Prof Siegel was entirely unhelpful when I had to miss a midterm due to a medical issue. Ended up with C due to this. His lectures were actually interesting however, so I'll give him that.

Greg is a professor I would highly encourage avoiding at all costs. He has a reputation for being extremely unpredictable and honestly, I find that the most terrifying aspect of him. With professors, I can gauge their attitude. With Greg, he is fake nice one day and insensitive and be at odds with the next. Never again!

The course is broken up into 4 categories, section attendance and "participation", Quizzes, a midterm, and a final. The course wasn't necessarily difficult, but you were given a lot of readings that you need to complete every week. The problem is that there is no section syllabus and you just have to "hope" you are doing okay to "participate".

Very interesting class. Professor Siegel is very charismatic and made the long lectures interesting. Also just a great subject matter. Hard though! You gotta read a lot and you gotta remember it all!

FAMST 70 is a super interesting class and Siegel is a great professor! The only people that complain about the class are people that don't attend lecture or do the readings. He provides study guides for the midterm and final that contain the exact questions that are on the actual tests. Basically: do your work and the class is super manageable.

Greg's lectures are really interesting, but extremely dense. Lots of reading coupled with pop quizzes worth 15% of your grade that you'll fail if you don't read thoroughly. The format of the midterm and the final is 2 essay questions and a few short answers out of a deck. Must engage with reading and the TAs grade very harshly, don't expect an A.
