Online class was organized. Reading, lectures and videos all connected. Michelson's audio lectures and his emails and feedback on grading kept the flow going - felt personal even though we never met in person. He grades uber fast - faster than I could get an uber ride!

I have heard it said that learning Hebrew was near impossible, but this is not true. The professor made learning Hebrew enjoyable, and engaged me to keep studying this language! It was a delight to take this course.

This was my third Michelson class I have taken. I loved this class, through this I have a greater knowledge of the prophets and the OT. This course has helped me greatly in my understanding of the prophets, who were new to me when I began this course. I engage the prophets more now than ever. Everyone should take this course.

Comment:

Through the help of Dr. Michelson, I now understand the role and mission of the prophets in new a light. As I am not a theology major, I was nervous about the 4000 level class. But Dr. Michelson explained the material in a humble, patient, and knowledgable manner that I could follow. Few teachers embody these attributes better than Dr. Michelson.

I have enjoyed every moment of each class that I have taken with Michelson. He is relevant, knowledgeable, and relatable to students. I also appreciate his passion for ministry and specifically bringing the Old Testament back to the pulpit. I have learned so much from him and continue to be encouraged and influenced by his teachings in my ministry.

Dr Michelson is the best professor I have ever had. At the beginning he can be intimidating but when you get to know him he is a very awesome professor. He makes class interesting. He sees potential in you even when no one else does. He wants you to understand the difference reading the bible appropriately can do to ones life and others.

Comment:

Dr Michelson is one of the best professors I have ever had. I feel very comfortable in class and outside of class with asking for help with the material if I need it. He is the type of professor who not only cares about your class work but cares about you as a person. He makes sure you understand the material as well as you can.

Comment:

With a title that includes "Pentateuchal" - didn't sound inviting. Michelson made it great. A reasonable amount of reading and assignments. Lecture connection most stands out. He connected themes in Genesis and Exodus across the the Bible as a kind of imprint for the entire Canon. I'll never read the Bible the same. It all connects!

Comment:

I had to take this required class. I learned a lot as Michelson reinforced key issues in his lectures that connected stories together. Textbook was dull. What he says in class shows up on essay exams every time.

Comment:

Summer Online Bible class! Should have been boring - but proved interesting. I was pleasantly surprised at how fast Michelson was at replying to emails/discussion. His lectures were clear - and he used other good content. For a class I was dreading, I enjoyed it and have been in touch with Michelson since the class ended. A really nice guy.
