Prod Edwards made the lectures super interesting. All of the work is super easy as long as you pay attention to lectures, and take notes. Same with the test, as long as you are paying attention in class, taking notes and studying you will definitely pass this class.

He is very passionate and caring about what he does. Test can be passed easily (they are matching and answering about 2 easy essay questions). Homework is 10 questions and it helps bring up the grade. One of the nicest professors I have had. Would take again!!!

He is a solid, fair professor. Gives a study guide that has everything you need for the exams (which are straightforward, mainly vocab) and as long as you study it youre solid. There are about 4 exams and a project with homework for each unit. You have to use the textbook! Easy to get an A when you do all the work and study.

Professor Edwards teaches a pretty easy class. Tests are pretty easy with matching with a word bank and 2 pretty easy essay questions if you understand the values taught in each unit. Homework is 10 questions fill in the blank or true false and you don't even have to read the chapter to answer the questions. I got an A in the class.

Comment:

Okay so if you wanna feel like youre in the 1980s then I recommend this course! He does not post lectures online, only accepts work in person and cannot be submitted online. Insanely boring, with his monotone voice. You have to memorize all of the readings, tough grader & his tests are pretty hard & make up pretty much all of your grade.

Comment:

A well-read and kind professor, but a rather tough grader. Especially with papers. Very textbook heavy, prepare to spend a lot of time reading. Things like homework are a very low amount of your final grade, so things are weighted heavily around tests. Overall, a solid choice.

I really enjoyed my class with Prof. Edwards. His lectures are very interesting in my opinion and he is very fair and somewhat lenient even in his grading. The class is kind of hard because of all the reading and memorization, but that is to be expected. Would definitely recommend.

No group project which is awesome. Class is boring but he makes it as enjoyable as it can be. The test is basically the study guide. One easy 10 questions homework almost every week. One easy one page paper due the end of the semester. Do your part and you will pass.

Comment:

Professor Edwards really knows his stuff, he sometimes goes over things that will not be on the test. I suggest taking the study guides and only focusing on noting that material from the lectures. For homework, you have to read the textbooks and answer 10 questions, but then in class he reads passages straight from the book. Easy if you do the work

He is an amazing professor. He really wants you to pass so he makes the tests and all his works extremely easy. Hes extremely easygoing as long as youre coming to class on time and not leaving early. Do all the homeworks. And hes an extremely easy grader. All of his lectures are interesting since he makes them into stories.

If you like reading and you like Mythology, then he's the prefect teacher. He gives out 3 essays two of them are pretty easy, maybe at least a page and a half long, the third was longer and near the end of the semester. He had us watch Star Wars and talk about the traits of a hero. Really, as long as you don't slack off, you'll be fine :)

I took professor Edwards for mythology, and what a great class this is. You have to love reading to enjoy his class, no way around it. But if you love to read and enjoy ancient myths and religions, this class is awesome. His tests are very easy if you do the reading and homework. He assigns two 1-page papers. Easy A, great teacher!

The class is very interesting and the material is presented well. Simply put, it's a lot of work. Sometime 4 discussions a week with a minimum of 3 responses each (that's 16 posts/week). There are 3 papers that aren't terribly difficult but are graded very harshly. The exams take forever to finish, but they are open book. Overall, a good experience

If you take Humanties with professor Edwards you MUST do the study guides. Half of the stuff he talks about won't be on the test so mostly focus on the study guide and your basically guaranteed an A.

I took Professor Edwards World Religions course online and while I feel like I learned a lot I would not take his class again. While I excelled at anything that did not require writing whenever we did have to write he gave me bad grades with no explanation. While I'm receiving A's in my other classes for essays he is giving me D's and F's.

Comment:

DON'T TAKE HIM!! He is a very very tough grader. He has 3 essays which are literally same grade as the exams, no matter how good you do on them, you won't get better than a C. Took him online, worst experience in my life. He gives so much work and alot of readings. I would recommend choosing another prof. I had to pick him cuz no more prof was left
