Professor Morales was amazing during spring 2020 online course. She clearly cares a lot for her students and tried her best to make the course accessible and fun during this crazy time. She does an awesome job of connecting greek myth to present times and is super fun in lectures.

Nicest lady ever! Her lectures are super funny and interesting even if you don't care at all about greek myth. She has been extremely understanding and lenient during COVID19 times and genuinely cares about students. Grade is participation, a paper, and a final. Easy A if you show up. Also reading was not necessary at all. Wish I had her in person

Not only are her lectures fun to watch (and she's pretty hip) but she's bending over backward to accommodate for COVID-19 inconveniences. I wish I could take a class with her in person!

Great prof! Easiest GE I have taken yet. 3 tests and she drops your lowest one. So you might not have to take a final!! Weekly homework assignments are very easy. I would show up because she doesn't post lectures and the tests feature lect material.

Morales is such an amazing professor. She really teaches the material well and clearly making her lectures fascinating. She sometimes can be a little rude, but she is also funny. She gives 3 midterms(one counted as the final) and you get to drop your lowest test grade. One of my favorite professors at UCSB so far :)

Easy A, but professor is rude and borderline condescending to students. Take this class for an easy, A but avoid if you don't want to deal with her belittling demeanor. Would take this class again, but not with this awful professor.

Fairly easy class as long as you take good notes in lecture and try to keep up with the short weekly readings (section was really helpful too!). The class itself was pretty interesting and listening to Professor Morales was sort of fun since she has an English accent.

Definitely an easy A! Her lectures were very interesting and her accent was fun to listen to. If you do well on both of the midterms then you don't have to go to the final (which means you don't have to go to the last three weeks of class). Great experience!

Mean and antagonistic. Doesn't create a comfortable teaching and learning environment

Go to lecture and take good notes. You'll pass! Lectures are really important. She doesn't post lectures online. Minimal reading. Only 2 super easy papers (1-2 pages). 3 multiple choice tests and lowest grade is dropped. Easy class especially if you're interested in Greek Myth.

A very interesting class and it was helpful that the professor was passionate about the subject. It's easy to get an A in the class as long as you do the readings (which are not that hard to keep up with) and attend lectures. The papers are pass/no pass and out of 3 exams, including the final, one will be dropped, so it's not a stressful class.

2 short papers (pass/no pass), 3 midterms (lowest score dropped & 3rd one is the final), participation. She uploads slides but they don't explain much so you have to go to lecture and take good notes. Know the myths or the tests will be even trickier. I got a C & a B on the midterms but did well on the last one and ended up with an A- in the class

Prof Morales is very enthusiastic about Greek Myth, she is fun to listen to because she has a great accent. Going to lecture helps with the quizzes but they are easy and if you don't go you can still get an A if you keep up on the reading. Drops lowest test, barely posts anything online also, participation matters in section.

You can tell Professor Morales is passionate about Greek myth and her tests weren't hard. She drops the lowest test score and only gives you 2 written assignments. However after the 2nd midterm, the class didn't really have a flow and she was just lecturing on random myths. Loved the class at the beginning of the quarter, not so much at the end.

GO TO CLASS! I LOVE THIS CLASS, I BELIEVE as the years go on she gets much better. Feel free to go talk to her, I think she is very understanding. You really do not have to do that much work and she also drops your lowest midterm score. I think she is great!

Loved this class! Professor Morales lectures were both entertaining and informative. 2 papers, 2 midterms a final and a couple of section assignments all of which were fairly straightforward. My only critique would be that I wished she had been more specific on the prompts for the papers since she does not really talk about those subjects in class.

You either love or you hate her, and I was fortunate enough to be the former. Her lectures are incredibly interesting, as well as the text, and she really wants everyone to succeed. As long as you do the reading and pay attention in lecture(although attendance is not taken), you will do very well in this class. I wish I could take this class again!

Professor Morales expects high quality work, well-researched ideas and frequent in-class participation. If you do not take one of her classes, you are missing out on an opportunity to become a better Classics Major and a higher caliber student. Take CLASS 185 with Professor Morales before you graduate, it will make your undergraduate experience!

Professor Morales offers a unique and interesting perspective on the ancient world.

This seminar is definitely the hardest class ive ever taken @ UCSB, but thats b/c this class is designed to be 1 of the last you take in the major. Consisted of a research paper & presentation in front of the department. It was incredibly rewarding & I learned more than I ever have in a class before. So glad I took it w/ Morales. Fave prof ever!

She was a solid professor who gave entertaining lectures. Unfortunately, she scares you into doing most of the reading, but the tests aren't reflective of the reading. They're entirely based on the lectures, down to details you might think are trivial. Any reading questions are on over-arching plot. If you take good lecture notes, it's pretty easy.

Assigns a lot of reading, but I got by reading just the summaries online. In section, 2 close readings are assigned PNP but you can resubmit until you pass. A paper is due at the final. Her tests compose of the general idea of the reading and ideas she presents in lecture so take good notes.

This prof gets props on her knowledge. She knows her stuff and, yes, she has the academic pedigree. Understand that if she likes you you're in, or your done. Kiss your academic career goodbye. After enduring her lectures I wonder if this woman actually thinks she lives in ancient Greece? She surely judges us according to those anachronistic ideals.

Pretentious teacher. Lectures are important. Take good notes! Barely read the textbooks. There is an online PDF of her VSI. Section quizzes 5x the quarter. She doesn't post your grades on gauchospace. Her midterm was easy but her final is much more difficult. Easy GE.
