i loved the class!

she is hilarious and her class is not hard. just go to class and write really good notes and the midterm will be easy! since the final is not cumulative it is basically another midterm, but with essays that were not hard. she gives you the prompts a week before hand for the inclass final essays so you can plan them and definitely get an A

Although I know some people may say they hated her, I loved her. She's British, so sometimes I had no idea what she was trying to say, but she definitely knew the area and was passionate about her field. Don't get James as a TA...he's TERRIBLE. Attend lecture and an A should be easy.

Helen Morales is the rudest educator I have ever met. She requires lots of reading and her slides are not helpful. Good way to pass the class is attend lecture and write everything she says. The sections were also demanding for a subject that is not that difficult.

She is a terrible teacher. She just blabbers the entire class, and her slides are completely unhelpful. It is pretty easy just very dull and she is rude.

Not a particular fan of her teaching style, but I can't complain much since I received an A. The class is pretty easy itself and her lectures are really helpful for the midterm and final (even if it doesn't feel like they are). I don't think she realized that 9 o'clock was too early to get students involved and actively engaged, though.

I loved this class it was sooo easy all u have to do is go to lecture everything u will ever need to know will be said there,dont even bother with the books especially ovid it would be a waste of time to read that. two tests short answer,picture identification and 2 essays(only the final). Very interesting class.

Professor Morales expects high quality work, well-researched ideas and frequent in-class participation. If you do not take one of her classes, you are missing out on an opportunity to become a better Classics Major and a higher caliber student. Take CLASS 185 with Professor Morales before you graduate, it will make your undergraduate experience!

Professor Morales offers a unique and interesting perspective on the ancient world.

This seminar is definitely the hardest class ive ever taken @ UCSB, but thats b/c this class is designed to be 1 of the last you take in the major. Consisted of a research paper & presentation in front of the department. It was incredibly rewarding & I learned more than I ever have in a class before. So glad I took it w/ Morales. Fave prof ever!

This prof gets props on her knowledge. She knows her stuff and, yes, she has the academic pedigree. Understand that if she likes you you're in, or your done. Kiss your academic career goodbye. After enduring her lectures I wonder if this woman actually thinks she lives in ancient Greece? She surely judges us according to those anachronistic ideals.

Horrible professor. Constantly teaches wrong information and relies on her head TA to correct her. My TA was a new classics student and didn't know what she was doing either.Teaches stories that are already commonly known from high school (Antigone, The Odyssey, Oedipus). Clearly feminist based. Is no help for office hours and is very rude.

Chill enough. Go to lecture. Everything on the midterm and final are on the slides, but she won't put them online. The readings are typically short and simple. She's overly feminist and preachy about it, but whatever. No essays or papers. 5 quizzes, lowest score dropped. Final has an essay section, but she gives the prompts in advance to prepare.

Easy class..pay att.. go to class everyday, take good notes.... ADVICE...i would read the intro to the books she gives because she gets the terms for the test from there, and you dont have to read the rest of the book haha....LOVE HER and hope to take more of her classes

I dont understand why people say shes a hard teacher because shes not...... Just go to class...cause she goes over everything and take good notes....if you listen and pay attention itll be an easy class overall and enjoyable. Advice...read the intro to the books she assigns, alot of course terms are on their that are helpful for tests

Professor Morales expects alot from all students. Expect to be worked hard in this class. Pay attention to the terms that she gives in class. Try hard and try to attend every lecture. She definitely notices students who put in effort and work hard in her class. Hard work pays off in the end.

Tragedy in translation. Morales' lectures can be confusing, with lots of tangents and it's difficult to figure out what terms, background material, myths, history are important for supporting analysis of the tragedies. Make sure to have the same translations as she uses-the bookstore slips up so check isbn # she assigns! Still a worthwhile class

Greek Tragedy. Heard a lot of horror stories about her, but I thought she was fantastic. Really loved her course and wouldn't mind take another except I'm GRADUATING!!! Knows her stuff and expects you to know it. Wasn't stifling and really encouraged creativity and critical thinking.
