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 class, would take this class again in a heartbeat. She's very passionate about what she teaches. Assignments are relatively easy. Take!!!!
Lovely class definitely take her if you are thinking about it.
Good GE course. Easy to A, moderate workload.
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.
Super light class, probably top 3 easiest GE with Hellen. She lowk a yapper but her class is light asf so it checks out.
Great teacher. Keeps class interesting and explains the stories in an engaging way.
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.
An interesting course and a professor who updates the lectures to be relevant. Would recommend! There's weekly canvas quizzes and two "creative projects" are required for an A (and WRT requirement). There's readings, but you can probably skim or skip some of them.
Genuinely one of the easiest GEs I've ever taken. I did none of the readings and I still got an A+. The TAs are super sweet and very lenient graders. There were weekly writing posts that were like around 250-300 words. Weekly quizzes, but also super easy as long as you attend lectures.
I loved Morales! Her class was so interesting and her lectures are so organized that it's hard NOT to absorb the information. There were assigned readings, but I got away with not doing them. She's also VERY CLEAR about what she expects which is so refreshing. Love her and I highly recommend this class. It builds good character development.
I loved this class! It's very clear in the syllabus what you need to do in order to get the grade you want. You lowkey do not need to do the readings or attend any lectures in order to succeed. I went to lecture anyway because Prof. Morales is so funny and makes it interesting. Amazing accent.
Super easy & interesting class. Took it first quarter of my freshman year and I couldn't have asked for a better GE. The grading is very clear (do a certain number of assignments to receive a certain grade) and all the quizzes are online asynchronous. If you're a Percy Jackson fan this class will be a breeze
Morales is super passionate about the topic, but the lectures aren't required and very skippable. She uses her own material for the class which is kind of funny. Super easily graded, just a few assignments that you can do half effort and it is very clear what to do in order to get a good grade.
Professor Morales is so passionate for Greek myth. She was so funny and I loved listening to her in lecture. There was a lot of reading for the class but you can get by without doing most of it. I actually really enjoyed the reading from the books that she wrote. Her grading expectations are clear in the syllabus. It is easy to get an A
Does not care about you as a person. Rude, and almost downright condescending. As long as you do your work and keep to yourself you will be fine. This is honestly quite an easy class. However, knowing her personality, I can't recommend it in good conscience.
She can be petty sometimes but she's super funny and Greek myth is an easy GE. Pretty interesting class too.
Prof Morales was an incredibly fun and caring teacher. Attendance/readings are not mandatory to do well, and her grading criteria is very clear. She is extremely funny, and I often attended lecture just to listen to her talk.
This class is known to be easy, the rumors are true. 2 Projects that are not very difficult, showing up to section, doing short quizzes, and writing assignments get you an A. Easy GE.
Arguably the easiest class at this school, with Helen at least. Pretty interesting as well.
