Fantastic class, Lendon is definitely one of the most entertaining teachers, and possibly the greatest lecturer, at the school. Its a lot of work, but I fully recommend this guy for the lectures and the information you learn. If you don't have the time, at least audit it.

Don't let his animated, goofy lecture style fool you into thinking that this class is awesome. While Lendon delivers entertaining lectures, most of the readings assigned are heavy and dull.
Readings are an essential part of the course. You will get a low grade unless you read all the readings carefully and take good notes in every class.

Lendon is an amazing lecturer, and the readings are quite interesting if you are interested in the subject matter, though can be heavy. By no means an easy class, but one of the best I have ever taken.

2 7-pg papers, a midterm, and final mean a lot of writing, and you have at least 200 pages of reading a week - usually a few bits scattered around various source material and then most of a novel on the subject. So it's a lot of work, but it's totally worth it - Lendon is easily the best lecturer I've had so far at this university, and the phalanx drill is a great opportunity - don't miss out on a legendary class because you're afraid of the work. Also, definitely fight to get Paul Belonick as your TA he is fantastic - he has great storytime/legal advice at the beginnings of discussion and he's not afraid to disagree with Lendon's theories

Amazing class. Lendon is one of UVA's best lecturers, though he is decidedly not the easiest. Sadly, Belonick will no longer be TAing, so no more chances to have him. One of the best TAs I have had.

Fantastically fun class. A bit of work and difficult tests, but a great ride.

Lendon makes this course. He is a very enthusiastic and engaging lecturer. He has a reputation for being difficult, but not unreasonably so. If you do the readings and put in a good amount of work for the exams and essays, you'll be all right.

As Prof. Lendon would say, Greek and Roman Warfare is f***ing awesome. He is one of the best lecturers I have had, always starts class off with a funny anecdote. The topic is awesome, I mean common, you learn about warriors kicking ass. Very reading intensive, but it is all cool readings. Lendon's book is a great read. Read and study, and it is worth it, if you are a lazy bum, skip the class.

Interesting subject material made even more so by the dynamic lecturing of Lendon. Certainly not an easy course, two essays and difficult mid-term and final; however, well worth it if you're interested in the topic or if you're a history major.

Best professor I've had at UVA. Hilarious and engaging. But if you don't like to do readings, DO NOT take this class because the exams are mainly based on the readings, and there are a lot of them. Awesome class if you have any interest in the subject.
