Comment:
I'll agree that it's hard to tell what your grade is throughout the class, but I still loved this class. Idk why Bruce receives so many bad reviews, he's a very nice guy who teaches you a lot, his papers are easy (you can write them based on 1 paragraph you see in the books), & I took notes on my computer every class without a problem. No tests.

Comment:
He does not grade anything you do all semester, leaving you guessing where you are in the class. You may think you are right on track, but the lack of feedback allows him to throw a curveball and give you a lower grade than you expected.

readings and class are completely unrelated. lectures have nothing to do with topic of class. do NOT waste your time on this class if they don't change the professor.

Oops, I meant Peru, not Brazil. You'll learn a lot about chewing cocoa leaves and nothing else.

Comment:
Being a linguistics major, I was excited for this class. I had a great GSI and I enjoyed the readings. The prof is completely useless, I didn't go to class and I got an A. He's obsessed with the field work he did in Brazil in the '70's. Lecture really has nothing to do with exams or paper. Go to section and do the readings, you'll be fine.

Comment:
He's the worst professor I've ever had! He talks in a very confusing, complicated, and roundabout way, and rambles on about things that are boring, like his obession with Quechua.

He is very obscure. Funny man but very easily gets off topic. Talks very quietly.

Comment:
Enjoys yelling at students for having newspapers or computers in class; draws attention to it and wastes class time. Talks quietly, he makes everything really complicated. He doesn't have anything to do with your grade so make sure you have a good GSI.

Comment:
Very wordy, obsessed with own field work. Lectures off-track the courses supposed topics, test questions are very abstract. NOT MEANT TO TEACH. I would highly suggest staying away from his lectures or classes.
