Lectures can be monotone, but overall a very interesting class

Boring class, boring information... But, it is not hard if you show up... Take it and get the gen ed credit

found the course really interesting. did well--i thought it was easy as long as you put in some effort and I would recommend it to anyone

NOT THAT BAD! He is a really, really boring lecturer. He talks slow, his voice is flat, and he never lets class out early. However overall he doesn't make the class too hard. Just attend class at least most of the time and take notes because your need class notes for the tests. Then you'll be fine.

The class is boring, but as long as you take notes and put in a little bit of effort outside of class, it's an easy grade. Overall, the tests are easy, and he is very easy on papers.

lets put it this way. i slept everyday in class and got a B. he's very boring. if you take him in 8 o'clock you will sleep. that's agaurantee.

If you listen you can make connections with the accurate knowlede that comes at you, in one direction, though monotous at times--so detailed. Focused on details, yet is flexible with paper topics and allowing student's own interest to prevail. Fair grader.

He's nice and gives very detailed lectures. A lot of note taking and the tests are hard-so study. If you like Anthropology take this class.

VERY Boring!! Quizes are hard, tests are okay, if you go to class and take his notes then you should be okay. just be prepaired to sleep the entire class, wouldnt recommend taking him at 8am!!!!

i thought he was a great teacher, sometimes lectures got a little boring, but always nice and willing to help. very passionate about what he teaches which makes it more enjoyable to learn.

Very clear, extremelly kowledgeable. Has lots of experience in the field and is a really interesting guy. he could have been a little more into the lectures, but if you like pre-history take this class.

Very nice professor but class was extrememly boring. I dreaded going to his lectures at 8am. However, the course the cut and dry. I never had to open the text book and all notes/study guides are online. Quizzes are 10 True/False extremely easy. Overall, a pretty easy, but really boring gen ed.

He's a very nice guy, very helpful, very fair and flexible. You'll learn a lot of interesting facts about Anthropology, ancient history, evolution, ancestors, etc.

i took his field school during the summer semester... it was such an amazing experience i highly recommend it!! not only did i learn a lot but i had fun while doing it!

He is a good teacher but the content of the course is tiresome. It is hard work to remember all the material. It is somewhat interesting but be prepared to study a lot. The book is never used in class but you are expected to read it.

I have taken every class that wall teaches at towson. He is awesome. Obviously if you are not interested in the topic you will not like the classes. Evrything you need to study is on BB, he tells you whats on the exam and he is pretty funny once you get to know him. One of the best teachers at Towson. Take his classes!!!

a boring class but thats just because of the material. extremely hard, you have to study your ass off just to get a B on the exam. Only two exams so take them seriously unlike what i did aka why i got a C. but he is a really interesting professor and you can tell he really likes what he teaches about which is more than u can say for most teachers.

I'd recommend having an interest in the topic before signing up. I'm a biology major and thought the course was interesting. Yes, the material can be dry, but it's not hard at all. Just study what he says and you'll be fine. I ended up with an A in the class.

This class was extremely boring because of the long lectures and powerpoints that seemed to never end. However, the professor is very helpful in explaining and tells you exactly what will be on the exam (no surprises). Also, he is very knowledgeable about this subject which helps.

Nobody ever said he was an exciting lecturer, but he actually wrote the textbook, so read it before class and lectures are much easier. The book really is outstanding- short,clear, informative chapters. Reading ahead, and read often, and you're sure to do really well.

He is a very nice teacher. His exams are quite difficult, but if you need help just ask. His office hours are accessible and he is understanding. Just come to class and complete the homework and you will do fine

Yeah... sometimes he's a little boring in lecture. But he knows his stuff and will answer questions if you ask/email/whatever. Fair grader. One of the few (like 3/50) instructors I want to take class with again.

Real nice guy, but class is always boring. Lectures are the same every single day. If you are really interested in Anthro i would take this class though. Wall lectures every single class and its boring but he will help you out and answer any questions you have. Go to class, do the homework and study a bit, and you have yourself a good grade.

Wall's lectures are boring, yes, as he talks in a monotone and it can be sleep inducing at times, but he really knows what he's talking about. He wrote the text book and lectures are just a repeat of the reading, so if you go to class you won't have to read. Very helpful and understanding, and enjoys when students take an interest in the subject.

Everyone says he sounds disinterested but really, thats just how he teaches. Do you expect him to scream and wave his hands in the air to get you interested? He's very clear on what he teaches and gives a study review/guide. READ THE BOOK BEFORE THE TEST. I got a B in the class and the secret is to read the book and have common sense.

