Religion and Science Fiction. Signed up on a whim. Best course I've ever taken with the most interesting and philosophical prof ever. This was my first Reg Studies course but my mind was blown on a daily basis. So grateful for the opportunity to have had him as a prof. TAKE HIM!!!

Just show up to lecture and pay attention and you'll get an A. The guy gives out extra credit opportunities like its candy. Skim the readings. You can really tell he's passionate about the material.

Not too bad if you go to class. Prof is a bit uptight about attendance and will go above and beyond to get people to show up even though attendance is not required for lectures. Overall not too bad but be prepared to got to lecture most of the time

genuinely the most manipulative professor you will encounter. he refuses to post lectures until a few days before exams, refuses to upload grades into canvas (so your final grade is a complete surprise), cancelled all sections half way through the quarter, etc. for material the relatively simple, he goes beyond to make sure you can't succeed!!
