Pros: No exams!
Cons: You have to read 11 ethnographies, 1 book a week. The whole class is discussion and he has no structure on grading. You pick 4 books to write an 8 page paper on (no structure what the paper should be about) and you have to lead 2 of the class discussions in groups- my class meets once a week for 3 hours and the discussion has to be this long. Your grade is passed on these papers and your participation.
Only taking the class for a degree requirement and know nothing about Africa. If you have never learned anything about Africa, don't take this class or you will be lost in all the class discussions.

Dr. Pritchett is a fun and interesting teacher. He has a different style that will keep you awake at 8AM. He is extremely fair in grading and great at presenting material. Very willing to help outside of class! Definitely one to take a class from!
