Took Greek101 at the UofA during fall and was a really nice class. Prof B. is a really helpful, clear and still funny teacher but I got to say that there is a lot of time consuming hw. Not hard tho but u'll need something like 2hrs of work a day to write out the exercises and prepare for the 50 quizzes of the semester !

Prof. Bauschatz is good teacher, does a good job of holding your attention in a large lecture class. A lot of reading and analyzing, I'd compare it to an English class in that sense. Only take this course if you have the patience for a long reading assignment each day, and enjoy greek mythology. He also provides Lecture guides which are very useful

An AMAZING teacher and hilarious! However, there is a lot of reading and a lot of it can be 50+ pgs a night which can be hell. But the tests are easy as long as you generally read and follow the powerpoints he puts on D2L. But, you should go to class and take notes because there are pop quizzes for attendance. Great class though!

He is a great teacher! Really funny and keeps your attention

Great class. Prof B makes the material fun and interesting. The reading is a little much, but as long as you just skim the material you will do fine on the tests.

intersting class but A TON of reading.

He makes the lectures fun & keeps everyone's attention. There is a lot of reading and a couple short essays, but it was my favorite class this semester because of his teaching. He really understands classics and gets very into the lectures (he even gave a lecture pretending he was Julius Caesar). Great professor! I definitely recommend him!

His lectures would be boring if he didnt crack so many jokes in between. He's so hilarious it makes you want to go to lectures! I actually looked forward to classes just to see what kind of jokes he would make. lots of readings though. but just sparknote it and you'll be good. gives lecture guides which help a lot. overall easy class!

Great professor! Extremely hillarious but he assigns way too much reading. He has pop quizzes and goes through the lecture material more thoroughly than what you see in the power points so you should go to class and take notes. A lot to know for the test with the lecture notes and all of the readings.

DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS. The time this GenEd sucks up isn't worth it. Lectures are fun and entertaining, but cover a lot of material and his tests are extremely difficult. There's a TON of reading that MUST be kept up with. There are 5 random pop quizes, so you could just plain get unlucky. A 70 IS A D+ AN 80 IS A C+ AND A 90 IS A B+. NOT WORTH IT!!!

He's an amazingly funny teacher who really knows the language well. Although he keeps an extremely tedious class fun, I wouldn't recommend it unless you are extremely dedicated to learning Classic Greek. The language itself is incredibly difficult, even with the best teacher. Despite the 2hr/night workload and endless quizzes, I enjoyed his class.

Greatest class ever. Highly entertaining, and very funny

Funny and makes it really interesting. If the class is good he will help you guys out A LOT!!

class- super easy. Yes, it is alot of reading, but can guess on the quizzes- use common sense,read the first few pages. I got an A. The reason most dont is due to out of 100 pts.papers are easy, and you can BS.would write in 30 mins the night before. Test are super easy. Look over notes. Don't have to attend,have friends and get notes.Funny guy

going into this class i thought it was going to be so hard, but as the class went on i was gettin A's on all the tests and papers. the hardest part was the quizzes so stay on top of them, but do them with a friend and you will have no problem getting an A!

Prof B is awesome. I hate this topic but he makes the class cool. You dont have to read, but going everyday is important. Its the only real way to know the stuff needed for the 3 exams (1 Final) and 2 Papers. Its easy if you go most of the time.

Fun class, keeps lectures entertaining.Lots of material.Attendance not mandatory but necessary.Exams can be tricky.You may understand general concepts ok but the exams covers the little details.Online quizzes sucked.Papers were ok,not too hard.Exams will be hard if you dont study your *** off.But I would take his class again.

Professor Bauschatz is one of the best profs at the university. The homework is intense, but Bauschatz grades fairly and is super helpful; clearly wants his students to succeed. Ancient Greek is tough, but Bauschatz makes the material so much fun. I would continue with Greek 201/2 if I wasn't graduating (as long as he was teaching it).

He's really cool and presents the material in a fun and clear way.

One of the best classes I've ever had. The professor will have you laughing everyday and make the class fun while you learn. Hes extremely high energy, and on the last day of class everyone was clapping and cheering for him.Only 2 exams,rest 10question online quizes,2 short papers.thats the class.

Amazing professor! Incredibly funny and just an all around awesome class. You have to do a bit of work but its totally worth it.

Great teacher who loves what he teaches, making his lectures entertaining and easy to listen too. I always laughed so hard in his class! Attendance is suggested for notes, which are crucial for success on the exams. 2 exams, a final, 2 papers, and online weekly quizzes. Papers were quite easy, study for exams, and skim for quizes. TAKE THIS CLASS!

