Really enjoyed this class. Professor Morales is a great lecturer and very passionate about Greek myths. Only had to attend 7 sections which was great. One of the books we had to read was the Iliad which I ended up loving. No final exam instead just a straight forward final project.

An interesting course and a professor who updates the lectures to be relevant. Would recommend! There's weekly canvas quizzes and two "creative projects" are required for an A (and WRT requirement). There's readings, but you can probably skim or skip some of them.

Genuinely one of the easiest GEs I've ever taken. I did none of the readings and I still got an A+. The TAs are super sweet and very lenient graders. There were weekly writing posts that were like around 250-300 words. Weekly quizzes, but also super easy as long as you attend lectures.

I loved Morales! Her class was so interesting and her lectures are so organized that it's hard NOT to absorb the information. There were assigned readings, but I got away with not doing them. She's also VERY CLEAR about what she expects which is so refreshing. Love her and I highly recommend this class. It builds good character development.

I loved this class! It's very clear in the syllabus what you need to do in order to get the grade you want. You lowkey do not need to do the readings or attend any lectures in order to succeed. I went to lecture anyway because Prof. Morales is so funny and makes it interesting. Amazing accent.
