The goal of "Urbanism in the Archaeology Record" was to give students an understanding of the various aspects and theories that explain the rise of urbanism using examples from throughout history and more specifically the archeological record. There were no prerequisites for this class, but many survey respondents recommended having a background in archaeology.

Students appreciated how caring the professor was and the learning environment she fostered. Her knowledge of the material was very effective with her teaching technique and she helped facilitate class discussions well. Some respondents however, expressed that they wished she had taught more of the class instead of having discussions because she was obviously knowledgeable.

The readings were interesting and useful to the class. People especially liked the reading by Morris, and especially did not like the reading by Mumford. Students had to complete two class presentations on readings, one final presentation and one final paper. Students felt this was adequate to help them learn and not be overloaded.

In general students spent two to three hours on this class per week. This was less then what they had expected coming into the class. People highly recommended taking the class. Be prepared to learn and do the reading. The professor is wonderful and you should come willing to talk. If you are prepared to do the minimal reading each week, you will get a lot out of this class.
