Retentive but nice, tells many stories relating experiences to the class.

inspires students and he's very funny

Honest, direct, definitely knows his stuff, a REAL published cultural anthropologist. Boyishly charming. Kind of person who'd make a good friend.

Very direct and easy to understand. However, his final is 40% of the grade. Final grade is made up of: 2 quizzes, 1 midterm, 4 1-page papers and the final. He takes attendance EVERY DAY. However, he creates major disruptions during test taking.

Very entertaining guy! LOVE the stories on his trip to the Carribean! :-)

He knows a lot about anthropology. He has entertaining stories about the island of St. Vincet. Attendance is very important; be on time everyday.

Funny guy. Gives you advice in the beginning of class. Take note of what he says.

Good Teacher, Good Guy, Good Stories...RECO for this guy....good class! Take it.

Good teacher with fieldwork. Explains clearly and understandable in an interesting fashion. A couple of short journals. Encourages studying in class which helps a lot for the exams. You will learn a lot about other cultures in the world.

Excellent teacher. Passionate, inspiring, hilarious, large breadth of knowledge; can humbly admit when he doesn't know something; sets very clear expectations; disciplined and expects the same from his students. Highly recommended!

He is a good teacher but can be tough. He is not always concise on answers, so you can sometimes be unsure of things, and the tests can have trick ?s. VERY anal about food in the classroom, even coffee on the morning of an 8AM Final!

he is one of the best teachers at SMC inspired e to be an Anthro major... CLASS RECO definitely!!!

Very nice guy and a good teacher. His class is easy if you do all the reading and the work. Its not much but it is an interesting class. Attendance and promptness are very important.

Good teacher who can inspire you about anthropology. It's well worth attending this class but his tests are more demanding (that's college). With some effort there should be no reason not to get a B.

He has lots of funny stories about his taxi cab driving days...ask him how he got his watch...LOL

An EXCELLENT teacher. The class was fascinating and he was very clear and helpful about letting us know what we needed to know which of course helps one to get good grades. My favorite class so far for sure. I highly recommend it.

He is very passionate about what he teaches and that rubs off on the students. All the class consists of are two quizes, four small essays, and two tests. Very easy if you read. Reading is a must. He is an excellent teacher.

Very hard final except that class was great..his jokes are hilarious about his cab days and the final is worth 40% of your grade so you better be careful. I recomend him but just be careful and dont fall in the loophole!! Overall good teacher.

this guy is great,he organizes his lectures very well,makes u laugh,very approachable prof, but keep on top of the reading and by the end of the course you'll realize that you have acquired so much knowledge..it's a class that u must take b4 leaving SMC

Zane is a very ogranized guy and loves to talk about the group he studied on the St. Vincent. He also has a good sense of humor. Class is not "easy A" but if you take good notes and read the book along with the book on your culture, you will do

Good teacher, but strange one-on-one- he was not willing to converse or engage students individually. Expect to learn many precise definitions.

Zane's class is an easy A, the only downside is that you will have to be able to sit through and tolerate his long,sometimes boring class.It is worth it to take, fills a GE requirement,and can only help your GPA.He is very fair.

boring lectures, tests are fair.

Funny guy (though he doesn't intend to be). Sometimes tells interesting stories. He writes terms on the board and all you have to do is memorize what they mean - this makes the class boring, but easy. Best way to describe this guy is "white."

the most interesting class I've ever had in my life. he has thousands of crazy stories about other cultures. he is very nice and he has ez tests

This class is fairly easy. Key points: All test are 95% from his lectures and less than 5% from textbook. Make a boring subject interesting.

He can be funny and keeps things interesting. Insists on you learning the terms, but that's why we're there! He's passionate about his subject and that makes it nice. A bit impersonal, so don't expect to make him your best buddy!

ST VINCENT!!!!!!!! OYE! Well...a good guy and fair...there is no reason you shouldn't get an A with a bit of effort...

his stories are crazy and SO INTERESTING. i loved just sitting in his class and hearing the crazy stories he would tell us. study your notes and dont bother with the book. I LOVED THIS CLASS AND THE TEACHER IS GREAT!

It seemed like an easy class but in the end hes an ****. Corny, boring, intelligent. Not coo to talk too. Relates a lot of**** to his year of field work with poor people who come back and forth to africa. I did like how you can discuss back and forth with him during class.

