Gaskill is awesome. He is very willing to help you understand any concept you find unclear and is hilarious! You will never be bored in his class.

Gaskill is the best teacher ever! He makes class so fun, and he's a hilarious guy! He talks very fast which makes you listen, and helps you get more of the concepts. Doesn't drag on forever and ever.

Awesome lecture, but he talks really fast so sometimes it is hard to understant his point. Very funny, very good teacher. Knows his stuff.

He is an awesome teacher who knows any question who throw at him. Very, very smart guy. Class easy except beware of the 10 page paper that is required.

Alonzo is so cool! The class is very interesting with lots of cool information and discussion. Virtually no homework or quizzes, but a HUGE paper(but you'll get a good grade on it as long as you do it)

He is such an awesome professor!He makes class fun and interesting.If you have questions he will give very good insight.There is some things you will get challenged on but it is worth it!

He was great, he was like a walking MOrmon dictionary. Great guy, good class

I love Brother Gaskill! His class was awesome, i've never learned so much in such little time - but that could be because of how fast he talks. DON'T PROCRASTINATE THE PAPER! That is stress you just don't need!

I absolutely love Bro. Gaskill! He is so funny and energetic! He also knows so much, it's amazing! Even though I had a huge paper to write, the class was pretty easy and really fun!

Alonzo is great. He is amazing at relaying information. As you've heard he talks fast but you soon get used to it. You will love his humor and wit. You will also learn many things that you've never even thought of. I give my highest recommendation. Gaskill is brilliant.

I love this guy! He taught by the spirit, has a great sense of humor, and uses it daily in his teaching. I was taking 2 religion classes from he and another teacher at the time. It seemed as if they corrilated their lectures to compliment each other. Bravo, Bravo. I'd take him again in a heartbeat!

Gaskill talks wicked fast. Don't procrastinate the paper. Overall pretty good.

He's the best religion teacher you will ever have! I'm just disappointed that he doesn't teach the second half of Book of Mormon. The paper isn't really that bad once you start it and you'll usually get an A or B. He's so funny and nice... just take the class.

He is so awesome! Class is so fun and he is absolutely hilarious. I learned a ton about the Book of Mormon.

Brother Gaskill is the most intelligent man I've ever met. He is so funny and energetic and very caring. He honestly cares about his students and how well they do. His tests aren't bad if you take good notes and study. Don't procrastinate the paper!!! Def the best prof on campus

the man.

He's great, a little too sarcastic at times, but generally hilarious. Teaches well, but talks really fast. I had to tape lectures to get it all. The paper isn't too bad, but don't procrastinate it. I waited until 2 weeks before it was done. It wasn't difficult, just tedious.

He expects a lot from his students.The paper isn't bad if you get it done early.Time is your enemy on it.His tests are killer!If you don't go to EVERY CLASS you will miss something that will show up on the test.Hes so sarcastic the Spirit is driven away.If he would be more reverent it'd be better.

Gaskill is awesome. He talks very fast, the paper is important and must not be procrastinated. Don't miss class! I turned in the paper short, and he didn't grade it so I had to turn it in late for half credit, but still got an A- in the class.

Gaskill is the best teacher out there! He talks really fast but he is interesting to listen to. His lessons are insightful and funny! I have taken 2 classes from him and loved them both. His class isn't to hard and its FAIR!

This was my favorite class ever! Gaskill expects his students to work hard (the monster paper). But it's an incredible experience because you learn so much. His tests are a walk in the park! I got a 100% on the final exam! He let's you know exactly what's on them. FUN class! I learned TONS of stuff! And Gaskill is really helpful!

Gaskill is an incredible teacher! I swear he knows everything. I learned so much and I was always excited to have discussions with him and just pick his brain. He expects you to work which is good and I would have to agree with what everyone else has said about starting the paper early. GREAT CLASS AND GREAT TEACHER!

Gaskill is the best teacher ever. He even has a fan club on facebook! The paper isn't THAT bad, just takes some time, so get it done early. He tells you exactly what will be on the tests, and helps you with everything you need to know. Is VERY understanding of every situation. BEST TEACHER IN THE WORLD!!!!

funniest religion class ever. espically when he jumps on the table and does magic tricks! it takes a while to get used to his fast talking, but such a fun class. you'll hate to miss it!!

Excellent teacher. He's really sarcastic, so if that's an issue for you don't take him. He really knows his stuff. He tests you on the lectures and if you take good notes you'll be fine. The paper was a killer but if you follow the guidelines and start ahead of time you can do it. I'd take a class from him again.

Alonzo is a really fun religion teacher. I highly recommend him. His TA, Vance, is a pain and never does anything besides grade film reports. Be sure to attend class, take notes, and keep up with the readings to do well.

