Arguably the easiest class at this school, with Helen at least. Pretty interesting as well.
Prof. was hilarious & overall a good teacher. Which is kinda hard to find nowadays. Clear on what work you need to do to get an A, B, C etc. which takes the stress away. The class taught by her & the TA made me love greek myth.
Easy GE. Clear & easy grading. 2 weekly 200WC writing for completion, attend 7/10 sections, complete 1 1600WC project/paper for a passing grade or 2 for an A. I mostly BS'd all assignments with just some Percy Jackson knowledge and Wikipedia. Just make sure to focus on writing analysis. Never needed to attend lecture or do the readings. (Fall 2021)
The class was structured in a different way than I was use to, but the professor explained it from the beginning. She thoroughly outlined exactly what you had to do in order to receive the grade that you wanted. The work was not too hard, but there was homework every week. If you take this class, be ready to do a lot of writing and analysis.
the project(s) are kind of a lot of work, but if you pace yourself it isnt that bad. the weekly work assignments arent too bad either and you can miss a few! the material itself is really easy, especially if you like greek myth already (percy jackson fans?). julio is an amazing TA as well!
Lots of reading but you don't need to do most of it
Great professor and TA!
the only challenging part of this class is the two projects that really bite you in the butt if you procrastinate on them. start early on them so you do not stress during finals week! otherwise, morales seems cool, I did not attend any person lectures with her though. TA was great, really passionate about his stuff.
If you want an easy GE, take this, pass/no pass. Just attend 7/10 sections, and about 70% of the weekly writing assignments (basically 2 per week) for a pass grade. Writing assignments are generally graded easily, credit/no credit. Just make sure to set weekly reminders to do the work, cause a lot of times I forgot to do them, so I cut it close.
I took CLASS40 in Fall 2021 online. The grading policy was clear and assignments were graded more on if you followed the directions than did anything special. I followed all the guidelines (max of 2-3 hours a week). Plus, if you manage to write more than 1600 words for your final projects you can apply for a writing credit in L&S.
She is very kind and funny, but if you are looking to really learn greek myth and don't think this class is it. There aren't any tests or final which is a plus, but it doesn't hold people accountable so I felt no one knew anything, at least I felt I didn't learn much. You pretty much get to pick your grade based on how much work you want to put in.
Professor Morales will be a professor I remember for a while. She is very passionate about what she does and this translates to her lectures. Fall 2021 had the class online but I felt I got a high quality of education nonetheless. There was a lot of writing, so be prepared.
Super easy stress free class. The only thing you need to do to pass is participate in sections and do the weekly assignments; requires an hour or two a week. To get an A, you'll need to do two writing assignments, which aren't too bad, just requires some extra work. They're graded based on completion, and the TAs give good feedback.
Fun prof and super easy class. If you do the assignments you will get an A. No tests.
Morales is a fun professor that loves what she teaches and makes lectures fun! The course is an easy A if you do the work. There are weekly writing assignments and you have to do two projects to receive an A (graded on completion).
Prof Morales is the absolute best! If you want an A, you have to write 2 papers. It would be a realllllly easy class to take pass/no pass though. She very clearly lays out what you need to do to get the grade you want! Lectures not technically mandatory but sections are.
I absolutely love Professor Morales. She is so funny and such a great storyteller. Lectures are not mandatory, but you will want to go to them. She made my day better every time. I'm genuinely sad that I won't be going back to this class again. Grading is super clear, the syllabus tells you exactly what you need to do to pass. So worth the GE.
Prof Morales is super funny and kind, clearly cares about her students. In the beginning of the class, you know what grade youre gonna receive based on the work you do. Reading was sometimes a bit much, like the Iliad, but its very doable. No papers, just an optional project if you want an A/B. Strongly recommend!
Prof. Morales is fantastic! She is super passionate and knowledgeable about Greek Myth, so her lectures are always interesting. The creative projects were kind of difficult, so make sure not to procrastinate on those and you will be fine. I also really liked her method of grading.
Prof. Morales is super funny for starters. The class is super easy. In her syllabus she clearly outlines how to get whatever grade you want. She even says that her class is extremely easy to pass and it is. Sections are mandatory, but going to lectures is not and it is not a big deal to skip them. Definitely would take again! Counts for writing &GE
Literally the easiest class ever. Lectures are highly optional, but section is mandatory. Prof. Morales told us that she wants her class to be easy and shamed people that aren't doing well, which is valid. Grading is clearly outlined in syllabus. Very little work. Prof. Morales spends most of lecture answering dumb questions through the Zoom chat.
Super sweet professor, you choose your own grade! She is very entertaining. There is definitely work but it is consistent every week (assignments are the same). No midterm/final. Can be used for writing credit. Professor is very easy to talk to.
Professor Morales made this class super fun, and lecture was never too overwhelming. There are weekly peer-grading assignments, plus a final paper and exam. The final paper is really open-ended and allows for a good amount of creativity. Professor Morales was super understanding about extensions/anything you need help with.
One of the most accommodating and coolest professors I've had so far. She's also a Beyoncé fan, which is all you need to know. I wish I had her in person!
