Prof. H was a great first class to have at UCLA. It was rough having her at 9am, but I thoroughly enjoyed the content. The class did get very optional going into week 7/8 as the TA strike started, which took a weight off of my shoulders so I could more easily focus on my other classes. Some of the readings were quite dense, but depending on your TA you could get away with not doing the reading. The quizzes were super easy if you went to lecture, and she encourages looking through the resources she provides to get the correct answer. She always responded to emails super quick and was extremely nice and understanding. I highly recommend taking the class with Prof H!!! She also had a cute cat when she showed it on zoom :)

Professor H knows what she's talking about. The grading is extremely fair and there is so much room for improvement on each assignment. Quizzes, Assignments 1, 2, and 3 are all worth 15% while attendance/participation is worth 25% in discussion sections. The remaining 15% is an optional final take-home paper to help you attain that A if your grade is low. Additionally, you only need to write 500-700 words for each assignment and the final so the workload is pretty chill. Quizzes followed from lecture but sometimes they were a bit tough; I got 5/5 on 7 and 4/5 on 3. But, to get an A in this class, watch the recorded lectures, fill out the Google form responses on the readings in your discussion section, do well on the quizzes, and try to hit all the rubric points on the assignments and you will get an A. :)

Prof. H is a great lecturer. There were weekly quizzes, but they were very fair and open book. Discussions are mandatory and make up a significant portion of your grade, but mine were also very engaging. I recommend this class to everyone who asks for a good GE!

I think this class is pretty easy and Professor H's lectures were really interesting and engaging. She made learning about the Greeks fun and easy so nothing was too boring or difficult to understand. Her lectures had slides that were easy to follow and take notes on. There were weekly quizzes but they were open note and online so they were super easy. We were supposed to read the textbook but I don't think you really need to in order get a good grade, it was pretty much the same stuff covered in lectures just with a bit more detail. We had three easy papers to write and the final paper ended up being optional so that was nice. We had weekly sections that were pretty chill as well but definitely try to participate as much as possible because I would talk in class when the TA asked stuff but not much in group discussions so I got docked some participation points. Overall recommend taking this for a ge, I would take it again.

You should absolutely take this class! Professor H is amazing, she is extremely kind and understanding if you ever have an issue. The grade is 25% participation, and they only take attendance in discussion. Three essays each worth 15% of your grade and 10 take-home quizzes worth 15% of your grade. The class is interesting, lectures are engaging, and overall, if I wasn't majoring in engineering, Professor H makes me want to be a Classics major.

professor is amazing, genuinely cares about the content and her students. her quizzes are really easy, just go to lecture or watch them from home (cause she records them fr goated). there are three writing assignments that are pretty chill (took about 1.5 hours for each one), and they're each 15% of your grade. she dropped our final writing assignment so the grade categories got scaled appropriately. you need to go to discussion for attendance (as that is a part of your grade) so do that, but you don't really need to do all of the readings assigned. super cool content as well! amazing class would take again!

Strengths: charismatic, energetic, and interactive during lecture making the lecture times very interesting.
Weakness: Sometimes rushes towards end of lecture to ensure we finish the lesson plan, but since lecture is also recorded not much of an issue.

Super easy GE, attendence isn't required.

The greatest strength of this professor is how obvious her love and interest for the material is. It shines through in her teaching and makes me more interested in the work as well. She is well spoken and the lectures were easy to follow. This class was very interesting and I would definitely recommend it to other students.

I love this class, I love Professor H, I love classics, and if you ever need an easy GE and this is being offered with her, do yourself a favor and take it. There is a textbook for this class, but you can find it online. I don't think it's that necessary overall to get though. Initially, for the first four weeks, I always did all the assigned textbook readings but then it was taking up a lot of time and I realized I didn't really need it at all. There is a quiz assigned every week, and your lowest two quiz grades are dropped. It's open book and open note and you get more than enough time to complete all of it. The quizzes are incredibly easy; a lot of the time it'll just be content questions from lecture (so you should watch all the lectures). They're not trying to trick you, either; oftentimes, it'll really just be the most obvious answer. I think for the first couple quizzes, there were some questions that drew from the textbook, so having a pdf would be handy to ctrl+F. However, the majority of the quizzes are entirely from the lectures, so you don't even need to look at the textbook to get the questions right. Most of the time, I didn't even double-check my answers, I just answered from memory and submitted the whole thing in a minute. They're that easy. There are four writing assignments for this class, graded leniently, and we also got a deadline extension for two of them. Our last assignment (the writing final) became optional. You could take it if you wanted to improve your grade in the class, but otherwise, if you were happy with where it stood, your grade at the moment would just become your final grade. I loved how low-stress this class was and every lecture was always super interesting. It was tough waking up for a 9am, but it takes a couple hours for the podcasted lectures to be posted, and I liked it enough that I didn't want to have to wait until mid-afternoon to watch the recordings. One thing to note is that the slides themselves aren't posted, so if you don't attend lecture, you will have to watch through the entire recording to see what is written on each slide. Also, discussions are mandatory for attendance but for us, participation was just writing a short paragraph answering a discussion prompt of our choice. There were a lot of options, and some of them were really interesting, like comparing Sappho to Chappell Roan. My TA also made us do a Kahoot for fun at the start of each section and I really liked that.
