Spring 2019 - If you've taken Classics 10 and put in your work for the research paper this class is a piece of cake. The midterm and final are both based around memorizing terms from given study guides, and Dr. Morris grades both really leniently (especially if you go to her office hours). The mean for the final was a 97% and she took a day to grade them so I'm not sure if she even really read them completely, or just checked for effort. The research paper mean was also around a 90%. Dr. Morris gives good feedback but a lot of times just doesn't take off points for your mistakes, which is great. You might have to do a bit more work if you aren't familiar with basic information like Greek geography, but overall I can't see anyone doing too poorly in the class.

One of the most boring lectures I've been to. She's very knowledgeable on the subject, but failed to engage my interest. As people have been saying, lecture is completely unnecessary to attend as she posts midterm and final guides that don't really require the lecture notes. Plus, she writes all the information at the bottom of the slides and you can't read them unless if you're in the front row. Fairly easy grader though. Overall, I would avoid taking a course with her if I could.
