Lively, cheerful person. Always ready to help. Do not bore. His lectures were interesting to me. Professional. A living classic of Religious Studies. But you need to get used to his style.

Comment:
scatterbrained is a good definition for this guy. He's nice, but he rambles on about the most useless stuff. All the tests are based from his book. No one ever showed up to class unless we were taking a test.

This class could have been interesting, but this guy is wayyy weird. He seems nice enough, but he's pretty scatterbrained and does NOT appreciate any opposing viewpoints ("the problem of religion", eh?). His papers and quizzes weren't horrible, but we basically taught ourselves, and wrote whatever he wanted...Not a good professor :(

Comment:
Hard, unclear professor. Plays favorites and does not take kindly to opposing views. I do not understand how he has a good rating. He is a nice teacher and a friendly guy, but he speaks in a way that is confusing to everyone, his readins are too dense to comprehend, and his tests are bogus, opinionated 'short answers'.Dnt take him if you want an A.

Very nice and helpful professor. The quizzes, midterm, and final are nearly all reading-based so you HAVE to do the reading (hint: take good notes while reading it will help you remember the details). If you do that, you will get an A for sure.

i took a course on RELIGION & SCIENCE with strenski and he spent the entire, ENTIRE, lecture before the midterm showing a ppt slideshow of his dogs, he's useless and i learned absolutely nothing from his class, even the TA apologized for the class bc we had learned nothing to test on, waste of time, never take him ever

He is one of the few professors on campus who does not look down on his students. He is very helpful with paper topics and yes he assigns a lot of reading. If you know classical music, he will love you in his class.

Comment:
He assigns ALOT of reading and the lectures in class doesn't relate to the readings. He tends to stray off topic but the good thing is that the midterms and finals aren't as hard as you may think they are. As long as you read, you'll do fine in the class
