Comment:

Dr. Chadwick is a great professor who wants his students to succeed. He gave us all the information that we needed to know to pass the tests and succeed. In this class, an A was 96%, which seems really high, but if you put in the work, it's an easy A. I learned a lot and enjoyed most of his lectures. Overall a good experience.

Comment:

Lectures are a little unorganized, but Chadwick more than makes up for it with his knowledge of the subject. Half the tests are straight from a study guide. I learned a ton about the religions in this class and didn't have to stress about my grade. He's sent out weekly emails since the switch to remote learning which really shows how much he cares.

Comment:

If you want an easy A, take his class. His lectures are long and I found them hard to follow. I liked the material the class covered, but I dreaded going to lectures because they were confusing & slow. When answering questions, he will interpret them how he wants to, which can cause frustration.

Prof Chadwick is my FAV, he's so funny and caring. His class is easy as long as you pay attention and read the books. The semester is broken up into Judaism and Islam halves with two exams, and several reading responses in each. Offers extra credit and all tests (four in total) are on learning suite, so that was nice. He has a lot of stories lol

Bro Chadwick has a ton of experience in the middle east and knows a lot about the Muslim and Jewish communities. You'll learn a lot of history! You learn the doctrine of each faith from 2 textbooks (test at the end of each) and the history (incl dates!)from the lectures (2 tests over lecture). A is 96 or higher but lots of extra cred. Loved it!!

This was a pretty cool religion class. You have to read a lot, but the tests aren't too hard if you study. I liked Professor Chadwick, he was a cool guy and interesting teacher. I would recommend this as a good religion class for those extra religion credits.

Comment:

Prof. Chadwick knows a lot about what he's teaching, but he's really condescending about it. He'll cut off questions before they're even fully asked. Basically, his way of thinking is the only way of thinking. And if you want an A, you better plan on missing no more than 2 questions on each test. Still learned a lot, but not my favorite atmosphere

I LOVE BROTHER CHADWICK!!!!!!!!!! Survey of Judaism and Islam with him was definitely my favorite class ever. He is so captivating, and as someone who has studied these religions and the Middle East for his whole life, he has so much to say. He is very respectful with how he teaches other religions. Go to class and make sure to read the two books!!

I love Brother Chadwick! He is super understanding about extensions on papers and missed attendance. Tests are super easy and online--just find someone to give you the notes if you missed class.

Prof Chadwick is a stellar professor. I don't usually feel the need to leave reviews, but I had a great time taking his class. Straightforward teaching style, no surprises on the test. Super doable. He makes his lectures fairly light hearted. He's a huge football fan so don't be alarmed when his two minute warning goes off every class haha!

Loved this class from Professor Chadwick! He really cares about Islam and Judaism and teaches it beautifully. There're 4 tests, 2 on books, 2 on lectures. Otherwise points are on attendance and responding to readings. He's a great teacher, and really cares about his students! Only bummer is 96% is an A. If you can answer study guide q's you're good

He really knows what he's talking about, and has real respect for Islam and Judaism. It's not too much work: attendance, 4 midterms, and some reading responses (300 words each, only graded on grammar). A few test questions were kind of unfair though (subjective or outside what we discussed). An A is 96, so this was kind of a problem for me.

Brother Chadwick is amazing! I appreciated the respectful way he discusses other cultures and religions, and I learned a lot. He is a dynamic speaker but also very down-to-earth. You definitely need to study for the tests, but he is clear and fair about what will be on them, so you are set up for success. Two great books for the textbooks! A joy.

So easy!! I took it for global awareness. The tests are all online and they're based on 2 books and then 2 lecture tests. Attend class, read the books before the tests, take notes on them all and youll be totally good. Such an easy A

This course has been my favorite religion class thus far! Professor Chadwick is a spectacular professor that I look forward to hearing from. If you take good notes during class and complete your assignments, you're in a good spot to study for tests and to get an A.

Professor Chadwick is such a great guy. He's had tons of experience in the Middle East and definitely knows what he's talking about. Just do the assignments and you'll be fine. The only hard part about the class is making time to read the two books required. Other than that, be sure to take notes on the lectures, there are 2 exams on class lecture.

I LOVE Jeff Chadwick with my whole heart. His class was super easy, interesting, and inspirational. This class is such a fun treat. Show up, enjoy lecture, read the books he assigns (which are short and informative) and take a couple tests that reflect exactly (!) what we learned in class.. and you're good to go! He is such an amazing person. 10/10
