Comment:

Dr. Bibza is an incredible person and professor. I recommend taking him 100%. You definitely need to study for the tests and do the reading for the quizzes. Take advantage of his office hours--even if you just need to talk, he will listen. He genuinely cares about his students.

Comment:

Bibza gives amazing lectures filled with Snapple facts and funny (or dry-humored) jokes. He gives amazing lectures and tries to cover hanging questions about controversial Bible topics. Extra credit is available in all of his classes, so if you take him multiple times in one semester, you can turn in one extra credit for all of his classes.

The class is challenging but still enjoyable. Usually there is a lot that Dr. Bibza covers in the lecture so it is better to show up to class, but it won't kill you if you don't.

Bibza is fine. just dont take him second semester senior year when you stop caring. While still a solid prof, definitely the worst of the bars profs besides good ole brother stringer who doesnt even know the material which he fails at teaching. but back to Bibza. eh.

Comment:

Bibza is a hilarious teacher who loves what he does. I really appreciated the time he spent even outside of class with me. Truly a great guy who I would definitely recommend. He isn't that hard if you do some work, and gives lots of extra credit. Also, tends to give you the benefit of doubt while grading.

Comment:

Bibza is a very personable professor who honestly wants you to do well which is why he gives so much extra credit. As long as you pay attention to lectures and take good notes, tests aren't bad, as long as you study them. He's super quirky with snapple facts, football jokes, stories, etc. Take him for OT and NT.

Comment:

Dr. Bibza is an amazing professor. I would recommend Old and New Testament instead of BibRev just because he is one of the best professors I have had here. Take him if you can. He makes you work, but makes it enjoyable

He will make you work hard, but his quizzes and tests are very straightforward. He doesn't try to be tricky, you just have to be willing to put in the time. He also does good job at giving you all the different angles and opinions.

Comment:

Great professor. he assigns a bunch of reading & you have to at least skim all of it but that's to be expected from an Old Testament class. Knows the Bible backwards and forwards & has a great sense of humor.

Comment:

Dr. Bibza is a student favorite at Grove City, but only because what he teaches can be understood by even the most unintelligent of students. You will definitely learn the material, but do not expect to be expected to think critically. Do not let this defer you from taking his classes, though.

Dr. Bibza is a great professor. However, don't take his class if you do not wish to work hard. He is very helpful though, he's always in his office and he responds to e-mails very quickly.
