Yegul has a superiority complex and isn't afraid to be ostentatious of his knowledge. He presents information in a mundane & tedious fashion,that ensures even the most optimistic student's moral to deter. If you want a difficult class, an extremely subjective hard grader, and ridiculously specific tests, take any of his classes. But Seriously Dont
Incredibly boring lectures; really fails to make the subject matter interesting and engaging. On top of that, his tests are very nit-picky and difficult.
Deducts points like crazy. Expects you to memorize everything. Interesting class overall if you're actually curious about roman architecture.
I was very disappointed after taking his course. He is a very hard grader. He will find anything in his quizzes to take points off. I was very dedicated to his class and did all the reading, never missed a lecture and he would still find a reason to grade harshly. Please do yourself a favor and dont take him!
People may bag on Yegul's accent--yet for me, it made the class much more interesting and enjoyable. I felt like I was watching a history channel presentation every lecture. If you attend lecture, take notes (more applicable to the test then textbook), and make picture flash cards (not a lot of work)--you will get a good grade.
Yegul's accent isn't that bad I can understand everything he says. Sure his voice is pretty boring, but I think section makes up for what you don't get for Yegul. Pretty easy class. If you're good at memorization you'll get a good grade just read the textbook.
