CLASS40 . A Month Ago

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.

Super easy & interesting class. Took it first quarter of my freshman year and I couldn't have asked for a better GE. The grading is very clear (do a certain number of assignments to receive a certain grade) and all the quizzes are online asynchronous. If you're a Percy Jackson fan this class will be a breeze

Morales is super passionate about the topic, but the lectures aren't required and very skippable. She uses her own material for the class which is kind of funny. Super easily graded, just a few assignments that you can do half effort and it is very clear what to do in order to get a good grade.

Professor Morales is so passionate for Greek myth. She was so funny and I loved listening to her in lecture. There was a lot of reading for the class but you can get by without doing most of it. I actually really enjoyed the reading from the books that she wrote. Her grading expectations are clear in the syllabus. It is easy to get an A

Does not care about you as a person. Rude, and almost downright condescending. As long as you do your work and keep to yourself you will be fine. This is honestly quite an easy class. However, knowing her personality, I can't recommend it in good conscience.
