Comment:
His lectures are a little dry and boring, but they do contain a lot of really useful info. He's a good prof, i had a three hour lecture with him and he spoke the entire 3 hours without ever checking his notes, he knows the info backwards and forwards. If you do the readings and sometimes pay attention you can get a good mark

Comment:
Lectures were boring so I did other work while keeping my ears open for anything important. The ta's mark the first two essay tests a bit harshly, but the final is all multiple choice and EASY. You'll enjoy reading the textbook since it's like a story. I'd recommend this course.

hey, everyone. does anyone who has taken this course still have the final exam, or midterm in multiple choice. Cause I'm having mine soon, that would be great just to have a look at sample questions.

I got a decent grade from this proffessor, having attended less than half of his lectures and never purchasing the required textbook. He reads off the lecture slides, which are available online. The only trouble I had was I found pressed for time during the tests.

Comment:
I didn't find this class as easy as many of the other commentators have, and that could be because of Wall's switch to essay tests this year. No need to attend class, his lectures are nearly identical to his textbook. The class is organized, and he's a very nice man, but there's massive amounts of information to learn if you really want to do well.

Comment:
All the lectures were online, and since he seemed to basically just read off the overhead, I rarely bothered showing up to class. Tutorials are also optional- you can just study the notes/books and show up for the multiple-choice tests and that'll be your entire grade. It's a bird course if you bother to study (which I should have done more of).

Comment:
Prof. Wall can be extremely arrogant and condescending. His awkward attempts at humour are almost make you feel sorry for him. Still the class that I took (NATS 1730) was very easy as he literally 'wrote the book' on the history of science. No need to attend lecture as long as you do your reading.

Comment:
He's ****. I'm also white so I have no personal agenda. He praises scientific/cultural achievements of Europeans but never of other groups. He speaks of hunter-gathering societies as if they were all stupid lazy children. He implied in lecture that Africans are less evolved than Europeans. When I asked him to tell the class otherwise, he refused.

A great course. He is very easy to understand and the tests no problem. The lecture notes were posted online and are taken from the book almost directly. A good choice for the necessary nats credit.

Really good proff, he puts a lot of work into his lectures, I took this class before with 2 other proffs, and it was terrible compared to him. His slides and lectures make the material easier to understand.
