Comments from past students
“What a wonderful experience broadening my understanding of the world, history, and by extension myself.” -From Islamic Civ I (HST/REL 387)
“The professor was very knowledgeable and clearly explained the content during lectures. Very receptive to student questions and input.” -From Islamic Civ I (HST/REL 387)
“The open discussion style lectures were very helpful to make sure I was getting the correct knowledge from the readings. The professor even would stay after class for anyone who had questions to make sure even more thoroughly that no one would be behind if they were confused and had the initiative to pursue the course material further.” -From Quests for Meaning (World Religions: REL/PHIL 160)
“The instructor's attitude towards lecture was refreshing and engaging. They paced lecture according to everyone's mutual understanding of the concepts while still having a rough timeline that helped the course stay on track. The room felt welcoming and comfortable. I believe students were given a space to think critically and outside the box if applicable, as well as ask any question.” -From Quests for Meaning (World Religions: REL/PHIL 160)
“Very informative, and thought provoking. This class has helped me develope better critical thinking skills, and I will be applying them to other classes the best I can.” -From Islamic Civ II (HST/REL 388)
“The Islamic civilization course was a journey of discovery that enriched my understanding and appreciation of cultural narratives. It equipped me with the tools to analyze and document the class information, and it was an adventure I'll carry with me long after the course ends.” -From Islamic Civ II (HST/REL 388)
