Pavlos Sfyroeras
Greek and Roman Comedy with Professor Sfyroeras is a great class if you enjoy reading and discussion. There’s a good amount of reading each week—mostly plays—and you need to come prepared to talk about them. The two exams were pretty easy as long as you kept up with the material. Discussions are key, and Pavlos creates a thoughtful, engaging space for them. If you do the reading, you'll get a lot out of it.

Professor Pavlos is an amazing professor, he’s extremely passionate about the content that he teaches. We have to read a new Greek/Roman play every week, with a discussion session held on Fridays. The content of the reading is long but light, and they’re fun leisure reads. He also connects the content that we read back to real time events in Roman and Greek history.
Greek 101 is not for those who want a relaxing winter term, but it is a great way to introduce yourself to a beautifully constructed ancient language. We had classes every day, with short quizzes every single day as well. Homework would take anywhere from 2-3 hours each night plus the 3 hours of class time. I definitely learnt a lot very quickly and I felt well prepared to continue studying Greek.
