2 quizzes, 2 exercises, midterm, and final. Just take notes and do the readings and you'll be fine. Exercises are 25% of your grade each and you're basically guaranteed 100% on them as long as you follow the instructions. It's your fault if you don't get an A in this class. Karl is hilarious & makes class worth going to. Lectures end early a lot

Professor Squitier is an easygoing professor. There are 4 presentations and a final, all of which he gives very clear instructions for. He really tries his best to help everyone succeed in the class. Students take notes on other presentations, but this is just to boost your grade. The presentations are very short and super casual. An easy 100 class

My favorite professor in college so far. I took him twice (greek myth and ancient eats). Show up everyday, participate, and he'll grow to like you. Finished both classes with A+ (Im a 3.3 GPA student). Ancient Eats has no tests! you do group projects and eat food! He's a great story teller!

One of the best Professors I've ever had! The class is pretty lecture heavy. Make sure to take notes and pay attention. There were only two assignments and two exams. Other than that the class is really easy. Make sure you participate because he really likes it when students engage with the conversation. This best class I have ever taken!

I really looked forward to coming to his lectures. The class was pretty easy with moderate studying. Some people are not as into history as me but I saw this class as very interesting and easy. My grade was somewhere above a 96%. You're graded on a 2 quizzes, 2 tests, and 2 essays. Looking forward to taking another class with him again!

Both exercises are easy. Quizzes are easy. But the midterm and the final can be a little difficult. His lectures are more like storytelling and you have to make sure you get everything down. Hes a chill guy.

I took Greek Mythology with him, and it was great! The class really isnt hard but you do need to show up to take REALLY GOOD NOTES! Basically anything he says in class can show up on the exams. He also gives 2 assignments but he is very clear on what he wants so you cant really go wrong on it. Totally recommend because you do learn a lot!

Pretty good class. 2 quizzes, 2 exercises, the midterm and final. The exercises are super easy, but I did struggle on the midterm and final. Definitely make sure to take in depth notes during lectures because both tests are focused on the notes. Squitier is hilarious and I would definitely taker another class by him again!

His class is like sitting in during a storytelling. His lectures are always informative and interesting, write down everything he says! Two short and easy quizzes and exercises. Multiple choice midterm and final. He always tells you what to expect from him and the class. A great professor!

Karl is hilarious, I had him for CLSC101 and even though I knew a lot about Greek myth before I took the class I learned so much more because he is so intelligent and knowledgable. He's old school but you can tell he knows exactly what he's talking about, taking his class is like listening to a long story, all the lectures connect very well.

Karl is hilarious! He makes all of his lectures super interesting and easy to understanding. Homework in this class is extremely rare and there are only a couple quizzes/tests. Going to class is not mandatory but everything on his test and quizzes are from his lectures, which he does not post online. I would definitely take him again!

Don't buy the books. Just find them on sparknotes or something. Make sure you right everything down he says in lecture. The assignments that he assigns are REALLY easy, as long as you follow the guideline. His tests were harder than expected, but if you take good notes and read them thoroughly, you'll be fine

Really easy. Didn't even use the books/packet . 4 GROUP investigations presented on ppt. Really simple, everybody is graded individually. Pretty funny guy and nice, but got some hearing issues, so speak up. Learned some interesting things. It's mostly a class effort, we 'teach'' each other on civilizations & he adds on, in depth.

Comment:

Basically graded on 4 "investigations" just a little research done in class and presented by group. No work done outside class. Prof. Squitier is funny, caring, and genuinely wants his students to enjoy what they are learning. Honestly, wish I saved this class for later on because of how relaxed it is. I would definitely take with a hard schedule.

So he's nice enough. He says he will give extra credit if you participate but that's not true. He has to know your name. So make sure you talk to him before or after then he will remember you. Don't miss class! And the quizzes are not straightforward. think outside the box

Comment:

I was in his CLSC 100 class, studying the ancient civilizations. A lot of the work was investigating cultures on your own and then sharing with the class in a group presentation. His course really helps you see that we have not changed much in the thousands of years that we have been here; oh and he's also into the idea of ancient aliens.
