One of the greatest professors I've ever had. You MUST take a class with Dr. Snyder before you graduate. It's a necessity.

Greg's aight. As a Writing 101 teacher, he focused a lot more on religion than writing. This made for some fun discussion days, but also for some paper grades that came out of nowhere - he's pretty specific about what he wants but doesn't usually tell you. I'd take him again for a religion class.

Snyder is awesome! He's passionate about his subject and class is laid back(but he makes you work for hw and papers). Any random class ideas will actually be considered. Our class hand carved bamboo pens and transcribed the gospel of mark onto papyrus... then dressed in togas and read our codex in the DCPC chapel! Strange, fun AND educational!

Comment:
Dr. Snyder was a wonderful discussion leader. He had great insights and was always there to guide the conversation, but for the most part he let us do the talking. You have to work to do well on the papers, but that's Davidson. He was by far the best discussion leader for Hum 150 my year. :)

Comment:
Great discussion leader. He keeps discussion on topic but allows for a great deal of freedom. His grading is fair and relatively easy. It's easy to get a B on a paper but much harder to get an A. If you go for help, he is helpful but most students don't. Very relaxed class. Participation is key.

Comment:
Pretty much agree with comments below. Expects a lot from your essays, tests are medium-to-almost-tough (though he does always say they're easy). As a word of advice, he likes to hear you repeat his opinions, and he agrees with the readings 99% of the time. The class is well worth taking, but not a must-take.

Comment:
He will come across as very chill laidback &easygoing, then he'll hand you a test & say something like "this is sooo easy, I really slacked on you guys..." all the while he'll present his charming reassuring smile, downplaying the need to study. DONT B FOOLLED. H/E, he is 2cool4skool & he lectures with the manerisms of a male model. 1.5 thumbsUp =)

He's nice but a tough grader. He should not be leading a discussion group such as in hums. He tries to make it interesting, but most in class discussions are just disorganized.

Snyder is great! Our Hums group was so much fun. He is a tough grader, but submits really interesting ideas for discussion and gave good lectures. His sense of humor is fantastic. We went to his house, ate Brick House pizza, and watched Troy...awesome.

Awesome professor! Especially good if you have a previous interest in the material. Get to know him outside class.

Comment:
Just doesn't know how to run a class of freshmen-- doesn't focus discussion toward key elements of text, nor teach critical analysis skills, nor encourage all members of class to speak. Seems to think lack of direction is encouragement for students to explore their own ideas when really just demonstrates aimlessness and shallow content of class.

Fantastic. A little lost in his own thought sometimes, but it's probably just because he's a genius. Has a reputation for being very difficult, but it seems to me that his bark is worse than his bite.

Snide and thinks lowly of his students (or at least those in Humanities). I was not impressed with his lectures, and he is not very precise in his speech, though he has tremendous expectations for your writing (i.e. written expression).
