Pretty easy class. Test are soooo hard but he has a huge curve. Funny, clear with what he wants. Reminds me of Where's Waldo with his coffee mug and glasses. Overall hes a good teacher and its worth taking.

Awesome guy! Very helpful, clear, and interesting.

Tests are impossible, but classes are entertaining.

tall funny nerdy guy. good class. explains stuff well and isnt' too hard

good professor, teaches you things, forward thinking...the dad from calvin and hobbs.

he is soooo cute. the weird psychological concepts he brings up are kinda cool. barely any work. good teacher.

Nice guy. The class is easy to understand and hardly any work. Take this class!

Nice guy, really cute in a nerdy way. Not very much work, tests somewhat difficult.

He doesn't teach off a book, so you either need a buddy in his class or simply don't miss a day. Tests are very hard and when you want help, he doesn't seem to know what to do but get a tutor.

Really nice guy...such a nerd but in a cute way. make sure you actually read the books he assigns because they will help a lot.

nice guy. you don't really have to read the books, as long as you know the general plot, you're fine. You watch a lot of movies.

he's so adorable. go to class, it's definitely enjoyable. read the books and you'll do fine.

Take him. He got me interested in a subject for which I had no interest. His lectures are pretty interesting, he has a sense of humor and his tests are fair.

GREAT PROFESSOR,, FUNNY BUT STILL A NERD. TAKE HIM YOU CANT GO WRONG.

He is the biggest nerd, and I didn't like his class at all. They are so boring and it feels like high school when we have to do stupid busy work assignments. You have to go to class to understand everything. Tests are somewhat hard. He's an okay teacher, but VERY NERDY!!

he's a nice guy, but it's just a boring class and hard to pay attention. the assigned books are pretty boring, too. but if u have to take the class, he's nice and willing to help u.

Dr. Collins is a very intelligent man. He is very passionate about anthropology. As long as you take notes and do the reading you will be fine. He comes off as intimidating and hard but in the end is very fair. Take him if you can. He has the cutest laugh! :)

nice guy, good teacher. 2 inclass assignments that are book reports or fun things. 2 major papers and field research required. final exam, no midterm. show up, take notes, you'll understand. books arent terribly boring. he's a great guy, very willing to help if you need it. take this class with him.

The coolest nerd I've ever seen. Seriously, this guy is a very good teacher and imparts alot of information. I wish he'd stop writing on the board and use some tech. in the class. Very aproachable and tells you upfront what is expected. We need more like him.

great teacher. class is medium difficulty. 2 in-class assignments. 2 papers, 1 theory, 1 on your research project, you pick the topic. i got by with an A- without doing much of the reading. easy going guy. if you need help ask.

such a nice guy. material can be a bit tough, but it all works out. alot of grade comes from in class work-theres a final., a mid-term, and a proposal. dr.collins is the cutest and makes the best dry jokes. its a fun "off the cuff type" class

In the beginning, this class seemed impossible but Mr. Collins really helps out! Hard tests but he grades on a curve. Read the books and participate in class discussions. He is the cutest and sweetest man and has a lot of passion for what he does. I never thought I'd say that I actually reccomend this class!

Awesome guy.. even stupid ppl in the class did decent... i studied a good bit and still only did a little better than others in the class.. easy! funny guy

this class was easy..prof. collins is a very nice guy but the class was a little boring. you watch three movies and do a couple of homeworks that he collects..if you want to take anth 207 definitely take him. although class is boring he's easy to understand and tries to explain things to you..he does tell corny jokes but they're so corny they funny

Very nice man. A professor who has a genuine interest in the opinions of his students, and willing to be flexible and helpful. That being said, I found his lectures to be really scattered about and kind of confusing. Wish he had used powerpoints or something instead of just writing on the board. But overall a good experience!

Love love love him. He's dorky and cute. And that laugh! my gosh, it was hilarious. I recommend him.

Great Teacher and a wonderful person who takes time in trying to make you understand, just ask, some papers and a ending project but nothing that you couldn't do

To all of you who think he's boring and gives out way to much work. YOU'RE STUPID and should not be in college! Grow up! Hes really hard but helpful and hes super intelligent and passionate about his work! He's an amazing professor. I highly recommend him to people that aren't trying to be mass comp majors!!!

