very clear about he wants in a paper, an easy A, but very boring
Anthropology 1010 was specifically cultural anthropology. It's much different than people expect because anthropology doesn't necessarily mean archaeology.
Very great professor who cares about his students, I'd retake this course!
Amazing professor! I took one of his online classes and it was very enjoyable. He is a teacher who really cares about his students. if you ask him questions, he will respond with exactly what he wants of you. Even if your major isn't anthropology, I highly recommend taking a class with him because you will learn a lot that you apply to other areas.
This is CULTURAL anthropology. Dr. Hanson sticks to the syllabus and you know exactly what you have to read for the next class. There will be VERY brief pop quizzes to see if you read the chapter. 3 short essays assigned to strengthen writing skills. The only tests were the midterm and the final. He gives out a list of terms for midterm and final
Cultural anthropology is a great class to learn more about both yourself and other peoples. You question your standard of what is normal and become familiar with cultures that once seemed a thousand miles away. Dr. Hanson guides you to think and reflect without leaving you out to dry, and genuinely cares for his students. It's an excellent course.
Dr. Hanson is a great professor! His teaching style is pretty straight forward. He has a quiz every other day, so make sure you read the material before coming to class. YOU have to do 3 essays over what is taught in class. He also encourage you to be involve in class such as doing group work and getting to know his students because he cares.
Prof. Hanson is the best. I took his 8 weeks class and I did pretty good. No tests, quizzes, or HWs Just short disscusion paragraphs each week. very clear and flexible with assignments. no stress or headache, very chill class and professor. would definitely take again. by the way the book for this class is online for free so don't buy
Anthropology is such an obscure subject. I don't think anybody really knew what it was all about when they signed up for the class, but Dr Hanson really made it come to life. He talks about different people and cultures in a way that makes you really care about them, not just stats on a page. Very highly recommended.
He is a great teacher !!
Very informal, makes you think about things other than yourself.
Professor Hanson is very knowledgeable about Anthropology. He is very clear about what is expected with assignments/posts. He is very accessible and responds in a very time fashion. Paul Hanson is definitely the professor to take for Anthropology! Took online course.
He is a good person in general and knowledgable, has a n teaching method lets us work in groups to learn more about each topic in cultural anthropology. He shows us videos on how people in each place of the world live differently. He was trying to show us how the world works in the world of cultural anthropology and how we can improve our writing
I loved this Pr! One of my favorites for sure! He really cares about students and he is very friendly. He is very passionate on what he teaches and the class itself is very very interesting! It shows you how people live in other cultures, the problems they have, etc! I highly recommend this class and I am so sad they do not have the next ANTH class
I Love Dr. Hanson! He's very knowledgeable, caring, passionate and experienced, but super funny and laid back. My favorite class this semester so it sucks it's only once a week but we get enough out of that 1 day. Hes not a tough grader but not lax either so do your best & participate. Decent amount of reading. If you like learning take his class!
Good teacher be prepared to write papers. Gives lots of opportunity for you to have a good grades, with small quizzes.
Great guy. You'll learn a lot
Amazing professor who really dedicates time to help his students understand the topics. Most importantly, Dr. Hanson made me think differently.
Professor Hanson is a gift to Tri-C. He is an expert in his subject, and he is passionate about teaching. Cultural Anthropology is a great course, covering diverse topics from basic Econ to Gender Identity.
Overall this class is amazing. The main discussions in the class usually stem from the reading in the text book. On the other hand we also have a lot of fun open discussions. You will definitely learn new material every class. You will need to be prepared every class by reading the assigned chapter because he does give easy quizzes. 10/10 take this
This is my second class I am taking with Dr. Hanson and he is amazing. Fascinating topics, the class is based on in-class group work and presentations. He makes you write essays. The final is a research paper plus a presentation. Dr. Hanson is always willing to help you with writing and doesn't mind giving his own time to help his students!
Paul started teaching culture using a flat ontology and by describing how everything we know as society, culture, rules/norms are all based in actions. And one can truly link all aspects of culture by using his model
This class is so interesting and current, very eye opening, loved it. Would definitely take another one of his classes, great professor
He is a good professor he is not boring if your struggling he will work with you and provide extra credit for you
Loved Professor Hanson so much that I had to seek him out for AC202. Our lesson content was solid. He was very responsive and helpful when you were struggling to understand a concept! PIck Mr. Hanson! He is AMAZING!
The prof has organized the course in a logical manner and has distributed a detailed organization of the course at the first class. The course explains how anthropologists do their work as well as the main areas of anthropological studies. Thought provoking issues are discussed in class. The prof attempts to help students transition from HS to col
Love him, he's the best teacher I had this semester. Anthropology 1010 Take it you'll love it! Just follow the syllabus!
I think Professor Hanson is a really good guy. He did give us a lot of papers but it was nothing hard at all. I would have him as a teacher again in a heartbeat. He was really nice and he cared about our grades and he worked with us. His exams were all so easy, but the quiz were iffy.
I thought this Professor was really in-depth with his lessons and lectures. I would recommend this Professor and I give him a ten out of ten.
Has a lot of knowledge and legitimately is in the teaching business because he wants to help people learn. Good guy and good teacher, would definitely take again.
Cultural Anthropology was my favorite class because of professor Hanson. He is an incredible educator whos passionate about his job and what he teaches. He cares about his students success. He teaches CULTURAL anthropology not archaeology; completely different things. I was unsure about the class when I first enrolled in it but Im so glad I did!
Best professor I've ever had.