Quirky, a little dogmatic on the "rules" but has a good class. He loves his subject and being an anthropologist which makes the class enjoyable. A midterm and final as well as 2 quiz's. And 4 one page papers. Papers and quiz's are a breeze, midterm and final are more difficult, definately need to study... a lot... This is for an "A"

Overall the class is interesting, lost of funny stories...but when u get your grade its not that fun anymore.I did good on all the exams, got 9 out of 10 point on all quizzes, got all points on all papers, never missed a class and still got a B. When i contacted him via e-mail, he did not even bother to respond.

A great guy, if a little aloof outside of class. Quite simply, anyone who doesn't think his class, stories and lectures are interesting has ADD. Tests are fair. Be careful if you choose not to buy the book. Share books with those who have them, if you're the type who makes friends easily. I guessed all the book-related questions and still got an A.

Learn a lot, he loves what he does

YOu will come out of this class wanting to be an anrthro major. Don't pay attention to what anyone says, he's a blast and you'll learn tons. Worth the work.

i dont know what all the bad comments were about..this was one of the easiest classes iv ever taken..if you pay attention to his lectures ull get an A

i loved this course! fascinating material, zane is well-versed in his subject and likes to spread the enthusiasm. good notes more important than book material, though the book is worth reading if the topic interests you. i walked out wanting to be an anthro major!

If you can get in to his classes, do it. Even if you aren't an Anthro Major, he is a GREAT professor as far as teachers go. He loves what he does, he lives and breathes Anthro but makes it fun in our language but educates you and helps you appreciate it. On top of it all, he is a hottie.

Great professor, take good notes and show up to class and you'll have no problem bettting a good grade. Good stories and makes class fun and interesting, he is very passionate of his work and genuinly wants people to learn the stuff, great guy!!!!

A very knowledgable and skilled anthropologist. Too bad he doesn't grade exclusively on his writing assignments and questions from his lectures. But he will pull out just enough random questions from the text to force you to at least skim it. I didn't open up the textbook (not the case-study book) once and I missed the "A" by ten points!!><

Wonderful teacher. Clear clear and clear!! If you fail his class, your are just a horrible student who never comes to class. Only bad thing: He does not have office hours. His whole class is definitions!! how easy is that!!? Will keep you interested. It's like hearing someone tell stories. It is so your fault if you fail this class!

Zane is my favorite professor so far. He's a ton of fun to listen to in class. I don't like missing his class and his stories are interesting. Plus, we basically mainly just talk about sex.

Lectures are boring, but can be interesting if you like bad jokes. Take him if you like studying; he is not that bad overall. Quirky, but a sweet guy.

This class inspired me to become an anthropology major. Zane isn't very personable, but he's a genius with definitions. Usually under 2 sentences, the definitions explain entire cultural institutions. The class is taught from a feminist perspective, but because Zane's a man it seems more objective.

Easy class. Tests are based on definitions from his lectures, videos and on a small amount of reading from the text. He talks a lot, but his stories are somewhat entertaining. I would recommend him.

Fantastic teacher. a brilliant mind. how did s.m.c. get so lucky. this guy is way beyond junior college. i have nothing negative to say about this guy and i highly recommend him.

I just completed my 1st quarter at UCLA as a 3rd Year Anthro Major.When I was in Zane's Cultural Anthro class exactly 1 year ago, I had a blast. This because Zane is, well, Zany. The guy is so informative, and so funny.Better still, he knows how to conduct the course. His class isn't hard, and u will definitely walk away a little more empowered!

The class was VERY interesting. Although I sometimes found my self start to drift off during his lengthy stories. I still recommend him. Its all definitions and videos, and some reading. He is a real character!

Very interesting class. He's an interesting character; makes funny jokes. Lecture gets a little boring. Tests and quizes are mostly from lecture so take good notes and study definitions backwards and forwards for good grade. it's not hard but make sure to study!

Very knowledgeable. Take excellent notes because all exams and quizzes are from the notes, This guy is a wealth of information, however I am not certain of how helpful he is outside of classroom. i believe this is due to his being part-time and having limited office hours.

I think he's great, if you study hard enough, it's possible that everyone can get A!!!

Passionate about his teaching, very knowlegble. In the lecture if will take his time explaining what he enjoy but not so much of area he doesn't like. In the later case you won't get a full definition which is annoying when you get to the midterm and final. He will test you on the book and take notes will reading. He does tell good stories!

hes so nice! his jokes r dorky but in a cute way, the same goes for his personality. I just loved this prof, he made the class very interesting not just bc of the info in the course, but also his stories and their reenactments! Great guy, very easy. You do have 2b careful durin the case study reports bc he'll take off 10 pts for spelling mistakes!

