Prof. H was a great first class to have at UCLA. It was rough having her at 9am, but I thoroughly enjoyed the content. The class did get very optional going into week 7/8 as the TA strike started, which took a weight off of my shoulders so I could more easily focus on my other classes. Some of the readings were quite dense, but depending on your TA you could get away with not doing the reading. The quizzes were super easy if you went to lecture, and she encourages looking through the resources she provides to get the correct answer. She always responded to emails super quick and was extremely nice and understanding. I highly recommend taking the class with Prof H!!! She also had a cute cat when she showed it on zoom :)

As a computer science major, I took this class for one of my GEs and let me say that it is one of my favorite classes that I have taken. First of all, it is a very easy class and as long as you put in effort on the writing assignments, quizzes, and readings, you are guaranteed an A. But more than that, the content of the class is fascinating. Since so much of our society is inspired by the Greeks, understanding the Greeks provides deeper insight into who we are as people. I would highly recommend this class both for the free A as well as the learning experience.

Extremely easy class. Papers were fun to write and were not hard.

Actually so chill and really interesting. The assignments are fun and you only have to do a few short papers that are pretty fun, one was a poem and one was a day in the life of someone in Ancient Greece. Definitely recommend.

Super interesting class! Very easy to get an A, awesome professor, and fun assignments. Definitely take this GE!

Professor H knows what she's talking about. The grading is extremely fair and there is so much room for improvement on each assignment. Quizzes, Assignments 1, 2, and 3 are all worth 15% while attendance/participation is worth 25% in discussion sections. The remaining 15% is an optional final take-home paper to help you attain that A if your grade is low. Additionally, you only need to write 500-700 words for each assignment and the final so the workload is pretty chill. Quizzes followed from lecture but sometimes they were a bit tough; I got 5/5 on 7 and 4/5 on 3. But, to get an A in this class, watch the recorded lectures, fill out the Google form responses on the readings in your discussion section, do well on the quizzes, and try to hit all the rubric points on the assignments and you will get an A. :)

Prof. H is a great lecturer. There were weekly quizzes, but they were very fair and open book. Discussions are mandatory and make up a significant portion of your grade, but mine were also very engaging. I recommend this class to everyone who asks for a good GE!

I think this class is pretty easy and Professor H's lectures were really interesting and engaging. She made learning about the Greeks fun and easy so nothing was too boring or difficult to understand. Her lectures had slides that were easy to follow and take notes on. There were weekly quizzes but they were open note and online so they were super easy. We were supposed to read the textbook but I don't think you really need to in order get a good grade, it was pretty much the same stuff covered in lectures just with a bit more detail. We had three easy papers to write and the final paper ended up being optional so that was nice. We had weekly sections that were pretty chill as well but definitely try to participate as much as possible because I would talk in class when the TA asked stuff but not much in group discussions so I got docked some participation points. Overall recommend taking this for a ge, I would take it again.

You should absolutely take this class! Professor H is amazing, she is extremely kind and understanding if you ever have an issue. The grade is 25% participation, and they only take attendance in discussion. Three essays each worth 15% of your grade and 10 take-home quizzes worth 15% of your grade. The class is interesting, lectures are engaging, and overall, if I wasn't majoring in engineering, Professor H makes me want to be a Classics major.

This class was truly AMAZING!! Prof. H was INCREDIBLY kind, caring, and understanding of us. She is truly passionate about teaching Greek history, and I genuinely found myself in love with the topics she lectured about, even though I am not a history person. I remember going to her office hours once, and she is down to earth and easy to talk to.

I HIGHLY recommend taking this class if it's available. There are 10 weekly quizzes worth 15% of your grade, but 2 of them are dropped. The quizzes were only 5 questions each, and they were pretty easy to get 5/5 on.
The essays were also more fun and not a drag to do. There are 3 essays, each worth 15% of the grade. I highly recommend going to TA office hours, as they will guide you and will be grading your papers.
There's also a participation grade of 25%; however, it varies by TA how they keep track of this percentage. If you need to miss a class, COMMUNICATE with your TA, so you don't lose the points.

The final 15% was an essay that became optional for us. However, it an analysis essay of similar length to those of the other essays.

Regardless, PLEASE take this class if you can. Super fun and easy GE, and it is very forgiving. PROF. H IS THE BEST!
