There were a lot of assignments and reading for this class. Often times the readings felt unnecessary. The class can be fun, but when it comes to the assignments it can be confusing. I found myself wanting to get ahead when the assignments were posted, but then I would have to rework my drafts after he said something in class for what he was looking for from the assignment. He didn't go over the assignments with much detail, just briefly mentioning them in class and then moving on to lectures. The lectures have A LOT of text and it can be hard to keep up with what he's saying. He's very passionate about the topic and can keep you engaged, but I feel like this class would be more fun if the assignments weren't so hard. The study guide for the midterm had about 70 pictures to study and other key terms. It helps if you know greek, otherwise you will have to do a lot of flash cards and memorization. Quizlet was useful for the midterm and final for me. If this subject interests you I'd say it can be worth a shot taking this class, but I would only do this class again if I were only doing a maximum of 12 units to handle everything. There's a final paper and final exam so it feels like two finals around finals season, so keep that in mind too.

This class has so much work, blue book midterm and final, 2 writing assignments and final research assignment/paper. I don't know if it was worth it to take because the subject was really hard to find interesting. His lectures are not recorded and his slides are very text heavy. Lots of readings and many images to remember (ie: first midterm about 70 images to remember details about)
