Reviews of professor Charles Hilton

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Avoid at all costs. Lecture consists of reading off slides and nothing more. Consistently speaks to students in a condescending manner. Clear that he does not care about us. Misgrades assignments. Homework based on topics not covered in class. Class based on material from an unpublished textbook riddled with errors.

414 human osteology course, and the quizzes were extremely hard unless you went in and studied for a couple hours a week during open lab times. There were about 6-8 quizzes and the bones were laid out on tables, 2 take home test, and a final skeletal analysis project that you work on during class. Flexible attendance when sick, reschedules quizzes

do not take this class if you think it is going to be easy because it is not!!!!!! this class doesn't require a lot of work but is graded based on like three things. he reads off of the slide for 75 minutes and then cracks a few jokes for redemption. provides so little guidance on the few assignments we do have and then grades them pretty harshly.

Dr. Hilton is extremely knowledgeable and this shows in his lectures. For ANTH 490, he did assign a decent amount of reading but none were too bad, and as long as you can contribute to the discussion you'll do fine. Only had a few assignments during the semester, but he was very flexible with due dates and was more than happy to meet out of class.

I hated this class. Taking his class made me realize I don't want to pursue biological anthropology. His lectures are so boring, he reads off the lecture slides, misgrades assignments, he was difficult to work with. He gave us homework assignments on topics we didn't cover in lecture. This class sucks, do not recommend unless you absolutely need it

Such a boring lecturer and clearly is just there because he has to be. I have never been more uninterested in a class. 75% of my grade was based on tests, and the entire course is based on the memorization of the most obscure and abstract things. I would not recommend taking this class.

I really enjoy Hilton's courses. Everything you will need to know for the homework assignments, in-class group work, and exams are on the slides, which are available for students. If you participate and attend class, that will work in your favor by the end of the semester. I recommend going to office hours or emailing him if you need help!

Only reason I made it through this class is because I've taken 3 genetics courses.The degree of complexity which he speaks about genetics is actually insane. I have no idea how students without a biology background understood anything. 13 page paper + a take home final and problem sets from an unpublished book. Vague/harsh grading. Spare yourself!
