he integrated the lecture pretty well, lots of possible extra credit, as long as you do the reading, u dont realli need to go to lecture; he was sporadically funny=) which was cool. he tries to give lots of hints during slide exams; take this class for an easy g.e.! as long as you put in a few hrs before exams and kinda keep up with the reading, it shouldnt be hard to get an A~

Fall 2018 - I feel terrible for saying this, but good lord is this class boring. I had 100% interest and investment when it began, and it so quickly faded just one week in. You will not do well if you're not great at memorization/slide ID's. I wish the professor would rework the class so the students would have a chance to engage with the material rather than blindly memorize and later forget it.

Course - Minoan Art and Archaeology Professor Papadapoulos was one of the best professors I've ever had at UCLA. I went into the course with a very mild interest in Minoan culture and left feeling like I'd learned more in 10 weeks than I had in any class before. His lectures are fun, engaging, and he's truly a nice guy. He cares very deeply that his students do well and always answers emails within a couple of hours if contacted before evening. The textbook probably wasn't necessary, but I still enjoyed the reading (especially because it really prepared me for lecture, as he divulges a lot of information really quickly and I wrote like a madwoman for an 1 hr and 15 min straight). He includes plenty of opportunity for extra credit in the midterm and final, which were only slide identification. Spend a lot of time on your research paper (I've heard he can be a tough grader on this one), allow yourself a couple of days to memorize the necessary slides, and there's no reason you shouldn't do well. I got 99%s on every assignment and it was probably my easiest class this quarter.

Professor Papadopoulos is probably the best lecturer of any professor I have had at UCLA. He is very organized and is extremely fair with his grading. The midterm was slide IDs and a short essay. PS: during the slides he gives hints to what it is. If you go to lecture you are set for the midterm and final.
