ANTH 2360

This is probably the easiest class at UVa. You don't have to go to class, and you only have to writes 3 papers. There are no midterms or finals. The papers are on the books you are supposed to read, but if you get a hold of the study guides you don't even have to read the books. The teacher is the weirdest guy you will ever meet, but I don't care because he hands out A's like the police in Virgina hand out speeding tickets.

This class is a lot of fun. Professor explains the reading material in class. If you attend class and read minutely, it will be an easy class. In a class of 240+; maybe 30-40 people regularly attend. If you like the teachings of Don Juan and Castaneda then you will enjoy the class even more since you will be able to engage with the professor and ask questions/compare opinions.

Roy Wagner is really wierd...I would not recommend this class to anyone, its way too "out there" to be enjoyed by just about anyone...honestly not worth the easy A-

Roy Wagner is the man. The paper topics are absurd but makes writing the paper more fun.

This is the easiest class I have ever taken. You only have to write three 5 page papers. The topics don't make sense so you can just ramble.

Wagner is ridiculous and crazy, but a nice old man. Concepts are OUT THERE, but respects the fact that you just try to write a paper... Def. a must class to take...

Strange class, the topics are extremely hard to write about, but he grades pretty easily. Very different than any other class you will take at UVa. 3 papers and no exams.

Just 3 papers - no exams. Reading is fun, but overall useless - go to class to pick up the study sheets each lecture which outline the concepts exactly as he likes to understand them. For the papers, everything you need is on those study sheets. Don't need to read or listen in class, just use the study sheets and you'll get A's on every paper.

Wagner is a rock star. Easy class. 3 short papers and no final.

Class is really abstract and very hard to understand. However it's almost impossible to get worse than a B in the class.

It's made up of three papers, no final. The papers are pretty hard to write because they are so abstract. But pick the most vague topic, find the study sheets that relate to the topic, and then summarize those study sheets in your own words. The first essay was really frustrating to write, but once you get going, it's not too bad.

Going to class is definitely not necessary. There are about 15-20 people (out of 200) on average that actually go to class every day. The only reason to go to class would be to pick up the study sheets for the essays.

Overall, I didn't learn much but it's an easy class with minimal work so I would recommend it.
