Fall 2019 - If you're taking this as a GE, you're probably better off finding an easier one. As people have mentioned, if you take this class, copy down everything from her slides, as she doesn't post them online. There are weekly discussion posts, and participation in discussion section matters. Each exam only covers half the quarter, but they are both extremely comprehensive and include identifying passages from a number of texts that you are required to read. Reading the textbook before the exam really helps you remember all the terms because it puts everything in a sort of storyline.

Winter 2024 - Professor Duthie is one of the most lenient and nicest professors I've ever had. this class does take a bit of effort as each class is a discussion of the homework translation but if you plan accordingly and read the textbook it should be straight forward. The exams are 100% open book and you get enough time on it. They are all based on past translations. I would take more classes with professor duthie and plan to.
