CMLT0101 with Roger Russi19 minutes ago

I took this class to fulfill a CW, and it was alright. I appreciate that Prof Russi was very, very passionate about the readings, but the material did not resonate with me personally. I was also frustrated with the way he graded; he was very critical about my work, but relatively lax on the grading of my classmates. Overall, I thought the class was interesting, but the standards of grading were unclear.

CMLT0190 with Pavlos Sfyroeras23 days ago

I took this class to get a distribution requirement and I am glad I did. We read one play a week from different Greek and Roman playwrights, discussing half of the play on Monday and the second half Wednesday. Friday was discussion where up to three students would be selected (or volunteer if they had not led discussion to that point) to present an argument on a possible interpretation of an aspect of the play. Pavlos would also contribute to any given discussion. Bulk of the work in this course came from the one or two weeks you led discussion, and as long as you read the plays throughout the semester, reviewing for the final exam is made quite easy. Overall a fun class that shows the beginnings of the comedic genre.

Prof. Russi is a great instructor and very passionate about the subject material. The course is very much discussion-based, with several papers assigned throughout. The papers are totally manageable and Prof. Russi is a fair grader. We also got rewrites which were quite helpful. Would definitely recommend.
