This was a fantastic course--I really enjoyed it! Professor Petrovic is a wonderful professor who definitely knows her Greek Myth well, and she is a passionate and fun lecturer.
This class was definitely a lot of work which consisted of reading the texts and completing 5 one page assignments that are well spread out. There is one midterm and a final. Also in discussion there are pop quizzes that pop up randomly. This is a must do-your-work class in that you need to read the texts and you need to attend lecture. Even though this class was a bit of work, I recommend it to those who are genuinely interested in Greek Myth. If you enjoy Greek Myth then you won't mind putting in the additional effort into the course as it is enjoyable and rewarding if you enjoy it.

Petrovic is clearly passionate and going to lecture is entertaining most of the time, although not as much as I would have liked/expected from a mythology course. There is an excessive amount of reading and the T.A's grade the one page papers you write more harshly than any other professor I have taken in my four years at UVA. It's ridiculous. I have had term papers graded less harshly than the one page assignments we have to do. My main gripe with the course is really with the teaching assistants, as Petrovic seems fine to me. The midterm was not hard if you attended lecture which indicates to me that the t.a.'s and Petrovic have wildly different expectations for what students should know. Unless this discrepancy is addressed, I don't think I would recommend taking the class.
