Winter 2023 - I enjoyed this class –– It is kind of what got me into anthro (which I chose to minor in). There were two lectures a week that were honestly not all that necessary to attend but I typically did because they were interesting. I can't remember if they were recorded but I think it was just audio? Grading was decently lenient and the workload wasn't too bad. There were a few questions for us to respond to weekly pertaining to the lecture/reading material but I was typically able to get through them just from skimming the readings for key info. No sit-down exams, just 2 "midterm" papers and a final one. If you take decent notes in lecture these are super easy and honestly fun to write if you choose a prompt you're interested in.
