Out of 15 years of school, Professor Lane is the best teacher I have ever had. I took this because it counted as a capstone course. I never cared/knew anything about religion before. He changes the way you think about EVERYTHING. Every class is fascinating. His teaching style is amazing. I wish I could take him for every course!

Taking this professor is potentially a life changing experience. Makes you challenge your beliefs. His classes were both informative and entertaining. Let's you redo midterm and final over again until you receive the grade you want.

Comment:
Positive learning experience. He pushes you to recognize your biases and limits and challenges you to work past them. The content of his lectures consists of some very deep difficult material, but he puts a humorous and relatable spin on it. Potentially a life altering class. Dr. Lane is one of those teachers that makes you glad you went to college

Great teacher! Very smart. Tough class with lots of reading and writing. Lectures are mind expanding experiences. Bent over backwards to help students with work, any time.

Brilliant, intelligent and funny. His lectures were always thought provoking and interesting. You'll learn a lot and you might change your own views and beliefs after taking this class with him. I also loved his personal stories. The midterm and final are difficult but his grading is fair and open for you to make improvements.

Challenging, fun, and extremely intelligent. The time during class lectures flew because of his dynamic teaching style. His Mid-Term and Final are difficult, but he forces you to think beyond your intelligence level. Highly recommended - loved Dr. Lane!

He's a great guy, very energetic, and obviously loves his job. However, not much of what he said in class had to do with the take-home midterm or final. Furthermore, he required a LOT of online videos that we had to watch, some of which were hours long. Also, the midterm and final were monstrous in length (approx 20 pages typed SINGLE SPACED).

He's one of the more laid back professors at CSULB. He's such a cool guy and is very understanding! His views are interesting but half the time I have no idea what he is rambling about but that's ok! As long as you put in effort and he knows you're thinking, you will pass with flying colors! I guarantee it!

Phenomenal Professor. I have taken him for two courses and he goes the extra mile for students to understand the material. Exceptionally insightful. He will make you think deeply about religion.

Comment:
This class was not what I expected. Extremely offensive. Used the "F" word many times. For a professor, I found this poor control of the English language highly annoying. Beyond that, the class primarily became one where there is little tolerance for belief overall. I think its right for people to question, but this was obscenely done.

I found this class to be fascinating and not in the least offensive. Professor Lane was Wilson's idea of consilience and how subjects like biology and physics are important when studying religion. His use of the F word was in a context to explain survival of the fittest.

Comment:
Terrible class. We spent 2 hours talking about the size of monkey testicles and his illogical reasoning concerning science and other basis for **** thinkings..Such as "its ok for a man to cheat on a woman because women are naturally libidinous," Or worse yet was his use of F Bombs. I'm sorry, but this is UNEDUCATED. And OFFENSIVE.

Class was really interesting and Lane has the funniest stories to tell in class. The class will push some buttons for some people afterall, this is a religions class. Although I didn't agree with some points made in class & got me upset at times...my advice: you don't have to sacrifice what you believe...just be open-minded. Lane is a cool guy
