James Fitzsimmons

This course is more difficult than I expected! Because I was not into the material, learning became a chore and difficult. Exams have strict time limits and long! So much memorization. The professor was enthusiastic and kind though!

I LOVE fitzsimmons. I had never intended to take any more courses in anthropology but he inspired me to take more. He is such a sweet and funny man who is clearly very passionate and knowledgeable about the subject matter. And no matter what questions I had I always felt comfortable asking them and participating in class. I would ABSOLUTELY take another class with him. (I’ve been looking)

If you have any interest in archaeology at all, I would highly recommend this class. Prof. Fitzsimmons is very engaging, and he brings a lot of energy and excitement to the course both through trying to keep lectures interactive and several hands-on labs throughout the semester. There are a few papers and a mid-term and final exam, but as long as you follow along in the class they aren't that difficult.
