Some students were unhappy that they were unable to get through al of the information on the syl abus. There were few suggestions for improvement, which included posting lecture notes before the lectures and staying as close to the course curriculum as possible. Students felt that anyone with interest in Egyptology should consider this course. Prospective students should dedicate time for the readings and for relatively light writing assignments.
