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

Easy grader who gives lots of extra credit opportunities. The material may be confusing at times and there is a hefty amount of reading but overall would take again.

I took 2 of her Jesus & the New Testament classes, but they fixated on Bart Ehrman's views, which most NT scholars, including non-Christians, wouldn't support. Sure, they're attention-grabbing, but to be open-minded, do your due diligence & research the works of William Craig, Dan Wallace, Craig Evans, Mike Licona, Michael Bird, N.T. Wright, etc.

Lectures are truly the most boring material I think possibly offered at UCSB. her slides do not make sense in the slightest and you can't tell if what she's talking about is just a tangent or if its related to the class. she's condescending in her emails and if you speak with her after class. wouldnt take another class with her or recommend

She's an amazing professor! Very knowledgeable, and extremely kind and approachable. She's really there to help you and grades you on what you do best. Three online assignments, one essay midterm, and an essay final for which she gives you the prompts. Just an overall beautiful human being.
