Greg Staley is one of the nicest guys you will meet. He is very passionate about the classics but comes off a tad pretentious at times. His lectures were quite boring in my opinion. As a bio major who took a classics class as a gen ed, I felt completely out of place. Discussions were based on classical readings we were assigned and often wandered off into other classical stories that I had never read. This left me clueless at times during these discussions. The class was not too difficult, not too much work, and the tests were fairly easy. However, about 30% of the grade was based on two group projects. Don't take his class if you do not like group projects. The group projects we're partially to blame for me not earning an A.

Professor Staley is one of the best professors I had this semester. In the future, I would take a class just because he's teaching it. He is engaging and entertaining and I enjoyed going to lecture This class is not a piece of cake but it's one of the most interesting classes I've taken my freshman year. I learned so much and would recommend it to any friend that is interested in learning something new. There is a good amount of work which also means a good amount of grades. I never did the readings, only skimmed them for the exams and the clicker questions on the readings, you can guess. Take this class!
