Dr. Blackwell knows what he's talking about and genuinely cares that all his students succeed. He gives frequent tests but they are more knowledge checks than anything, never anything overly difficult. He's a great professor and I would definitely recommend his class.

Blackwell is the man. Classes are particularly piquant, coupled with extensive hands-on work (i.e. translating Greek) and wittily erudite anecdotes from the professor. You learn a lot of Greek, and it would be shameful to receive worse than an A-.

I LOVE this professor!! He seriously knows what he is talking about and his passion shows through. He connects with students well. Had him for Connecting Greece and Japan Mythology FYS with Dr. Yagi and it was the BEST class ever!! It was so interesting. Class is definitely a conversation you want to be a part of!!

Dr. Blackwell is a TERRIFIC professor. He REALLY knows what he's talking about, but at the same time he's humble enough to admit when he doesn't recognize a word. Class is definitely a conversation, not a lecture. Originally I was planning on just taking through NT, but now I will probably take more Greek just because he makes it so much fun!

Best professor I have ever had. Took Greek 11 purely for fun and ended up taking through New Testament Greek (22). Dr. Blackwell is caring, compassionate, extremely helpful, and makes a very difficult subject easy to comprehend. Plus, he cares about students and wants them to succeed. Well-known scholar in his field who will write you amazing recs.

Absolutely my favorite teacher of all time. It's so interesting and fun and will make you a more intelligent, well-rounded person. Greek is applicable to so many other fields - foreign language, law, history, even math :) Definitely definitely take it. Drop all your other classes if you have to.

Blackwell is one of my favorite people! He is amazing, really, and became my friend, not just my professor. Please, please take him, and you will never regret it! I took him for GREK 11-21, and I am an A.B. Classics major at CofC now (transferred from Furman..def. not Blackwell's fault though, lol)

Fabulous professor - my favorite so far at Furman. Incredibly knowledgable and always helpful. Takes the time to teach an incredibly difficult language with clarity. The book he uses moves extremely quickly, but he has enough confidence in his students to know they can handle it.

Incredible professor! Knows his stuff and has a lot of fun with it. Not many classes involve a physical reenactment of the Battle of Marathon. Clear in lecture, with plenty of "this is just fun to know" facts, and has a very laid-back attitude.
