The Prof is very passionate and likes to try to engage the class, but the material is a bit dry. Her exams require you to have actually read the materials by having an identification portion. She does make it easy to id the writer and provides a link to all the texts for free. Overall, she was alright, but the material was dreadfully boring.

Lectures can be less than exciting, but the professor is kind and the materials in these course are free and posted online. Some of the readings can be enjoyable, and the course becomes much more interesting in the final week when comparisons are drawn between Athenian Democracy and America's democratic republic. For finals, review readings and pick four out of five quotes for which to provide textual, rhetorical, and historical analysis. It was a doable and rewarding course--I would take this class again.