Once again, Gaskill rules! His last lecture was one of the most spiritual I've ever had. He knows his stuff but isn't afraid to admit when he doesn't know something. Not an easy class, but a class you will learn in.

If only his kids were RMs..I would marry one of them. Best teacher EVER! (Who else has a facebook fan club?) DO the readings and video reports, study hard for the quizzes, do any extra credit you can. His class is incredible - I learned SO much. It definitely was spiritual at times - it is just not a typical religion class. HIGHEST RECOMMEND!

Amazing teacher! One of the best religion teachers I've ever had. He's a convert from Greek Orthodox, and he attended Notre Dame after he converted to study religion in Grad school. (has some funny stories about that!) Knows everything, hilarious, energetic, but tests are somewhat difficult, and the paper is a beast. BUT, TOTALLY WORTH IT!

Bro. Gaskill is the most entertaining and enjoyable religion prof. I have had. Yes, he's sarcastic, sometimes a bit egotistical, irreverent, but as long as you aren't easily offended or super-dogmatic you'll love the class. He really helps students think "outside the box" as far as religions are concerned. Do the reading and the work, fairly easy A

He is a really great teacher. Really interesting and fun in class. This class was really easy. Probably the best one I have taken at BYU

Bro. Gaskill is a stud. He jumps all over the place and is a little too sarcastic but if you can put up with that you'll learn a lot from him. Despite his behavior he is a really nice guy and is willing to help you and answer your questions. Just do all the work and prepare ahead of time for the 10 page paper and you'll be fine. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Wow, did I love this class! I've been recommending it to everyone, especially pre-mis, because it's an eye-opener. Bro. Gaskill is really interested in what he teaches, really knows the stuff, and has an enthusiasm it's impossible to avoid catching! I'd take another class from him in a heart-beat!

This guy is great!! Study guides make the online tests an easy A and reading is required no matter who you take religion from. The 10 page paper kind of kicks you, especially during spring/summer, but it is worth it for the A. Its better than having a bunch of little stupid assignments all semester like other teachers will give you.

Gaskill is hilarious! If you are able to fall asleep in one of his lectures, you have really accomplished something. If you are one of those easily-offended (though no one ever admits they are) people, don't take this class b/c he's very sarcastic. The only hard part of the class is the paper, but that really helps you learn a ton.

Alonzo is one rockin taco

He is insane! He's very sarcastic, hilarious, and such a fast talker. He gets really excited about what he is teaching, which makes you excited to learn. He always has stories to tell. He knows what he's talking about, for the most part. :) He's a convert to the church so he knows how to look at things from a non-lds perspective. So interesti

This class is seriously amazing. I definately reccomend it, especially if you are pre-mish. I have learned so so much. The quizes are not too bad if you do the reading. The mid-terms are pretty hard though. Study a lot for them. The best part about this class: lectures. He talks very fast! It is a three credit class, so be prepared for that.

Bro Gaskill was my absolute favorite professor this semester! He talks super fast but class was always fun! Make sure to study the reading before the quiz to do well. Also study alot for the tests. I wasn't ever prepared well enough for the quizzes, so be sure to read!! Overall, I would highly recommend this class with Gaskill to anyone!

Great Teacher just follow the guidlines for his beast paper, go to class, and attend a study group before tests. You will Get an A

Such and AMAZING teacher! He really gets you excited to learn and wants you to do well in the class. He definitely knows his information and is very excited to teach it. He does talk very fast, is quite sarcastic, and some could take him to be offensive, but he does it in good humor. If you are going to take this class take it from Bro. Gaski

Very entertaining, somewhat eccentric, teaching style. His tests do not cover the material learned very well. 3 MC tests with 25 or so questions. If you have the chance, take a class from this guy.

Bro. Gaskill is my HERO!! I have never loved a teacher more! He is so intelligent and I learned so much.Yeah, BOM has a long paper, but it was an easy grade and this is college, you have to write! World religions is awesome too! He is so energetic, so funny, and so humble!!! I love his classes and I love his work. I can't say enough about him!!!!!!

I can't even stress how much I recommend this class AND taking it from Gaskill. I learned more in this class than any other class ever and Gaskill is SOOO smart AND entertaining. I laughed so hard my stomach hurt every class but still learned a ton. Take really good notes and pay attention to any specific details in reading like numbers

He's really funny, sarcastic and keeps class interesting. Don't procrastinate the paper. Take notes in lecture and you'll do well on the exams (there are three, all on Blackboard).

