She is a very passionate and kind professor, but this class is too much work for a gen ed. Do not take this class with her if you are looking for an easy class to fill your schedule. There are a lot of readings, assignments, and things you have to memorize. The topics are pretty interesting though, and she does a pretty good job going through all of the material. The exams are a lot of writing, and you have to memorize such minor details about the lectures or readings, such as people's names, a random city's name, etc. |

WHAT ARE YOU DOING, TAKE HER CLASS!!! This is a really good class to take for elective credit or for a DSHU, SCIS credit She is honestly an amazing professor, her last 2 midterms have been very reasonable and it works well with what the class been teaching. Same for everything else, you just need to do the work and go to class or even if you don't go to class you can understand from her slides. The assigned reading and response every week is basically the only homework you will have and I LOVE THAT. There are assigned type of readings that she would let you know of that will prepared you for class but you don't really have to do it, she gives a good brief summary during her lecture. The TAs are also very nice and useful. Just a great overall class, honestly my favorite class of the semester I am glad I'm taking it. You can just tell when she talks she really enjoys what she's teaching and just her positive light attitude matched with her humor makes just listening to her talk interesting and what you learn get into your head more. The midterms are also very much based on what she teaches and she gives you ample time and does well with preparing you and making sure you will do great. You just gotta learn and try! |

Dr. Graf is great. Her lectures are genuinely interesting. This class has a hefty amount of reading, but she gives a lot of context in lectures that you can get by on. There is only 1 written assignment a week based on the readings, only 300-400 words. The midterm was pretty simple if you study good, and there is an essay. Ours was meant to be written in-class due to AI, but it ended up being online because of the extended Thanksgiving break. In the future, though, i'm sure it will be in person. The final is a combination of the midterm and this handwritten essay, we shall see how that goes. |

One of the most amazing and fun professors that I have ever had, teaching one of the most amazing and fun courses I have ever taken! Professor Graf makes sure that you're able to fully understand the source material and leaves plenty of room for discussion. The class just feels intellectual. Really made me wish I had the time to pursue classics. |

Professor Graf is a very knowledgeable and helpful person. She wants all of her students to be engaged and excited about learning. She is very helpful to any questions and I definitely recommend this class. The readings can be a little but challenging but she posts context for most stories to make it a little bit easier. The midterm was easy and she gives lots of notice and study tips. There is only one assignment per week and it is very manageable. |

Good teacher, fun class, but if you are taking a gen ed humanities and want something fun and easy, look elsewhere. Lot of reading, and every assignment requires you do the readings. Sometimes she will assign a reading and give you extra time since it's "a lot" and then not do that for the next week which has twice as much for you to read. Annoying, but don't take this as your last 3 credits in an overloaded semester, you'll come to hate Wednesdays. |
