He is such a good teacher! Very good at speaking and is obviously passionate about the class. He is a likeable guy, no accent, and he makes the class fun. I had Caitlin for a TA and she was good, graded extremely fairly/easy. I loved the readings. Attend lecture, read, and you will get an A!

Fall 2016 - Selling Metamorphoses and Sophocles at &30 Altogether! Text ********** Really nice Professor. He gives engaging lectures and he gets really happy when seeing students are involved in materials. The class is super clear, and you know exactly what he's expecting from you in midterm and finals. But there ARE many readings to do, and it helps if you do them by yourself rather than watching sparknotes just to pass the quiz. Highly recommending!

Spring 2022 - Be wary of this class if you're looking for an easy A GE. You have to work really hard to get an A and there's a lot of memorization. That being said, I found this class really interesting and I enjoyed the content. I grew up on Percy Jackson and read Madeline Miller's books, so I knew going into the class I liked Greek mythology even though it's unrelated to my major. If you're in a similar situation, I would recommend this class, but make sure you'll have enough time during the quarter to study well for exams and write a good final paper.