Dr. Bauschatz is an awesome lecturer. He gets a ton of information across while being funny and ridiculous and keeping it interesting. That said, you have to pay close attention in this class and take good notes - it's not a class you can breeze through with no effort. If you put in the effort (pay attention and study for tests) it's an easy class.

He is a delightful professor & insanely knowledgeable about the world of Classics. I kept my notebook from this class for future CLAS courses & it's been indispensable. One of the best people in the department, for sure.

Fantastic, easy class. He is a great teacher who is very charismatic and really cares about the subject matter. Your grade is based on attendance, reading quizzes (the reading can be a bit lengthy but it's usually interesting) and three short papers based on the reading, which basically write themselves. Definitely recommend this class!

Ancient Greek is an extremely confusing language. However, Professor Bauschatz is the best for the job. He makes puns and learning fun. Overall, one of my favorite professors.

Dr. Bauschatz is easily one of the best professors working at the University of Arizona. He was helpful, kind, and extremely understanding. He made learning Ancient Greek accessible and fun. I would highly recommend him for anyone wishing to take ancient Greek or anything in Classics.

I missed a test due to illness and professor Baushchatz was kind and understanding. I was allowed a re-test whenever I felt better. Great guy.

Prof B. is a funny, clear, and organized lecturer which made this class not only reasonably easy, but very interesting as well. You'll have to study HARD for the tests, but there are 4 of them, 3 short papers, and reading quizzes every week + extra credit so you have plenty of opportunities to do well. It's a decent amount of work but a good class

Ur gonna wanna hold on to ur hat for this one. I just finished my last damn assignment for this class and I dont think I've ever been a happier person. And im not being dramatic here people. And suure you could stick your head up inside a butchers ass, but wouldn't you rather take my word for it? Just sayin, its too late for me but save yourselves.

To all prospective takers of the ONLINE Classics 160D3: Crime and Punishment in the Ancient World, This class was the worst experience of my college career. I have never been so miserable in my life. The readings were excruciatingly boring and took hours to comprehend. I got an A in the course after spending 8 hours to complete every assignment.

Dr Bauschatz is easily my favorite professor at the U of A. He does his best to make every lecture funny and a little bit interesting, and gives tons of extra credit opportunities. There are weekly reading quizzes (can just look up answers on the internet), 3 short papers, and 4 exams(one is the non-comp final). Great class, great professor, easy A

Bauschatz is actually hilarious. He is so entertaining in his lectures and he doesn't have a monotone voice. He gives plenty of extra credit, just do it.. you'll probably get credit even if it isn't one of his favorites. Don't take the quizzes for granted; try to remember to do all of them! I don't normally like history but this class is great!

I got an A on all 3 tests and an A on 23 papers. I thought I was guaranteed an A in the class BUT I got a B because I got an 85 on the final which is 15 of your entire grade. Good class content but study extra for the final(which was less like the study guide than the other tests). He won't bump your grade if you're one percent away.

Professor Bauschatz gives good feedback which is especially helpful in an online class. One piece of advice, if there is only one due date for all assignments, as there was for my online class, DO NOT PROCRASTINATE. Do the work in a timely manner and it will be an easy and rewarding class! Learned a respectable amount.

Class was pretty good, other raters have summed it up well. Just wanted to add that for Spring he made us buy his $100 book that had maybe 3 readings in the syllabus, and if we didnt cite it we would fail one of the essays. Just a heads up - you can't get out of buying the book, he's destroyed the loopholes.

Very good professor. He makes the lectures interesting and fun for students. He knows that the lectures can get boring so he throws in some jokes. Interesting course material for those who enjoy history. Its tough, but in a good way. Completing work gives a sense of accomplishment. Loved this class.

Dr. Bauschatz is a funny, and nice person. However, it requires hard work to get an A. But he gives plenty of extra credits opportunities.

This dude is actually really funny. Im a hard kid to impress but this guy does it. Im not a good studier or reader and you definitely need both of those for this class. I dont do either and ill probably end up wih a C or D honestly. The material is pretty interesting though. Ton of reading. Weekly reading quizzes. 4 tests. TON of fun extra credit

Professor Bauschatz is a cool guy and makes the lectures more entertaining even though the material is boring. You don't have to read just google questions each week for online quiz but he makes you cite his book in one of the papers so you have to buy it,tests are straight from study guide just copy slides and he does take attendance/patricipation

Bauschatz is an amazing professor. He gives hilarious, interesting lectures and there isn't much homework. The readings weren't totally essential- it's mostly common sense on quizzes. You have to study hard for tests, but there aren't many. TAKE THIS CLASS! You'll learn a lot.

He is really good teacher and person, funny, really funny, makes boring lec interesting. Even if i am getting an A , still, it is the hardest class that i've ever took.

