Comment:

I was already a Classics major, but he inspired me to become a first-year composition instructor at a university, while still pursuing my artistic interests. He rapped, played instruments, and stayed consistently goofy. I only have a few characters left, so let me just emphasize this: He rapped. In Greek AND English.

Comment:

Entertaining! He makes pop references all the time, which is fun. I would be shocked if you don't love Greek Mythology by the end of this class. He covers a lot more material in class than is assigned in the reading so if you want an A it is important to be at every class. I highly recommend taking his class!

Comment:

He is a great guy-- off beat, but really funny and entertaining. He has a good time with the content and doesn't take it too seriously. You will always laugh in class and learn something new. Its a fresh twist on the Classics

This guy is awesome and really funny. He sang songs about the plays we read, and let us watch Strongbad emails at the beginning of class. We had a quiz every day, which wasn't bad as long as you did the reading.
