i took anthro7 with silk in 09w, and we had this guy as a guest lecturer one time when professor silk was gone at a conference. My adivce: take anthropology 7 with silk. She at least has a good enough grasp on the material to present it in a coherent fashion. This dude sounded like he was constantly struggling to think of the words in his next sentence - he would pause every few seconds to think of what to say next, and it just made him really painful to listen to. I usually go to silk's lectures, but if i had this guy i'm sure i would NEVER go to lecture, cause he sucks at lecturing. To be fair, he probably had to cover for her on short notice, and it wasn't even his own powerpoint that he was presenting, but like i said, its just painful listening to him talk. Professor silk doesn't add many brilliant insights to the material either (she mostly just goes over the improtant points in the reading) but her lectures flow, and you feel like you understand the material better after hearing her talk about it. My opinion is just based on one lecture, so it is kind of biased, but i'd definitely take the class with Silk if i had a choice.
