Comment:

Dr. Vande Kappelle is a true man of faith and wisdom. He strives to try to relate to people of all faiths in his class, while providing context to the material at hand. His class was not only enriching in knowledge, but also strengthened my faith. When in his office, he welcomes any questions regarding class or any discussion about faith and life.

Dr. VandeKappelle is a great guy. His tests are difficult but all of the material comes from his in class lectures. If you take notes and review them, you will get good grades. He is passionate about his work and if you need help, he is more than happy to help you.

Comment:

201 is Old Testament. Tests are difficult, but manageable if you take decent notes. Pop quizzes for OT, but if you read 2x, you will be fine and he drops lowest 2 quiz scores. Considers effort in your grade

He is difficult only because he expects a lot. He has been by favorite and best prof thus far. He effectively creates a positive atmosphere in which the class material is easier than it already is. Sounds like a joke but it's true.

He is the worst teacher i have ever had. He gives you way too much work and he preaches all the time. If you dont want someone telling you every MWF that your going to hell dont take his class. You learn nothing... his class is good for sleep.

Best professor I've had: interesting, even inspiring in lecture, welcoming of questions, accessible & easy to talk to. Not too difficult once you learn how to study for his tests (I've always gotten A's on them just studying the night before).
