  His lectures are very good, but quiz accounts for too much of the total score, and it's not really easy.

  This class is pretty easy and Professor Hawks is a great guy who cares about students and has somewhat interesting lectures. I wasn't a huge fan of the content of the course, but Professor Hawks made it as interesting as possible. The only gripe I have is that the main grade is based on 3 inquiry assignments that kind of suck. No Final though!

  Take this class if you are looking for an easy bio course! Professor Hawks is so passionate about this subject that his excitement transfers to his students! Can't say that I will ever use the information again, but 105 was a great, easy course to fulfill a requirement. Reading can be heavy at times, but it is not all necessary to earn an A.

  Prof. Hawks has done amazing this semester. The lectures are so fun and easy to follow. The inquiry assignments are a bit tough; make sure you attend lab sections and you will totally be fine. My TA Sneha is also super helpful. Choose her section if she is still one of the TA next Fall. Overall an awesome gen ed class for bio credits.

  Super fun course and interesting labs that you really need to go to if you want to do well on the inquiry assignments. Assignment wise the course was okay, although sometimes the instructions for the inquiries are not quite clear, especially the new inquiry 2. Very knowledgeable guy and it was great getting to see how passionate he was on the topic

  Prof. Hawks made learning fun and not overly complicated. This class is very low time commitment, but very interesting because Hawks shows a true passion for the topic and his research. He genuinely wants students to have a great time in his course which is easily lived up to. I also like that there are weekly quizzes in place of exams.

  Professor Hawks is probably the most knowledgeable person I have ever met. He is a master of his field and the information he provides for the class accurately reflects this. The lectures are interesting and the projects are actually kinda fun. The weekly quizzes are very simple if you do the reading and pay attention. Take one of his classes!

  Professor Hawks' lectures are always interesting, not only because of the content, but the way he teaches it. Anthro105 was a class I didn't dread going to early in the morning--I even looked forward to it. There's a quiz a week and three relatively simple projects, and the class is low stress. I definitely reccomend the course!

  Amazing class and an amazing professor. He was extremely understanding with everything going on and was always there incase you needed anything. I would 10/10 recommend him. The class was easy quizzes each week and then 3 bigger assignments through out the semester that were based off labs, took some time, but were easy if you just put in work.

  I honestly hate science, so I took this class instead of something like chemistry or bio. Despite the fact I found it extremely boring, Professor Hawks was really knowledgeable about the content and seems like he genuinely enjoys teaching. Nice guy, good teacher. No exams, weekly quizzes instead which was amazing.

  John Hawks is an amazing professor with amazing lectures. He is a real gem and knows genetics and biological anthropology very well. He does care about his students and their progress. He quizzes every week and they are based on the weekly readings. There are 4 inquiry assignments that are based on labs. Do your work and you will get an A. Awesome

  I really enjoyed being in Hawks' Anthro105 course. The material is really interesting and the class is easy. This class is a great way to learn new things without the stress of having to constantly study to get a good grade. Hawks is very fun and charismatic, and was a real anchor through the whole covid debacle.
