Lendon is one of the best professors I've ever had: he's extremely knowledgeable, has a great sense of humor, and, indeed, makes you work for your grade. If you are up for the challenge, I would definitely recommend taking one of his courses. You are guaranteed to learn a lot about the subject. Overall, he's a great professor.

Not the easiest class (there's a lot of reading and a lot of it is dull), but it's definitely doable if you put in the time. Lendon is an incredible lecturer. He's crazy and entertaining as all hell. I'm not a history major but I'm very glad I took this class.

Take it! In the lectures Prof. Lendon narrates the events in a very funny way with his own understandings. The discussions (with pop quizs) are all about readings (200 pages per week) Grading standard is made very clear. My TA is Nicholas and his discussions are great! It's not just bubbling, you actually learn! And he's not a hard grader!

Good professor, a lot of reading but the lecture is a good supplement to most of it. Attendance to lecture is not mandatory but go. Discussion is required, quizzes are important but don't stress over them. Lendon is a great lecturer but eccentric. I am a chem major picked the class as a lesser of 2 evils but it turned out to be almost enjoyable.

One of the harder classes you can take, nevertheless, it's quite rewarding. If you don't do the reading, you're going to have a bad time. And there is a LOT of reading.

Comment:
Lendon is very quirky but very interesting. There was A LOT of reading, to the point that I just gave up halfway through the semester. I barely did any of the readings but I went to class and memorized the IDs and ended up with a B. I would recommend taking a class with Lendon purely to witness his lecturing abilities- they are that good.

Pretty difficult class. Lendon is a wonderful lecturer, and provides students with a general overview of the material. However, you must do the reading in order to provide the in depth answers expected on the exams. Also, be sure to have the ID terms memorized prior to each weekly discussion section as pop quizzes are given randomly.

Comment:
Although he initially comes off as eccentric and a bit scary, This guy really grows on you. His Ancient Greece class is very in depth, but he lectures in a way that makes everything so much easier to understand. There is a fair amount of reading, but its pretty good stuff if you are into ancient history.

Lendon is literally the best teacher I've had at UVA. He makes the class really interesting with his passion and obvious knowledge of the things he's teaching us. The tests aren't that hard, but if you don't do any of the readings, prepare yourself to get a bad grade. Read and know the IDs and you're good for at least a B.

For all the work done outside of class, going to lecture every week makes the day. He's funny and grasps your attention. Papers are tough and reading is necessary. FOr the IDs, if you read they shouldn't be too bad but Lendon expects a lot on them.

Lendon is very smart and teaches an excellent class. You will learn a great deal, but it does require reading. Do the reading, however, because it is worth your time, and you cannot do well in the class without investing time and effort in the texts and discussions.

Comment:
Mr. Lendon is the most dynamic lecturer at the University. Roman history is already pretty interesting, but Lendon is also able to make it funny and exciting. His anecdotes at the beginning of class are second to none. The work load is heavy, however, and his exams are a bit tough. Make sure you read every weak and do your term IDs.

Hard, hard, hard, hard class. Great, great, great, great professor. If you spend all four years at UVa and don't take one of his classes, you cheated yourself.

Lendon's lectures are incredible. He talks like he's on stage at all times, and always wraps up in dramatic fashion. The class is ridiculously difficult, but if you can handle the work, it's a great class.
