Comment:

I loved Wagner's class. He's very educated, passionate and funny! He's definitely a free-thinker, so get ready to think outside the box for writing assignments. (All were pretty short) The class structure was fairly easy, just go to class, do the readings and you'll be golden. I learned a lot from his class and would easily take him again.

Comment:

Stephen Wagner offers probably the hardest but equally entertaining Humanities courses at UCO. Homework is almost daily, 2 major essays that are lengthy yet fun, and many hard quizzes. He writes all of his own work so don't expect to find the answers anywhere but in the book. He's a great guy but the course is hard. Try to take him with friends.

Professor Wagner is a wonderful professor. Yes you will have quizzes which will require you to read the book, but if you just read the material you will be fine. When he lectures be sure to take notes because information from them will be on the tests. He is truly passionate about the subject he teaches and he is there to help you when you need it.

Comment:

He is very particular but he lays it out for you in the syllabus. If you need help he will help in any ways he can. If you do poor on a quiz be sure to talk to him so you can figure out if it was a d2l issue and so you can figure out what you personally need to study. He is funny as all get up and makes learning the material fun!

One of my least favorite professors of all time! His tests are extremely difficult- averages on them were around 60 to 70s. Quizzes everyday over the readings. He is a very tough grader on essays. Avoid this professor at all costs or your grade will suffer.

Took this as a required humanities class. DO NOT Choose this professor! His tests are extremely difficult consisting of 100 questions, basically every detail you learn up to the test. You have quizzes EVERY day you go to class!! He mainly spends his time conversating with his favorites in the class rather than going over test information

Comment:

Horrible teacher. He aims this beginning Latin class toward students who took the language in high school, making it impossible for beginners to succeed in the class. He is rude and inconsiderate, and the class is obviously a joke to him. He spends the entire class time practicing for his next improv show instead of teaching.

Comment:

YES he is super quirky and funny. He is also an expert in what he teaches. That being said, my 4 & 5 k level classes are easier than his 2k level course. From Tuesday to Thursday I once had to reach 5 chapters for a quiz- 70 pages for a daily 5 question quiz. I did, but I failed the test because many details he asks are random and insignificant.

Comment:

Great professor! Best Latin professor, by far. However, he is also the hardest Latin professor. He gives weekly quizzes that are difficult. He will tell you what is going to be on them though. Listen to him. He moves fast, but he is more than willing to help. Don't take his class if you aren't willing to work or if you are thrown off by inappropriate comments/conversation.

Comment:

He's extremely knowledgeable about the material. However, he's EXCESSIVELY hard when it comes to daily quizzes and exams; e.g., we had to know how many ships sailed to Troy (1,186)and at some point, the amount of something else. The only reason I got the number of ships right, is because he told us that would be on the quiz. Reading is a must.

Wagner is hilarious! He is inappropriate at times but I didn't mind going to class everyday. His latin class is very hard but then again, so is latin. Do not take this class if you are wanting a blow off class, it's a lot of hard work. But I really enjoyed his class this semester!

Comment:

I absolutely adored this man! He takes his material seriously but keeps it fun and lively. I had him for an intersession class, so I found it hard to keep up with the reading, but it's not an unreasonable amount for a regular semester course. Fun, friendly, too smart for his own good: definitely recommend him on high!!

Comment:

I took Latin 2 and Latin Poetry-Catullus, with him. Great guy, really funny, very willing to help, very understanding (as long as you try and seek him out for help), but his class is quite hard. Spend a lot of time on your homework and ask questions (if needed), because his tests will destroy your soul if you do not. However, I love him to death!

Comment:

If you are not an expert at Latin prior to taking this class then don't take it because you will probably fail. He does not allow room for novice Latin students to make good grades. On the other hand, the class was usually fun and I laughed a lot.

Comment:

Wagner is strict but fair. He tries to get acquainted with each student, which helps the learning environment. Tests are hard, but prepare you very well. If you don't know a great deal of Latin by the time you leave his class, it's your own fault.