Amazing professional in his field! This guy knows his stuff. I studied my a** off for this class and got out with an A. Study hard and complete the extra credit discussions. Lectures are very monotone and have a lot of info to take in at once- I just would come to class and do homework during the lecture and self teach later. Very helpful prof.

Class is pretty boring, the information isnt the most exciting either. Tests are really tough, but he gives extra credit which can boost your grade one letter grade. I was able to get a B with the extra credit and was extremely grateful. He is extremely intelligent, he wrote the textbook.

He is such a nice and helpful teacher, but the class is hard. There is so much information and its hard to pay attention because he is monotone and the information is very dull. Tests are very straight forward, but you NEED to study. There are many extra credit opportunities which can really help your grade, don't take this class if you want an A.

He's a nice guy, but the tests are hard. Sometimes he curves the exams, depending on how well people do. You definitely do have to study. Lots of opportunity for extra credit, which can bump your grade a whole letter grade. 3 exams including the final, and a few homework assignments. It's pretty straight forward and he's helpful and approachable.

Dr. Wall is a great professor! He wont try to entertain you (as some teachers do) or spoon feed you information, but if your actually really interested in physical anthropology he will help you. Very knowledgable professor in the field, and his lectures are very informative.

Good professor. Interesting lectures, straightforward and clear guidelines for assignments and tests, and multiple extra credit opportunities available.

He wants all his students to pass but, the material is a lot and very confusing. He gives a good amount of extra credit which Im sure a lot of students will need. He knows what hes talking about but his lectures are so boring its hard to pay attention.

Dr. Wall is one of the most caring professors in the anthropology department. Yes, he is monotone. Yes, he does lecture. I read the reviews on here before taking his class & I decided if I were to pass, I need to get to know him. He does look intimidating, but he's just really quiet and introverted. He'll 100% listen to your concerns and help you

Professor Wall is super knowledgable but lectures are kinda boring. This class felt more like a history class than a science, so if you're into that sort of thing this is the class for you. Very few assignments, the hw is so easy and is worth lots of points. If you don't do great on tests it'll be fine because the hw will balance it out.

Hes really knowledgeable and if you choose to be interested in the subject matter youll enjoy the class. Hes very understanding if you explain why you miss class and doesnt count it against you. Offers extra credit and is very clear about due dates and always does test reviews.

Dr. Wall is a solid professor. He is very lecture heavy and can get a little boring, but he knows his stuff. There are only 4 grades in the class, 3 exams, and 1 total hw category, but there are ample opportunities for extra credit, up to 10% this semester. Textbook isn't mandatory, attendance isn't mandatory but you should still go to class.

I loved this class, the lectures were very interesting! The class has 3 multiple-choice tests, as long as you pay attention in class and do some studying you will do fine. He took attendance in every class but basically just said as long as you don't miss too much you will earn full points for attendance.

This dude was superrr chill. I turned in my homeworks really late and he still gave me 100%. The problem is he gives the most boring lectures on the planet. I had to swipe on my phone or go on my laptop just to stop from falling asleep. There's like 3 tests but tons of extra credit. I never studied really, just crammed, and gotta C.

Professor Wall taught clearly, the lectures where just very long. The only grades are the 5 homework's and 3 tests. However there where several extra credit opportunities and the he was very understanding. He taught very well and would always answer any questions you had. I enjoyed listening as sometimes we would get more hands on with lectures.

Dr. Wall is an amazing professor! Would absolutely recommend his class if you're taking a core or major requirement. His lectures are long, be ready to take lots of notes, but his classes are very informative and enjoyable, especially if you're interested in a deep dive on these topics. The tests are fair and he ensures you are prepared beforehand.

Dr. Wall is great professor, super chill. Every class is a lecture minus review days before tests, but the information is interesting especially if you like these topics. He always posts review for exams so you know what to study for and the course isn't cumulative. Tests are average, as long as you take 2-4 days to study you should be alright.

Fantastic professor! He's very passionate about his topics, it can be a difficult class if you don't find anthropology interesting. Very lecture heavy so pay attention! Kind and understanding, provides fun opportunities for extra credit, great class- will be looking for his classes again in the spring. Would recommend this professor!!

I took Anth 391 and Dr. Wall was a great professor!! Very lecture heavy, I can see how it gets to be a lot for some students- but if you're genuinely interested in Archaeology- take Dr Wall!!! Gives great instruction, really interesting history education, & he makes sure you're prepared for each exam while offering time to review. Great class!
