Comment:

He is confusing and does not give feedback. I often felt frustrated because what he would say wouldn't match what he put on the notes. I had difficulty understanding what he says and writes because he speaks with a thick accent and his handwriting was illegible.

Comment:

He is a really good teacher. You MUST pay attention and take a lot of notes. Write down everything that comes out of his mouth because it WILL be on the test. He gives HW and attendance as extra credit so if you do all of it, you can afford to do bad on one test. Make sure to print out the power point slides and take notes on it.

Comment:

His class is extremely straight forward and he is always available to talk after class. Gives you the powerpoints ahead of time, which you can print out and bring to class, so the note taking became easier. Even if you aren't Christian he makes the class easy to comprehend and does not force you to believe the material. Overall great professor.

Comment:

Very excitable and energetic; screams and sings a lot and can be a bit much, but also kinda funny. Hard to understand and gets off topic often, not good at simplifying things for intro classes. Gives homework for practice but doesn't collect it, takes attendance every day, posts answers, lectures, and study guides online, gives extra credit.

Comment:

Loved Holland my freshmen year, a lot of lectures,so if note taking isn't your thing, don't take him. He can talk fast but he allows laptops in case your a slow writer. No phones. Only two tests so make sure you study for them, 1700 word research paper and simple homework assignments. Really opened my eyes to theology, never thought i'd like it.

Comment:

Two tests (multiple choice / two full essays). Final is only multiple choice on material after the second test. One research paper. But let me say, his tests are so hard. You can only get an A if you really listen and write down every single thing he says and study it to the point where you could teach it yourself. A LOTTT of boring information.

whole class is a powerpoint. print them out and add onto it. what he says in class is on the test-TAKE NOTES! gives broad outline for tests, have to study to pass. pretty clear, has a heavy accent. no textbook. 3 tests, not cumulative. either a research paper or asl. you don't have to show up but if you don't go you won't do well

Comment:

I thought he was a decent professor. Gets you interested in the subject. Takes notes from the slide and what he's talking about, you should be fine for the tests. Homework is extra credit, not mandatory but helpful.

Comment:

As long as you sit in the front and take good notes, you will do well. He gives you the PowerPoint slides from the first day of class so that is helpful. He has an Irish accent so sometimes it's difficult to figure out what he is saying but as I said, sit in the front and ask questions.

Pretty good professor. The first test isn't that bad but they get a little harder afterwards. There's a paper due as a midterm but it's only 1500-1700 words

Comment:

Attend class and get the notes, tests are based off the notes and minimal textbook use. Homework given relatively every class however it's very simple. He gives out tests after after chapter, midterm & final. Project at the end of the year can be a presentation, thesis or about 20 ASL hours.Definitely recommend.

Comment:

For theology1000 it was pretty difficult. Not an easy A like you would expect from a 1000 class. He was a great professor and wanted each student to do as well as they could. He was a fair grader and gave many chances to review in class. An A is definitely possible but you will need to take notes even though he gives powerpoint slides + study a lot

Great teacher if you really want to learn. He treats his classroom like a college classroom, which is very nice. He's doesn't just give out grade, he gives you what you deserve. Take him if you want to learn!

do not take him if your are looking for an easy A. He is a great professor with a lot of knowledge on the subject. Attendance isn't mandatory but i do not suggest you miss a single lecture because his tests are based on what he says so make sure you take good notes and study hard.

Comment:

Great teacher! Take notes, study for the exams, show up to class, do the work, get an A. He gives you every opportunity in the world to review for the test but you have to ask him what you want to review. It's all on you. He expects that his students are adults.
