The best aspects of this course included the exciting lessons on Greek philosophy, the effective class discussions, and the wel -selected reading assignments. The worst aspect of this course was the lack of feedback on assignments and exams. Students felt like they didn’t know how they were doing in class and were just going through the motions most of the time. The course would be improved if there was more structure and focus on vocabulary and grammar instead of just reading dense material. Prospective students should have a basic understanding of Greek language and grammar.

The high points of this course included the enthusiastic teaching style of the professor, the integration of technology into the class, and the relevance of the homework. Though the homework was useful, the amount of homework and time needed to complete it was cited far and away as the most negative aspect of the course. Many students also thought the assumption of prior knowledge was difficult to ignore. The most frequent suggestion for improving the course was a more reasonable amount of homework, or at least a better distribution of due dates over the week. Prospective students should review syntax and grammar prior to the start of the semester, and be prepared for the high workload.
