Spring 2024 - I came into this class not expecting to be too interested in the topic, but was surprised as the quarter went on. I really enjoyed this class and feel very grateful to have taken it. The main assignments are two papers based off of readings you did for discussion, and I feel like they were fairly graded overall. If you are willing to put in a bit of effort, you should be fine, but it really helps if you are excited about it!

Winter 2025 - Professor Lesure is everything, honestly, I didnt think I was gonna have fun in this class but his lectures were super engaging and he's just a silly funny guy. He's super knowledgeable and going to lectures will be super key if you end up taking this class- take notes when going over the reading questions bc whats discussed there will help you write your midterm/final paper! Workload is manageable if you're not a procrastinator like me, but it was a fun class and really not bad at all don't be scared haha.

if you are not an antro major it can get somewhat boring (Some Archaeology). grading is based on participation and three out of four (5 pg) papers. papers are all based on articles from your reader. the class only requires one reader and the readings are not too long. Athough his lectures help you to understand the readings, you cannot depend on the lectures for your papers. overall the class is interesting and not too dificult. if you are looking for a class with out too much stress, this is the class for you. oh yea, i almost forgot, he also stresses on plagiarism, he sometimes dedicates an entire session to it.

I have to disagree with the reviewers here. I had a great seminar style (15 people max) class with him and was constantly impressed by his knowledge. He has a great sense of humor and keeps things interesting. Although, not an all-time fav, dont be scared away from a great professor.
