Christopher Star
This course is the first real reading course that follows 101 and 102. After learning about grammar and the mechanics of Greek syntax, Greek 201 is the introduction to unadapted, authentic greek. We read all of Lysias 1 and are trying to finish Crito by Plato. Professor Star is nothing short of fantastic and a genius. He is accommodating, knowledgeable, kind and wonderful at teaching and explaining. This course is not for children, you need to put in real work and really struggle with the Greek. But, as they say in the Classics, Latin marches, but Greek dances.

Christopher is a great Professor who clearly loves teaching. This is the perfect class if you have at least some interest in Roman history and want a fairly easy history distribution requirement. He's a very accommodating grader and has multiple extra credit assignments throughout the semester. Some of the course readings were quite difficult, but if you pay attention in class you don't need to read everything and you'll still do fine on exams.

Professor Star is probably the chillest of them all. This is basically a discussion-based class with no homework and easy tests. Because it's super chill you don't learn a crazy amount of life-changing information. Would recommend if you want a class with a low homework load to balance out other more demanding classes.
