Comment:
Extremely approachable, and open to other beliefs. It is easier to teach a class of Christians, but the fact that I am not Christian did not phase him. Jokes cute but and a little corny. He's interesting, sweet and an all-around good guy. I highly recommend him. He's semi-retiring, though, so get him while you can!

I'm going against the grain but I didn't like him very much. His classes were interesting and teaching pretty good. However, he enjoyed making the students think by challenging their beliefs but did not enjoy being put on the spot himself.

AMAZING class, but only because of the insight, intelligence, and thought-provoking influence of the instructor. Fun, easygoing atmosphere, but also soul probing discussions that would leave me pondering things for weeks to come. I'm still reaping the benefits of this class, almost a year later.

This class is "OK." Nothing more though. Zaums is a really nice guy and teaches very well. Likes to tell jokes and have fun in the classroom. The only thing that gets to me, though, is that he THINKS he is a cute old man. Indeed, he's a nice guy, but the cuteness gets old. Essay exams: YUCK. But if you want to have a good time, take Zaums.

I encourage anyone who has not taken this class to request Zaums. He is one of the most eye opening teachers I ever had. He looks at a subject from all angles making the class very fulfilling. He's awesome!

Really good teacher, enjoyable personality and class. Less controversial than others theology instructors at this reasonably Religous campus. Class was about 30% other religions and the rest is obvious.

Amazing teacher! Unlike most of the other modern belief teachers, Zaums will not push a certian religion on you. He's a REALLY nice guy too! Great class! Really, you should go out of your way to get Zaums!

I loved him so much I took him for all three of my theology credits. He was a great professor who made class fun, he was the best theology professor that I had in my 10 years of Catholic education. He was understanding, he was funny, and made class fun.

Took his Biblical Themes class over 10 years ago and still remember him as an awesome teacher! Very knowledgeable and incorporated a Seder dinner into the course, which was a fun learning exeperience. Highly recommended!

Dr. Zaums is the best teacher I could imagine for a religion class. He doesn't try to make you believe what he believes. He is always open to your opinion and his classes are very engaging. I had him for two classes and he was equally exciting in both!

Zaums is by far the best teacher I have ever had. I am not a religious person, but I loved this class. He made religion interesting for everyone. I wish I could have a Zaums doll because he also happens to be the most adorable old man I have ever seen.

Zaums rocks! His lesson plans flow so well, you never want to miss a class. Also, he has all sorts of visual stuff to add to the lecture. All of this on top of him being the cutest little old man ever.

Dr. Zaums is great! If you're looking to take Modern Belief (which we all have to take) this is the person with whom you should take it. I hear he's also great in all the other classes he teaches! He's the best!!
