This has got to be the easiest 4 unit class at UCSB. Take it with him! Not another teacher! Midterm and Final are both 30% and are 30 multiple choice (3 choices only!) and 20 true/false. The professor's English can be hard to understand, but he really is a nice man who wants everyone to get A's. And anyone can! Highly recommend.

All the students love him. He brought mints and bagels for the class on the last day of class and for the final. I didn't buy or read a book, just did a lot of online researching and still aced the class. Just pay attention to class and make sure you either read or find summaries online. Easy A if the effort is put in. Laura Behymer is a hot TA.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS MAN! He is the most amazing professor here at UCSB. He is the cool grandpa you wish you had. Class is interesting and attending lecture is actually fun. Tests are fair and based on the readings. Over all an AMAZING class and the professor is ADORABLE.

You don't have to attend lecture all the time but should probably do readings before going to class. I felt like he was my awesome greek grandpa or something, but lectures are difficult to understand if you aren't caught up on the readings. Midterm is super simple if you read Sparknotes but you have to actually work if you want to pass the final.

the most amazing professor I've had. he is so sweet, kind and caring. he might not remember your name but he will remember your face. he's extremely helpful and will go out of his way to help you. he's extremely passionate about his work. his reading is light, and very interesting i would tell everyone to take him. he's a freaking legend.

GREEKMYTH . 14 Years Ago

One of my favorite classes at UCSB. Reading consisted of the Iliad, the Odyssey, Hesiod, and a few other short readings. Seth was an excellent TA and was very helpful with the essay. If you need to GE requirement take this class

Took the class for GE, and unfortunately was at 8am three days a week. Seemed interesting at first, and he is definitely informed and loves what he does, but often found myself falling asleep or missing class due to time. Midterm and final are extremely easy and paper isn't bad if do reading and go to talk to your TA. I'd recommend for GE.

Apostles is the man! He is the grandpa you always wish you had. Tells you stories and makes you laugh. Very easy A if you go to lecture and pay attention. The tests were multiple choice with 3 options, doesn't really get much easier. Def. take greek myth with him for that easy A and classics requirement.
