Comment:
Dr. Horner is the most knowledgable professor I have ever had. If you show up, participate, and do your work, you will do great in his class. He has such an amazing story and you really can learn so much from him. You can tell that he cares so much about his students and he is so passionate about teaching. I highly recommend taking his class.

Comment:
Professor Horner is extremely knowledgeable and his lectures are very interesting. I had a lot of fun with this class and personally loved singing before lecture. He is strict though, especially with informal emails or using phones during the class (but I loved that). You do need to work for your grade but it's not impossible.

David Horner has been my favorite profesor so far. His class requires a ton of reading, and lectures, but they are extremely interesting topics. His quizes are pretty hard, just for the fact you read many different chapters, and it's hard to know what exactly what his ten questions will obtain to. But overall, he's an excellent, Lots of wisdom

Comment:
I had to take his class twice. The 1st failed because I couldnt study because of my personal life and you do need to do the work for his class. The 2nd I begged him to be in his class that was already full. He was so gracious, kind, and understanding. I cried. I am an alumni and this happened in 2010. Ive never forgotten his mercy. Thank you DH

Comment:
Horner cares about his students. He is a really tough prof though. There is so much reading and a few papers. His lectures are on the reading, so they are repetitive. He takes points off your grade for not emailing him in the correct format. However, he did show grace to me as I struggled with some heavy stuff this semester. Tough, but caring.

This guy is a joke. Threatens to fail you if he sees any electronics. Be ready to stand up at least 4 different times every class to sing or read a random song or prayer. Even his syllabus quiz takes studying for and even then it could take you 8-10 times before you pass. Tends to get off track when lecturing as well. Definitely do not take.

Comment:
Just don't. He requires a very specific type of student and I have yet to meet one. He has strange mannerisms and makes you buy his book and then covers everything in it in class. His lecture and reading quizzes are horribly scheduled and insanely unnecessarily difficult. Also this class was somehow about nothing and everything at the same time.

Comment:
Horner is one of the most self-absorbed professors. He thinks our generation is absolutely uninteresting and unintelligent. He constantly makes you feel like the common sense he is teaching you is the most important thing in the world. He goes out of his way to give you trick questions on all of his assignments and you read the most boring books!

Horner is the best! I learned so much from this class and my faith was challenged. Horner is caring, funny, respected, and a real hoot. To those complaining about no electronics- suck it up! You are in class to learn, which is what Horner is evidently passionate and concerned about.

Professor Horner has changed my life. His class was absolutely incredible and I have learned so much through him. He has helped my walk with Christ, by giving me the tools to back up my faith and understand what I believe in and why. Couldn't recommend this man enough!!

Good class, wasn't too challenging and grading wasn't too harsh. You have a few papers to write and reading quizzes every week. Take notes and skim the readings. The teacher was not my favorite as he would often talk down to us and constantly bragged about attending Oxford,but you learn to ignore it and focus on the material in the lecture.

Dr. Horner is an excellent professor, he's a big goof ball. One of the things I loved about his class was that he began class with worship (sometimes) . Overall, Dr. Horner truly cares about his students' well being and makes an effort for everyone to understand the material.

The reading assignments were do-able and the best part about class. Lecture doesn't feel like college with songs on his guitar, singing, or dragging out basic points. I was never academically challenged. So easy A, but I was often offended, feeling like he was talking down to us and treating us like grade-school students. :(

I love Dr. Horner, a real Christian Intellect, and he genuinely cares for the students. He makes himself available outside of class and regular office hours in a group setting. Totally worth having, even if as a mentor only.

He's an awesome prof who genuines cares for his students and has a passion for the subject he teaches! There is a lot of reading but his quizzes are easy (open notes). If you used the note template he gives and listen in class you'all pass easily

Professor Horner is very smart and knows what he is talking about. He loves what he teaches and will answer any questions you have and is very accessible outside of class. There is a lot of reading, but if you do it all, you will be okay. A lot of work needs to be put into this class but it is so worth it! I recommend Professor Horner!

Comment:
Dr. Horner is super intimidating at first because he's so smart, but he's incredibly funny and loves the stuff he teaches. Want an easy A? Look elsewhere. But if you're willing to do the work and you're okay with being seriously challenged, take Dr. Horner's class. Make sure to attend every class, or you'll miss a lot of material.

quizzes are open notes, but he puts irrelevant questions on there that you wouldn't write down in your notes (ex: what percentage of texans don't know what country lies beneath them?")
