Prof. Antes is very helpful, and makes the class very interesting. He makes the class not too diffult, and actually cares about his students passing. Study time is not exceedingly high--just do all the assignments and come to class. Recommended to anyone.

Scott Antes is a clown, but really knows the information. This semester, we didn't use our textbook because he didn't want people to buy it, but I'm pretty sure that was just a one time thing. He'll let you know if you need it. Always gives extra credit questions on the tests from his "Tasty Tidbits" . You have a 1 page paper due every week. Easy.

Very interesting. He has great experience and passion. He brings in his collection frequently. Attendance is taken, but it is not a terrible class to go to. Little homework and fun atmosphere.
