Comment:
Greek 101 was the only class I've ever been proud to get a B in. Lalonde is very old school and makes no secret of his high expectations, nor does he make any attempt to hide his disappointment if you don't meet them. That said, he's always willing to help you if you're having trouble and explains things well. Loved his dry wit, too.

If you ask for help, he will give it. Very relaxing classes if you want them to be, yet challenging out of class work.

Comment:
One of the coolest profs at Grinnell. He makes no secret of his high expectations, and can be impatient sometimes, but will always take time to answer questions and clarify things. He often digresses on the history or etymology of a particular point, which is nice alongside the grammar bootcamp.

A great teacher and a great man. He is willing to help-- don't be afraid to talk to him. His classes are tough, but the study of Classics isn't exactly easy... try and you'll get through okay.

Great sense of humor, knowledgeable, and pretty easygoing in his tutorial course, provided you don't slack off in discussions.

Awsome prof. Lectures are like hearing a story. Dry sense of humor. Will always help you to write a better paper. Doesn't like students who don't come prepared and try to bs their way out of it.

Greek History - Lalonde is brilliant, but DO NOT expect an easy time of it. (I don't understand 3/4 easy ratings below)

Great professor. He knows his stuff more than any other prof I've had. Bit of a monotone, but if you get past that, he's really quite witty. Very helpful - often in his office until 10-11 PM, even on weekends.
