Comment:

So. I took religions of the East with this professor, and it was fine. He goes down so many rabbit trails that everyone writes papers for other classes during his class. It was an easy A class, so for that I say he's an overall good-ish teacher but it left much to be desired. I was excited to learn and I can't say that I did.

Dr. Rose is a wonderful professor. You will enjoy this class if you approach it with genuine interest for the material. You'd be hard-pressed to find someone with more experience in the field.

Comment:

You could never attend class and still get an A. Dr. Rose is hilarious and such a great guy, but lectures are boring and repetitive. The only material covered in the test are what is in his powerpoints which he emails you at the end of the week. It has been refreshing to have a professor who cares more about you learning, than giving grades.

Rose is great and most people didn't even show up to class and are passing. He tests you only on what he covers on the powerpoint and that isn't too hard either.

Dr. Rose is one of the best professors at CNU. He is funny and passionate about what he teaches. He shared his knowledge and life experience to relate it to the class. He made the class fun and was very pleasant to deal with.

Professor Rose is hands down my favorite professor at CNU. He is so passionate about what he teaches and genuinely cares about his students. As long as you're at least somewhat interested in the course, his lectures are really engaging. Plus he makes study guides for every test so they're really easy and straightforward as long as you study.

Comment:

He is a great professor, but loves to talk about religions and not just what is going to be on the test (so its easier to pay attention if you are actually interested). Tests are pretty easy if you study and am able to answer the questions on the study guide. Overall: I suggest only taking this class if interested in religions, or you'll get bored.

One of the simplest classes at CNU. Everything you need is online. I was let down at the end of the semester however. My grade ended in .49 and he refused to round it up which cost me a letter grade. Well prior to final grades, I spoke to him regarding it and he said there was nothing he would do. 1/100 of a point cost me and he wouldn't help out.

I loved this professor. His Mindfulness, Meditation, and Thought was wonderful. Although a little messy at times, I think I learned more in this class than I have in the past two years here on campus. So long as you go to class with an open mind and have read the books, you'll love him and the class!!

KRose is so knowledgeable about religions and he has such an upbeat attitude and passion when he teaches in each class. You don't actually have to go to pass but it's so enjoyable to be there that I never missed a class. Divine information coming from such an experienced and open individual. 100% recommend him as a professor.

Dr. Rose is a great professor. He does not have a textbook but several scholarly texts that we read from every week. Main grade is a paper, some short in-class assignments, and at-home movies that require a response. Cares more about absorption and learning than grades. Very willing to help you develop your ideas inside and outside of class

Likes to talk about himself all the time. Talks too much about Christianity in a Religions of the East class. Goes off on rants too much some interesting things said but not enough to want to stay in the class all the time

Goes on rants every class. Really hard to pay attention, and he never lets out early or cancels. The stangest things set him off and if you try to leave early/sneeze too loud/walk in late he will indirectly call you out to the entire class.

You will learn more about random things in his classes than you will about religion or the course topic, but he makes it interesting. Take a class with him if you want to take a class just for fun because he will entertain you. Tests are not hard at all. Just take notes, repeat exactly what he says, study and your fine.

Horrible Professor. I have learned nothing from him and this class is a waste of my money. I wish he would talk more about religion then about himself.

So boring. Goes off on rants about his days at Harvard more than he talks about the material. Barely keeps your interest in class.

Comment:

Such an AMAZING professor. His teaching style is definitely unique but very interesting. Makes you look at religion from a broader perspective by the end of the class. Grading isn't a huge deal to him. He's more interested in his students actually absorbing the information. You do not have to show up to class but you'll find yourself wanting to go.
