Content discussed in this class is actually really interesting especially if you're interested in ancient greek law and philosophy. Nonetheless, many instances of students falling asleep without caffeination likely due to low brain-stimulation. The professor tends to feed students answers and ask very easy questions which students hesitate to answer due to how easy they are. My main complaint about the class is having to find or buy all the books for the class. They are needed for the final papers and aren't all easily found online. I enjoyed how passionate the professor was about the subject-matter but due to slightly rambling lectures and few activities in class, it isn't surprising that it's hard to remain in attention.

This is a fine class. Within very obviously loves Greek Tragedy, but lectures are definitely all over the place and a little dry. There are 2 exams and 2 papers, 5-6 pages. If you really like Greek Tragedy I suppose I'd recommend, but there are more interesting classes out there.

The course material is interesting if you have an interest in classics or in greek mythology. The class is fast paced in the sense that we cover a lot of material, but the lectures themselves are a little hard to sit through. Witkin is very passionate about the subject and is pretty accommodating, but he tends to jump from subject to subject in his explanations and can be extremely monotone
