Fall 2023 - I was speaking with my roommate last night about finals and this class and she asked me to repeat the class' name to her. Upon repeating the title she said "I know that this has been your least stressful class this quarter because I have not heard about it until right now." Which, I believe is the best way to sum up this class. I'll be frank, as an anthro major, I really don't like archaeology. But I think that Dr. Neubauer knows that a lot of people share that same sentiment, and so she tries to make it as engaging and interesting as possible without it all being about digging up bones. Her exams and assignments are all very fair and easy as long as you're keeping up with readings and attending lecture. She comes into class everyday well-dressed and ready to present. Her lectures are well-organized and easy to follow along. She is funny, engaging, and really wants to share her passion for decolonization in academia. I firmly believe that even if I was not an anthro student, this class would have made me want to switch majors. Thanks to Dr. Neubauer for being responsive, kind, fair, knowledgable, and for slaying every single day.

I thought the class was pretty interesting. We only had to write four short essays, which were graded fairly. Yeah, so Scott is very uptight and anal, but it's part of his character. He's obviously very knowledgeable about archaeology, and I'd take more of his classes in the future.

He is a very knowledgeable professor and very cute! The things you have to do in this class to get an A. 1. Attend Class and take notes, he has power points online but he has said himself those are there to help him! 2. Memorize sites on a map, they will be on the exam. He has two papers for his class, both are two pagers. Really easy in my opinion. He will have you summarize two articles he picks and have you synthesis them in a cohesive well written manner. Just don't be lazy and write them a night before. His exams aren't that difficult it is just a lot you have to memorize. I stopped reading the book after 4th week, but sometimes if you are stuck on a concept the book will help.
