Took Acabado for Anthro 116S: Southeast Asian Archaeology. The class was pretty straightforward. He provided a practice midterm exam, which was almost exactly the same as the midterm. For our final, we had to write 3 four page essays. This took a bit of work to complete. During the quarter, we had to write weekly precis on the readings. This was pretty time-consuming since some of the articles were difficult to understand. There was also a group project where we presented on some of the weekly readings and led discussions on them. Although this class was a bit of work (mainly due to the weekly precis), I would recommend this course to anyone who is interested in this topic or needs to fulfill the Archaeology requirement as an Anthro major! Acabado was a fun professor and was always available to answer student questions/concerns in office hours or over email. He offered extra credit to the class if we made 5 memes about the course material.

This was a great class and I really enjoyed it. Actually, this was my third time taking professor Acabado and he never disappoints. This class consisted of 10 weekly quizzes, a group project, four biweekly's and of course; a midterm and final. The quizzes, midterm and final were all multiple choice questions based on the readings and some lecture material. The readings were not too bad, ranging from 30 to 100 pages a week (give or take). The latter was easy since it was assigned from a book, which by the way was very interesting and not too expensive ($30). Although all of the logistics I just mentioned were taken during the remote learning period, I was able to take him in-person in another class and it was pretty much the same: quizzes, group project, and midterm and final. I would definitely recommend this class, he's a great professor and you'll learn a lot.
