CollegeSteavu is an interesting guy, you'll either love him or tolerate him. He rambles at times, but the important stuff is on the slides. He does not allow any kind of electronics in class, no phones/laptops/tablets, you have to take handwritten notes. I really enjoyed the class, it was a nice easy break from my major courses on a topic I love.
Super chill and cool guy. You can tell he is really interested in the things he teaches and the things he teaches are really interesting! This was the first time this course was ever offered and Dominic was really chill and relaxed with it. Definitely recommend this professor.
Very lecture heavy, be sure to go to them and take notes since he doesn't post his slides online. Overall though he's a pretty nice guy and is very chill (strict no phones and technology policy in class and he will *jokingly* call you out if you're late to class). Nice eye candy too lol. We had a short midterm essay and an in-class final.
I enjoyed intro to Buddhism. Very organized class and interesting material!
You might find Professor Steavu a little hard to approach at first, but he is very nice. His live Zoom meetings are always really fun (I bet that its even better when its in person). There is no right or wrong answer of interpretation of text and everyone is still learning, both students (us) and the professor, prof Steavu is very open minded.
Absolute lad. Coolest professor at sb, and he is actually great at teaching. Lectures were engaging and interesting, so it wasnt hard to keep my head in the class. Readings are optional, and the midterm and final were only on lectures. As long as you review your notes or make a study guide the class is a breeze. Again, steavu is an absolute lad.
