Reviews of professor Justin Hosbey

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Interesting lectures, but speaks too fast so it is sometimes hard to take notes. Very lecture heavy. Basically just typing for 75 min straight. But, not super hard so I would recommend ANT 101 and Dr. Hosbey.

The class was good, and he is very passionate, but beware if you want to connect outside of class. Otherwise, easy A.

Really good professor, would highly recommend. Everybody assumes Anthro is an easy A, and thought they could get an A on their exams without studying or showing up to class. This is not true, you need to study, but the difficulty is certainly not high compared to other classes youll take.

He talks about his research, which is very interesting. The material isn't difficult. He plays a lot of videos to support his statements. The videos and the lecture itself are very engaging. He encourages class discussion even in the large lecture class.

Hosbey is a great lecturer, he explains concepts really well while always making an effort to incorporate relevant/current topics of discussion. He highlights the work of other anthropologists, especially POC anthropologists in his lectures, which I liked. He speaks a bit fast but the tests aren't hard, so as long as you pay attention you're good.

I took Dr. Hosbey on a whim and ended up majoring in Anthropology because of this class. He utilizes relevant, interesting material such as examples about hip hop and rap. The class is an easy A as long as you read and/or show up to class. There are three exams, and he drops the lowest grade. Also multiple opportunities for extra credit! Love him!

Great professor with engaging slides for ANT 101. Tests were pretty easy and he gives you a study guide to prepare for them. He even said that if it were up to him, he would rather not give exams.

I think Dr. Hosbey is a great professor who cares about his students, and gives a lot of help (really accessible). Participation does matter (via TopHat), and the tests were fairly straightforward.

He was a very sweet guy, and very intelligent. I felt his lectures were a little all over the place. Cultural anthropology is definitely under his belt.

Dr. Hosbey's class is the most enjoyable & useful class I have taken at Emory. He is very understanding of mental health issues (v important during the pandemic). He explains things in a very engaging and clear way and is one of my favorite professors. He cares way more about his students and our learning than grading harshly. Take his class!!!!!!!

Dr. Hosbey really cares about his students and is an engaging lecturer. The ANT101 class was taught in tandem with another professor (John Lindo) so I only had Dr. Hosbey for the last half of the semester. Participation is required and your only other grades are exams, but they're very fair.
