Material is very dry, but he is a very passionate and knowledgeable professor, I wouldn't recommend this class for GE fulfillment unless you're genuinely interested in Classics, I missed a lot of class and still got an A in the class.

He's an interesting lecturer.The class can get dry at times, but it's by no fault of the prof, just the material.I found the best way to study is to go through your notes & make a list of possible IDs-make sure you know the definition and significance for each.Run the list by your TA to make sure you're on the right track & you should be golden.

Professor Morstein-Marx is a super caring guy but I had a super difficult time following all of the material in his course. He expects you to know a lot for the exams and he does not post the slides online so all you have to go off of is your super rushed notes because he goes through the slides so quickly.

The reading help but the lectures are practically what you see on his quizzes and exams. Just listen intently and take some notes to review and you're fine. I took this class to avoid the lefty nonsense classes on campus.

This class has been one of the best classes I've taken at UCSB. I'm an Econ major and needed an UD elective and chose this one kind of randomly. He's such a cool professor and his lectures are super interesting. The readings are pretty easy and entertaining. I'd recommend this class to everyone

My favorite professor at UCSB thus far. I went to every single 9 am MWF lecture simply because he made the lectures so interesting and I didn't want to miss one! Midterm and final were straightforward-identifications and short essays. Lots of reading is required, but you could get by with skimming if you pay attention in lecture. Would take again!
