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.

Fall 2021 - Professor Duthie is a very well prepared, well research professor and make this class a pleasure to take. The class itself is not hard. The class surrounds around the translations that are done for every class. Participation does matter but as long as you prepare the translations for the class you will be fine. There are three exams throughout the class and all of them are based on the information covered in the chapters preceding the exam. Overall, this class is easy and interesting to take. Professor Duthie is a pleasure to learn from.
