Reviews of professor Theodore Pena

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Pena is an excellent professor who is both knowledgeable and passionate about Roman archaeology. His feedback is nuanced, helpful, and inspiring (once he spent 45 minutes answering a single question of mine in office hours!). I would be genuinely surprised if there is anyone who knows more than he does about Pompeii and Herculaneum!

Professor Peña is by far the weakest link in the Classics Department at UC Berkeley. He is arrogant, self-impressed, and has no interest in engaging his students. His paper assignments are wordy, confusing, and disorganized. The feedback he gives, if any, is unhelpful. Yet, he still grades harshly. Stay away from his classes!

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
One of the best professors in the field. Quality instruction, research, and immune to nonsense while rewarding hard workers.
