Comment:
Because this was an online course, there was a lot of work. At first it can become difficult, but once your find your tempo of the class, it's fairly easy. Group project is easy. She emails her students fairly quickly so any questions, don't be afraid to ask. For a 300 class, the work isn't hard, just make sure to check BB daily and you'll be good.

Comment:
Everyone on here is saying there is sooo much work. Well, yes. This is a 300-level online college course what do you expect? It's actually not that much, considering there are no exams or quizzes (except the online final). The "big group project" was extremely easy. The weekly journals are only 250 words, and the discussion boards are easy too.

Comment:
I took this online over the summer. It was an easy A as long as you do the work and put some effort into it. It was a ton of work, though. There was a big group project too. She graded very fairly, though. If you are willing to put in some work, I would recommend her.

Comment:
She cares a lot, very personable. There are no actual exams, only papers, so when she lectures from a power point, you do not need to write down all the information, it is only there to help you for your paper topics. She likes to talk about current events, and try to participate in discussion.

Dr. Maodush-Pitzer is very nice. There is a lot of busy work in this course, although the course itself is easy. She responds to emails fairly quickly and is always willing to talk during office hours. Overall she is a very good professor.

Easy A if you are willing to put the time into each week to get all the work done. Three discussion board questions a week as well as a journal on top of those for 8 of the weeks. Prof did not do much for this class everyone was on their own through the discussions. So much work, I would not take again.

Online class that required a ton of homework. What she offers as "lecture" if a very vague PowerPoint that isn't useful. She is there to grade and little else. There was one extra credit opportunity and one group project. If you do all the homework and follow directions exactly, you should receive credit but very time consuming. One final exam.

I took REL (LIB) 335 as an online class. The content was pretty easy, but there was so much work each week that I found the course exhausting. There is a weekly discussion board with 3 questions (response of 250 words each), a 1-2 page journal, and around 30 pages of reading from the text book-all of this each week.

Overall she was a good professor, for an online class. This course is easy, but has a lot of busy work. She grades pretty easy on the discussion boards, but it is important to do everything required in those discussions to receive full credit. I found it hard to contact her though. I emailed her several times and never got a response.

Great prof. Very informative. She offered a very thorough historical account of Christianity. She offered multiple perspectives, addressed religious issues among classmates fairly. Her assignments were wonderful. Loved the reading! I was more disappointed by my peers. Great class!

Awesome teacher, one of my favorite classes i've taken in my 4 years of college. Can be slightly boring at times, but if you participate in class discussion time goes by much faster. I barely read any of the novels and still did really well on all of the papers :-)

She is a really nice person and is very easy to get along with. The class was pretty easy, except make sure you have an interactive WIKI or you'll get marked down. Make sure you participate and actually read because she gives pop quizzes occasionally. Overall nice professor and pleasant class.

She is a very cool professor. The only problem I had with her was she curves the grades so a 9 out of 10 is a B. And she uses APA format for papers and really doesnt give you any structure as far as how to write your paper. But she is very laid back and her class is relatively easy. PARTICIPATE, she loves participation

Comment:
Took it as an SWS and didn't really have much interest in taking it before, but turned out to be pretty good. I also took it spring semester, so we didn't end up reading one of the required texts. She's intelligent and knows what she's talking about and actually teaches the subject to you instead of boringly lecturing. Just attend class and read.
