Such a nice and engaging professor. No tests but the information in the class is really interesting so you still learn and retain a lot. Would definitely take again.

The absolute BEST and SWEETEST professor ever!! He's very understanding and caring about his students. Though, he does give kinda a lot of reading, it is manageable. Show up and participate in class, and you'll receive an A

Hands down the kindest human being I've ever met in my life. The class is pretty easy and the lectures are quite interesting. He also has some really interesting experiences in South/Central America that he shares with the class. Would highly recommend taking him

Great guy! He really cares. He gives some readings and projects as long as you do them and show some effort you'll get an A. Just show up sit there smile you will be fine. Much better than any other anthropology teachers at Baruch.

Didn't think I'd have to write a bad review for any of my professors, but professor frener earned this. I thought everything was going well, my grade was good throughout the semester, but I ended up with a grade that I did not expect at all. All of my straight-A peers received C's and D's. He seems nice, but different when it comes to grading.

Had to read the don'ts to make sure my message gets across. The other reviews cannot be real based on my experience with this professor. He dosen't care about you despite the pandemic, gives no extra credit or chance to redeem yourself and you wont learn anything. All this while giving out useless lengthy assignments. you Will end with a bad taste!

Professor Frener is the KINDEST professor. Most of the assignments are easy and have to do without our own lives (ie. neighborhoods, childhoods, life experiences etc). There are also a lot of interesting movies and documentaries he'll assign. There's one group project where a different group presents about that week's assigned reading or movie!

TAKE THIS PROFESSOR he is among the kindest and most understanding professors out there. The material is always interesting and eye-opening, he also assigns very reasonable amounts of work, so you will most likely not feel overwhelmed at all in this course. Excellent professor.

If you're thinking of taking this low-quality professor than please take my advice, don't. He will give you absurd amount of hw and tests for no good reason, he will later give you a grade based on his own wanting's, based on no rubric and no explanation as to why he gave you a bad grade. Looks like he has little experience in teaching as well.
