A rare professor who actually makes ancient subjects interesting and comprehensible. I took CLS 30, which I had attempted with a different professor and couldn't hang, and CLS 144 (the hero class). Both were fun and easy. Definitely recommend his classes and seeing him in office hours. He's laid back and approachable, not to mention he's been on pretty interesting things like Ancient Aliens. So do take him if you get the chance, and yes, he is attractive.

TAKE HIM IF YOU GET A CHANCE!

Great lecturer, although we never got through the entire readings in a lecture. The course was very entertaining, usually based like a discussion, he opens the floor to whoever wants to speak. We went through the Iliad, Odyssey, and Aeneid[given it was a topical course entitled Heroes]. Take home midterms [3 of them + 1 week to do each exam!] consisting of passage identification, multiple choice section, and an essay; there was a 7-8 pg final paper. Grading was excellent--even threw in extra credit questions. He does curse quite a bit, nothing too drastic.
Grade in class: A+
