Will do anything to make sure everyone passes his class!! Deff a cool professor.
Yeah, he wants everyone to learn something and pass:) His classes are just relaxed and easy to get through.
This Professor is so nice and easy. He is really easy going and cool.
Really awesome teacher. Very relaxed classroom atmosphere and interesting class. Recommend him if you want to do good with little effort and learn some interesting things.
Really Good Teacher! Relaxed environment, cultural and phys anthro classes easy.. quizzes/tests easy. He is willing to help you. Easy class to pass if you just listen. I recommend Prof.Siebert for any anthro class.
very easy professor.
He's easy... with a relaxed classroom. He lectures, but shows interest in his lectures which makes him that much more interesting. He knows what hes talking about which always helps.
best professor ever, very repsectful and easy and nice...loved him
He is a very pumped up teacher, who is willing to help students that are capable to learn in his class. Throughout my stay in his class, i am pretty amazed to tell others about my experiences in the class. He is pretty tactful with his teaching ways.
he is a good professor. he is helpful and easy to talk to. the exams are fairly straight forward.if you take his class you will enjoy it.
he's nice...and he makes the material really interesting especially coz its hard to stay awake in the morning...and funny too. i never thought i would be interested in the subject but i actually like it.
Really great teacher. Makes you want to come to class and listen. Very easy class and basically tells you what to study for the test/quizzes. Learned alot in this class, where I wouldn't think I'd be interested in it in the first place. Highly recommended.
Very good professor.Lectures are interesting. Tests are fair. His reviews before tests are very helpful. His class was a pleasure to take.
Loved Him! He loves what he does and it shows.. He is always around when u need him and his exams are easy.
He is an excellent teacher. He is willing to work with you. He is extremely helpful if you just ask for help. I would recommend him to any student that wants to take cultural and physical anthropology. If you listen in class you will definitely get an A.
Cool guy. Interesting lectures, loves the material, wants you to do well, knows a lot of random crap too. Hope he teaches more in the future.
he is good professor. I like his class. One of the better teachers I had at rutgers.
Horrible professor. Basically talks about his life while shoving his political agenda down everyone's throat and gets mad when opposition is raised. Learned little if anything in this course. Needs to talk less about personal matters and more on teaching the material. If you want to learn something, don't go with this professor.
He is the best professor I have ever had. He is very knowledgable and is will to work with his students, because he sincerely cares.
INTERESTING!! he's even willing to mock other primates to make the class more interesting. I've had three classes with him and there is NEVEr a dull moment.
Fantastic professor, Made the class very interesting. Forced thinking on level other professors never get out of students.
Great Professor! He explains everything (with some other sidetrips and stories..) but he knows the subject. Very considerate and understanding. He gives articles 2 read for extra credit. You would learn a lota new stuff too!!
easy grader; seems like a hard teacher the first day of class, but later on very very easy. an easy A!!!!
This prof is one of the best prof I have had thus far. I am a senior and he is helping with my last semester being stress free. He is easy going, fair and very candid about the topics discussed in class. He is also very knowledgable about the material. I strongly recommend him! Please do not take Ira Cohen Take this prof i u want to pass.

HE IS THE BEST!!! AN EASY A...TAKE HIS CLASS AND U WILL NOT REGRET....
He is the best teacher for anthropology. stress free class and just memorization for his exams...an Esay A for the course...take his classes as long as he is teaching..the best!!!!!!!!
Great Professor! I had him for 2 anthro classes already. He explains the lecture in a fun way for everyone to at least stay interested in the topic. His exams are mostly based on his notes. Just take good notes and you'll be fine. A lot of memorization especially those australopithecus stuff.. lol Easy A though.
he is great
I learned so much in this class. Prof Siebert is very knowledgeable and knows how to convey this complicated info with no confusion. You must attend his lectures to get a good grade b/c he derives all the exams from what he says in class. He knows the people who don't come to class (even though he doesn't take attendance).
