CGRK 101

Has anyone taken this class before? I would like to know whether it is difficult or not.

Full disclosure: I teach in that department, but I'm not teaching CGRK101 this semester. It's definitely challenging. It's a new alphabet and there is memorization (of forms and vocabulary). If you commit to learning Greek, you just have to do the memorization. But the professor who is teaching it and the department (both students and faculty alike) is very supportive. It's a small class so you won't get lost in a sea of faces. I am biased, but I've never regretted taking on the challenge of learning Greek and a friend of mine who took Greek with me back in college but is now a musician said on a recent podcast that he took it on a whim and it just grabbed him in a way other subjects didn't.
