This FYS is particularly reading and writing intensive. Be ready to have a lot of heavy and content-full readings, but they are very interesting. The readings and lectures significantly changed my perception and understanding of climate change. Essay-exams are challenging but a very good way to practice writing skills, theoretical application and great intro to anthropology.

This course was very intense- including heavy readings and several papers. Lectures and discussions were also a large portion of the class. While it all felt challenging, Mike (Professor Sheridan) was an excellent guide through the basics of being a student at Middlebury and adapting to a college-size workload. This was definitely a great introduction to anthropology, as well as Middlebury as a whole.
