<p>Can anyone tell me anything about the following courses/professors:</p>
<p>PHIL 115: Ancient Greek Culture and Society with Frank Lewis</p>
<p>CLAS 280: Classical Mythology with James Henderson Collins</p>
<p>ANTH: 263: Exploring Culture through Film with Christopher Boehm</p>
<p>I'd like to know how easy it is to get an A, and the how much the workload is.
I'm currently a freshman majoring in Business/Accounting with Prelaw.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I took a TO course with James Collins last semester and loved it. He is an enthusiastic young teacher.</p>
<p>I took PHIL 115 and that was fairly interesting. It's mostly intro greek philosophy with a bit of history thrown in. Not too much of a time sink for the busy student, though it does take some effort to get that A.</p>
<p>The class format was 3 or so short papers (2 pages) and take-home midterm/final papers that were a little longer, plus weekly quizzes in discussion.</p>
<p>Don't be deceived by the paper length, these are not your typical papers, in the sense that they have to be super-tight (none of this messing around with introductions or conclusions or transitions or other rhetorical constructs like those) and they must be super-precise - you have to get in, make your point, and get out in very few words.</p>
<p>(I happened to prefer that kind of writing, but your milage may very)</p>
<p>ANTH: 263: Exploring Culture through Film with Christopher Boehm</p>
<p>I don't know about Boehm, but I took it with Seaman- and the class in general is just AWFUL. I wouldn't reccomend it at all.</p>
<p>PHIL115 was a great class. For the most part, the material was interesting. There was a section on logic (ie. post hoc ergo propter hoc, modus tollens, etc.) that should help anyone interested in law. The TAs usually do a great job explaining the lecture material.</p>
<p>The papers are not as easy as you think, as someone said earlier. Unfortunately, I'm used to BSing and fluffing up my writing to get to the required page length.</p>
