RELG 1010

This class is pretty easy in my opinion, and is definitely good to fulfill gened requirements, but honestly, it's not as interesting as I thought it would be. I like Professor Warren, and lectures are decent, but I guess I just wasn't super interested by the content matter. It's a pretty easy course-- All of the things on exams are given to you in a study guide ahead of time. If you do the study guide, you'll do fine. There are a good amount of readings, but I stopped doing any of them about halfway through the course and I got an A.

This class is fairly easy. Honestly, the readings are pretty useless, and your TA will most likely break it down for you. I made the mistake the first week of actually trying to read the Goldberg and Rayner text, but it was completely unnecessary. Go to lecture if you want to get all the details for exams. Of course you could just rip your answers from quizlet, but she'll actually give you the important details and you won't be scrambling around on the wikipedia page the night before the exam. Lectures are fairly boring and she talks quick, so every class is kind of a mad dash to write everything down, but this is really the only work you need to do for the class, besides prepare for the exam. For exams, she'll give out a sheet a week or two in advance with the IDs and Essay prompts that could possibly be on the exam, and it's your job to find the answers and memorize it. There won't be any surprises on the exams; it will just be a couple of IDs from the sheets and one of the essay questions. As long as you do your job and memorize the answers you should get an A. The only trick with the exams is to just put as much information as possible in each of your answers, especially the essays. They want explicit details, not an argumentative essay. #tCFfall22

Going into the class, I was expecting an easy religion to reward my humanities credit, however it entailed to be more than that. Lectures are not recorded and Professor Warren is a very thorough lecturer, thus while attendance is not "mandatory" it is in the sense that you want to have the proper information on the tests. The class is also fast-paced and is no-technology so be prepared to write quickly. My best piece of advice is make use of your discussion section and TA's office hours, they are especially helpful! Professor Warren gives a review sheet for possible exam topics, so you can prepare beforehand and make sure you have well developed answers by talking over with your TA. If Lauren is a TA, she was awesome and I really recommend getting into her section! With some added effort the class is fully manageable.

I took this class to fulfill one of my gen ed disciplines, but I ended up thoroughly enjoying it. The lectures are fast-paced, and she doesn't provide slides with the information, so be prepared to write fast. Even though the material was dry at times, Professor Warren's humor made up for it. This class can be very easy if you pay attention and utilize your TAs. If you take this class, try to enroll in Lauren's discussion—she is extremely helpful and understanding. Take this if you want a GPA boost!

I took this class to fulfill one of my disciplines thinking that it was going to be an easy A class, but this IS NOT. I got an A at the end and I thought this was not easy, so go to every lecture because those are not recorded and go to discussions/office hours because those helped me a lot. Prof Warren lectures for the whole 50 minutes so write everything you hear because it will help you on the exam; the review guide is literally the exam. If you're good with memorization and actually have some interest with religion, then I would recommend this class.

This was an easy class in my opinion. The textbook readings are essentially optional, and as long as you skim the other readings you'll be fine for discussion, where your TA explains it anyway. Your grade is just 2 midterms, a final, and discussion participation points, but Prof Warren gives you a study guide before every exam, so you know what's coming anyway. You do definitely have to attend every lecture, as she bases her tests around the information she gives in lecture. I'd recommend to complete a gened requirement.
