Professor Warren is extremely knowledgable and enthusiastic, and the course material is interesting. However, her lectures aren't very clearly organized, always run over, and deal with A LOT of information. She essentially gives you the test before hand, which makes it easier, but also makes her very nit-picky about grades. Readings aren't that necessary.

Prof. Warren's enthusiasm really takes this class to the next level.

the course was called western religious traditions, but my ta himself said it was a history class, which wasn't what i wanted. and professor warren grades really harshly. she is so nit-picky. i spent an excess of amount studying for her midterms and finals, but it didn't pay off. i think my other finals actually were affected by that. even though i felt i really knew the material i would get tons of points off for not having exactly what she wanted, which i don't feel grading should be like. she was knowledgeable and enthusiastic, but pretty hard.

This was an interesting class, through the lectures were long and your hand would cramp up. Most of the reading, while there was a lot of it, was fairly interesting. Prof. Warren really cares about how her students do and even curved our first test by 13 points b/c of how poorly most did. I'd definitely take this class if you are at all interested in comparative religion.

If you are good at history, you will do well. She talks fast so write fast or bring a laptop. Dan was an awesome TA and had the best review sessions. Memorize, memorize.

Great class. As long as you take notes in class, and g to discussion, very easy and enjoyable.

Although the lectures were really boring, Professor Warren is enthusiastic and you doe learn a lot in the class. She gives you the midterm and final before the test, but in exchange you have to do a lot of preparation for it. As long as you are willing to study a lot for the final and midterm you will be fine.

She loves her area - therefor talks alot. You will take a lot of notes. She does give you a review sheet however for the midterm and final that is basically the test. So go over that - but be careful because she looks for specific details - Really isn't terribly difficult - don't need to do ALL of reading - basically for discussions - but if you can come up with somehting to talk about otherwise you are golden.
