I love teachers that show a passion for what they do!

Professor Greene really has been someone who opens your mind more, especially if you did not know much about mythology in the beginning. He teaches you about how it's important to question everything before you just accept things as they are presented. This class was one more of my favorites because it was truly thought provoking. He was great.

In 20th Cent Hum, we did not write one single thing down this entire semester, except the 1st day with due dates of assignments. We wrote like 4-5 small papers and there is no midterm and if you show up to every class (on time) you are exempt from the final. We basically watched movies and videos every day.
