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.

Amazing professor, clearly so knowledgeable. Very compassionate, loves a tangent, and prepares sufficiently for all tests and essays (scaffolding lover). Lots of readings but all interesting and informative. Attendance is not mandatory, but in class quizzes on lectures, she drops a couple low scores, so not unflexible by any means.

Dr. Thomas is absolutely amazing! She is very knowledgeable and well spoken. Attendence is mandatory, but her lectures give you all of the information you need for assignments. One midterm in class, which she helps you prepare for. If you're interested in trying out a religious studies class I definitely recommend taking one of hers

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.
