He was really fun and relatable while transferring upon us some really high-level information about Ancient Roman and Greek history. There is no final or midterm in this class, only 4 big essays that have broad criteria. Nothing is truly mandatory, but there is value in reading.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/816195","quality_rating":5.0,"difficulty_rating":2.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:38:06.969684+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTIyNTc3NTA2","source_instructor_id":"rmp:816195","instructor_name":"Grant Nelsestuen","course_label":"CLASSICS100","course_id":"CLASSICS 100","course_uid":"course_8d940202723509f7569afa43","review_date":"2013-12-16 20:27:40 +0000 UTC","comment":"Great professor, easy going, very interesting and always prepared for class.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/816195","quality_rating":5.0,"difficulty_rating":1.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:38:06.969684+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTIyNTU2NTY2","source_instructor_id":"rmp:816195","instructor_name":"Grant Nelsestuen","course_label":"CLASSICS100","course_id":"CLASSICS 100","course_uid":"course_8d940202723509f7569afa43","review_date":"2013-12-14 21:38:04 +0000 UTC","comment":"Prof. N is a cool guy. He's pretty funny, has some cool perceptions on various classical works, and is always crystal clear. No textbook, but we did use a coursepack, and we used everything in it. He's also very merciful when it comes to grading papers, of which there were four. He's easy to talk to and easy to listen to. Honestly, my fav prof.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/816195","quality_rating":5.0,"difficulty_rating":1.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 15:59:20.917506+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTI5NzUxOTcz","source_instructor_id":"rmp:383852","instructor_name":"William Aylward","course_label":"CLASSICS100","course_id":"CLASSICS 100","course_uid":"course_8d940202723509f7569afa43","review_date":"2018-04-05 20:56:39 +0000 UTC","comment":"funny lecturer, clearly knows his stuff but can be confusing at times with the detail.

All of the exams are online essays and are only 1000 words which is basically nothing. Its easy to get 100 on weekly assignments while barely even reading the spark notes for the books. If you actually want to engage in the class tho, his lectures can be pretty interesting.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/383852","quality_rating":5.0,"difficulty_rating":1.0}]
