Overall really disliked this class, lectures were extremely boring and were really hard to follow. No study guide for midterm or final that combined accounted for 90% of your final grade. Additionally lectures jumped around time periods a large amount rather than going chronological which created additional confusion. Ok class but don't recommend.

Good professor who cares about the subjects he teaches, and very knowledgeable. This does make him fall behind since there are so many things he'd like to say, we had many readings that were either moved for upcoming weeks or outright deleted from the syllabus. Go to lecture to know what's going on and just read ancient sources!

One of my favorite classes I've taken, the professor is passionate about the subject and extremely informed. He is easily one of the most intelligent people on the campus. Definitely take a class with him if you have the opportunity.

This professor is amazing at lecturing and clearly very passionate about ancient Rome. There are weekly quizzes that are easy if you go to lecture (which I recommend if you want to get anything from the class) and an in-class bluebook midterm and final. The midterm and final require a lot of studying for IDs and essay responses. Great class.

As someone who is not in the Classics department, I was worried this professor would be hard considering some of the reviews. As long as you go to class and read at least the primary sources, you should have no problem getting an A. He provides a lot of transparency about the midterm and final so you know exactly what to study. He's very nice!

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.
