Reviews of professor Todd VanPool

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Dr. Van Poole is literally the best teacher I have had at college. He is extremely understanding and one of the only teachers on campus that truly cares about his students. His class is also really interesting!

You can tell how much he genuinely cares about students and the content. Assignments are very straightforward, just discussion posts and weekly quizzes over the content. I maintained a 100% the entire course so it's not bad at all. There is a lengthy term paper but it is basically a completion grade. I loved his class and his teaching style.

Would not recommend this unless you like anthro. Took it as a gen ed and professor is passionate, but wasn't interesting to me. The 2 tests are easy. Reading textbook is important- heavily tested on but not gone over in class. Term paper was graded easily. At the end I got 40/50 on participation which was odd because I don't think he knew my name.

Wonderful and insightful lectures. A bit unclear when it comes to grading requirements.

Really enjoyed the class, lectures were interesting but sometimes dragged a little long. Dr. Vanpool was readily available after classes and always interested in student contributions. He goes over test questions the class before the exam, and often gives out extra credit on random days of lesser class attendance. ASK QUESTIONS IF NEEDED!!
