RGST140B . Campo J E 12 Years Ago

Campo is a great professor. Had no prior knowledge about or interest in Islam, barely did any of the readings, and ended up with an A+. He's very friendly and approachable - talking to him at office hours will definitely help. Overall great class.

RELST140B . Campo J E 17 Years Ago

Campo is a very nice man, but not the best teacher. He knows a lot but is a pretty terrible lecturer. I dreaded going to class... he grades hard... I spent hours writing the papers and got B-. THe final paper is ridiculous. boring class although I did learn! Tons of reading! The material is interesting just not the best teacher!

Dr. Campo is simply fun to watch. He enjoys his teaching and respects students and engages everyone with equal interest. Knows more about Islamic religion than anyone I will ever meet, and loves religion itself as deeply as he does his teaching. A fine, fine professor

I took this class as a GE and I actually learned. Very interesting class and barely any homework. Study a decent amount for the quizzes, midterm, and test and you will easily pass the class.
