David Stoll

David Stoll was the reason I took this class... and it didn't disappoint. This was much more different and difficult compared to the Cultural Anthropology class he teaches. In ANTH0241, you definitely have to use more of your own noggin in tackling the concepts, questions, and readings that are dished out. This class is what you make of it. Do the readings, participate in the discussions, learn to synthesize your own ideas. Stoll told us explicitly that the point of the course is to make his students better writers. The end of the semester project is a research paper, in which you can decide the topic.

Great course, it explores everything conflict related from 50,000 years ago to January 6th. The first week starts of slow, but afterwards the reading pickups. It is a great course if you wish to understand others.

This course is relatively easy aside from the frequent and sometimes very heavy readings. Class periods have very limited amounts of lecture and are mostly discussion. He values everyone's perspective and even invites students to comment if they disagree with anything he says. The syllabus is very clear and he followed the schedule throughout the semester. The midterm is graded on against other students responses, and does not necessarily require a lot of writing. The final paper is not extremely long either, especially with an interesting topic.
