This professor is really easy. I highly recomend taking him if you want a really easy class with very little work. 1 research paper (written throughout the semester), online midterm, in class final.

Only the beginning 5 or 6 weeks of the semester pertain to watching films and writing about it as well with the questions he asks. The rest of the semester is a breeze to catch up on any missing assignments if hadnt done during those beginning weeks. The midterm and final exam were super easy and the research paper is interesting!

Prof. Cummings is super chill! The class has 1 online midterm w/ a multiple choice part (he gives you the answers) & a written part, a research paper and an online multiple choice final (he gives you the answers). He also does a TON of Canvas discussions, so get ready for that. In class we literally just watched movies & left early. Great & easy GE

Didn't really teach, takes attendance, show up, watch a video or short lecture. Online discussion posts, one paper, midterm and final, both have MC & written portions. Really smart guy (straight outta the 60's) and would of learned more if he actually taught instead of assigning 100 pages of reading each week (didn't ever do it). Okay at best.

Do the work and you'll pass. However, no syllabus so you're on your own when it comes to finding out what assignments to do and when they are due. Takes attendance often. Rarely lectures, class is made up of watching super old videos. Assignments are discussion post which are fairly easy. Easy class just not as interesting as I was hoping for.

Go to class, randomly takes attendance and counts it for final grade. BORING class, watched so many videos. Did not lecture, probably only the last 2 weeks of class. Class heavily graded by online discussion posts, and final. Books only necessary for final paper, can wing everything else.

The class is unstructured and there is no contact with the professor. Do every single post, they don't have due dates. A midterm with a short response, a final with a short response and a research paper. Class isn't hard at all there is just no structure so you're on your own. Time all your posts and you wont need the books.

This class isn't "difficult". But does require work, and there is no structure. While he labels the posts weekly, there are no due dates. He has no interaction with the class at all, you don't even get an email sent reminding you when the midterm/final is. You're required to check. Overall, you can easily get an A if you do the work.

Do not take him. It was an online class, and it was so unorganized and he was not clear of what he expected of you. Take another professor if you can.

Professor Cummings is a great teacher. He's extremely knowledgable in the field and makes this class very interactive and fun. He also makes the tests easy to study for and ace once you take them. I really enjoyed learning about the world religions and would recommend taking him for all his classes!

even though I did not physically sit in this class, it was a little challenging and with all of the reading but it was very insightful. I would definitely take this professor again. he offers extra credit opportunities and responds in a timely manner.

Easiest A I have ever gotten. Weekly posts about the religion you're learning about are required on Moodle. Most classes are literally just watching a film or short lectures. You do need to show up, he takes attendance. So much extra credit is offered. The midterm and final are online - take the practice quizzes, they're identical to the real test.

Very easy class. Textbooks are just regular books, very easy reads. Have to watch films relating to the different religions, nobody in the class did them until the end of the semester but he gave us an extension to turn them in so nobody should be complaining about them Mid-Term and Final are a online multiple choice and essay part Would take again

Professor Cummings is very unorganized and unclear about what he expects from his students. It was a week before the final and he begins to explain that we needed to have done 10 forums on moodle in which he not once spoke about, a research paper, a multiple choice final, AND a short answer response on all the readings.