Professor Siebert is awesome! I didnt even need the book for his class, just take notes and you will get an A. His papers for this class was easy, all he cares about is that you do them. He's has a great sense of humor and makes the class fun! Def take him! He's the BEST!
Please take this professor if you want an A...Great professor, he is funny and makes class interesting.
Please take this professor if you want an A...Great professor, he is funny and makes class interesting.
great professor...very knowledgeable about anthroplogy, makes the class very interesting. go class, take notes and its an easy A
seibert is the man... took winter '08 "cultural anthropology" you think its 4 hours of hell but its nothing like that with siebert ...time FLIEs and not like we stayed for 4 hours... take good notes/study for a few minutes take the exams and you will pass with a B+ or better!
OMG i ABSOLUTELY LOVE THiS GUY!! HE REALLY KNOWS HIS STUFF AND iS SOO iNTERESTiNG. i STiLL HAVE THE BOOK iF ANYONE WANTS iT. ATTENDANCE iS NOT MANDATORY BUT HE TESTS ON HiS LECTURES. i TOTALLY RECOMMEND HiM.
Really into his stuff...just go to class and listen to what he says and youll get an A with no studying. Boring at times but not so bad. Nice smart guy and easy A.
Although attendance is not mandatory.. you have to be mandatory about coming class because he is impossible to reach. Other than that, pretty cool classes, smart guy, very easy to succeed in class and learn plenty!
This guy is so fun and cool. Lecture is very interesting and I'm not even an anthro major. Just pay attention when he's lecturing.
he has a high knowledge on the subject of anthropology. he's very informative and entertaining. exams are mostly based on the lectures. just attend class and you will do fine. there's only a mid-term, paper and final. he is one of the best professors at ru.
This guy is another story. He's very forgetful, but is unique. Attendance is not mandatory, but you might as well go or else you'll be completly lost. If you need extra help, ask a neighbor because you'll never get in contact with him. He tries to help but only gave one extra credit assignment. If your lazy and can put small effort, take him
This guy is pretty awesome. Take notes and you don't need the book that much. Quiz help your grade, so even if you fail them it doesn't count against you. His class is really entertaining and you learn quite a bit. I'm taking him for cultural anthro
Very cool guy. Kept lectures interesting. deff. recommend. Take notes+listen on review day =A
Professor Siebert is really cool, funny, and passionate about what he says in class. He is not a hard grader. However, there is a lot of reading and writing in this class, so be prepared. If you do the assignments you'll get a good grade.Overall, great professor!!..=)
Great professor! Very easy. The lectures are interesting. It shouldn't be hard to do well if you pay attention and are interested in the subject. He's definitely a character, but in a good way!
AWESOME PROFESSOR!! SO EASY TO GET A GRADE IF YOU JUST GO TO CLASS. THE BOOK IS NOT REALLY NECESSARY B/C MOST OF THE TEST QUESTIONS COME FROM HIS NOTES. HES REALLY NICE AND HIS STORIES ARE PRETTY FUNNY TOO!! I HAD A GREAT TIME IN HIS CLASS, HE MADE IT FUN DESPITE BEING A 8:15 AM CLASS!
SUCH AN EASY PROF!!! If you are looking for an easy elective this is the man to take, he discusses everything you need to know, skims through the papers you write so you get an A and the exams are multiple choice usually the same questions from previous exams. TAKE HIM!!
Awesome professor! He kept the class really interesting and fun. You don't even need the book for the course. Only 2-3 papers and they're short. If you come to class, take notes and pay attention, you'll pass with flying colors
Very funny and nice professor. Material isn't too difficult though a lot of reading was required. Fair grading and not too much work, yet no joke. Nice guy and one of the better professors I've had, despite being rather unorganized.
