RS7 . Walker D S 4 Months Ago

Prof Walker was a great professor! He doesn't post lectures online at all so it's important to go to lecture, but attendance isn't mandatory. tests were all online but require you to use the knowledge you have from lecture. One short presentation in section, but it's super easy and quick. section attendance in general was 40% of your grade.

I thought the class was a little disorganized, but still really interesting. I enjoyed the lectures a lot; I just wish he had spoken a bit more slowly and included more notes on the screen. He also offered plenty of extra credit.

Absolute favorite professor and class I've taken at UCSB (which I say as a math major). Prof. Walker covered some really interesting topics in lecture and challenged me to think about American religious history in an entirely new light. He has a unique lecture style but I really looked forward to it because he really kept me engaged the whole time.

Walker tied in lots of pop culture references! The TAs were super helpful; only 2 online tests formatted as exams. Walker had some very interesting connections to real-world and newer examples tied into religious history. Every lecture felt like attending a conference!

One of the best classes I've taken in my entire life. Professor Walker's lectures are unorthodox but super compelling. The connections and arguments he makes are absolutely fascinating. If you go to lecture and pay attention you'll do well.

he mumbles but content is quite interesting. He's got a nervous energy about him but he's sweet and passionate, particularly about wrestling, which felt like a weird tangent to go on in the class but it made sense in the end. Midterm and final were online and open note. If you go to lecture you should be fine for the exams.
