She loves her area - therefor talks alot. You will take a lot of notes. She does give you a review sheet however for the midterm and final that is basically the test. So go over that - but be careful because she looks for specific details - Really isn't terribly difficult - don't need to do ALL of reading - basically for discussions - but if you can come up with somehting to talk about otherwise you are golden.
Although the lectures were really boring, Professor Warren is enthusiastic and you doe learn a lot in the class. She gives you the midterm and final before the test, but in exchange you have to do a lot of preparation for it. As long as you are willing to study a lot for the final and midterm you will be fine.
the course was called western religious traditions, but my ta himself said it was a history class, which wasn't what i wanted. and professor warren grades really harshly. she is so nit-picky. i spent an excess of amount studying for her midterms and finals, but it didn't pay off. i think my other finals actually were affected by that. even though i felt i really knew the material i would get tons of points off for not having exactly what she wanted, which i don't feel grading should be like. she was knowledgeable and enthusiastic, but pretty hard.
This was an interesting class, through the lectures were long and your hand would cramp up. Most of the reading, while there was a lot of it, was fairly interesting. Prof. Warren really cares about how her students do and even curved our first test by 13 points b/c of how poorly most did. I'd definitely take this class if you are at all interested in comparative religion.
Professor Warren is extremely knowledgable and enthusiastic, and the course material is interesting. However, her lectures aren't very clearly organized, always run over, and deal with A LOT of information. She essentially gives you the test before hand, which makes it easier, but also makes her very nit-picky about grades. Readings aren't that necessary.
The class is relatively slow even though professor warren is very enthusiastic about the topic. The readings are not really even needed. There are two midterms and a final, but for each she gives you a study guide. Be careful her grading is very nit-picky and you have to memorize certain specific things about each thing. My TA Ben Maton was very nice and helpful.
Very interesting class, and Professor Warren is a great lecturer. Because she's so passionate about the subject, going to class is actually fun. Just make sure to take the study guides seriously when you get them. This class does a great job of presenting the history of the major Western religions. Also, Ben did a great job as a TA.
