Comment:
Unclear grading, lots of reading, and tests are brutal BUT she does tell you what will be on it. Expect lots of memorization, down to dates and sources. However the reward is one of the absolutely most fascinating classes you can take; each lecture is absolutely wonderful to listen to, especially from one of the pioneer's of the field.

Comment:
Absolutely loved ancient medicine seminar with Dr Phillips, granted admission into the class is very difficult. The course is research based so everyone is required to research a topics in classical medicine and present their research in a 40 minute presentation. While the class seems intimidating, you will be prepared and is a free A

Comment:
Two midterms split by only one week, a final, and a final paper. You have to memorize everything on the outlines for the exams plus be able to cite readings. It's a lot of work, but you can get an A if you work for it. Getting an A gets you an invitation to her seminar in the spring.

She is sweet, smart and teaches a good class. Like a lot of Latin/Classics professors she is also very weird. You get used to it.

She's a wonderful professor. She's very clear, her lectures are interesting, and she hands out detailed outlined. This class is extremely hard. Know everything (I mean everything) on the outlines. If you do well on the midtern (get an A), you can get into a seminar.

She knows her stuff, she's extremely organized, pays individual attention. An excellent grammar review, and the material will stay with you. Good class.

She is a wonderful teacher, one of my favorites this semester. She expects the perfect amount out of the students. In the 21 class, we read Cicero slowly, while reviewing grammar. At the end of the term. She is extremely nice, accomadating, and quite germ conscious.
