Wouldn't recommend. Professor doesn't do anything or teach and is remarkably unhelpful. TA's act as your professor so there is a lot of variation and they often are under-qualified. No idea how she get's away with taking the paycheck when they do all the work.

Playing the game was fun and it's easy to pass the weekly quizzes as long as you take notes on the chapter. Grade is highly dependent on your TA—I never interacted with prof Moser. Just make sure you participate and share in section and adhere to assignment instructions and you'll be fine.

Rome: The Game was fun, but it really depends on what TA you get. Devris encouraged you to be creative and have fun with the assignments, but he graded pretty harshly. You probably won't have the same problem, though. The professors themselves were really nice.

Professor moser likes her subject and likes to get students to think critically about archaeology. The assignment requirements can be vague but she's not a hard grader. I recommend doing the readings because she likes to ask questions to the class.

I enjoyed playing the game. Lots of reading. Professor's explanations throughout the games were fun. However, the TAs were tough graders, specifically my TA. Explanations during sections did not make sense and he would ramble about useless things. I asked for feedbacks as well because he gave me such a low grade on my final but I was ignored.

Rome the game was a super interesting class that used a choose your own adventure style that was pretty easy. The readings were dense and often contained useless info. You couldn't backtrack the reading which was annoying. TAs were tough graders on assignments and participation as well. Instructions were really vague for final paper and assignments
