The class was structured in a different way than I was use to, but the professor explained it from the beginning. She thoroughly outlined exactly what you had to do in order to receive the grade that you wanted. The work was not too hard, but there was homework every week. If you take this class, be ready to do a lot of writing and analysis.
The whole class is very weirdly structured. Look for another professor if you really want this class. You will no clue what your grade is until it's too late.
Tragedy in translation. Morales' lectures can be confusing, with lots of tangents and it's difficult to figure out what terms, background material, myths, history are important for supporting analysis of the tragedies. Make sure to have the same translations as she uses-the bookstore slips up so check isbn # she assigns! Still a worthwhile class
