Collegei loved taking phil 152 with professor tsouna! the class is just about the republic, most of the time i wouldn't even need to do the reading before class because we walked through it very detailed. she does have a rule about no computers but i found it easy to take notes by hand. graded by 2 written exams, both you get to use the book for.
Professor Tsouna is brilliant. She is competent (not only in Greek philosophy, but also history and culture), accessible, and accommodating. The content was philosophically rigorous, so I recommend attending lecture. Also, there was a good amount of reading, which one may want to tackle strategically.
Great professor for an upper div. class. She assigns a lot of primary source reading which can be overwhelming and dense, but lectures help break it down. Her lectures are very interesting and well done and I ended up enjoying the subject more than I thought! 10 ish prompts, choose 1 for paper, and 6 prompts choose 2 essay questions for final.
Professor Tsouna is so sweet and kind to her students (if you read and know whats going on) if not she can be dismissive and seem cold. Lectures can be circular so you need to ask questions.
Simply excellent!
Incredibly intelligent, very helpful and friendly, very interesting, great great class
