Anyone who says this course is an easy A is lying. I have been recommended this course by multiple people who said it was easy, but they must've taken it before some kind of curriculum change. The material is outdated and not useful, assignments had very very specific directions but rubrics/grading that often times directly contradicted the directions. We would have like 150 pages of reading due a week, aw well as an essay, quiz, and discussion post. Its a VERY heavy courseload, especially for the summer. The class actually caused me to have panic attacks and an actual nightmare based on it.

The textbook is often very redundant while also being very vague about information that should really be explored in depth. Theyll spend 3 paragraphs describing the chemical properties of some kind of rock, but spend only a single sentence to talk about massive wars that destroyed an entire kingdom.

The professor didnt make the materials related to the class. THe lectures were filmed by someone else like 10 years ago. Grading took forever, which made doing assignments annoying because I had no clue if I was doing them right.

Just don't. There are plenty of other 3000 level elective you can take to fulfil gen ed requirements/anthro degree requirements.
