Professor Boni brought the reality of human existance and out for religious understanding to my heart. I spent time learning with Professor Boni in and oit of the classroom. I do not believe thst every student understood how much she cared.

Pat Boni is the best professor I've had at SDSU. I took her World Religions class in 2002 and it was the most engaging course. She is passionate about every lecture and teaches each religion as if it were her faith. I learned a great deal about perspective and life from Pat Boni. You should absolutely take her class if you get the chance.

Dr. Boni is hilarious. She tells it hows she sees it and doesn't dish out "angel ****" as she calls it e.g. getting world peace or ending world hunger. Lectures are kinda pointles, interesting at times. No homework EVER except extra credit and reading the textbook. Never went to office hours, read the textbook but not the other books and got a B.

She is the most unhelpful teacher I have ever had. I went into her office hours and she actually told me to google my question! Lecture is pointless to go to but you have to. All she is does is babble on about herself and her stories and how she did this and that. DON"T TAKE THIS CLAASS!

She is a very nice lady, and going to her class really opened my mind. She has very good advice that you you will get from her lectures. .This is a very intersting class that you will love as long as you get involved as speak your opinions.Take her and their is a great get together party she has after the semester is done, you should go.

Shes a nice lady but not a good teacher. I felt time was wasted going to class because the chance of learning something that I can apply towards the exams were 50%. If you do the study guide early and study, the exams are easy. I never did one hw assignment and did poor on tests and got a C. If I actually tried, getting an A would have been easy.

Professor Boni is an amazing teacher. I have never had any individual(teacher or otherwise) provoke so much interest in a topic as she did. She challenges your mind, and doesn't rely on basic memorized knowledge for tests. She encourages students to think outside the box in a very existential way. Best teacher I have ever had, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HE

Comment:
Professor Boni does exactly what every college professor should do, she challenges you to think critically about the world around you. I always walked away from her discussions in deep thought, and I loved it!! Showing up to class is absolutely necessary if you want to pass, her tests can be a bit tricky if you do not pay close attention.

Dr Boni's class is mostly discussion, there are some essays during the semester but that is the only homework we have.. Very interesting class and she has a good sense of humor... Make sure you go to class!

Interesting class, but would not recommend it to people who already have a religion for she is disrespectful at times. Tests are more on what she says in class than anything else so you kina have to show up. showing up to her office hours really gives you "brownie pints"

Comment:
Participation based on agreements had the tendency to pile up ambiguity and false enlightenment. Being in this class is a perfect example of the open-minded quote from Slingblade. If you like Eastern Religions, you'll like her. My disappointment stemmed from her material/lectures having virtually nothing to do with Psychology.

interesting class. opens mind to new perspectives. She has a funny personality but you got to go in w/ an open mind. Defnitely questionable beliefs but interesting if you don't take them all as truth. Test for each chapter, so no final. Tests only 25 questions and very easy. I got a B+ not doing the tons of extra credit given.

Prof boni has a wry teaching style but it suits her. Not everybody will like it but if you're gonna take the class, be prepared to actually have some interest or just don't show up and fail. your choice.

Very easy class. If you come with an open mind you will love the class. She is wise and has many useful stories and tips. However, if you are biased toward any particular religion you will hate rels353. One of my favorite professors at sdsu

Save yourself the miserable semester and C on your transcipt and take a different course. NOT AN EASY A. Tests have tons of biased/trick questions. Not based on memorization or clear facts from text.

Her tests are all based on opinion, I memorized everything with none of it on the tests. Listen to her opinion thats all she cares about. Her lectures consist of random tangents. She has something against Christianity. If you are genuinely searching do not take it, if you need an easy A do not take it, if you can take anything else do not take it.

I loved this class, Boni is a great teacher. I don't know what other students are talking about, I found her to be very unbiased; she doesn't bash anyone's religion. She made the class very interesting; if you read the book, it's a very easy class.

She has a tendency to reiterate the same concepts, which can be good, minus the fact that theyre rarely on tests...no final, lots of extra credit. half the class was never there except for the tests..shes rather boring, but helps you if you miss a test or have questions

This teacher was not good at all. I don't recommend her! I have never put so much effort studying into a class and done so poorly. She uses too much opinion, and not enough fact. The book she uses is very difficult to understand. Her lectures always have useless tangents in them. Garbage. Thats the best description i can give you.
