Comment:
I found Prof. Suksi to be an okay speaker. Given the length and size of the class, it was easy to zone out. The material itself is interesting, but I feel she could do more to make the material easier to digest. Exams were difficult to study for because of the amount of material to cover.

If you go to class the textbook is not required at all. Easy 4.0 class. Only complaint is that her slides are very bare and spends forever (30+ mins) on single slides and notes can jump around a lot.

Enthusiastic about her subject. Lectures are like story-time where she gives in-depth analysis of each myth we went over. I wouldn't say the textbook is essential but might help here and there. One criticism I have though is that her lecture slides can be hard to follow because they are so skeletal. She can be on 1 slide for 30mins of the 2h class

She is very kind, and passionate about classics, but her exams can be pretty tough. Fair, but tough. They definitely make you think hard. You have to go to class, as she puts the bare minimum on slides.

going to lectures is essential to passing but she makes them very enjoyable. not a lot of work and reading is not that important. sometimes gets confusing with all the greek names and words but wikipedia helps with that. overall great class that i would recommend to anyone who needs a category B or an easy and fascinating elective

Great prof! one of my favs. She literally reads the textbook to you in class. Very interesting content about ancient mythology, and her exams were very straightforward. 2 midterms and a final. The final is cumulative so don't underestimate it. Great course in general! Would recommend showing up for lectures, she's very nice and approachable too.

So, if you don't plan on going to class, or do the readings, don't take this class... I carried a 49 into the final, had to study 8 hour days for two weeks straight and went to class for the last 2 months of class. Wasn't worth it!

She provides very clear explanations and approaches each lecture with admirable passion. The course does require quite a bit of reading, but she simplifies the content and tells you exactly what you need to know. Very approachable and knowledgeable in her respected field. Such a brilliant storyteller and pleasure to have as a professor.

She seems like a really nice lady and she clearly loves what she does. If you do the readings and attend at least 85% of the classes you will definitely do well.

boring in lecture, very easy to doze off with her monotone. her tests are incredibly ambiguous. sometimes literally 4/5 of the answers could be right and you had to choose the "best" one. would never take a class of her's again.

Suksi is absolutely adorabe and a fabulous prof - however if you're planning on taking 137 as a bird course, don't. It's very intensive for a 100 level and requires a lot of reading and class attendance is mandatory if you want a half descent grade. Excellent prof tho.

AMAZING teacher. Makes the information very interesting. A lot of information especially since it's a full year course but if you go to class you'll know most of the information just by listening to her
