Professor Thomas is intelligent, nice and approachable. She is very organized and her expectations are clear. Two online quizzes (10%), two very short research assignments (10%), attendance (25%), midterm (identify terms and short essay, 25%) and final (essay format, 30%). There are no surprises regarding assignments, she provides study guides.

Disregard any bad comments you read about Prof Thomas. She is an EXPERT in her field. Anyone who calls her a picky grader is just ignorant about Christianity &those "minor details" missed are prob. fundamental characteristics, not mere details. MUST attend her lectures if you expect to keep up with the course, but she never takes attendance.

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

I took this class because nothing else was available, but Im glad I did. I learned more about religion and the content of lectures was really engaging. She doesn't want the class to be stressful, and it wasn't. If you follow the rubric its almost impossible to not get an A. 2 papers, 2 weekly reading and lecture quizzes and a weekly assignment.

Professor Thomas was always engaging and funny during lecture. Her motto is to get her students working, but not stressed, and she certainly does that. She got me really interested in a religious studies I wound up picking because it was all that was left pass 3. If you see one of her classes, take it.
