I loved this class and this professor!
First of all, you only read 3 books which you have probably already read if you are taking a classics upper div (Odyssey, Iliad, Aeneid).
King has a new and unique perspective on a lot of the aspects of the epics and its really an interesting lecture, especially because she's a great lecturer.
If you listen in class and take good notes (she talks a little fast because there is so much information to cover) and keep up with the reading (sometimes pop quizzes!) then the midterm and final are a breeze, just some latin/greek terms, passage ids, and an essay on a concept she has gone over a lot. There is one essay as well. Go to office hours! She will help you structure/go over ideas for your essay and study for the tests and furthermore she makes you tea and gives you cookies.
This class was great and she was great, TAKE IT.
