For anthropology, make sure you know what you've been taught because all of it is fair game. Also, make sure you check over your citing and referencing because it is very important in this class. Also, never leave any of the assignments to the last minute because they are pretty heavy but really enjoyable to complete.

Powels is one of the best teachers at OP. He is really passionate about what he teaches and really wants his students to succeed. If you take anthropology with him, just know that it is a bit of a heavy course, but the content is probably the most enjoyable offered in the whole school. As long as you do your work, study, and meet with him throughout the writing process of your assignments, it is pretty easy to do well in his class. Some people may think that he comes off as a cold person, but he really isn't. My friend group had lunch every day in his classroom and often sat right next to his desk. He is really easy to talk to about school and general life stuff. Would 10/10 recommend taking one of his courses because they really do prepare you for university.
