This is honestly such a great class. Not too hard but you still get good information. Learning about the major American religions is fascinating and Heather Warren is a fantastic professor. I had Bradley as a TA and he was also awesome and super helpful. Highly recommend this course!

I honestly don't have much interest in religion, but I really enjoyed my discussion. Tests are easy and even the work for discussion was minor/you could read one page of the reading and talk enough in class to get your points. Warren was good overall

This class is unbelievably easy. Classes are a bit boring just go and take notes and you'll be sure to ace the test. She gives you a sheet with all of the possible terms/quotes/essay questions that could be on the test so all you have to do is make sure you know all of those and the tests are a breeze. Discussions really very section to section but I would highly recommend Mae-- she rocks and class is actually really interesting and you learn a lot. #tcf2016

Professor Warren is awesome, however this class drove me crazy because of my TA, Charlie. He clearly had favorites in discussion and was a hard grader. I took my test to him during office hours and was able to argue back about 5 points due to him taking off for ridiculous things (I said Dorothy Day helped feed the poor rather than "opened soup kitchens"). In the end I got a B+

This class has been one of the greatest I have had the opportunity to take! I loved the course material, the exams were so easy, and Professor Warren is the most friendly, relaxed, and flexible professor! Everyone should take this class

This is the second class I've taken with Professor Warren and she's probably my favorite teacher I've had at UVA. The class is pretty straightforward, mostly just looking at how religion has been a part of American history, which is really easy because a lot of the context most people have already learned in history classes (MLK, great depression, Cold War, etc), so that makes the new information a lot easier to learn. Sometimes lectures can be a little dull and you have to take a lot of notes, but before each test (2 midterms and a final), Warren sends out a review sheet with possible terms/essays that might be on the test and then she'll put about half of them on the actual exam, so as long as you know what is on the review sheet its really easy to do well. She also likes to play the guitar in class sometimes and is just a really entertaining person in general, so definitely take this class if you get a chance.

The class is pretty easy, and Professor Warren gives you plenty of resources in preparation for the exams. There are two midterms and a final and for each one of these she hands out a study guide that has all the questions she's going to ask (and a few that she will leave off the exam) so if you just go to lectures, take good notes, and prepare well from the study guides you should be fine. Her lectures are very entertaining as she demonstrates a real passion about the subject. She's kind of strange in her own cute little way and she'll often sing and play songs on her guitar if it relates to the time period or religion we are studying. I had Daniel Wise as a TA and he was really great. I wouldn't even buy the textbook if I were you, though, I don't think I opened it once. The course packet provides readings for discussion sections and that's all you really need. I'd definitely recommend this class.

The class is really easy since she gives you a study guide of the terms and identifications for the two midterms and the final. There's a lot of boring readings that you can mostly skim since the TA's review the material. Sometimes it's hard to discern the main idea but the TA I had (Daniel Wise) was very helpful and made time for his students. You do not really need the Religion in America textbook. Overall, an easy class for a history/humanities credit.

I took this course because I heard it was pretty easy and I needed to satisfy my humanities requirement. However, I found the material really boring. Professor Warren requires that you handwrite all lecture notes (unless you need accommodations of course), but she speaks super fast. She really knows and enjoys the subject, but I felt like her lectures were jumbled at time and I couldn't distinguish which facts were important at first (you do pick this up after taking the test and knowing what she deems as important). The grade breakdown consists of a discussion grade, two midterms, and one final. Discussion involves talking about the primary reading of the week. This was one aspect of the class that I disliked - there was just way too much reading every week. There is not only the reading from the textbook (usually brief, quickly describes the religious movement) but also a usually long reading from the course book. Charlie Cotherman was my TA, and I thought he was good and led discussion well. Discussion is mandatory, which is sort of a bummer since I didn't find it that helpful. While she gives you a study guide beforehand for the exams, it really was not as helpful as I thought it would be. Sure, you get to know which topics to study, HOWEVER you don't really know what she wants for the answer...Overall, I guess this class would have been more interesting if I was actually interested in the material. Take it if you kind of want to know more about America's religious history or are just interested in religious studies in general.

Prof. Warren was extremely enthusiastic about the subjects as well as engaging during lecture. Lecture attendance is a MUST though, she doesn't really focus on the textbook at all
