Extremely interesting class. Sayre knows a lot about his subject and is able to integrate comparative concepts in all the world's religions. Dream journaling and all the Jungian ideas a lot of fun.

He is a bold and intelligent man among a gaggle of timid boot lickers

He is a great guy very helpful. He makes you think. But if you cannot think, don't take his class it will show and you will get frustrated. He gives everybody a fair chance to share their views and has a lot to offer.

really easy class. all tests were take-home (even the final exam). apparently attendance is mandatory but i'm not sure he knew my name by the end of the semester. nice guy, but really boring lectures. also, don't bother buying the text book. just look up the info online

Sayre goes off on rants, and has trouble getting to the point often. First two tests were take home, and there is no homework, besides dream journals. Has field trips, and gives days off of class to make up for that.

Soooo easy, hardly ever went to class. Use common sense on test and you'll at least get a B. I got a B+ and didn't even try.

Easiest class I have ever taken. I went to the class maybe 5-6 times the entire semester. 3 were tests, 1 was the exam, and 1 was teh 1st day, the rest were random choice to show up. He's a nice guy but he goes off on random tangents and wastes time. Subject is so easy, just use common sense on the exams and you can't fail.

TAKE HIM!!! Easiest class I have ever taken and he is so hilarious. We never had homework and there are only three exams, which he gives study guides for. You could just show up the day before the exam and ace it. EXTREMELY EASY A!

Easiest professor ever. He lectures all class. Take notes, and you'll be fine. Test questions are incredibly easy. Does some semi-interesting activities such as dream journals and personality tests.

Easiest class ever. He tells stories about all his past occupations (there's a ton.) Superfriendly to cute girls. Group activities everyday but mainly just class discussion on non-related topics. Big into personality types. No work, just a few extremely easy tests. Easy A.

Gives a lot of extra points on tests as long as you have a logical explanation for it. No homework, and class wasn't bad. Makes sure you understand things before he moves on.

We don't do anything related to Critical Thinking. The first two weeks you take a personality test and talk about it. Last class we talked about ebonics. The class before that, nutrition. TAKE THIS CLASS IF YOU NEED AN A.

He's a nice guy and was really fun in our class. He does have favorites though and may not even know your name though he knows the person sitting next to you like they're your best friend. Tests are common sense and he gives you a review sheet with everything you need to know
