CLASSICS 322
Quality 5/5Difficulty 1/5
Lectures were optional but discussion attendance is graded. Pretty easy to get a good grade if you do your assignments on time. Not a lot, just a few short writing assignments (mostly graded by participation), some online quizzes, and a final paper. No exams

This class was insanely easy. Also, Gaber is a great prof. She provides grace periods, extra credit, and is super chill and understanding. If you need literature credits, this class is an easy A.

CLASSICS 322
Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5
Interesting class taught effectively by Alice's lectures. She clearly cares about Roman history and takes a nuanced approach to teaching it, acknowledging the bias that certain sources may have and teaching us many different perspectives of historical events. There is a lot of reading though, and the final paper at the end is a bit tough.
