Dr. Tabor is honestly my favorite professor. He was always super nice and graded very easily. There were assignments that I turned in that I should not have gotten full credit for that I did. The final was an essay about his class and how we apply it our lives and I wrote complete crap for it and still got an A on it.

He makes no sense at all. He changes his mind so quickly and does not even remember what he decided on. He clearly said he will not do essays as exams once the class transfers to online due to covid-19, but made us listen to 40-50 minute podcasts and watch videos (which he said he would only do 15 minute podcast maximum) and write essays on it.

Seemed to really care that you learned something rather than a grade. Lectures weren't the most interesting but not bad. Lot's of big concepts and ideas. Would definitely take this professor again.

I love Dr. Tabor. He is my favorite professor. I 100% would take his class again. Its very easy as long as you read what he tells you to. The quizzes are based on the reading but they are not hard.

Dr. Tabor is one of the best professors I've ever had, he genuinely cares about both his students and the course as a whole. He is also one of the more interesting people I've met and he makes class interesting because his enthusiasm is contagious. Quizzes almost every week, as long as you review study notes before class you'll do fine. Two Tests.

Awesome professor, very laid back. There are some pop quizzes but he goes over them during lecture. He truely cares about his students. As long as you come to class, you will pass the class. His Exams are short answers and essay based but he goes over that as well. COME TO CLASS, hes a awesome professor plus his class are very interesting.

Super nice guy who cares about his students. The class is not hard as long as you show up and put in a tiny bit of effort. Tabor likes to see students do well so his tests are not too hard as long as you pay attention.

If you skip class you won't pass. Information that is on the test is discussed in class therefore if you skip it is likely you will fail the test. Pop quiz heavy, a total of 12 pop quizzes are given but all are very easy.

He really is an amazing teacher. He has so many cool stories that go along with his lectures. He doesn't care if you miss class but I wouldn't recommend it because a lot of the material you need he gives you in class. he will give you the test questions before the exams. 10/10 professor

The best professor Ive ever had. He covers extremely interesting materials and makes you want to come to class every day. Hes also had a pretty interesting life that he will tell stories from every now and then but he doesnt brag about like other professors tend to do. My favorite moment in class was when we Skyped a famous friend of his.

Dr. Tabor is my favorite professor at uncc. He is extremely knowledgeable and engaging. The grading is based on three take-home essays and a final 12-15 page paper. I loved this class so much I am taking another class by Dr. Tabor next semester.

Dr. Tabor is so awesome, I had his Western culture class on Death and Afterlife, needed it for the GenEd lbst credit. Show up to class and listen to what he has to say and it's a guaranteed A. The topics are super interesting. He is extremely liberal and will talk about it, but if you're also liberal he is absolutely hilarious.

Tabor is a great professor who loves teaching and what he teaches. He is very respectful to his students and genuinely likes them. His death and afterlife class was boring to me but he tried to make it interesting. 3 tests that each have 3 essay questions. Also hands out lecture guides which makes studying easier.

Tabor is hands down the best professor I have had at UNCC. He is funny, engaging, kind, and highly qualified. He respects his students and treats them as equals. Attendance isn't mandatory. But his lectures are amazing, NEVER boring. In order to do well, show up, take notes, pay attention. Tests are in-class essays. He gives you study guides.

I took Dr. Tabor's Intro to Theology class at Notre Dame. He was one of the best teachers I had there. I was disappointed to find out that he did not get tenure. His expertise is in the early Christian church and, hence, apocalyptic cults. He was consulted by the FBI during the Branch Davidian/Waco incident. I'm lucky to have had him as a teacher.

He's a great professor and knows what he's talking about. Tests are easy if you prepare for them (essay format; gives questions prior to test). It does take him quite a while to grade. Topics are very interesting and he explores on different ideas. Attendence isn't taken, but I would recommend going just for the hell of it. I would take another cl
