LOVED this class and dude. (although I did have a good latin background prior to his class... I think it would've been hard if I didn't have it...) Although his class was early, he tried to make it fun (even if the class overall was boring).

Comment:
Frazel manages to make even the dreariest of Latin texts hilarious thanks to his quirky sense of humor. At the same time, though, the class is rigorous and introduced me to many new concepts and authors. Academics aside, I have never met a more caring, kind professor (and thats saying a lot because the whole classics dept is lovely).

prof. frazel is the such a great teacher, very willing to meet outside of class for help and super funny. lots of memorization for quizzes and tests, but totally pays off. overall, just a funny guy teaching latin.

Comment:
Professor Frazel is easily the best Latin teacher I've had in all my years of taking Latin. He expects a good effort from his students but he is always read and willing to meet with them, as his door is always open. He is full of knowledge that he is eager to share with his students. He is a very insightful person with a great sense of humor.

Comment:
most boring class i've ever taken. didn't read any of the books and still got a B+ because he's an easy grader. his lectures make no sense and he takes attendance for a grade. i skipped class ONE time the whole semester and i saw him on campus that day and he called me out on it. don't take the class...

He's pretty crazy, and the class is boring unless you do the reading. Don't take the class if you don't think you'll read the books, but if you do read the books he's a pretty easy grader and your almost guaranteed an A.

Comment:
Frazel is pretty good. I had him for Rise of Rome and learned a ton, however most of it came from just reading the materials. Class doesn't make sense unless you read ahead. He is a nice guy and pretty funny though. Good class, a B is pretty easy if you study

Comment:
He is nuts and serious about his classics!! He is extremely sarcastic, and he doesn't answer your questions. He just makes a vague comment. His grading is completely arbitrary, and I never heard of anyone making above a 90 or a 91. Most people got B's. You never know what to expect, and the class is more literature than classics.

One of the few professors with whom I'm never looking at my watch waiting for class to be over. Keeps it interesting. VERY knowledgable and goes into great depth with the literature. Lots of reading and tricky papers, though.

Frazel is an interesting character. The first time i saw him he looked like Mr. Bunrns from the Simpsons. He is def very informed about the Rise, life, and death of ROME. If you don't like to read then don't take this class b/c you will read ALOT. All his exams are essay/short answer form. READ ALOT.

So adorable! Obviously loves what he's teaching...very insightful lectures. Fairly difficult/complex assignments but not a tough grader. Lots of reading...but worth it. Gotta love the glasses :)

He is interesting and entertaining in class, most certainly, and very understanding of a student's misfortunes, but his paper assignments are generally complicated and rather difficult to comprehend...so beware of that.

Dr. Frazel is the best teacher ever. I missed the class one day because I was at the chiropractor and he understood. Occasionally makes Anti-Scottish remarks which offended me, its not a dress, its a kilt Dr. Frazel. Other than that he is funny...Mr. Information
