Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
Professor Schmitz-Siebertz was passionate and cared. She obviously loved her subject and teaching it. She made everything very clear and easy to understand. There was a lot of memorization, but that is to be expected in a language class. The hardest part is that she does have a set number of classes you can miss before your grade is affected.

Quality 4/5Difficulty 2/5
Prof. Schmitz-Siebertz is passionate about Latin, and wants students to also be excited about Ovid/Metamorphoses. There's lots of HW and quizzes, but they are all fair. I took a year off of Latin before taking 203, but Prof. Schmitz-Siebertz made it easy to jump right back in. Recommended!
