Comment:

This prof is all over the place. She's clearly interested in what she's teaching but her lectures are completely disorganized and her exams are based entirely on memorizing minute details. Only take it if you need it as a prerequisite for something else.

Comment:

One word: Flake. If you enjoy seeing some new age ex-hippy flit and flicker around for an hour, dropping things, and generally making a fool of themselves, then by all means, take this class. Lectures are all over the place. Even the TAs are flummoxed as to what she is trying to teach. Read the books, write the paper, and stay home for this one.

Comment:

Repeatedly told us she was giving too much info, which left the impression of being disorganized. Seemed that many of the questions asked of her were answered with "I don't know". On the positive side, was obviously passionate about the course subjects and lead interesting field trips.

Comment:

I can't believe the complaints about this prof! She introduces an issue, explains it IN DEPTH, then summarizes each point before carrying on. Those of you who find this prof unintelligent or difficult are going to have an excruciating time in university! Exams are mostly multiple choice and FACTUAL!Yes,you need to memorize notes-DUH. Nice to boot.

Comment:

Entertaining (but really disorganised and scatterbrained). Luckily, the exams are incredibly easy--just memorisation, really. You'd have to try to fail this course.

Comment:

Had never taught the course before so really she had no idea what she was doing or really why she should be doing anything other than summarizing scripture. Her final exam was painfully difficult and I'm pretty sure she had to scale it.

Doesn't understand the material, and she doesn't understand the goals of the class. She has wasted a whole semester on things we don't have to know for the course. I can't believe I will have to have thie class on my transcripts. :(

Comment:

Horribly scattered and disorganized! In class she just summarizes the Bible - she doesn't provide insight into meaning, and discussions are pointless because if you ask her a question more than half the time she just says "Hmmm...I don't know!"

Comment:

It's an understatement to say that she's enthusiastic. Time flies with her lectures, but she's not that knowledgable, and is often incapable of answering questions. Overall, though, great prof, great class, hard exams.

She did the best with a boring subject. Its a class for ARTS students only who don't mind boring things like this. Not for Science or Engineering students, too dumbed down and slow.

Quite hard exams, but she is an awesome prof. Very passionate and animated in her teaching style, which always makes things interesting. But gets the information across clearly and interestingly, and is a great person.
