Ugh she is absolutely fantastic. The grading system is kinda weird but if you use any brain power at all it makes sense. Only actual assignment that takes effort is the midterm (rough draft) and final (final draft) which is the same essay. As long as you show up its basically impossible to not at least pass.

It was a very good GE. I feel like Greek Myth is a topic everyone wants to learn about but never got the chance to, and here that chance is. She does her best to make the textbooks accessible/cheap (you can get by without them tho). She is very knowledgeable in the subject but can sometimes get crabby during lecture bc of chatter.

I HIGHLY recommend this class as an easy and interesting gen ed. Helen Morales gives funny and engaging lectures. It is extremely clear what you need to do to get each letter grade, and it's basically impossible not to get the grade you want because assignments are only graded on completion. She does do random in-lecture responses once a week.

Great professor, class was very easy, just a bunch of readings but they aren't exactly mandatory.

She is really great to listen to in Lecture and they are never boring. No final, just an option of a paper for a project or taking a picture with up to 800 words about a Greek myth.

Nice professor. Uses specs grading which makes it an easy GE. Attendance is important, especially for section because of the grading system (cannot miss more than one and receive an A without it being excused). Overall the workload is light and quizzes are mainly based on the lectures (rather than reading). Entertaining content.

Really enjoyed this class. Professor Morales is a great lecturer and very passionate about Greek myths. Only had to attend 7 sections which was great. One of the books we had to read was the Iliad which I ended up loving. No final exam instead just a straight forward final project.
