Lots of reading. Lectures are clear. Friendly and helpful. You have to think about stuff that's not direct in the reading and comapre ideas. Textbook (the yellow one) was hard. Good class.
Third time taking Dr. Thomas for a reason. Show up to lecture, pay attention to what she has to say, and the assignments and final come naturally. Lots of reading, but if you like religion it's always interesting. She is super funny, smart, and engaging, and loves a tangent.
Professor Thomas is a lovely lady. The class was VERY boring at times, but I learned a lot. There were easy in-class attendance quizzes everyday (the only reason I went). There was lots of reading, but the grading was super generous. She went on many tangents, but thankfully, she gave good study guides and lots of instruction for the final paper.
Reading intensive class but clear expectations and fair grading. You get 2 attempts at weekly quizzes + she makes you do an outline for midterm and final. Sweet and funny, and clearly knowledgable when answering questions. Everything is on canvas and she makes it clear where to find resources. Even offers extra credit. Take it if you like religion!
Christine was super sweet and funny, and clearly knowledgable when answering questions. Class was interesting and lectures were informative. Canvas page had everything you possibly needed, and she made sure to provide all the resouces for tests. 2 tries on weekly quizzes + extra credit + clear expectations = pretty easy. lots of reading though
