Comment:
Great guy. Passionate about the subject and cares deeply about his students. Reading could be a bit much - usually 50-100 or so pages a night - but grading was fair and as long as you participate and put some genuine effort into the final paper you will do well. I strongly recommend taking this professor.

SO tough. Nice guy, but impossible grading. Only 2 papers and a mid-term and final (but they're both impossible!!!)

Comment:
good guy, he means well but comes off pretty boring. ask him any question and he'll do more than enough to help you out. tell you everything you need to know for tests and papers in class, but you'll probably have already fallen asleep before you hear them. easy enough class just try not to take him early in the morning!

makes you read over 40 pages of dry material a night then expects you to understand it all by the next class and gets mad if you don't. boring boring class.

Soooooo boring. Nice guy, really, but I'm not sure if -he- even knows what he's talking about. You don't really learn anything, except that tangents really can go anywhere. Not worth taking at all.

It's a difficult class, but if you really want to learn Catholicism from someone who knows, he can open up your eyes

Take his class if you want to go back to your Sunday school days. I felt like I was being lectured about being a good Catholic instead of learning about theology. Hard grader, incredibly boring.

We ran out of time... had the test on a book Friday, finished the book the next Monday. The man goes off on irrelevant, illogical rants -- apparently animals have souls because "animus" is soul in Latin.

people say Betz is easy... and the class part is- just sit there and listen to his crazy religious rambings BUT he does not like to give out A's. To him, an 80 is a good grade. take him and you will be bored to death AND get a B for it.

Class day to day is easy. Graded on 2 papers, midterm and final only. Course material is dry, but it's religion so it has to be. Compared to other theology profs I think he's one of the easiest.
