Comment:

Dr. Starrett is the hudden gem of the UNCC Anthropology department. He assigns many readings, but you will do well if you read them and participate in class. He made me think more critically and challenged my assumptions about many topics. I will take as many of his classes as I can to deepen my understanding of the world around me.

Honestly, went in apprehensive about this class but Dr. Starrett made it a lot of fun. We had a TON of articles and books to read in this class, and our grades were mostly based off of us being able to talk in class. I don't remember a thing we learned but it was fun while doing it!

Dr. Starrett is one of the best professors I have ever had. He knows EVERYTHING and has the best stories. He is perfect to take if you are pursuing Anthropology or genuinely want to know more about the field. You will read A LOT and the papers are not easy but put in the work and you'll do fine:) Seriously take his class and have fun!

May seem unapproachable, but is very willing to help you out and wants the best for his students. Makes you work for your grade, but the outcome is rewarding as you know you have earned it. is intelligent, and will tell you like it is, but imo that is better than sugar coating something that wont get you credit or anywhere in life.

Dr. Starrett really know what he is talking about and it's clear he is fascinated by the world around him. He encourages interaction in his classes. Sit near the front and take notes.

Best class I've ever taken at UNCC. It's required for the Anthropology major to graduate and I feel like it should be open to other majors as well. His teaching style makes you into a different kind of thinker and learner. Everyone should have a chance to have him as a professor.

All lecture and readings. There are readings for basically every single class. 3 essays for the entire semester, and the final exam was just a take-home essay we had over a week to write. Difficult grader but pretty fair. He wrote on a chalk board all semester, which felt a little out-dated to me. A lot of fascinating topics covered, though.

Not the most interesting professor, but if you attend the lectures and do the reading it's a pretty easy 'A'. Definitely don't get behind on the reading.

Make sure you pay attention in class. There are required readings. I did none of them and still got an A+. The lectures are worth going to, not just from an academic standpoint, but from an entertainment standpoint as well. The study guides perfectly outline the tests, but are broad. It wasn't part of my major, but I learned the most in his class.

You need the textbook, he gives you "reading assignments" but I never did them and still got an A. He gives 4 tests and no other grades, but the tests have study guides, study them well and use the book for it and you will be fine. Attendance isn't mandatory but really helps you absorb what is on the tests better. Very intelligent man.

Excellent professor! He is wonderful at explaining things and giving examples. However, the books he assigns are difficult and required for the papers he assigns.

This class is easy as long as you put in the effort. You need to come to class and read the book. All his tests are multiple choice and are 50 questions. This class turned out to be a lot more interesting than I expected.

He is a great professor. He surprised a lot of us many times with some of the things he would say and do. He is a good professor if you like ANTH. If you are not willing to hear that Evolution is NOT a theory.. then don't take the class. You only have 3 tests and a final and the book is almost mandatory to pass. All together it was great :)

One of the professors I've ever had. He is very knowledgeable and teaches this sometimes boring subject in a way that will stick with you. Sometimes arrogant and stuck up but I thought it was funny. You do need to go to every class and take really good notes but if you do that, you can get a A.

Comment:

Foundations of Anthropological Theory was by far my favorite Anthropology course at UNCC and it was because of Dr. Starrett. I cannot say enough good things about how much time he takes to make sure that students have an excellent grasp of the numerous texts that are covered in the course. He is amazing and I highly recommend him!

This class may be required of anthro majors, but I'm so glad it is, because it's one of the most fun classes I've had. Almost always a discussion based class, heavy but interesting reading assignments.

If you love anthropology and to learn then he is wonderful. His lectures are very clear and he chooses topics that are interesting to discuss in class. But if you are just trying to fill a gen ed requirement then don't bother. 25% of tests are from the texts and they are kinda boring but as long as you go to class you'll do fine
