David Stoll

David Stoll was a horrible professor. His entire class consisted of him reading off his notes of his thoughts on the assigned articles and books. He clearly valued the opinions of male students over non-male students, and did not feel open to other perspectives. His grading was unfair and he did not give clear feedback on how things could be improved. It felt like he was always looking to take off points.

Literally the worst class I haver taken at Middlebury. Stoll is a sexist, unfair prof who should not still be teaching at this school. He literally outwardly said he will give better grades to the males who were majoring in anthro.

I really enjoyed this course with Prof Stoll! When you first look at the syllabus, you might be overwhelmed by the amount of reading, but it's manageable as it's broken up over the week and in general, the books he assigns are very narrative and pretty engaging. There's 1 in-class graded assignment and 1 6-8 page final paper. Other than that, your grade in the class is determined on class participation. Prof Stoll was very accommodating to any extensions or extra help students may need and was always happy to meet in office hours or over the phone. My only critique is that during lectures, he did have a tendency to drone on a bit, sometimes without a clear train of thought, which made it difficult to answer questions he asked sometimes.
