He is NOT a good prof. but his class is extremely easy and he always lets you out early. His tests are confusing and difficult even if you have read and studied. If you suck up and he likes you, you have a guaranteed A.. if he doesn't know you, you will get a B or C.. it doesn't matter what your test grades are. He's pretty unfair.

Awesome professor! There are easy A homework assignments if you follow the guidelines, quizzes, some reading the book/online articles and the midterm is easy. Final is a bit challenging, but if you do all of the assignments, read the notes you take in EVERY LECTURE because EVERYTHING IS FROM WHAT HE LECTURES (no power points, all verbal), then A.

Everything that he tests you on are his lectures. I didn't go to class as much because I took it C/NC. It's very easy class though. Two exams, midterm and final. Two quizzes, easy. And two easy assignments. Just follow the guidelines and read the books, it'll be easy. Attendance isn't mandatory, but it's be helpful to go. He's really funny too.

I loved this class. Lectures were always entertaining and it's definitely simple to get an A in this class. There were two quizzes, two papers, and one midterm and final. I didn't buy any of the books required for this class because they were all easy to find online. 10/10 recommend.

I was in his CLSC 100 class, studying the ancient civilizations. A lot of the work was investigating cultures on your own and then sharing with the class in a group presentation. His course really helps you see that we have not changed much in the thousands of years that we have been here; oh and he's also into the idea of ancient aliens.

So he's nice enough. He says he will give extra credit if you participate but that's not true. He has to know your name. So make sure you talk to him before or after then he will remember you. Don't miss class! And the quizzes are not straightforward. think outside the box

Basically graded on 4 "investigations" just a little research done in class and presented by group. No work done outside class. Prof. Squitier is funny, caring, and genuinely wants his students to enjoy what they are learning. Honestly, wish I saved this class for later on because of how relaxed it is. I would definitely take with a hard schedule.

Really easy. Didn't even use the books/packet . 4 GROUP investigations presented on ppt. Really simple, everybody is graded individually. Pretty funny guy and nice, but got some hearing issues, so speak up. Learned some interesting things. It's mostly a class effort, we 'teach'' each other on civilizations & he adds on, in depth.

Don't buy the books. Just find them on sparknotes or something. Make sure you right everything down he says in lecture. The assignments that he assigns are REALLY easy, as long as you follow the guideline. His tests were harder than expected, but if you take good notes and read them thoroughly, you'll be fine

Karl is hilarious! He makes all of his lectures super interesting and easy to understanding. Homework in this class is extremely rare and there are only a couple quizzes/tests. Going to class is not mandatory but everything on his test and quizzes are from his lectures, which he does not post online. I would definitely take him again!

Karl is hilarious, I had him for CLSC101 and even though I knew a lot about Greek myth before I took the class I learned so much more because he is so intelligent and knowledgable. He's old school but you can tell he knows exactly what he's talking about, taking his class is like listening to a long story, all the lectures connect very well.

His class is like sitting in during a storytelling. His lectures are always informative and interesting, write down everything he says! Two short and easy quizzes and exercises. Multiple choice midterm and final. He always tells you what to expect from him and the class. A great professor!

Pretty good class. 2 quizzes, 2 exercises, the midterm and final. The exercises are super easy, but I did struggle on the midterm and final. Definitely make sure to take in depth notes during lectures because both tests are focused on the notes. Squitier is hilarious and I would definitely taker another class by him again!

I took Greek Mythology with him, and it was great! The class really isnt hard but you do need to show up to take REALLY GOOD NOTES! Basically anything he says in class can show up on the exams. He also gives 2 assignments but he is very clear on what he wants so you cant really go wrong on it. Totally recommend because you do learn a lot!

I really looked forward to coming to his lectures. The class was pretty easy with moderate studying. Some people are not as into history as me but I saw this class as very interesting and easy. My grade was somewhere above a 96%. You're graded on a 2 quizzes, 2 tests, and 2 essays. Looking forward to taking another class with him again!

One of the best Professors I've ever had! The class is pretty lecture heavy. Make sure to take notes and pay attention. There were only two assignments and two exams. Other than that the class is really easy. Make sure you participate because he really likes it when students engage with the conversation. This best class I have ever taken!

My favorite professor in college so far. I took him twice (greek myth and ancient eats). Show up everyday, participate, and he'll grow to like you. Finished both classes with A+ (Im a 3.3 GPA student). Ancient Eats has no tests! you do group projects and eat food! He's a great story teller!

Professor Squitier is an easygoing professor. There are 4 presentations and a final, all of which he gives very clear instructions for. He really tries his best to help everyone succeed in the class. Students take notes on other presentations, but this is just to boost your grade. The presentations are very short and super casual. An easy 100 class

2 quizzes, 2 exercises, midterm, and final. Just take notes and do the readings and you'll be fine. Exercises are 25% of your grade each and you're basically guaranteed 100% on them as long as you follow the instructions. It's your fault if you don't get an A in this class. Karl is hilarious & makes class worth going to. Lectures end early a lot

Super easy class, he's very funny and caring but I think he's not teaching this class anymore:/ He doesn't care if you show up or not and provides any reading. I think there were 2 quizzes, 2 one pagers, and midterm/final.
