Many students enrol ed in this course witnessed themselves becoming excited about the material they learned. They also thought that the professor did a superb job of explaining concepts and the changing perceptions of Babylon throughout history. The professor also made assignments clear for the most part and was friendly. However, many students complained about the midterm requiring too much memorization, lack of discussion, and a failure to put grades on Blackboard. Suggestions for improvement include: more engaging class discussions, easier exams, and more interactive lectures. This course is great to fill requirements and prospective students would be glad to know that the work load is reasonable.
