Learner Reviews & Feedback for Greek and Roman Mythology by University of Pennsylvania

The course gives you the knowledge to analyze myths with different conceptual tools and how myths are important in any culture. The professor explanations are very clear and the reading material is very useful.

I really enjoyed the breakdown of the myths chosen and I think they represent some of the best stories each of these cultures has to offer. Thank you so much for such an enjoyable way to learn this material.

I really enjoyed this course and would highly recommend it! Even though I have taken lessons in Ancient Greek and Latin in high school, I learned a lot of new things and new ways to look at classical myths.

mejoraría un poco la traducción de los textos. y quizás que el orador hablara un poco más despacio pero por lo demas es ameno e interesante y también muy curioso por los temas que trata y que desconocía

Great course! I enjoyed Struck's lectures on myths. It teaches you to look at myths through different lenses and perspectives. Thoroughly enjoyed, I wish that there were more courses like this one here.

It's a great course. It's a magical journey to understand greek and roman mythology by reading the classics and applying some ancient and modern tools of analysis. After finishing it one wants go deeper.

Well thought out well presented. I feel I have gained a very knowledgeable and thorough understanding of both Greek and Roman mythology and their historical gods and goddesses from taking this course.

I loved this course. It covers material that is generally available to those who can afford an expensive private education. It was a great way to keep myself occupied during the coronavirus lockdown.

Excelente. Me agradó ka explicación aunque pude ser más concisa, pero se nota la pasión y el profesionalismo, asi como el interés del profesor Struck. En verdad gracias. Una grata experiencia.

What can I say? He is one of the best tellers I have ever seen in my life and he is a professor. This is something real good and not enough for few sentence to tell... Thanks for everything!

Estoy muy contento de haber completado este curso. Aunque en ocasiones el cronograma es muy apretado, he podido dedicarme a él y me llevo conocimientos que aplicaré en mi tesis doctoral.

This class is very interesting and I love the structure of it. I love how in depth he goes into the different mythological stories and how they connect to Greek culture and daily life.

I thoroughly enjoyed this class and have recommended it to all my friends. Professor Struck made a subject that can often be a difficult slog to tackle into an entertaining overview.

This course was thoroughly enjoyable - full of good material - helped to give a more thorough understanding of my reading and has provoked a desire for follow up courses - Thank you

Excellent! Professor Struck was very engaging and brought the works to life. I thoroughly enjoyed this course and feel like a whole world of literature has been opened up for me.

I really enjoyed this course, it helped me put together the snippets of my previous knowledge and gives more structure and context.

The lecturer is very likeable and engaging.

Me encantó este curso, realmente aprendí muchísimo. Voy a extrañar al profesor Struck.

Muy triste los comentarios negativos, realmente se ve que e profesor tiene conocimientos.

Thank you Professor Struck for an inspiring, elegantly presented and stimulating course. With great appreciation to you and Penn for providing this course. Wonderful stuff!!

Excellent class. Very challenging for me but I enjoyed it tremendously. I can't imagine trying to read the classics without the guidance and insight provided by Prof. Struck.

Really enjoyed it. It gave me a framework of knowledge and approaches for further exploration. Professor Struck is most engaging and his 8 Universal Laws very stimulating.

A fantastic course packed with fascinating readings, analyses, and discussions!  Thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely recommend to anyone interested in mythology. 

I loved this course - might even take it again! It is so fascinating and the teacher is wonderful. He is intelligent but very down to earth - and funny too! Great job!

Really liked this class. Great presentations that tied in mythology, psychology, and psychoanalysis, which is exactly what I wanted to get out of the class. Thank you.

Great course. An excellent Lecturer. He has the power to encourage his students to study and read,

Mr. Struck, you have opened my eyes to the past.
