Great professor. Not an easy course, and Prof. Walker constantly pushed us to challenge simple stories about religion. But this was the best GE class I've taken at UCSB. Walker cares a lot about his students, and if you put in the work (and go to class & follow written comments), you'll do well and learn a lot.

Professor Walker is one of the smartest, most interesting, well spoken, and intriguing people I have ever met. He is incredibly knowledgeable about any number of subjects, and always has something insightful to add to comments in class discussion, no matter what they are about, or what outside sources are mentioned. His classes are must-takes.

Super cool guy, may take a minute to understand his style but totally worth it. As long as you go to lecture it shouldn't be hard.

Awesome professor! He is truly passionate about the topics and makes learning about religion interesting. You have to attend lecture since he doesn't post the slides and you have to take detailed notes to do well on the 2 pop quizzes. The midterm and final are also pretty easy as long as you go to lecture and keep up with the weekly readings.

This professor is lit. Just go to his lecture and listen and you will do well. Felt like I was at some kind of sermon half the time but I was into it.

One of my favorite professors at UCSB thus far. His lectures are fascinating and you leave class feeling like your mind has expanded and your reality has flipped on its head. Like others say, his lecture style is interesting, but keep an open mind and it will eventually make more sense. Everyone interested in religion should take this class.
