Reviews of professor Mariapia Pietropaolo

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She makes ancient readings so interesting to learn about! You don't necessarily have to keep up with the readings to know what's going on in them, as she always goes over the material. There are 2/3 online quizzes - 20 MCQs, light work. The TAs are great as well!

If youre interested in the topic, shell get you even more excited! Shes a great lecturer and gives you a great summary of the readings (so you can afford to be a little behind). She doesnt however post/podcast the lectures (but as long as you do readings or get the notes youll be fine). The assignments and exam were fair, would recommend!

interesting readings and very engaging lectures. assignments are well formatted and she makes sure her instructions are clear. both her and the TAs are available outside of class and give good feedback.

I enjoyed the content, but I was not overly fond of the lecture style. Almost entirely verbal with slides only used to show pictures, be prepared to take notes in class, or be ready to make a friend who will send you notes. Exam is entirely written - no multiple choice (2 essays, and 4 explanations). There is also a lot of reading.