He's really disorganized. However, he's easy (he gives helpful reviews before exams - just take down everything he says cuz it will be on the test and it is the most efficient lecture you'll attend before the exam) he has couple of papers which aren't really worth much. but overall easy professor
Siebs is a very nice guy but he's very disorganized and rambles a lot. He gives a few papers but his due dates are really loose. Exam is easy and he's happy to go over whatever you ask him. Don't take him for mornings unless you're good at staying awake. Easy A
Attendance is not Mandatory, gives review before exam, to pass you have to go to class, just about 3 papers. Only one midterm and the final. Exams are worded weirdly.
I do not recommend him. He was so disorganized and would kinda just forget to check in to class and would not give assignments until last minute.
EASY A take him if you need to fulfill a social science and you also need to boost your gpa.. do the work its easy because he basically gives you the answers if you ask him whats on the tests he will let you know exactly and does not sway from it
He lectures for the whole class but most of the time, they are interesting. He is a very nice guy. He wants you to get an A in his class. If you get a B or lower in an exam, he will let you answer the questions again for extra credit and in order to obtain an A. He's awesome!
Beware, his lecture are very long and boring. I had to sit up front most of the time so that I wouldn't get tempted to doze off. He will write important terms on the board. Write them all down and take good notes. If you did not do well on the first exam he will give you extra credit. I did not use the textbook and I got an A.
He's a good professor who is passionate about what he teaches and there is not much work, but reading assignments that aren't so bad. You would be a fool not to take him!!
The lectures were quite chill and pretty interesting. As for exams just memorize names, terms, ideas, and dates and you'll be fine. He was pretty lenient on the 3 papers and he's pretty chill fi you miss a deadline. Great gpa booster and pretty cool class.
He's one of the best profs I've had yet. Great GPA booster, and his lectures are super interesting. He writes down the most important info on the board, quizzes are easy. Super nice and very lenient. I'd take him again!
Had him for Social Protest and Revolution. Funny guy. Super cool. 4 homework assignments and 3 papers. Midterm was only 10 questions long and one quick quiz.
Had him for Social Protest and Revolution. Funny guy. Super cool. 4 homework assignments and 3 papers. Midterm was only 10 questions long and one quick quiz. His lectures are very intriguing and he makes sure you're eager to learn more about it.
If you need a gpa booster take him! If you show up to class and take notes you'll pass his class. There were 3 readings and you had to do a paper for each one. If you can't get the paper done in time he gives an extra couple days to submit. EXAMS ARE EASY! He tells you exactly what topics are on the quizzes and tests.
He doesnt know this but Im an anthro major because of him. It amazes me still that he can lecture and make it that intriguing that fun. I really love prof siebert! Plus hes such a kind soul. You ever look at a person and go this guy! This guy is awesome? Thats him!
Siebert is an awesome professor. His lectures are so enagaing and you will have fun in the class. His class is so easy to pass and he will tell you the exact questions on what is gonna be on the midterm and final. His online quizzes are easy and the papers assigned. He doesnt take attendance and gives a lot extra credit to bring your grade to an A
Great Professor. Super understanding and his lectures are hilarious. Just make sure to write his papers. His weekly quizzes are easy if you read.
Great professor! Would take it again!
Understanding. Allows you to make up missed assignments. really interesting topics. Awesome.
Took him for a summer course just take notes, it was a writing intensive course so he wanted a paper of 3 pages per week and some quizzes were given, he randomly does attendance. He was very funny, I will take him again in the fall. Oh and I got an A in his class.
Great guy, very insightful
Awesome professor and he is passionate about his job with makes class easy to understand. Online quizzes, 3 short papers easy.
Doctor Siebert is an amazing access to Rutgers Newark Unviersty. He cares about students and their ability of learning about sociology. Hes understanding when it comes to others situations. Also, wants students to think critically. His assignment are easy to understand and hes also a great grader when it comes to papers and assignments. Take him!