Zane is an amazing teacher. I swear I've was never bored in his class. Gives great lectures. Best teacher I've had yet.

This guy believes in attendance, so much that high exam grades won't save you. He docks points for being tardy, as though missing valuable information isn't damaging enough. Too few assignments doesn't allow students to make up for lost points on exams. Although the material is fascinating, Zane focuses on your standardized performance. Don't slip.

Very intelligent and humorous. A lot of things to remember for the exams. case studies R easy just B sure to check them before turning them in he takes points off grammatical errors. Overall study everyday so you'll b able to memorize every single term and how it is used. great story teller about zombies and mad cow disease he might have it. LOL

Love him! Don't take the class if you don't want to show up for it! Duh! I mean really, why would you sign up for a class and expect to get an A for not participating? He's extremely fair with grades, and if you take him during a long semester, he has 2 quizzes and 4 written assignments in addition to tests, all of which are fairly straight-forward

He keeps everyone interested throughout the entire class and the entire semester. He gives very detailed, very interesting, very humorous examples of terms that would otherwise be boring so that students can have a better understanding. By far my favorite teacher!

Very knowledgeable, fascinating, great story-teller, helpful, dorky, charming, and extremely fair in his grading system. I will definately take one of his other courses. I cannot recommened Prof. Zane enough

Very helpful to students, professional, funny, great story teller (extremely entertaining), knowledgeable, attractive and has a fair grading system for all. Books assigned are used.

interesting material presented in an extremely interesting way! Best anecdotes ever, he's led a very cool life. I will share his stories forever. Class days are all very similar though, and beware of attendance! he takes it right at the beginning ( and takes awhile- ____-)

Nice guy. Fair teacher. Goes over the material very well. Takes roll every class session. Explains the information in a concise and organized way. Really wants the students to learn. Tests highly based on class notes. 2 exams. 1 Final. 2 books. Great class.

Zane is the best professor I've had so far. His stories and examples are fascinating, he's a nerdy but charming character, and he's even kind of sexy. He's also very well-organized. Make sure to keep up with the reading and ATTEND CLASS (that's where almost all of the midterm info comes from.) And don't be late because he starts right on the dot!

He's fair in his grading and very funny...how can you not love this guy? There are 2 midterms (worth 25% each) and a final worth 40%, so don't slack. Attendance/participation is 10%. Exams are curved. Take Zane, you'll learn so much! Plus, Zane laughs a lot and is always smiling which is wonderful :)

His stories are enough to keep you coming back for more. Always fascinating and leaves you with a plethora of knowledge. Don't eat or drink anything with a scent in his class. He'll freak out. Definitely a great class, a must take.

Hands down one of the best professors at this school. He's extremely clear and the lectures are fascinating and informative. He's led a truly incredible life and shares his experiences with us in a manner that is 100% relevant to the course. If you attend all classes, take good notes, and skim the Bowen book you'll definitely get an A. Take it!

He is a great professor!!!! His class and tests are quite hard (have to study lots) but his passion for anthro makes it easier!!!!! love his guy! At first he seems kinda odd but once the ice is broken he is hilarious

nice guy, good professor. The main issue are his tests... he expects you to know everything and questions are tricky

Takes notes, read the book, read your notes. Funny teacher, good class. READ the books....seriously.

good prof, funny and simplify definitions pretty well, however his tests are tricky and final is cumulative on the notes, and theres some questions from the case study book and films shown in classes, not an easy A. if you do the readings on time and write everything down on class you might get a good grade. READ THE BOOKS!

Was super excited for this class & had high expectations 4it. Good class &entertaining w/all of Prof's hilarious stories and explantions but he sometimes gets on my nerves w/his mocking of supernatural&religion He doesnt believe init which makes this class just a little frustrating Semieasy tests must read book 4only 10/50 questions rest is lecture

Great professor. I really happy I took his class. He has PHD in anthropology and love to talk about his adventures, but it make material easy to understand. 3 exams multiple test, 80%-lectures, 20%-two books. And you have to read those book if you want to get an A. Tricky questions. But you really learn a lot. Highly recommended

Extremely clear and accurate professor. Only two midterms and one final no other written work besides reading and studying for the tests. He's a very intelligent professor and knows just about everything about Anthropology and other areas of study. Really cool guy.

