Ever wonder how some people can tell the difference between all those pyramids? Or ever just wanted to learn a little Egyptian History? If so, "Archaeology of Ancient Egypt" is a class to seriously consider. The class examines Egypt from the prehistoric era to the Old Kingdom (No King Tut'that"s second semester).

Professor Brovarski was generally viewed in a favorable light by students. He read from lecture notes, but frequently digressed from them and taught in a highly interactive manner. He was regarded as very knowledgeable and was obviously truly interested in what he was teaching. His primary technique of lecture was through slide presentation, which resulted in class attendance being critical. His exams were seen as challenging, but Brovarski was given credit for explaining everything necessary.

Students spent very little time on this class outside of lecture, perhaps because the only assignments were optional readings for personal enrichment. A midterm, final paper, and final exam were given, and during Reading Period a review session was held.

Those surveyed were quick to point out that this class deals more with art history, and some wished it had delved more into the Ancient Egyptian way of life. However, those who had a good visual memory, an interest in art history, and an interest in Egypt enhanced their Egyptian experience.
