Reviews of professor Jayur Mehta

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Good teacher. I honestly didn't show up to class for like 5 solid weeks and still managed to get an A in the class. Just make sure you do the online quizzes and study enough for the midterm/final based off the powerpoint he puts on canvas

Such an easy elective.

I was surprised how much I loved this class even though I think archaeology is pretty boring. The only real workload from this class was preparing for the midterm/final, but if you just show up and pay attention you should do well. Very solid professor.

If you read the book, it's an easy A. Easy homework. The only hard part was preparing for the midterm/final. Midterm average was a C. Very specific and lots of content. Not hard if you study/ review powerpoints. Most people complain that he's boring but you can tell he cares about the subject. Overall OK.

Class was a lot of reading and small essays all the time. 10 page paper due at the end. Dr. Mehta is really flexible with deadlines and class discussion.

While his lecturing is a little dry, he is a good teacher. He provides lots of examples and does his best to make the really boring aspects of archaeology more interesting. You can read the book, show up to class, or watch his recorded lectures off of Canvas. Every other week we have an online video assignment and a weekly online quiz.