He is my absolute favorite professor. I'm taking him again for anthro 22. He knows his stuff and he has great stories. What I love most is that I see he has passion for his subject and that's what matters most to me. Just pay attention, take notes, and read the books then you'l be good.

The best instructor I have ever had! He's very interesting and very animated! He writes down everything you need to know on the board and will repeat definitions as many times as students ask him to. If you don't do well then thats pure laziness. TAKE HIS CLASS!

Excellent Professor. He presents the material in a no BS fashion. He writes the terms and concepts on the board, then gives you an exact definition. When later recalling information, it NEVER strays far from the definition he gave. If u memorize the lectures and read the book, you'll get an A.

Professor Zane is a good teacher with some quite hilarious stories. He is up front with what you need to know and the part that gets most students is the reading. 10 questions on every test are from the book and that is what brings down most students grades. There is a curve but if your like my class and do "very well" he will take the curve away!!

I love Zane's class He is so passionate and gives great anecdotes with his lecture His lectures are straightforward and easy to understand If the tests were only based on his lecture I would receive a 100% but there are at least 10 questions on 2 books that arent discussed in class I read the material but bc there is so much I will receive a B or C

Awesome teacher. Really easy if you take all notes and read the books assigned. Laugh at his jokes it helps...hes very open to questions, he grades on a curve. You only have to take midterms and final, no quiz or tests. Such an easy class and worth it. you learn a lot more than expected.

Great professor. He is hilarious and highly intelligent. He obviously loves what he does, and it shows. This class isn't an easy A, but it's definitely a great class. He makes a lot of jokes which keeps the class interesting. Overall i'd say he's one of the best professors at smc. Highly recommended!

Fantastic! He's so enthusiastic. Study and read the book and you should be fine. I chose Anthro as my major because of him.

This is a very interesting class. Zane gives great lectures; the guy is a good story teller. You'll need the book, but not in class. Read your lecture notes/text to prepare for the tests.

This is a very interesting class. Zane gives great lectures; the guy is a good story teller. You'll need the book, but not in class. Read your lecture notes/text to prepare for the tests. Two midterms, final exam, no paper or hw.

I love his class! Read the books, and study the notes and you should do fine. His lectures are important for you to understand it, so i suggest you should try not to miss his class.

Proffesor Zane is so boring. His class is just him lecturing. He gets annoyed if you asks questions. he does have an interetsing background with his studies in anthropology. Disscusses the techinical stuff and not much about culture and art.

Zane is awesome! This is the 2nd class I've taken with him. He has so many stories and is really funny. The material is really interesting too. You will definitely need the books though. He has 10 questions per test on it. I would highly recommend taking any of Zane's classes. Without him, I wouldn't be an anthro major.

Not Bad. Loved the reading and the in class lectures were very informative, especially with all of his wonderful anecdotes. My only issue is that there is not a lot of class participation, this is only because we cover so much material into one day that it is essential to curtail our own diatribes. His are interesting enough.

Fairly easy class if you do all the reading and review the lectures. No papers or quizzes, just exams. Two exams and the final which is cumulative. They are mostly based on the lectures, so take good notes! He's very nice so raise your hand if you don't get something. Then there are a handful of questions from the books so keep a lookout.

Best professor EVER. I first took Anthro 14 with him&I was hooked! I needed to take Anthro 2 the following semester&even though other professors had room, I put myself on the wait list for his class. He is simple&straightforward. You take&study the notes,as well as read the the two books he assigns and you'll pass. ATTEND+STUDY NOTES + READ=A.

Clear, informative, passionate. One who can really be called "professor." His lectures are interesting and useful. Don't miss any class. You should be a good note taker. Make friends in class to compare notes. A lot to read (textbooks) and memorize. Tests will be very hard if you are not prepared. Two midterms and a final. Lots to learn about life.

Zane is an incredible teacher. He uses his own method of teaching which is very helpful. He is one of those teachers that truly knows everything about the subject. If you ask a question he will ALWAYS provide the class with the correct answer. This was very refreshing from the usual SMC professor who says, "Umm let me get back to you on that one".

Zane's teaching style is fantastic. Crystal clear and has an answer for every question. If anyone is into Psychedelics, Supernatural, or Spirituality, I highly suggest this class! In all honesty, this guy comes across as a genius. The tests are very difficult as he is very specific and leaves traps, but if you know the material you will do fine.

