I am a third year at UCLA, and without reservations I would recommend Professor Lemelson to my friends because I think he must be the best professor I have had at this university. He was effective as a a teacher because I was engaged in everything his class offered, including lectures and reading materials. He was concerned about my personal growth and learning because he encouraged to write about something significant to me, instead of taking the safe way out (and analyze Freud, for example). He guided me to write one of the best papers in my life, and I am quite proud of it. Lastly, Professor Lemelson class was small, and he made accomodations to be available outside of the classroom for me. My experience in Anthropology 135A is what all of the college, academic experience should be like.
