Probably the sweetest man alive. Chuckles at his own classics jokes and he's just a gem. The lectures are definitely on the boring side, and a lot of the time reading the textbook is enough to pass, but he gives the class the midtermfinal questions beforehand. He obviously loves what he does. Go chat with him in his office, it'll brighten your day

Fantastic professor. I love his white goatee and sweater vest style. His lectures can be boring thats true, and if you aren't interested in latin or greek you will do poorly. but if you ARE interested, everything is explained slowly and clearly. He is lenient on missed assignments. He is always willing to give extra credit. I might take Grek II

Probably one of the nicest professors at the university. Lectures can get a little boring, but I enjoyed it overall. I would take Latin 1200 but language electives are very demanding courses.

Ahh, Paddy O'Cleirigh. His knowledge of ancient Greece and Rome is unparalleled - because he was there. The Classic prof, he's extremely old, but kind and reasonable. He does put you to sleep with his lectures though. Is a bit of a softy when it comes to marking.

Overall the prof is extremely smart and his lectures are easy to follow. Made me really interested in classical studies and I plan on taking his Latin course as well. He's a fair grader and the only down fall I can find is that he doesn't always answer e-mail, but he seems like a busy man.

Padraig O'Cleirigh is my favourite professor from the UoG!! It was with his coaching that I entered into the classics and even though I'm no longer a student of his I still study and enjoy the subject matter he introduced me to. :)

the most adorable prof yet; a perfect santa claus. however between his sweet, grandpa-like voice, the bland classroom and somewhat poor delivery of the content, i found it difficult to stay awake...hmmph, o'cleirigh's still adorable

My favourite prof.!! I looked forward to his lectures and listening to him every morning. Listen carefully to what he says and make good notes. I couldn't stop writing because it all made sense and was so interesting!! I hope the next classics course I take is with him! ;o)

He's a really nice professor and I really found the content interesting, I just couldn't understand what he was saying half the time because his accent is so thick at times, especially when pronoucing names and places.

A great classical mythology teacher. Loves to tell stories, and being Irish has certainly passed on this gift to him. Inspires deep thought about the great stories of old.

Considering the difficulty of some of the material, he graded fairly. However, the final screwed me over.