I can write so much about Zane. He's speaks very clearly, and repeats important info like three times so you know what to take notes on for sure. I took him in Summer '14, and I got a B because I didn't read the textbook like I should have. There are three exams, all contain 80% lecture Q's and 20% textbook Q's. Relatively easy A/B

Incredible teacher. Probably one of the best I've had at SMC so far. It's been a couple months since my Anthropology class ended and I can still remember information he taught. His lectures were always interesting and funny, and his personal experiences really helped show the real life application of the facts we were learning about.

Professor Zane is an extremely interesting person. His lectures are very straight forward as to what you need to know for the test, but he gives multiple examples for each term so you clearly remember them. The readings in the textbook and ethnography are necessary to push you to the A on the 2 midterms and 1 final. So funny, very good guy.

Great Professor. Very knowledgeable. Lectures are very interesting and funny. He is very helpful and can repeat concept over and over if you need him to. Take notes and read the books, and you will be fine. 2 midterms and 1 final.

Great professor and one of the most interesting class I ever took at SMC. very knowledgeable. Lectures are interesting and funny. He is there for you and can repeat concept over and over again if you need him to. A lot of experience in his filed and in teaching. No homework, just 2 midterms and 1 final.

I've had a lot of good professors at SMC but Zane is my absolute favorite. I took Anthro 2 and liked him so much that I took his religion class (even though I am not an Anthro major) just so I could hear more of his stories. His teaching style is straight forward and extremely effective. The things I learned will stay with me for a long time.

Professor Wallace really cares about what you learn. He uses as many useful teaching tactics as possible and clarifies what he wants you to know for the tests. Everyone on this site says this but DO THE READINGS for his tests if you want an A. He's a really chill guys and has a lot of stories. He's had a pretty cool career and is a good teacher.

I took this class over the summer and thought it was very straight forward and to the point. You go in, he lectures for the whole class period and writes down the important terms you need to know for the test. On your own, you read the assigned chapters for two different books and take the test. This process happened the whole summer (2 Mid, 1 Fin)

I loved taking his class. He is the only prof I've had where I didn't want class to end because he was in the middle of a really interesting story. He finds a way to weave terms and definitions into real-life situations and he really cares about his students and how they can learn best. Do the reading, take good notes, and you'll get an A

Concise, gives good examples/visual experiences. The lectures are informative, and not only teaches you about the course, but how it can be applied to your life - which is cool. Eccentric and definitely loves what he does! - No homework - Reading is required, but well worth it if you like learning - Tests based on lectures/notes. - LISTEN WELL

Professor Zane is extremely knowledgeable. His class was pure lecture, composed of mostly definitions (write and learn them!) and examples that relate to the definitions and told his experiences/stories now and then which were very interesting. 2 midterms and 1 final cumulative MC and short answer. Must read the books (chapters are long) and no hw

Highly enjoyed this class. It's not easy, you need to show up, take good notes, and study hard; but if you work hard you will do well. The lectures are fascinating, and he always has interesting stories to tell.

Professor Zane is one of those instructors that clearly knows what he's talking about and seems to love what he does. Not only does he give you textbook definitions of the things you'll need to know, he also gives TONS of amazing stories and examples from cultures all over the world (some of which are first hand experience!) Definitely recommended!

Great lectures! Bit of a dork but in the best way, laughs at his own jokes. He's extremely interesting and intelligent, really knows his field. However, he grades on 2 midterms and final, which could be very good or very bad. You have to read the 2 books he assigns because he makes part of the tests using them. So reading & studying is the only HW

This professor is very knowledgable about Anthropology. He ONLY lectures so if you are a visual or hands on learner, you have be warned. Only 3 tests in the entire class but they are weighted very heavily. He goes off on tangents sometimes, but they are related to the topic in some way. His stories are quite interesting. Just be ready to read A LOT

A real dad of a professor. Zane is absolutely wonderful; he knows so much about anthro and it shows through in his lectures, which are amazing because he throws in cool stories every class. GREAT jokes; makes us all laugh. Takes attendance right when class starts. Don't be late. Don't take this class if you're bored by pure-lecture and no visuals.

Extremely interesting and experienced person, you'll remember his stories. I am biased towards his style of teaching- which basically means he's talking directly to the class the entire time and presenting a concept-based lecture by rote memory. Kind of pointless to grade the course the way he does, through three exams- which are mind numbing.

Professor Zane is your typical quirky Anthropology professor. Very smart so you can learn a lot from him. Will always repeat something you didnt fully catch. Talks a lot about his field work but thats what Anthropology professors are supposed to do. Grade consists of a few tests and cumulative final. Lectures completely from memory.

