Pros: Her lectures are definitely not boring. I feel engaged and she's a very friendly person. She allows for questions and even accepts little debates (as long as they don't take too long, she DOES have to teach!) She keeps all of her presentations available on elms and does her best to make sure her students do well.
Cons: None that I can think of
I love her.

Pros: Overall, an easy class test wise if you do all the assigned reading.
Cons: This is anything but an interesting class. If you enjoy being spoken to like your in grade school, then this is your class.
This class has you reading 100+ pages a night with an essay about every other week. Little time is available to really appreciate what you are reading.
Don't bother buying the recommended books "Mythic Warrior's Handbook" or "A Short Guide to Classical Mythology". They are never read and provide little insight to the subject. The latter can be somewhat helpful after you take the class, but provides little information other than what's in the texts' glossaries. The former is complete garbage, as it attempts to summarize Greek myths into modern slang. Picture your grandfather trying to be "hip" and fit in with the younger crowd. Irksome, isn't it?
