Randall Ganiban
Professor Ganiban is one of the foremost Vergilians in the country and reading the Aeneid with him is awesome. There is a big final paper at the end of the course that can be challenging if you have not done the work throughout the semester.
The course was very dependent on the readings and honestly it felt like Professor Ganiban's lectures were just summaries of what we had to read. He uses slideshows but I wouldn't say that they're particularly geared towards being accessible for post-lecture review. The best part of this class however was the flexibility the professor would give us for the major writing assignments. I appreciated the opportunity to write about what actually interested me regarding the readings

Prof Ganiban is super interested in the topic, and the class is easy to mange. The books are extremely boring and can be hard to read. The papers are easy to write, and the exams are also manageable. Lectures are long, he ends up talking most of the time. This class is good if you like the material, but otherwise, it can be a snooze fest. I liked and enjoyed his enthusiasm, but sadly this class was just not interesting to me. If you put in effort you will get an A.
