HIEU 2031

This course is truly fascinating. You take a deep dive into the political and social history of Ancient Greece (~2000-323 BC). That being said, it definitely demands a LOT of attention. There are copious reading assignments, mostly for discussion section. And the exams are difficult, too. Meyer was a fantastic professor and is incredibly knowledgeable. She loves teaching and is very helpful in office hours with either conceptual questions or paper edits. The professor's standards for her students are high. Yet be wary that the responsibility of upholding said standards falls on the TA, who in my case was rather inexperienced. The TA didn't offer specific feedback or explanations for grades on papers or quizzes, making it difficult to improve. However, the professor was very helpful; if you have questions and/or are looking to improve, the professor herself is your best bet.

cemented my decision to declare a history major. a lot of work, but incredibly rewarding (interesting lectures) and worth it if you enjoy ancient history. #tCFF23
