Comment:
Dr. Jones is my favorite professor. I have learned so much from him and I look forward to going to class. 2 exams and a 10 page paper. 30 min lecture, 30 min discussion every class. Tells you his opinions but does not grade against if your's are different. Funny, understanding, and expects your very best.

Very understanding if you have a work schedule that causes you to miss classes - took him for the summer and was only required to write a 15page essay on the class subject (St. Paul). He is very knowledgeable, do the readings, class is part lecture and part discussion between students.

Dr. Jones is awesome! He's so knowledgable and very helpful. Yes, he's a bit pompous, but he was on a first name basis with Martin Luther King Jr. The man knows his stuff and is beyond nice. Only 3 grades- mid-term, final, and 10 page paper. Study and you'll make an A. Take him if you want to learn!

Comment:
he will only tell you what he believes to be true and only reference you to scholars he agrees with. However, he does openly tell you that he wants you to form your own opinions and i have found that writing what i believe whether it agrees with him or not (on tests or essays) does not lower my grade. he is very confident in his facts and his educa

Comment:
I really enjoyed this class. You have to take pretty good notes, and study for the exams, but he gives you EXACTLY what will be on the test, so as long as you are willing to devote the time to study, it should be a no brainer. Also the same goes for the 10 page paper. If you just put time into it, then you will get the grade you want. All in all,

Great teacher, extensive subject. Two exams, one 10 page paper. Not an easy A, but if you read everything you will do fine. Very smart, very arrogant

Dr. Jones is an amazing teacher and really knows his stuff. He presents all of the information that will be on the test. There are two tests, a mid-term and a final plus a big paper. Stay alert in class and take semi-decent notes and you'll be fine.

Stay alert and take quality lecture notes. I never did a single night's reading and took down an A because he goes over everything that he will test on. He specifically says what is important so it's really easy. A research paper is a major part of the grade, put the time in for that and he is very fair at grading.

Comment:
He spends more time talking about how he went to Duke, and how is sons went to medical school and law school, and if you ever need a recommendation letter..go to him because he is so "great"....yeah...he's very full of himself. Other than that, he is knowledgable when he talks religion, only 2 exams and 1 paper, so if u do bad on 1, u r screwed.

Dr. Jones has some quirks but he is fairly interesting. He's usually cool about it if you have a bone to pick with something he's said, just as long as you back it up. I would take this class over again just for fun.

He's very confident in waht he has to say as true. He goes on about what school he went to & how hard it is to get into seminary school & how his boys are all in really great school etc. It's hard to figure out WHAT he wants you to know, but the review sheets his TA gives out are very helpful. For me, it's hard to stay awake in his class

Comment:
This is a great class for learning about Paul and general knowledge of his letters. It doesn't come from a conservative Christian perspective, so don't take everything he says to be absolute truth. He is very sure of himself, and wants you to know it, but he welcomes you to challenge him as long as you can support your argument. I learned a lot.

yeah the man thinks he's a this great person and only tells the class every four seconds about where he's been and how he's a doctor and that he's a biblical theologine. this class is very interesting but it won't improve your christian walk. You learn alot of the bible the only thing is, you have to pickout what's true and false. He will explain to you that most of the bible is not suppouse to be takin literally so just be prepared for some controversy. someone sould ask him what he preaches on!

Comment:
If you correct him on something, be prepared to be criticized, but do it anyway. He has obviously never read anything written by pre-Reformation Western or Eastern theologians so be prepared for theories and theologies only developed in the past century.

This class did not boost my GPA, but I learned a ton! You will have to do some work- 2 tests and a 10 page term paper. Don't look for an easy A, but it is a realy good class.

Very smart and he knows it and isn't afraid to tell you. Full of information, but can be a little redundant at times. He will challenge you if you aren't firm in what you believe. Go in with an open mind and closed fists.

avoid this man like a Biblical plague! He is arrogant and rude, no one speaks in class but him, no questions except at beginning of NEXT class, then he ends up angry and yelling at the unlucky student asking a question.
