Classics

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.

Professor Chaplin was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about Greek history, and made the class very easy to follow. Each lecture follows a handout she shares at the start of class, and readings tend to track very closely with what's discussed in discussion sections. Exams and papers can be difficult, but are fairly graded and receive lots of useful feedback. Overall, a great class and a very thoughtful and engaging professor!

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.
