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.

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

Easy grader. I barely went to class and studied an hour the night before an exam and got decent scores. Lectures are kinda boring but when guests come they are SO interesting. One time they made food one time it was a music ensemble. IF YOURE LOOKING FOR GE CREDIT take this class
