Christopher Star

Such a great class and professor. I had some exposure to Classics in high school but wasn't sure if I wanted to continue in college. I took this course my Freshman Fall and it convinced me to do Classics at Midd. Super easy course too and interesting content, I'd recommend it to anyone.

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.
