Fall 2017 - Prof. Simpson gets a bad rap. Her acumen and mastery of the material show through in her lectures and she inspires a passion in her students, many of them history majors but many of them just genuinely interested in the material. This is a class I believe students get out what they put in. No, this is not a class for people who think Egypt is silly and we will just be learning about mummies the entire time. She really puts a lot of effort into showcasing the intricacies of ancient Egyptian life and this is a valuable lesson because Egyptian civilization is vivid, vibrant, and full of much more than just pyramids and mummies.
