Fall 2024 - I take this class because I find interesting learn about the ancient near east but to be honest is not what I was expecting, even if I learn is because I used to study too much on my own and TA, the midterm and the final are really easy, but the problem are the weekly test. The class was small and even if it was small after 2 weeks half of the class left.

Fall 2020 - I took this class as a GE. The professor was very nice and the work consisted of one weekly assignment, a final project, and a final exam (open note). All of the work, including the final project and exam was easy. My biggest grievance with this class was just my inability to stay focused. The material varied greatly from being very interesting, to pretty boring. Overall though, this was a good GE and I would recommend it. Also, the professor cracked jokes and tried to relate the material to modern events/pop culture, which was super helpful and nice.
