This class is a super easy GE but is a bit TA-dependent. I never showed up to class once. There are 3 essays, each worth 30%. each is about 4-5 pages long, and the prompts and associated readings for the lectures are posted on the syllabus from day 1. The readings are kinda long and boring but if you get the gist on them that's fine. Before you submit your essays, be sure to revise them with your TA as they usually look for specific stuff. The other 10% of your grade comes from discussion attendance and participation. If you have a hard TA, essays are graded harder and participation matters more. Most TAs are chill. Super easy class overall.

Selling textbook for class! bought for $20, selling for $10! text **********

If you just do your research for the 2 essays, you'll get a fine grade. My TA gave a lot of feedback after the first essay so I knew what she wanted for the next in terms of what to research in the textbook. The midterm and final is just memorizing a ton of slides with pictures and descriptions of these pictures. You can cram this in 2-3 days but it will be tiring. Or you can put in the work like a normal UCLA student and go to lecture to learn about all the greek artifacts. Both can get an A pretty easily i'd say!

This class was great to take as a lightweight GE since it requires very little time and attention. There are two papers, one midterm, and one final. The topics of the two papers are quite easy and given well in advance. My TA was also super helpful in giving me feedback on my papers before the due date so that I was able to do well. Also, the required text was really useful for the papers because it contained a lot of the information the professor goes over (I'm selling a copy of the book for $10 - text me at ********** if interested!). The midterm and final are the same format - the professor shows some slides with artifacts, paintings, or the like and asks for specific facts about them (time period, artist, etc). Both the midterm and final are quite easy if you spend a couple days before memorizing the slides he designates for the midterm and the final. Honestly, very doable! He also gives a lot of opportunities for extra credit during the midterm and final, which allowed most people to get above a 100%. All in all, I highly recommend this class. The lectures can get very boring and hard to sit through, but they are also not mandatory and aren't super helpful to go to. You can get by pretty well by reviewing the lecture slides he posts on CCLE.