You need to go to class everyday because of "clicker questions" (he has you use an app). Tests are easy with matching, definitions and a short essay section. He offers fun extra credit opportunists during the year. It is mainly memorization of terms. You do that and you'll do fine. I only bought the book he wrote for the essay assignment citations.

John's a hilarious guy that tries his best to make a dull subject bearable. There's 4 tests, including the final, and 3 essays. The essays are easy and as long as you study the tests should be a problem either. Also offers a ton of extra credit so if you don't do well on one of the tests don't worry about it.

I absolutely loved Professor Bauschatz. He is funny, personable and extremely clear in what he wants students to know. Though the tests are pretty lengthy, if you listen during lectures you'll be fine. He doesn't require you to remember dates and offers MANY opportunities for extra credit. I would highly recommend taking any class with Bauschatz.

Professor Bauschatz has been my favorite professors. He makes his lectures entertaining and offers a lot of creative extra credit. You will ace the class as long as you take notes and do a bit of studying before the exams. The papers are short and straight forward. He's great about answering emails. Overall, I would take a course with him again.

The class is very different based on the teacher and subject (changes every semester). Proff. B basically designed so you read a primary source and then discuss it every class and on Fridays you take a short quiz and post in a discussion instead of physically going to class. Three short essays. Proff. B is funny and the class an easy A

I loved this class! Professor Bauschatz is hilarious, an I enjoyed going to class every day. He's always there to help.

Prof Bauschatz is extremely funny guy and actually makes you want to come to class. He does take attendance through an online system, but if you're there it should not be an issue. The papers are super easy, if you do the study guide and review it a couple times you should get at least an A or B in the class. Extra credit opportunities are often

This teacher is really cool, but for me at least it was really hard. There are 3 writing assignments which aren't that hard, but i thought they were graded hard. The tests are really really hard and will need to study for them a lot!!!

there are three papers in this class, weekly quizzes on readings, and 4 major tests. Professor B is really funny and makes class fun. There are a lot of extra credit opportunities so take them!

Show up to class (it's 5% of your grade), participate, take notes, study a week before the test, and you should be fine. Bauschatz' lectures are engaging and he has numerous extra credit opportunities throughout the semester. Nice introductory level course.

This class was veryyyyy hard. The teacher is funny so it wasn't that bad in actually class but the tests require a good amount of studying to do well on them. The weekly quizzes are hard since you have to actually read if you want to do well since the answers are not online lol but he offers so many extra credit opportunities literally do them all

One of the best/most difficult classes. Prof B is entertaining in class and gives plenty of opportunity for extra credit (most are forms of embarrassment, but will get you up an entire letter grade!). As far as excuse emails and talking to him in person, he can be kind of an ass. Buy the book, and use your common sense of the online quizzes. STUDY!

Great teacher, so funny and lectures are never boring. Must be exactly on time to class to get attendance credit, which matters a lot. Participation is a lot of your grade. Tests are very difficult and papers are graded hard. Must do all of the reading and study a ton.

Professor Bauschatz is hilarious, does a fantastic job making the lectures funny, and is very nice and understanding. He is especially nice to talk to during office hours. Only problem is the awful annoying exams and homework. Lots of quizzes and difficult exams.

Professor Bauschatz is fun, but does not sacrifice learning at the same time. If you go to office hours and submit your essays as rough drafts first, you should be fine. There is a discussion every week, three essays, and weekly quizzes. The readings Are lengthy, and Im retaking this course this summer because I had a bad semester outside of class

He gives the best feedback on assignments that I have ever seen in my entire academic history. Quick to respond to emails as well. But this class has a ridiculous amount of reading, and some of it is pretty dull. Would not recommend taking this class if you are not somewhat interested in the subject matter (Roman history).

He obviously is very caring and interested in the subject that he teaches. He gives great lectures and you will really learn a lot from his class. A TON of reading though- don't take this class if you can't handle a lot of reading.

Fun lectures, hilarious dude. Makes every class interesting

Solid choice for a class. Prof Bauschatz is a funny guy and makes the class interesting. Test are long and given in a short period of time so study. Extremely reading heavy!!

A really fun professor that holds up the class to a higher level. For history lovers, the jokes make the subject even more interesting and fun, and for those who find it dull, Professor Bauschatz instills life into even the most boring parts of history.

Really enjoyed his class. Does his best to make the content fun during the lecture. Is super engaging and gives lots of extra credit opportunities. The reading can be time-consuming but is do-able. Very understanding, also.

He was great! I took this class the first semester of my freshmen year and he was such a good introduction to the UofA. His classes only consist of lectures which one may decide is a very bad thing but he makes them so funny, you can't help but stay attentive. I want to take another one of his classes so badly! I highly recommend!

