This class was decent. It was relatively easy to do well in if you did the readings(although some were really long and tedious!) and studied but it was also kinda boring ! The paper and final was marked pretty fairly though... Overall, it was somewhat interesting and didn't have a crazy work load but i would suggest taking the course only if you are interested in archaeology of the middle east area, otherwise it will be pretty boring.
