Spring 2021 - 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.

Winter 2016 - I took both his Anthro 8 and Anthro 118 class. Unlike his Anthro 8 class which can be boring, Dr. Acabado's Anthro 118 class -- archaeology of Southeast Asia -- is a more exciting class as he delves into his specialty of the Philippines and Southeast Asia. He seems disinterested when teaching Anthro 8 (he told me this personally). In his upperdiv class, he knows his students well and there's a fun project at the end. If you're a Filipino/SeAsian who wants to learn more about your culture, take Dr. Acabado! Remember that "balut" unites all Southeast Asian cultures.