He is very chill & laid back. He likes conversation/participation. His class is an easy A, but an easy A that of course, you have to do the work for. While a book is used for his class, his lectures cover EVERYTHING that you need to know for the tests! The book helps with participation in class & the 2 papers that he assigned. TAKE HIM! #NoRegrets
SUPER CHILL DUDE. THE CLASS WAS FULLY ONLINE AND SUPER EASY. WEEKLY DISCUSSION BOARDS AND OCCASIONAL QUIZZES OR ESSAYS THAT WERE VERY EASY. HE POSTED ALL THE READINGS FOR US SO NO BOOK NEEDED. HE IS ALSO LENIENT WITH DEADLINES BUT HIS INITIAL DEADLINE IS ENOUGH TIME. I WOULDVE LOVED THE CLASS IN PERSON. DEF TAKE IF YOU NEED A GPA BOOSTER!
I would 100% recommend this class only taught in the winter I believe. Only 6 six assignments and 8 discussion boards. As long as you read the textbook its an easy A.
6 assignments that are 2-3 page papers. 8 discussion boards that have no word minimum. I gave in everything late and I still got an A in the class.
You would have to read in order to understand the material but it is an easy A. Not a lot of work. He loves discussions posts. He respond to everyone. For it to be an intensive writing class, the workload was light. Take him! You can't go wrong. He's funny, respectful and understanding. I took him twice, once for a summer class and once for winter
Honestly, one of the best Professors at Rutgers. Super understanding, organized, and gives great feedback every time. Read in order to pass; 3 papers, 7 discussion boards, 4 m/c quizzes, and 2 exams.
He's a really nice professor his class isn't difficult but he does get side tracked easily. I would sit in the front because he talks quietly sometimes, but he doesn't give that much work and if you attend the lectures and take notes you can pass easily
Took his course drugs and society, honestly one of the best Professors at Rutgers. Very organized and straightforward with the work. Exams are straight from the book.
Very organized professor. I took class to fulfil a writing intensive requirement and surprisingly, the class is very light. Just make sure you submit everything on time and you'll get a good grade!
Professor Siebert has very interesting lectures where he actually sits there and explains topics from his own knowledge rather than reading off of slides. He can talk for the entire lecture without having to refer to outside info, which makes his lectures interesting. Fair grader and assignments are easy to understand. Would take again.
He's a silly man. As long as you go to the lectures, you will know everything you need for papers, midterms, and finals. Decently interesting class and fair grader.
Pretty cool Professor. Assignments are pretty clear and he is pretty funny with his announcements. Overall a good professor with medium frequency on assignments. Stay on top of work and you'll be fine.
He is a fun teacher. He is unlike other teacher who will make a boring slideshow or boring lecture. His lectures actually taught you and kept you focused. He went over the materials for quizzes and tests. Just take good notes and you should be fine
He is a great professor,his voice kinda makes u sleepy,but his lectures are funny & interesting most of the time.He will tell u to buy the book as a course requirement,but this is my 3rd month with him as a professor & he has not prompted us to read a specific section or just the book overall.Everything u need 4 quizzes is taught during lecture
His exams were all online take home. He is pretty funny during lectures, and he does take paper attendance.
GREAT PROFESSOR! Very understanding and kind, and really wants us to like the topics being discussed. Overall assignments not hard at all. Quizzes are from the textbook and are very short. Great teacher!
Best professor I've ever had.
Don't take him
Attendance is tracked with a sign-in sheet. He doesn't mind if you leave but occasionally checks twice to catch ditchers. His study guides are excellent, and as long as you avoid using AI, scoring over 80% is likely. He's a great lecturer, and note-taking is crucial. With little homework, the midterm and final are more significant.
He's not a bad professor, but getting lost during his lectures is easy, so pay attention. Don't use AI for open responses or papers because he will know.
As long as u go to class u will be ok. He knows when u use AI for tests but honestly he says everything that will be on exams in class.
Make sure you are paying attention during lectures. He says everything that will be on the tests. READ THE ONLINE BOOK! Quizzes are based on the information from the chapters.
Amazing professor, so caring, very understanding and a very interesting class