Mr. Bauschatz was an amazing teacher who was clearly passionate about Ancient Greece and Rome, which made the course extremely interesting. His sense of humor always brightened everyone's day.

I rated him before and honestly I was a little rough, he's a funny dude and does his best to make things interesting during class but some of the software and websites used in the class are not user friendly at all. People are right when they say there's a good bit of reading though.

For a GE, this class is a bit of work and if you don't like to learn it's probably not for you. I did enjoy learning the material but the weekly readings are long and a bit boring if they're from the online textbooks. However, if you stick to the study guides it's not hard to get a solid A on the exams because everything on there is on the tests.

This class is alright, probably would help if you cared about the subject matter. There are three short papers, and the rest of the grades are participation and a quiz every week. There is also a required textbook that costs over $100, written by the professor. This class was alright

Dr. Bauschatz is a cut and dry type of grader for tests. Dr. Bauschatz shows passion for the study of Classics. Keep up with the coursework and you should be fine with him. Dr. Bauschatz gives excellent feedback on exams and is also very helpful in explaining complicated linguistic phenomenon. He is a great teacher!

Bauschatz is a really amazing professor, but you have to CARE. Yes, he's a tough essay grader but if you submit a rough draft and edit it with his suggestions you'll easily get an A. If you show an ounce of care he will help you out. He has a very sarcastic and dry sense of humor, which can come off wrong, but he's actually hilarious if you listen

i really loved Bauschatz' class, he's really passionate and makes the lectures really entertaining. however the course is really reading-heavy, there's a weekly quiz and three essays over the semester - as long as you submit a draft for the essay he will give the feedback you need to bring it up to an A - if you engage Bauschatz is great!

This man is truly one of the nicest and most caring, genuine people I've ever learned from. His class is far from an easy one, but he really makes you think and pushes you to the next level. His feedback on papers (In HIST 303, Crime and Punishment in Ancient World) was tough but very fair. He is really an outstanding professor.

I somewhat agree with other comments in that his sense of humor is not for everyone, but people are exaggerating. He is just really blunt in calling out weak and unresearched points, yet fair. Yes, he could be a little more professional but he gives you clear feedback on drafts to improve before the deadline and outlines the structure he wants.

Really engaging and funny lecturer. Lots of memes in the slides. Just do your work in advance, and follow his feedback from the drafts. He can be harsher on paper, than he is in person but only if you slack off, which is fair.

I was in HIST 204, as first year student, overall Bauschatz is an amazing professor, I loved attending his class and I found him to be engaging but also quite informational but I could understand why some people could dislike his quite whimsical way of teaching. If you like having an informational and entertaining class then I 100% recommend.

Prof. Bauschatz (bow-shots) is one of the best professors at UA. He's enthusiastic, passionate, and his office hours are the one of the most supportive places on campus. His papers are difficult for sure, he gives heavy feedback. But don't let that intimidate you! He's such a cool person to learn from and be around. I really enjoyed his class.

Professor Bauschatz gave some of the most entertaining and engaging lectures I've ever seen. Students were encouraged to ask questions and engage with the material. His feedback on papers was also extremely thorough and helpful. Just make sure to participate, pay attention, and do the quizzes, and you'll do well.

The professor is engaging, but the course is reading-heavy. Utilize resources like Unstuck AI and stay on top of the weekly quizzes and essays to succeed.

Participation is VERY heavily graded and you have to talk 2x a class to get credit for participation. The papers are short in length but you must read the readings assigned to complete them. His grading can be a bit harsh but you have the chance to submit a draft and rewrite one paper. Overall he's really funny and entertaining lectures

Participation is about 30% of your grade. You can get A's on everything, but if you don't raise your hand, you won't do well. Everyone is trying to grab points, so it can be difficult to chime in on discussions. He is a super funny professor and is known to give pretty blunt essay feedback, but you get to revise your paper drafts before submitting.

The Goat and gave us snacks on the last day of class. Super funny and engaging.

Took this professor before and he was just as great this semester too. Key to having a good experience in his class is putting in an effort and caring about the material. Only has 2 essays and he gives great feedback if students want to submit 1 of them for a revision grade. He is also hilarious and gives great insight to the lecture topics.

NOT A 200 LEVEL CLASS!! For its level, reading is insane and work criteria is absolutly nuts (example: 500 word paper, but must be strickly 3 paragraphs only, and required to have 15 citations (5 per paragraph)- but he wants more! His expectation is multiple wanted per scentence!). Feedback is sometimes useless. Cool teacher, but brutal classroom.

Bauschatz had an entertaining course and I personally enjoyed his lectures a lot. Attendance and participation is a huge part of your grade though. If you don't participate you probably will fail the class, so keep that in mind before taking him.