Great class. A lot of people had no idea what the class was about; if you put in a little effort it is one of the most interesting anth classes. Dr. Collins is such a nice guy he really tires to help a lot. He has a great since of humor and tries to make the class fun.

I have taken Professor Collins for several courses and he is wonderful. Incredibly passionate and intelligent. It can be easy to lose the thread of what he is talking about because the guy is a genius and can connect everything and talk about anything with complexity. Be willing to be challenged and just talk to him if you ever have an issue!

Really nice guy. Simple 10ish page final paper (he's not picky about length) that is just summarizing 6 projects done throughout the semester. The projects were really easy as well. Takes all of an hour to complete. The final was based off of 3 ethnographies we were supposed to read. SUPER easy even if you didn't read all of them.

Really nice, albeit awkward, guy. His lectures can get boring at times but he did a good job explaining concepts. He's definitely a nerdy academic guy and he cares about what he teaches, and will go over things again until you understand. Even if class wasn't exciting, I enjoyed learning about this and now I'm a SOCI/ANTH major!

Knowledgable teacher but lecture heavy. Talks a lot about topics that don't have anything to do with the class itself. Low-key funny. Gives extra credit opportunities. Not too much homework. Not a hard class at all.

Lots of reading, tests are so easy if you pay attention and study. He is a super nice guy but the lectures can be off topic and hard to follow. Not many homework assignments, the ones we did have were easy and he offered lots of extra credit.

He's a really nice dude. Would definitely take his class again!

He's a great guy! You just have to make sure you listen to his lectures and takes notes on examples and definitions. He makes it very interesting and he is enthusiastic about his class. Makes it fun to participate and listen.

He is an amazing teacher I'm not sure why he doesn't have a 5. I enjoyed his class it wasn't hard he is extremely reasonable.

He is my all time favorite professor. He's extremely caring and willing to explain class material until you understand. It's a very interactive class and so much fun. He's also hilarious. Office hours are very flexible. He's very approachable and will not make you feel dumb. Highly recommend.

Attendance isn't mandatory but is in order to do well on the assignments, especially the midterm and final. A lot of the grade is based off of the things and examples that are discussed in class, not just vocabulary and definitions. He sometimes is confusing when teaching but overall really nice and also offers a lot of extra credit opportunities!

Prof. Collins is such a great guy but I found his lectures a bit boring; I rarely paid attention and only took notes on his powerpoints which worked against me when it came t the midterm and the final. Take notes on what he says, rather than the slides and make sure to note examples. He also has 2 ethnographic assignments to help your grade.

Great teacher, lectures are boring however don't forget to write everything he says including examples because that's what on the midterm and final. Midterm was very easy, notes aren't too heavy. Its just a manner of staying awake during the lectures. The professor tries to throw in a few jokes and his class is perfect.

Professor Collins is my all time favorite professor. He is such a genuine person who loves to smile and have fun. His lectures are very boing but he does his best to make them entertaining. He really cares about his students and wants you to succeed.

Class overall is great, 5 home works, two assignments, a midterm and a final. Easy A if you write down all the examples from lecture because that is what is on exams. He wants you to read two books but ou don't really have to as they are discussed in class. Gives extra credit which are worth 5pts each that you can put towards your grade.

I took his class during the coronavirus and he did an amazing job! he was personable and caring. he allowed me to resubmit and assignment i didnt do well on and overall an easy, laid back person. i learned a lot in his class and he made sure to ask us questions/listen to our stories

Collins is a great professor, his lectures are actually entertaining compared to other teachers and you can tell he cares about his students. Each week there are lectures, video and reading pertaining to graded discussions that have to be turned in before class. Lots of work, but the tests are fairly easy. (I got a 91 on the midterm)

I personally loved Prof. Collins. There are textbooks (the water book is honestly good) But they're mostly unnecessary barring a few test questions, and they're available online as of 2024. He's goofy and encourages class participation, and it's received well in my class. The midterm and final are both take-home, online tests. I find him endearing.

My favorite prof at Towson. Cannot recommend him enough if you're an active, eager student. He is knowledgeable and helpful about almost anything you can come up with. Truly a class act.

He never checked who came to class but his slides are not detailed so if you miss class you wont find the info later online when you go to review. Textbook and required reading book were both free online. SUPER EASY weekly in-class quiz, 5 simple assignments, and a final which he told us exactly what would be on it. Just show up and you'll be fine.
