Reviews of professor Cary Speck

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Prof. Speck is a great teacher, and understand a lot about her discipline. She was able to engage and challenge me and really believes that her students can learn.  She has professional expectations of her students, and has inspired me to continue to view the world in a new lens.

I understand, its a 4 credit class, but the workload for this class is insane. His lectures are on PowerPoint, you can't speed up the audio for that. Audio for each slide averages about 3 min, and about 70 slides each week. Adding on to that there is about 30 pages of reading from the textbook, not including weekly articles, write up, discussions

Speck's Ancient Civilizations course is a great introduction into the broader anthropological studies on past cultural groups. Each unit is discussed generously through lectures, written works, and documentaries. If you spend an hour each day focusing on this class you will have no problems excelling. Course work was reasonable and educational.