Really enjoyed the style and format of the instruction. No nonsense, straightforward, and treated students as adults.

Prof Zane is amazing! Although, he wasn't for me. Your grade in the course relies heavily on 3 exams which are reflective of the readings you read OUTSIDE of class & the terms you learn in class. If you learn better in auditory settings I definitely recommend him! If your like me and have testing anxiety, maybe try a different course:)

Professor Zane is very passionate about his job! An inspiration to me, majoring in anthropology. A lot of reading, study, and his lectures are interesting I just wish there was some visual pictures included to better describe some cultures. I loved his class and its an easy A if you do all the readings & study!

I took his class twice because I didn't pass the first time. He was a great professor who is caring about his students and passionate about the subject His teaching style is a little hard barely referenced the textbook and was very lecture heavy but all he does is write down a few things on the board Show up pay attention to lectures record em!!

tests are from the textbook and lecture, sometimes he does not lecture on the textbook material; you have to study it on your own terms, grade is on three exams and attendance, zane shares stories from his personal experiences in the field as well as examples from other anthropologists, is very knowledgeable about the subject, answers questions

Really fun lectures, the way he ties his research into topic in class. Reading is mandatory if you plan on getting an A in the class. He grades off of a few tests so make sure to study! The tests are mostly based off the lectures but still read the textbooks if you want to get an A.

The class is graded by a few exams which are mostly lecture based but a good chunk of it is based on the books (so read if you want to get an A). Make sure to take good notes and ask questions. He doesn't use slides but instead uses anthro terms as his lecture guides. Can be hard to hear sometimes since he trails off but overall hes a good choice!

Dr. Zane is one of my favorite professors I've ever had. I find myself enthralled by his stories and it makes a three hour night class feel enjoyable, and it's something I look forward to. I also look forward to taking Anthro 22, Magic, Religion and Witchcraft, next semester. Dr. Zane is an incredible choice and you won't be disappointed.

I really enjoyed this class. I took Anthro2 as a high school senior 2 years ago. One of the most rewarding experiences of my academic career! I am now studying at a top uni in the UK, and I can say that Wallace Zane is one of the strongest professors I have ever sat for. His academic work and lecture topics are incredibly enriching and succinct.

He's a good teacher. I wouldn't recommend him if you aren't good with lecture heavy classes. If you do take him, take lots of notes. The whole grade is based on 3 exams. Make sure to read and study the books assigned or you'll miss answers on the tests.

I love Professor Zane, he is one of my favorite profs I've had so far! His lectures can feel long, but he has very interesting stories about his research and if you are a dork, he is as well. However, he only grades on the exams and attendance so you really have to study :( I took thorough notes and paid attention and still got a B.

This was my introduction to Anthropology and I've been fascinated by the subject ever since. I learned so much in this class. It is a hard class, be prepared to take notes and study hard. If you love the subject and are good with lectures, you will love this class. It is lecture and test based only.

Graded on 3 tests. 0 homework If you do well on tests this is the class for you. He is so interesting and quirky Take good notes and dont miss class He requires hand written notes and will not allow you to take photos of his lessons He is insanely knowledgeable I loved his classes I took 3 of them use flash cards, study often, and dont skip class

Professor Zane is a great guy with lots of really cool experiences that he adds to his lectures. He's not strict, and you only really need to memorize terms for his quizzes to pass.

really good teacher, I find it funny that the below comment says he talks too much about himself. He is a professor of anthropology with masterful insight in his studies, of course he will talk about his own experiences. would you rather just read textbook??? Tests arent bad, but STUDY. if you know the info, it takes seconds to answer a Q.

Despite his lack of presence in the course because we were just given mp3 for lectures, he sounds very knowledgeable, humorous, and soft-spoken in his lectures. The course is easily one of the most interesting courses I've ever taken. A lot of reading but the lectures are fascinating. His recollections of his experience in St. Vincent are cool too.

Course was pretty lecture heavy. He does what he can to make it interesting. Lot of anecdotes and stories about his experiences in fieldwork. He manages to explain topics and concepts covered in an easy to digest manner. Be sure to take notes. One warning: you'll have to read the textbooks on your own, and they count for credit on his exams.

Professor Zane's ANTH2 class is engaging, with insightful anecdotes from his fieldwork. The lectures are informative, but you'll need to do the readings to ace the exams. unstuck AI was a lifesaver for test prep alongside traditional study methods.
