Comment:
I took a couple of her classes a few years ago. One of the best professors I had, but unhelpful and unprofessional as a human being. Her classes are great, and I learned a lot about religion. Take her classes, but keep your distance from her, keep your opinions to yourself, and don't expect any patience.

Comment:
She is very helpful and always willing to look at a draft of a paper. It is necessary to send drafts early because she is a very intellectual and experienced writer and will always find flaws in your writing. She will always correct every error and then give you a good grade when you fix the errors. Every essay is rewritable as well.

Comment:
One of the worst classes I've ever taken. She lectures once a week in an incoherent format and doesn't connect things week to week, or even to your reading. Discussions were excruciating. Felt as though she was constantly trying to prove a point about Christianity. Had no office hours, didn't reply to emails, and paper topics made no sense.

Let me save you all now..... Do not take this class.... she adjusted the grades to make my grade worse... when I asked her for help she was condescending, rude, and said "I can't think of any ways to help you." I don't feel I need to go any further because you get the picture this is the worst class ever

Comment:
Her lectures are really hard to take notes for because all she does is talk, and her thoughts are all over the place. She skips back and forth between different topics and time periods so it can be hard to follow along. The quizzes are easy, but the papers are so harshly graded that it's not even worth putting the effort into.

Comment:
Professor Fredriksen is certainly eloquent and intelligent, she's willing to meet with students outside of class to discuss questions and concerns. However she can be somewhat harsh and biased during lecture. You either agree with her perspective or you're wrong. Overall though she was one of the best professors I had at BU.

Comment:
She is so knowledgeable and passionate, but a bit hard to understand in lecture because she just talks. It wasn't easy to take notes. Quizzes are pretty straight forward but the critical response papers were almost impossible. Don't take this class if you dont have an interest in religion. But if you do, it will be the best class ever.

She'sincredible - funny, intelligent & clear. I suppose she can be a little hard on the slackers, but with someone like her, I'd be pretty upset if she wasn't.

Incredibly smart & thorough. She is demanding but not in any way that's unreasonable or obtuse. I thought she was great.
