Overall great teacher. Always wanted to make class fun and engaging. Gets off track quite easily and never forgets anything.

The class has some interesting information and ideas and the discussions were never boring. There's plenty of homework, but as you put forth some effort it will be rewarded.

Brendan Pelto was a cool. Doesnt make the class harder than it needs to be, and TRUST AND BELIEVE some professors try to make an intro to anthropology class into a PhD program. He is very laid back, all he really asks is that you come to class and contribute something to the discussion. He lays everything out for you, no surprises.

He was a great professor who makes you laugh. He is very sarcastic. If you pay attention and participate the class will be fun. Little bit of homework but nothing huge.

Brendan is an interesting guy for sure. When he asks questions, answer them because otherwise class is boring when you just sit in silence. There is a weekly half page summary (really easy) due every week. Quizzes are usually short answer (so make sure to review your notes). He also let us use two pages of notes front and back on the midterm.

Brendon is a unique professer and really encourages his students to think outside the box. He encourages discussions of sometimes taboo subjects and it makes the class interesting and fun. He is approachable and honest. There is some writing involved and tests are mostly essay, but I wouldn't let this frighten you - reasonable grading on papers.
