Selling textbook for class! bought for $20, selling for $10! text **********

If you just do your research for the 2 essays, you'll get a fine grade. My TA gave a lot of feedback after the first essay so I knew what she wanted for the next in terms of what to research in the textbook. The midterm and final is just memorizing a ton of slides with pictures and descriptions of these pictures. You can cram this in 2-3 days but it will be tiring. Or you can put in the work like a normal UCLA student and go to lecture to learn about all the greek artifacts. Both can get an A pretty easily i'd say!

This class was a really easy GE! I definitely would recommend it if you're good with memorization. Selling The Archaeology of Greece: An Introduction:2nd (Second) edition for $5 at **********.

Okay, take this class if you’re good at memorization. You really don’t even have to go to ANY lecture. I feel bad for saying this cuz he’s so nice, but it’s true. The midterm consists of 80 slides that you have to memorize and so does the final. To be fair he gives us ALL the slides in the beginning of the quarter so it’s completely 100% doable. But we’re all just lazy. Anyways. There’s two essays which mostly depend on what your TA thinks of them so just ask them for help and you’re solid on that part. I got a B because I didn’t study at all for the final and I got a D on the final but since I had an A on my midterm and essays, I got a B overall. You DONT have to do any of the readings. I didn’t. So, if you’re good at memorization and hate going to classes, take this.

This class requires a lot of busy work and memorization, but as long as you put some time into the class, it's not hard. It is way more work for a GE than I was expecting, so be prepared to spend quality time with the material-you have to memorize 80 slides for both the midterm and the final, but extra credit is offered on both so it is easy to get an A or above on both. This class is definitely TA dependent because the two 5-6 page papers are a big chunk of your grade (25% each), and some TAs were way harder graders than others. It is helpful to come into the class with the ability to write a good essay since it can break your grade if you do poorly on the essays. The upside of this class is that you don't have to go to lecture, because none of the lecture material is on the midterm or final and you don't have to incorporate lecture topics into the papers. I only went to lecture a couple times the whole quarter and still got an A+- just make sure you go to discussion since it's participation points (10%) and the TAs can give helpful insight into the midterm and final.

I do not recommend this class. I never leave reviews here but I felt like i needed to warn people not to take this class. I'm a second year and have taken many GE's but this is ridiculous for a GE. You have to memorize roughly 80 slides for each test (one midterm and the final), which isn't too bad. The professor tells you EXACTLY what the midterm and final format will be and they are fair tests. However, the midterm is only worth 20% & there are two writing assignments each worth 25%. So even though the tests are fair, the TA's make it nearly impossible to do well in this class. I don't want to speak for all TA's & you can scroll down to read the rest of the reviews and about other people with the same experience as me, but all I can say is my TA was WAY too harsh of a grader and getting 2 B's on the essays pretty much left me with no chance of getting an A in the class. If you're looking to take this for a GE, just don't. There are easier ones out there I promise.

I didn't enjoy this class much, mostly because I had a harsh grader of a TA. The lectures are boring and so are the readings, but for the most part, both the midterm and final are all memorization. There are two papers, both 5-6 pages which is a bit much for a GE, not to mention how boring it is to have to elaborate that much. Professor is a bit of a dry lecturer mostly because he refers to every single artifact as one of the most fascinating discoveries ever. He is funny and a bit of jokester, but still that doesn't compensate for how boring the class is. If you are okay with memorizing material, even for a boring topic, take this class.

This class was really easy. I never did the readings and just improvised things to say during discussion for participation credit. You don't have to go to lecture. I earned an A+ from putting a decent amount of effort into the two essays assigned in the class. I got 95% on both essays. Try to write a lot and incorporate pictures. I got a 116% on the midterm: it was pretty simple since he had a lot of extra credit. You didn't have to go to lecture to get the extra credit, you just had to remember information from the study images. I got a 96% on the final. The final was annoying since he put stuff on there that wasn't on the study images, but it's still fine as long as you memorize the study images. You should be able to get the majority of the points. I took this class with three other classes (another GE, 30C ochem, LS 4). This class was very manageable with my other classes, mostly because I didn't go to lecture. Tldr: lecture is a waste of time, just memorize the study images, write a lot in your essays. A+

Do-able class if you memorize the slides for the midterm and the final and write decent papers. Selling the textbook required for $15. Text me at **********.
