Seaton is not very helpful, and he will laugh at you if you try to respond to a question he poses. It's impossible to give the "correct" answer. Don't bother with this class if Seaton is the prof. It's a waste of your time and your GPA.

This prof is horrible! I thought I had an understanding of the material and then I go to take the test and I do horrible! The class has only 100 points, all tests and so if you miss barely any questions you will do horrible in the class. If you ask him a question he answers with, "well what do you think" ALWAYS. People, wouldn't be asking questions if they knew the answer!!!!

Was my forth class related to mythology, in specific Greek mythology. He is not very good with the background of the stories, he confused the characters religiously. Horrible grader. Also he would ask the class about how to ask a good test question. A teacher.. TEACHES?. Only take if you love LBRL - otherwise, this is the WORST CHOICE.

Professor belittled me when I asked to meet with him to see why I got a 48% on the first exam. Basically told me I was a moron and everything he says is right. Straight A student getting a D in this class...If you're taking it for a GUR, don't. Seaton is a pompous jerk.

DONT TAKE THIS CLASS!! horrible teacher! The whole class is worth 100 points and the class average is usually about a 10 on the four tests given making your final grade not so hot. Laughs at you whenever ideas are outside of his own. If you have this class get out now!!!!

This class would be excellent, IF Mr. Seaton was banned from ever teaching again. I have never been so offended by a professor before in my life! He laughs at every concept outside of his own tiny mind and made me feel from Day One like either A, dropping the class, or B, just throwing a chair at him. I beg of you, do not take this class from him!

During registration last quarter, I saw the rating for Seaton. I did not heed to the warnings of soon to be fellow victims. This was a huge mistake. Believe me, everything that is said in his ratings are completely true, plus 100. He is a mean S.O.B. who is unbelievably inconsiderate and childish. DON'T TAKE HIS CLASS! I beg of you.

Don't be fooled by positive comments. You WILL regret taking this class. It seems like a very interesting class at first, but Seaton quickly snaps that away. If you care to study for 20 hours a week for this class and still get a B-, then I suggest this class otherwise, YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.

The material is interesting, but if you don't interpret it like he wants, get ready for a low score. Low points total makes the class somewhat challenging, but if you keep up on the reading it is not that bad. BEWARE OF HI GRADING. IT IS RIDICULOUS. DON"T EXPECT TO ACE ANYTHING.

This is by far the worst teacher that I have EVER had. We read very challanging books that he didn't explain at all and then put very pointless details on the tests. This is the ONLY class in my life where I have ever recieved a C! It's not worth it! You have been warned, I didn't listen but I hope you will!

Seaton is a jerk, plain and simple. All the other reviews sum him up pretty well so all I have to say is DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS WITH SEATON!! That is - unless you want a condescending professor who acts like he is a kindergarten teacher. I'm usually too lazy to rate professors but I'd hate for anyone to step on this landmine of GPA shrinkage.

The worst prof in my four years of college. He will ridicule you if you do not think the same way as him. Only C I EVER received in school. On one test, he FAILED (as in F) over 60% of the class. Doesn't that mean he is doing something wrong? I hope Western gets a clue and cans this jerk.

Worst Professor I have ever had. I would never recoomend taking one of his classes. If you see his name run away! He is highly opinionated and doesn't care about students at all. I loved the class but hated him. He made my learning experience unbearable. Do not take his classes you will regret it!

Studyguides do not prepare you for tests. Not enough time on tests. Many awkward pauses in class, tries to get students to answer questions, won't teach it. Unrealistic expectations. Lots of writing: inconsistent with work and difficulty level of other 100-level classes. Grades based on whimsy. Randomly marks off points. Must agree with professor.

Seaton seems like a nice guy but he is not meant to be a teacher. He is never prepared for class and only does lecture. I definitely do not recommend this teacher

I love the subject matter of the class, but Seaton is ridiculous. His study guides are useless, and he barely teaches. He just throws the information back at you. Not helpful at all. I will never take a class by him again, and I urge you to avoid his class.

This class may seem easy but it's not. The tests are practically impossible and that is all your grade is based off of. It's all based on what his opinion of the books are, not what the author is actually saying. The books are interesting but he makes them boring. Just not worth the trouble of understanding his extremely confusing opinions.

I found his teaching style contradicting and ineffective.

Ambiguous grading system, study guides are random and unrelated to his essay questions. Seaton is abrasive in person, and terse with students that don't pick up quickly on the text. He will make an example out of you, and doesn't mind letting the class sit in awkward silence while he waits for a response. Completely ineffective at communicating.

Seaton is an insanely tough grader. He expects you to remember TONS of minute details in everything you read, even though he says to only study main points. The study guides he gives barely match the tests. He's rude to his students to a ridiculous extent as well and does not provide help. Don't take this class if you can help it.

DO NOT TAKE ANY OF HIS CLASSES. He's absolutely terrible. Requires you to have previous knowledge and understanding the material. You're tested with very unclear questions and wants you to remember minute details and what his interpretation of the text was, rather than what you interpreted or what it really meant. Completely ridiculous.

You can study very hard, show up to class and still get a bad grade. He is very picky. If your thought process/wording isn't EXACTLY how he would answer (but still correct) your grade will negatively reflect this. He is also unhelpful and disrespectful to certain students. The material was interesting but not worth having to deal with him.

Very aggravating teacher. He would entice us to give our own answers to prompts in class, tell us we were wrong, and then answer the prompt in the exact same way. Furthermore he is a hard grader, not very available, not very caring for his students, and overall a rude person.

Dr. Seaton is very confusing and his tests are very hard. He lets the class just struggle along and doesn't provide his own insights even though he expects them on the test. Try to find someone else.

this is the worst. It could easily be a bible study class, or Ancient Civilizations in literature. Most test and quiz questions require you to know exact characters, actions, with no wiggle room. Religious students do very well because they have been studying this already. I'm at a loss. I see no hope for me with his teaching style. KMS

Provides a very unwelcoming environment. Whenever he asks the students discussion questions in class, he is always very dismissive of hearing their ideas. Very set in his ways.

Professor Seaton is a nightmare. He doesn't use Canvas at all so you never know what grade you have. He is also extremely slow when grading tests along with the fact that if you don't give the exact, word for word, answer he is looking for you'll get marked down. I typically like classes like this but I was so bored. Find another professor.

I would not take this class again. The course was heavily based upon the Bible in which their was no wiggle room to get names wrong. On top of this, the study guides were made and the tests didnt seem to have that many of the same questions. Missing even just one class is absolutely terrifying because you miss so much information.

The class is very boring. You learn from the books. The Holy Bible, Greek Tragedies, and The Aeneid Virgil. If you do not give exactly the "correct" wording you are wrong. Graded on attendance which is 40 points of your grade. There are 3 exams that are 100 points each as well as a final exam that is 140 points. Total possible pointa is 480.

Worst professor I've ever had. If you want to teach on historical literature and myths, you need to be willing to listen to other people's opinions and admit when you're wrong. Especially when the whole class can use both the text AND historical context to support their argument. Only B in my entire university career, straight A's otherwise.
