Most Helpful Review
Please take this professor! He is truly one of the finest! He speaks eloquently and explains the material clearly. He is a creative genius by comparing Greek culture today to the ancient world. You have two papers but they are understandable, fun, creative, and are enjoyable. The grading is not harsh as long as you argue your point sufficiently and follow the rules. The class was just excellent---you learn so much!! Read the books to be able to participate in discussion--you are graded every time and must participate at least once in section. For the exams, remember to read the in-class notes carefully, as all test questions are pulled from the lecture. There is no need to reread the book as you will not have the time. Dr. Koh will reward those who are responsible and go to lecture, pay attention, and take good notes. I ended up with an A+ and I worked very hard in the class. The exams are extremely fair--multiple choice. The essays are difficult at times but he kindly allows you to choose the essay you want to write about (he provides several options). But they do not grade you on how eloquent your rushed writing is, just on how well you are able to put content and quality. You will not regret this professor, and you will learn so much and enrich your education greatly! :)
