Comment:

Plumer was definitely an interesting professor. His lectures are relevant to the readings but he can get off topic. He gives a study guide the class before your test which has all the questions he could possibly ask. MEMORIZE THE STUDY GUIDE VERBATIM. Gives opportunity to earn extra credit on your overall grade, overall decent professor.

Comment:

Don't take unless you really love Theology. Great guy, tries to make class interesting - I'll give him that. BUT, grading is HORRIBLE. You can write exactly what he says in the review and he will still just slap an 80 on the paper. Do not recommend.

Dr. Plumer is a great theology professor! He is extremely funny and loves what he teaches! Try to read or at least have an understanding of what you were supposed to read before class and definitely participate! On review day he gives you all the possible test questions and answers so take detailed notes and you will do great! Take Plumer!!!

Make sure you read before every class because the readings are what he bases his lectures off. He does boost your grade up if you participate in class. Tests are easy and he gives the questions in advance just make sure you pay attention on review day. Overall good teacher and would take him again

Comment:

After taking this course I still reflect back and realize that I learned absolutely nothing. Plumer can be quite condescending especially when a student does not know the answer. His tests are not too awful because he gives you the questions in advance. However, missing a single piece of the answer takes away from the grade substantially.

Comment:

Terrible. His tests seem easy but if you do not write word for word what he has in his notes (which he doesn't use in lecture) you lose random points. I regurgitated everything he said in class because he tells you the essays, but I averaged around a B on every exam - which was considered good. Got a B- overall which pulled my GPA down; DO NOT TAKE

Do not be intimidated by Plumer the first class because it turns out to be extremely easy. I loved this class- you literally have no work all semester. Some of the classes will bore you to tears and others are extremely easy depends on the day. Oh and he gives you the questions BEFORE the test so it's completely your fault if you don't do well.

He is great. Didn't have much work, and he gives you the essay questions before the test. You need to put down exactly what he says since he grades them hard. A tough A to get but a B is reasonable

Plumer is..interesting. He's very funny and actually made the class extremely interesting. His teaching methods were weird but the man will teach you stuff. Tests weren't bad..you just need to write down what he says word for word. Overall, HIGHLY recommend

Comment:

His class is a joke- you do absolutely nothing all semester. He'll act intimidating sometimes but he's not.. it's just his sense of humor. Tests are a joke considering you have the questions ahead of time along with the answers he tells you to put for those questions- they're usually only 3 short answer questions. The topics you cover are weird.

He is your best pick for theology 2. He starts off being really intimidating and hard but it ends up being your easiest class- no outside work and tests/quizzes are a joke. Take this class.

Comment:

This class was a joke. He picks the most random topics and you have no idea why you're studying certain things that have nothing to do with the curriculum. He loves calling people out and tends to pick a few people to torture for the entire semester. Wasn't that hard, but very annoying. I wouldn't take this class.

Comment:

He has an attitude problem and will degrade the class if you don't know an answer which happens all the time since his questions are so specific and weird. He is very full of himself and I wanted to punch him every class because he's so damn annoying. I wouldn't take him.

Comment:

He can be rather scary and if you don't lie being put on the spot, I wouldn't take him. But, he picks interesting topics, although random, and likes class discussion. He likes things word for word on the test which can suck but it's not bad. I wouldn't go out of my way to get him but if you do, it's not the end of the world.

Plumer is the best. He gives you the questions before the test. If you ask for help, he will show you exactly what hes looking for. He really took time to get to know me, and he's so funny. Just do what you're supposed to do and you'll do great in the class!

Comment:

Dr.Plumer's class at first may seem intimating but it's not bad. Didn't have much work which I enjoyed, his tests are a little tricky but talk to him beforehand and he will help clarify what he's looking for. Overall, good teacher! Don't listen to the comments below!!

Comment:

Not that much homework, which is a plus. However, classes were uncomfortable and he liked to put people on the spot especially if you didn't have the textbook. His tests are short, but you need to write exactly what he says, which can be impossible. The topics are a joke, you talk about Newton and the rhythm method all semester, whatever that is.

Comment:

Might just be the easiest option for theo2, which is why I took him, but he is veryyy closed-minded so just learn his opinions for the tests and you'll be fine. I got an A, but I think everything he said was wrong.

Comment:

This has by far been my most dreaded class so far at the U. He is so cocky and not helpful at all. His class is interesting but if you strive to get above a B I wouldn't take him because I think it's next to impossible to get higher than that unless your last name is Plumer. Sometimes I think HE doesn't even know the answers he wants.
