I loved taking Noah's class. It was super engaging and incredibly interesting and continued to feed my passion for the classics. I really appreciated how much he made me think more deeply about something that i'd studied before and would've loved to take more classes from him
Sooo caring. A post here said that his lectures were inaccessible so this quarter, he kept his lectures up. Quizzes were short and usually on lecture material, def take notes on the Latin vocab. Noah actually makes me excited to watch lecture. He's enthusiastic about it and it shows. LOVE this class. His wife is his TA and they're so cute.
This class was the only class I've really looked forward to this whole quarter! It's super laid-back and accommodating since it's async. Reading is supplemental but not required. He's engaging and makes the course really entertaining! You choose either weekly posts or an essay, and MC midterm and final. Would recommend you take him for any course!!
UCSB got lucky with this guy. He is so passionate about the material and will make YOU passionate about it, too. Interesting material, great lecturer, very cool guy and he is so nice. Take his class if you can; he deserves the world!!
Professor Segal is a great professor who definitely had a sense of humor and a relaxed atmosphere in his lectures. He tries to not stress the students too much about exams and quizzes. The material that he teaches is quite entertaining; lectures are a little over 25 minutes. Rely on the lectures to pass the quiz. Would definitely take again.
Heavy lectures only available for three days after they're posted, not cool, sometimes can't get to them within three days. They can get long, and not super interesting unless you really like this stuff. SO MUCH READING. The weekly quizzes are mostly lecture material, as well as the midterm.
