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.
She can be petty sometimes but she's super funny and Greek myth is an easy GE. Pretty interesting class too.
Prof Morales was an incredibly fun and caring teacher. Attendance/readings are not mandatory to do well, and her grading criteria is very clear. She is extremely funny, and I often attended lecture just to listen to her talk.
This class is known to be easy, the rumors are true. 2 Projects that are not very difficult, showing up to section, doing short quizzes, and writing assignments get you an A. Easy GE.
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.
