Comment:
He's great and cares about his students; he strays off topic to tell personal stories but he's so funny and interesting to listen to. I quit going to class for a while because he doesn't take attendance and the info. needed is in the textbook (you need to read it to pass & don't need the lectures). Didn't affect my faith/ cool to learn diff. views.

His lectures can be pretty dense and confusing, so I spaced off a lot. He is super funny, and he is always available if you need help. Each exam has 2 essay question, and he wants you to be super specific in writing them. He only does three exams and attendance. There are no other grades up in.

Blackwell is one of my favorite professors! He's hilarious and helps you with any questions you may have. His classes are super easy. He gives you the essay questions that might be on the tests and goes over all of them. His lectures can get boring sometimes, but you'll always be able to enjoy it if you participate in the discussions.

His class really causes you to become a critical thinker. I am a conservative Christian and he does not approach the class from a religious standpoint but rather an intellectual view. He isn't the least bit disrespectful to anyone no mater their religious views or lack thereof. He is brilliant and hilarious and really makes the class so much fun

The man loves to talk about his experiences and football. He WILL spend at least half of class talking about wheres he has been and seen. When he does lecture its usually really though provoking. He gives out a study guide. Do a practice essay and your golden.

Blackwell is incredible. He's funny and totally brilliant, and he's always there to help. I learned more than I ever thought I would, and I declared my minor to religion so I could take more of his classes.

Blackwell is a great teacher, definitely the best I've taken at FMU. You will come away from his class with the ability to think critically about a lot of things. Definitely should take him.

I absolutely loved this man's class. It was always interesting. He does have a tendancy to go on random story parallels, but they all are interesting. The test are str8 4ward. Answer the questions on the study guide in the essays, and get an A SIMPLE

Mr. BLackwell was one of the most interesting and fun teachers I have ever had at this school. He is brilliant and super intelligent. He knows what he is talking about. He requires critical thought in the class, but he wont fail you. Very challenging, but exciting. Would take his class ever semester if I could.

Dr. Blackwell was probably the coolest, most interesting, and overall best prof. I've had at FMU so far. He knows a ton about the subject of religion, and he doesn't try to swing your personal opinion any certain way, just encourages you to think about stuff. Tests are pretty easy if you read the book,not too strict about attendance.Take his class!

Dr. Blackwell is an interesting and funny professor. He doesn't ask too much of his students, just that they question the bases upon which their thoughts have formed. His classes are cool. I recommend him highly.

The man is awesome! He knows his stuff and the class is definately worth taking for a learning experience and a chance for seeing things in a different light. Tests are in essay form, but so long as you read and pay attention then you should have no problem.

Comment:
Dr. Blackwell's NT class is indeed the easiest A I got this last semester, BUT as a Christian, I must give you this advice: Dr. Blackwell himself seems to sit on the fence about matters of Biblical teaching. But the material he uses consists of liberal studies that are designed to bring traditional vinews about Jesus and the Bible into serious ques

He is a super guy!! A very friendly prof. Acts like students at times. Make sure that you partcipate a lot in class. His test are easy. You will not understand much about the course, but he gives the question before the exam. An easy "A". He hates students who cheats. So be careful!!

Mark is a great professor. I've had him for 2 semesters and I really enjoyed the experience. All you have to do is read the lessons and listen to the lectures. If you discuss the lessons, you'll get a better understanding and an overall good grade. He's not hard at all.
