ANTH 2230

I took this class my first semester at the University and I loved it. It's still probably one of my favorite classes I've taken. The professor was really interesting and rather eccentric (as all good anthropologists seem to be). The reading was fun and the paper topics were amazing. I loved it!

GREAT class. Lectures are not necessary. Wagner went to UChicago and it shows--the guy is weird as hell. But, if you enjoy reading good fiction (do not be put off by the fact that it is science fiction, the assigned books are phenomenal) and can string together a coherent paper, this is a very enjoyable gut. 3 5-page papers, no midterm, no final

a unique, interesting class, but prof. wagner is a bit out there and has a tendency to go tangential in lectures

no work, couple of weird papers, pretty easy class overal

i wasn't really into this class. i was expecting an easy a and it wasn't...

Easiest class at UVA- 3 essays that can be written from the summary! No FINAL! No midterm! 3- 4 page essays and thats it. Never went to a single day of class and got an A great GPA booster! schedule another class at the same time slot too!

This was a great class. There's a lot of reading, but it's all science fiction, and it's really fun. The professor is pretty extreme, and some people don't like him, but if you go into it expecting some crazy things, it's a great class. I highly recommend it, especially as a fun class to lighten up the rest of your load, but it still makes you think.

This class was an easy A. You read 6 science fiction novels (which were pretty interesting) and write 3 papers (1 paper for every 2 books). The paper topics are so bizarre, but a few were straight from lecture. I think as long as you support your argument and have explanations, you'll get an A. I totally didn't know what I was writing about even though I read the books and I got an A on all 3 papers. He claims that he and his graders are harsh to make sure theres an even distribution in grades...but I don't believe this. The professor is kind of wacky (wears metallic suits and colorful ties) and is a pretty imaginative and fun man! If you need a social science class, this one is pretty easy.

Easy, interesting, worth a shot

This course is interesting and you have to think and write in a new way to be able to do well, but if you can do it, it's worth taking.
