Comment:

Online. It is impossible to do poorly in this course. You have like 7 books and are supposed to read all of them but his assignment is to find 2 main points from each reading and just write 1-2 pages on it; therefore, you can get away with reading 10 pages from each book. If you need the gen ed take it because it is the easiest you will find.

Comment:

This was for his J-Term class. We read three books and had a final 7-10 page paper. If you are looking for an easy A def take this class. Also, if you actually want to learn talk to the professor he has a lot of interesting things to say. Class is really only from 6:30-9:00 instead of 6-10.Funny/Awesome guy. Great class! Highly recomend it.

This is a good man that has important things to say about faith. I felt his personal experience was more valuable than anything we read in class. The class is fairly easy.

Comment:

Turn in homework by the end of semester okay with you? attend class 80% of the time? No tests okay with you? Can you write a 1 page paper on a book? You have an A!!! (I never even read the books-just wrote papers off summaries on Amazon and I got an A) Classes can be a little boring, but tolerable. Easy A.

Extremely easy teacher, probably the easiest I've ever had at Elmhurst. I would highly recommend. And honestly, who cares what he thinks about your beliefs. You're there for the grades, right?

An incredibly easy teacher...night class only, but this guy is very easy going as long as you can sit through the boring conversation he has with himself.
