Comment:
I have attended catholic school my entire life and this is the first religion class that received a B- in. She makes you read 3 books and take quizzes on them that make 0 sense. She then gives you a midterm,2 papers, and final THATS IT. FAIL ONE YOURE SCREWED!! Would absolutely never take her again. AVIOD IF POSSIBLE.

I would not take this professor again. Only 2 long papers and a midterm and final. Very tough grader. Does not round up. I would not say she is very helpful either. Lectures go until the last second of class. Boring lectures. Tests were long and difficult. Must go to class and must read every week.

I am seriously warning you when I say DO NOT take her as a professor. Midterm was impossible. Final was even more impossible (and cumulative). Probably the worst when she grades papers. Worst professor/teacher I have ever had for the 18 years I have lived. Save your GPA, save your soul, save your dignity. DO NOT TAKE HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do not take !! None of the notes she makes you take are on the tests. Assigns 2 books to read and makes you write a 5 page paper. Midterm was impossible. Online quizzes every week. Lets you have 4 absences and doesn't excuse any even for medical reasons

Comment:
Possibly the worst teach I have ever had. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. She treats her class like we are going to grad school for religion. When she says "feel free to ask me questions" she doesn't actually mean it. I have asked her intelligent questions and she responds rudely with "why are you asking me that?" Very unapproachable and extremely hard grader.

DO NOT TAKE MANNING. Hardest class I have ever taken, extremely boring lectures and discussions. You read 4 books throughout the semester, 2 at a time, you have reading quizzes every week (you need to read the book to do good). 2 papers (5+ pages) and midterm and final are extremely hard.

Comment:
Do NOT take Manning unless you want to take a reading quiz every week and have a group discussion every class. Very boring and the midterm and final are all questions you will be unable to answer, even if you do all the work and go to class. Papers she assigns are ridiculous and also very difficult to get a good grade on.

Comment:
This course is split into two sections - lecture and discussion. The lecture is great. However, discussions become very repetitive and annoying. She also calls on people randomly which is extremely frustrating (especially, when one does not wish to speak)! 2 Essays (3-4 pages), 1 Final (open note). Also, you MUST do every reading (3 books) to pass!

Two papers, a midterm exam, and a final exam. However, the final was basically the midterm with more questions. Overall, not a bad class that wasn't too much work. But if you ever take her for honors, expect a lot more work. For non-honors students, it isn't too much work and is a pretty decent class

Comment:
This was the most annoying class I have ever taken. Every class we had to form a circle and talk. I felt like I was in group therapy! This course required a lot of reading and there were 3 or 4 papers. No tests, but weeking homework assignments. I was miserable the entire semester and I am glad I survived. However, I did actually learn a lot.

Comment:
While this professor's teaching style may not be for everyone (70% lecture, 30% group/discussion), she is highly competent and very clear. She sticks to the syllabus and is highly qualified to teach the courses she offers. She will not baby her students so most SHU students find her difficult and "rude". I recommend her if you want to learn.

Comment:
The class is extremely boring and the way she lectures does not help. Although, the group discussions can be interesting and insightful. One homework assignment per week, which can be long an annoying. Questions can also be unclear and difficult to find the answers in the books. 2 papers, midterm and final exam...no other tests or quizzes.

Comment:
Manning is very knowledgeable about her subject and it shows in her lectures. Sets an academic tone in Religion & Sexuality class and organizes regular group work to break up the lectures. If you approach the class seriously do the readings and pay attention she will give you the benefit of the doubt. Not a bad professor. Interesting subject.
