"I loved this class it was sooo easy all u have to do is go to lecture everything u will ever need to know will be said there,dont even bother with the books especially ovid it would be a waste of time to read that."

O tempora! O mores!  Imagine a class in mythology (et al.) in which you end up concluding that reading the Metamorphoses is a waste of time, and there's no point reading anything else either.  You won't even get to my favorite line of Ovid's--"Video meliora proboque, deteriora sequor."  Story of my life.
