Reviews of professor Samuele Collu

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Prof Collu is by far the best prof I've had thus far. Lectures were engaging and incredibly interesting. took his class a few semesters ago and find I retained mostly everything. Weekly papers and lots of reading but material was so thought provoking that I didn't really feel like I was working. I was excited to go to this class every week.

I have taken ANTH 227 (in class) and ANTH 314 (online). Prof Collu is easily my favourite prof at McGill. The way he lectures and talks about the topics presented in class makes you want to listen even if you don't quite understand where he's going with it. Highly recommend any class with him!!

Literally the most passionate prof you'll encounter; he loves what he teaches and it really shows. He cares immensely about the wellbeing of his students and he's super accommodating! Would definitely take him again if given the opportunity.

he is by far my favorite teacher i have had in my 3 years at McGill, there is no ppt/laptops but he talks slow and repeats often, his class was super engaging and easy to follow. Highly recommend he is really a great prof and the material is interesting and engaging.

Prof. Collu seriously seems like he knows the meaning of life... definitely one of the smartest people I've ever met, a genuine and nice person, wonderful lecturer, lovely Italian accent... take medical anthropology even if you don't care about medicine or anthropology!

I walked out of every lecture totally rethinking the way I saw the world. I found Medical Anthropology to be more philosophical and theoretical than any other anthropology or history of medicine courses I've taken, but he's a phenomenal lecturer so you should definitely take the course.

Super engaging lectures and course materials. All essay assignments were short, so the workload was not huge in that regard. Has an ironic no-technology policy considering some of the course content was on disability, lifeworlds, structural violence, etc. If you are unable to take paper notes, Professor Collu's courses may not be accessible to you.

Prof Collu is great! I loved this class. Was really understanding and accommodating while everything was online. You can tell he's very passionate about what he teaches from the way he speaks about the topics in the lecture/podcasts. It's rare a class makes you view the world differently but this one did.
