Brother Facer is absolutely amazing! I loved his class and I really feel like I learned a lot. If you're looking for a BoM class where you feel the Spirit and don't focus so much on nitpicky details, Facer's the guy for you.

BROTHER FACER WAS AMAZING. To tell you the truth, I didn't like him at first, but once I got to know him, he was my favorite teacher. It's not as hard as you think to get an A. If you go to his office and talk to him, he helps tons. He brings the spirit so strong, and he cares deeply about his students. If you get a chance, HIGHLY RECOMENDED!!

Comment:

Bro Facer is so helpful! I would consider him my friend. He makes himself very accesible. He follows the spirit and teaches what the class needs to hear, has a course outline and covers all of the material still. Everything he teaches is supported by general authorities. I feel eternally blessed for having Bro Facer as my teacher! I LOVE him!!!

Comment:

Good sense of humor, teaches without boring ou, applies doctrine to everyday life really well. Show up in class and you'll ace the tests. Also, pretty flexible with deadlines, and way understanding of personal needs. No deep doctrine, just the truths of the kingdom plain and simple.

Comment:

Excellent religion professor; he seeks to teach students not only the history, but how we can apply Book of Mormon principles to our lives, and to our future families. I highly recommend his second-half BofM class for returned missionaries. He's really funny, too, and the tests are not difficult as long as you attend class.

Comment:

I have mixed feelings about this guy. I really like him as a person, but not so much as a teacher. Most material on the tests we never covered in class and his lectures were really random- nothing seems to connect together. He's ok, but there's probably better teachers out there.

Comment:

Loves the students. gets involved and learns everyone's name. he is always excited and helpful. pretty funny and also very spiritual. doesn't focus on the history or dates of the book of mormon like some teachers. mostly doctrine based. open to students. good guy. he's young and snowboards.

Comment:

There are better Book of Mormon teachers out there. Taking this class for an easy A is not worth the time. You might as well take another teacher,and learn something. Bro. Facer tried to hard to get through the material and didn't focus on the class learning.

Comment:

I liked the class for the most part. If you take it, don't bother to do the study guides (they don't really help with tests that much), and be prepared for him to go off on a lot of tangeants. If you like that kind of thing, the class is great, but it's definitely not for people who like structure

Comment:

He is good but someone flighty. His lectures seem to always get rushed, so there isn't the greatest discussion. Sometimes it seemed he tryed to hard to have the students like him. Study guides didn't really help.

Comment:

He's a pretty good professor. His lectures are insightful. However, he often gets so caught up in covering material that he overlooks students' comments. (Although probably not purposely.) Tests are relatively hard, but reasonable. Study guides are provided. 2 papers, 1 research 1 reflective.

Excellent teacher, gives great insights and great analogies. You can tell he really cares about the students. I liked his enthusiastic personality. Tests are not difficult, but you do have to read and takes good notes to do well.

I don't know what the other guys were thinking but this guy is wacked. He is so full of himself. Judges anyone who isn't perfect. Extreme Mormon guy. I absolutely hated his class. His interpretation or highway.
