He definitely makes class worth attending! I've learned a great deal from him.

He is entertaining, and the class is interesting, but the tests are a bit hard.

Amazing that he kept a 350 person letcture packed every class. Great Guy :)

This professor is awesome. Take any course you can with him!

A little sketchy, but the class is entertaining-

Great teacher, really cares about his students.

Enough about his ex wife

I've had him for several classes. Although he was tough, he was fair, and I enjoyed his stories!

might as well be called "professor roscoe takes a vacation"

I thought it was a little boring because anthropology really isnt my thing, but it is an interesting class and he's a good teacher and has great stories, and even does a little stip show on the last day of class...

he's very funny and a very nice guy, however his class can be boring if you aren't into anthropology. this class is a lot of reading and you have to do it all to do well on the tests

Good Teacher knows his stuff tests are a little hard to me anyway. Its a little boring at times but still a fun class to take and if you get a chance take it.

He is a great teacher. I decided to double major in anthropology because of his class. There is a lot of reading involved, but he is extremely fair. It is a class well worth taking!

Funny guy! I definitely reccomend taking his class! He's got a great personality and his sarcasm helps lighten the subject content.

Great guy. Very funny and intelligent. Tells great stories in class. Covers important material, making it worthwile to go to class.

Class was always a blast, really made learning fun. Especially the last class where he demonstrated how clothes make the man ^_~

Great Professor! Knows his stuff. Will admit if doesn't know answer. Very funny. Last class is a riot! Pretty fair on test grading.

Awesome class. Great sense of humor and makes the most boring material fun. Last class definitely makes the entire class worth it. Tests can be a little difficult even if you do the readings, but fair on grading. Quite a bit of reading too.

Professor Roscoe made class really fun and said so many stupid quotes that I began to write them in my notes. . . and they actually helped me remember what he'd been talking about! Plus, he stripped for us (he had clothes on underneath, but still). He r

Great professor! Lots of reading, tests sometimes difficult but he's really fair. Added 10 points to my first two tests! Really cares that students are understanding. Definately recommend!

Wonderful class! Anyone who did poorly on his tests just did not study or come to class. He was more than fair - 20 pts added to the final. I learned so much from this class. He made the material very interesting

Great teacher. Classes can be rough to sit through sometimes, but they're mostly worth going to, the review sessions help a lot too. Jim is really nice and he has an awesome curve on tests. If you do the reading you will do well on the tests.

Jim is the best! I found him extremely helpful, caring and honestly concerned about his students..and he isn't afraid to 'get dirty' in order to prove a point.

Good teacher, grading harsh, very funny british humor. Got a D+ in his class, did all the reading, spent hours studying, but tests were very tough.... All in all, I'd love to have him again. Sign up for his class now!!

One of the very few University of Maine professors who doesn't have a chip on his shoulder or a mental problem. I like him a lot, smart man, intellegent, funny, and yet serious, different from Maine professors (though he's British and not from Maine that would explain why). Why did he choose Maine?

Funny. Smart. Entertaining. And lots of test questions get thrown out. I would recommend his class even if you aren't interested in anthro

Great guy. Hilarious. Always talkign about when he got ****... Very easy to pay attention in class. Just do the reading and go to class (which you will want to do) and you have got it made.

The professor is a riot. He has all these really fun stories. His is the best large lecture class I have ever attended. His British accent is sexy. If you do all the reading and pay attention in class, it is an easy grade. I got a B- with very little effort.

Everyones favorite teacher, but personally I fall asleep in the class. Maybe it is becuase it is my 3rd time doing it(only first time doing it for credit though). With that said, a little too much reading, but the reading is good.

Even though I thought the tests were very hard, this class was great. Roscoe is really funny and the class is very interesting. And he does add a lot of points to test scores so bad grades can end up looking quite a bit better.

Great professor, very interesting...you have to do the work do well in his class though.

Professor Roscoe is awesome. He is intelligent, funny and seems to genuinely care about his students and the material he is presenting. If you actually attend lectures (which are both interesting and amusing) and do the reading you will have no problem with the class.

brilliant, and a genuinely nice person.

Funny, charming, interesting teacher and facinating topic. I'd take it again!

The class was pretty interesting, and it was a bonus that he had a british accent. However, his exams are fairly crazy (although you're pretty much guaranteed ten bonus points added to every test due to errors on his part, so that helps). As long as you read and attend classes, passing the course is a piece of cake.

It was absolutley hilarious.. it was awsome

By far the best and most personable professor I've had. Made excellent examples that stuck in my head. Long as your actually do your work, you will pass fine. Even though i passed with a C, i thought it was far. Bought him a Cigar, since he deserved it.

really nice, makes things interesting, tends to ramble about really dumb things

BEST PROFESSOR IVE HAD.....every class was worth going to. He taught in stories which made it easy to remember. He was very funny and that accent is the best.Kind of reminded me of Paul McCartney. Plus he scaled his test over ten points each time so if you fail there is something extremely wrong with you.

So awesome! he was the reason i took the class- he's just as much fun as i hoped

I think the main reason students like his class is that he is very funny and entertaining. Can't say I learned very much from him "just read the text book and you'll learn all you need to know just from the book". Aside from teaching yourself he is funny and entertaining.

very good class - must read all the material and come to the classes. If you do that, you're golden. If not, it's your fault for not doing well.

Great professor, great class. I recommend it. Roscoe has the most dry funny humor of any professor. Difficult tests but read and attend lecture and youre good to go.

ANT of War and STATS in ANT are the best. Roscoe is GREAT

Although he can be funny/childish at times, one must be warned that he can switch quickly into being a jerk. Depending on his mood, he can come across as quite abrasive.
