Arguably the easiest class at this school, with Helen at least. Pretty interesting as well.
Prof. was hilarious & overall a good teacher. Which is kinda hard to find nowadays. Clear on what work you need to do to get an A, B, C etc. which takes the stress away. The class taught by her & the TA made me love greek myth.
Easy GE. Clear & easy grading. 2 weekly 200WC writing for completion, attend 7/10 sections, complete 1 1600WC project/paper for a passing grade or 2 for an A. I mostly BS'd all assignments with just some Percy Jackson knowledge and Wikipedia. Just make sure to focus on writing analysis. Never needed to attend lecture or do the readings. (Fall 2021)
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 project(s) are kind of a lot of work, but if you pace yourself it isnt that bad. the weekly work assignments arent too bad either and you can miss a few! the material itself is really easy, especially if you like greek myth already (percy jackson fans?). julio is an amazing TA as well!
Lots of reading but you don't need to do most of it
