Reviews of professor Frederic Clark

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I skipped a lot of lecture/readings, which made exams and papers stressful, but I still did fine. Content on exams was very fair and well-communicated in advance, and Clark and his TAs are very nice and enthusiastic about the topic! Lenient grading on papers and participation. A lot of assigned readings, but then again, it is a GE-H.

Really enjoys what he teaches. He's very helpful with guiding you on the papers for the class. The material is easy to follow along with

This class has only 2 papers (5 page midterm, 10 page final) and a midterm test. The midterm may be difficult if you don't read or listen in class so make sure to pay attention. I loved Professor Clark and he was a very fun teacher who cared about each student and wanted to make the class enjoyable. Highly recommend to take for your GESM.

He loves what he teaches. Only one short paper (5 pages), one long paper (10 pages), and one exam. Readings help you learn interesting stuff about the Roman Empire.

So passionate about the topic. Suuuper energetic and suuper wholesome, very quirky. Cared a lot about students. Sometimes the material wasn't the most interesting but maybe that's because I'm not super big on Classics, but I definitely developed a finer appreciation for it after this class! His class will not fail to make you smile :D

"If I didn't read all semester, the final exam might give me a little trouble." "But would you fail?" "Nah, I'd ace." The student asked, "Do you teach CLAS151 because you're Prof Clark? Or are you Prof Clark because you teach CLAS151?" "Stand proud," said Prof Clark. "You're smart. But throughout Heaven and Earth, I alone am the Roman one."

He is very passionate about teaching. 2 papers and 2 exams. Depends a lot on the TA you get. Ask TA for feedback. A lot of reading each week. I did not go to a single lecture and did not do a single reading, so preparing for the exams were a little difficult. Still did fine but recommend going to lectures and doing readings. Great person overall.

Professor Clark is an absolute gem - humble, sweet, and intelligent. I loved his class last sem. However, the material can get boring. You'll be studying Gibbon's book on the Roman empire, but professor does a good job to only give out digestable chunks as reading. 1 paper, 1 midterm, and 1 final paper were all. Great grading and feedback.

Great GE. Go to discussion bc the TAs explain the lecture and pick out what really matters. Readings aren't super necessary and you can teach yourself all the content the week before the tests. Pure memorization for tests and a little bit of analytical thinking for the short papers.
