"Ethnicity, Race, and Gender in the Americas" is a lecture course intended to explore concepts such as racism, multiculturalism, and nationalism, along with the many other topics that the title suggests. There are no stated prerequisites for the class, and no prior knowledge of anthropology is needed.

Some students enjoyed Professor Gutmann's lecture style, describing it as "informal and lucid," but others found him less engaging. Again, while some felt that he was approachable and encouraging, others did not get the impression that he was interested in them or their particular interests.

Everyone agreed that the readings assigned for this class were interesting and useful. There were three papers and a group presentation project, which all the reviewers felt was a good workload.

Of the few people who noted how many hours they spent on work outside of class, some reported two and others four. Presumably the others were not overwhelmed by the workload either. Overall, responses to the professor's style and to the class itself were very mixed. Some students, however, did recommend it.
