Professor Warren is great. She's a very interesting lecturer and she does a great job of delivering very thorough information. Coming to lectures is crucial to doing well in her class, though non-discussion readings are unnecessary. In addition, she gives you the test in advanced which is really nice. If you come to class every day, engage in discussion sections, and do a thorough job on the review sheets, this class is both easy and rewarding.
This is my favorite class to recommend. Professor Warren is so awesome, and even though the material can be a little dry sometimes, she is always cracking jokes and making funny comments. I took this class in the fall and her other class (RELG 2160) in the spring, and they are two of the best classes I've taken here. The reading isn't super necessary and before every test she gives you a review sheet that has everything that could be on the test, which really isn't much at all, so its very easy to do well. She's also just a great person, and offered to let students come over for thanksgiving if they didn't have other plans. Take this class!
The professor is amazing, and the reading isn't actually necessary if you can bs your way through discussion because before each exam she hands out a list of all possible test questions, about half of which will be on the actual exam. Just make a study guide (or look one up on Quizlet), memorize it, and you're guaranteed an A without having done any reading.
Heather Warren is an incredible person and professor. Although her lectures are as dry as a desert, she really wants everyone to do well in her class. It is incredibly easy and consists of 2 midterms, a final, and a discussion participation grade. She practically gives out the test in advance so if you complete the study guide, the exams are cake. Interesting material, incredible TA (Patrick Derdall) and very easy.
This class is very much a history class and less so a theology class. The lectures are pretty boring and the material is thrown at you very quickly, but I've found that the material we learned has been useful to know in other areas of my education and life in general. Warren gives you very solid study guides so that there is no room for question as to what will be on the test, so long as you complete these and memorize the dates you can get an A. Be sure to know what your specific TA is looking for in your responses though, since they are all short answer and can get picky about what you must include.
In all seriousness, this may be one of the easiest courses you ever experience at a school like UVA. If you need an easy class to round out a tough schedule, look no further than this one. Professor Warren is an incredibly intelligent person. From what I hear, she was a Rhodes Scholar back in the day. She's interesting in lectures and really cares that you actually learn something. Don't get me wrong, it's not easy to get an A, but I got an A- and I really didn't put in much effort. I don't think I really read any of the books, she just has a course reading packet you should skim before discussion. Two midterms and a final plus discussion points make up the grade. Two 50 min lectures per week plus a discussion. Patrick was a fantastic TA, I believe he did his undergrad at UChicago. If he is still a TA for 1010 I would 100% recommend him. Go to any review sessions that are offered, trust me. I switched into this class after I dropped something else at the last minute and it was a good choice to make. You don't need to have any interest in religious studies to take it, although it obviously helps if you're interested.
Heather Warren is AMAZING. I have never met a professor who cares so much about their students. She is extremely accommodating and compassionate. Her lectures are essentially her just talking and telling the story of history, so pay attention and take good notes. Nothing is up on powerpoints for you to copy. That being said, her lectures are interesting and everything you need for the exam will be in your notes, as long as you take them. She provides a study guide before each test that is the ACTUAL test, as well as some additional problems. She essentially trims the study guide down to make the test, so as long as you know the study guide, you will be fine. I took this class for my historical studies requirement, and I am so glad I did. I am not very good at history, and I managed to do well in this class. On top of that, I experienced it with a great professor! I cannot recommend this class enough.
