Reviews of professor Samuele Collu

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Absolutely hilarious and amazingly eccentric teacher. Super passionate and very engaging lectures!! One of the funniest anth professors. Very dense readings, but engaging.

The best professor I had in university, Collu cares so much about the content and teaches it well. He does a great job of introducing you to texts that may seem unapproachable and then taking you through them slowly. He encourages student questions and fosters great discussion every class. His perspectives deeply shaped my university experience.

Lectures are incredibly engaging and funny. The assessments were easy and he even changed the syllabus and gave us a lighter workload multiple times. You should take any of his classes! No textbook and all readings were posted, you didn't have to read them too much, just taking notes in class is enough.

Can't recommend this course enough for any anthropology students, this seminar was a breath of fresh air. All the readings were modern and thought provoking, only a handful had very difficult 'academic jargon'. ANTH 412 seriously peaked my interest in anthropology and some of my best work came out of this class as a result. Thanks Samuele.

Prof Collu is an amazing Prof. There is a lot of reading to do which you need to do to get the most out of the course but it doesn't feel too much because the topics are super interesting. The workload was made lighter and the responses were pretty easy. Extremely captivating lecturer and I looked forward to going to class for once!!

Collu's lectures were definitely interesting, and he makes the topics easy to understand. Zero technology policy was annoying at first, but I grew to enjoy it.

If you have the chance to take any class at McGill take ANTH314. It's essentially learning about psychoanalysis which applies to all of us and was incredibly eye-opening. Samuele is the best prof you could ever ask for. No technology class, and no lecture slides but him just talking alone is so engaging, but I never wanted to miss a class ever...
