Comment:

Rauh is a great professor and gives us so much preparation for our tests and quizzes. Your grade is only the two tests/quizzes and the extra credit he hands out like crazy. If you read the textbook and look over the reviews he posts on the website before each test you should have an easy A.

Rauh is very knowledgeable and cares SO much about his class and his work. I enjoyed every day in his class. He has a very nice way of putting things and lectures are entertaining. There is plenty of opportunity for extra credit and his review sessions are very helpful for the exams/quizzes. Easily one of my favorites at Purdue

Comment:

Professor Rauh knows SO much about classics, and for someone who's taught this class for years, its endearing how much he cares about the class. He offers a ton of extra credit (literally showing up for class and coming to review sessions is extra credit a lot of the time). He also puts everything you need for tests/quizzes on the website.

The class consisted of two quizzes, a midterm, and a final... But there were reviews before each that were very helpful on the quizzes and exams. There was also a boat load of extra credit given. Professor Rauh is always willing to answer questions, and really knows his classics.

This class is an easy A. Professor Rauh gives gives study gives which are pretty much the answers and way too many extra credit opportunites. He makes all answers bold in the online book. However he rambles alot in class which is why I almost never went. Just go to review sessions and read the online book and you'll be fine. Funny professor though!

Super interesting class! I love this guy. Don't buy the reading materials (unless you want to). He rants and you never quite know what his main points are, but he gives a study guide for every test that are pretty much the answers. He absolutely knows his stuff and is very energetic and entertaining.

Goes on rants but they are interesting. Everything on a test or quiz is mentioned in class so reading is optional though typically interesting to at least scan.

This class is easy if you do the work. He puts everything online for you and bolds what will be on the test. Its not super easy, you will need to study. But, its not hard information to comprehend. So the work and youll do great. Theres tons of e.c. also. He's an interesting guy to listen to and very funny so go to class!

Great guy, knows a lot. Material of this class wasn't as interesting as other classes I've had with him, but if you just read his online book (focusing on bold terms), you'll have no problem getting an A in this course. Exams are straight-forward and easy. Also gives out extra credit for going almost once a week.

If you're not into history, he will bore you. However personally I am into history, and I found most of his stories interesting, and they usually managed to help me remember things for tests and such. It's also extremely nice that you do not have to buy any books for any of his classes because of his website.

Very easy class, however, the lectures were definitely a bore. Rauh goes off on tangents and I easily got lost and had a hard time remembering what we were actually talking about. I learned everything by reading the online book, that's all you really need to do. Went to class just for the extra credit points..taking notes did not help.

Comment:

Many of the reviews give him a high score because he is "hot". The man follows no direction in his lectures at all. You WILL lose him even if you are paying complete attention. Notes/guides are all online and you can claim a lot of extra credit if you show up. The class can be easy if you apply yourself. Rauh, however, is a TERRIBLE professor.

If you are into history, he is an excellent professor for you. The class is very easy if you pay attention in class and study a bit. Personally, I thought his stories and lectures were entertaining overall. I also highly recommend him as a history teacher. Very nice guy as well.

Comment:

He makes it so you can succeed in his class even if you do not do extremely well on the exams. Material can be somewhat dry if you aren't a huge history buff, but he made this class worth going to by giving extra credit to those who show up. If you go to class and do the little bit of studying needed it should be an A no problem. Highly recommend!