Brother Gaskill was a great professor because he actually challenged us on our thinking, which I've had very few religion professors do. It's a 3 credit class and you have to earn your grade (quite a bit of reading) but I found it to be a very valuable class that I'm glad I took. Strongly recommended, but not if you're lazy.

Great teacher, make sure to not wear the 'sensitive sweater' to class because he can get rather sarcastic; very energetic, lots of fun stories, helps you think outside of the box as far as the LDS faith is concerned. Read very carefully for the quizzes (They are a BEAR!) and go to class every day

Gaskill is hilarious and entertaining, opened my eyes to other religions, he made it so interesting buthis tests are frustrating and tricky, hard to do well on, overall great class

Loved it! So interesting, really good discussion. He talks really fast, so be friends with people in the class if you miss something. Don't take this class if you're easily offended. I thought he was hilarious. But lots of people get offended by him. Don't expect excellent grade. Start early on the huge paper, otherwise, it WILL cause stress.

This is a great class. Brother Gaskill is hilarious, and also really kind when you deal with him on a personal level.

He is an amazing Teacher! Yes, the paper due at the end of the semester was difficult, but since he tells you about it on the first day of class, it's really your fault if you don't get it done. If you use the study guides for the tests and actually study, you WILL pass them. He doesn't do trick questions at all. I loved that class!

amazing class. i really enjoyed the banter, and how he challenged us to look at things in a different way. one of the most influencing teachers i have had.

Alonzo is hilarious and his grading is extremely fair. I would recommend any of his classes, especially this one.

By far the best course/best professor I have ever had. I've learned so much that I will take this course again soon. He is extremely intelligent (graduated from Notre Dame and Stanford), makes class very fun, and very enlightening. I would highly recommend this course!

He is BY FAR the GREATEST RELIGION PROFESSOR EVER!! He had the class rolling every day. He's freaking hillarious and I learned so much from his class. His quizzes are extremely difficult and impossible to pass, but the test are easy.

WOW! AWESOME! Very brilliant, but understandable. Suuuuuuuuper funny. Some of his test questions are a little ridiculous though, but he was negotiable with a low class score once, so I thought he was very understanding. Interesting person to meet.

THE BEST RELIGION PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD! Seriously, his classes really helped me understand other religions a lot and he is hilarious!

Hilarious, high-energy, rapid-fire lectures. Not for the thin-skinned; he is brazenly sarcastic. He studiously avoids the subtle "Here are all the reasons why Mormons are better than everybody else" mentality that one or two BYU professors (not to mention students) have. Tests were tricky but reasonable if you studied well.

Entertaining, not very spiritual-oriented. Very academic approach to the Doctrine. Tests are RIDICULOUSLY hard, don't take from him unless you have a 4.0 and are willing to get a lower GPA for the sake of being entertained. Basically, go for an easier class. You can't even write everything he says because he writes so fast. Fascinating topics thoug

His lectures are super interesting and he's way funny and intellent. The paper isn't too bad, you just have to follow EXACTLY what he says and you'll do fine. Tests are way hard. We were tested a lot on what we learned in class so be sure to take good notes. Attendance is mandatory, so signing up late for the class might end up hurting your grade.

Bro. Gaskill is awesome! I waited all week to come to this class and it seriously changed my perspective on the world. He is really funny and his class will push you. The quizzes and tests are difficult but its definitely worth the work. I recommend this class to everyone.

He speaks really fast! The tests are hard, but he curves things up really really generously. The paper takes a LOT of time, but isn't difficult.

A GREAT professor if you're looking to learn. Getting an A is only difficult if you're lazy or have a learning disability. I like him so much I'm reading one of the books he authored. Great guy, entertaining, and very smart.

Alonzo is very interesting and very intense. I can see how his personality would bug people if they weren't into that sort of thing, and he makes a lot of political comments, which is kind of awkward. His class was alright, I only audited it so I have no complaints. He's an entertaining teacher, if nothing else.

Gaskill is the man. Great religion prof., very intelligent, and will keep you interested and laughing. By far the best religion prof. at BYU.

He is a 'lion hearted' Professor. Plus he will teach tones of really cool stuff that no one else will!!!

Honestly, it's one of the best courses I've ever taken at BYU. The material was interesting and Prof. Gaskill was hilarious. He is sarcastic, so don't take this class if you're offended easily, but he warns you about that. I learned so much about Christian History. I'd recommend him to anyone.

Gaskill is the bomb. Not your average religion professor, not by a long shot. He's Greek Orthodox by birth. The class really encourages critical thinking about religion. He's a nice guy and terrifically humorous. You will never, ever sleep in his class. But, if that's not your thing, don't take him.

Bro. Gaskill is funny and extremely knowledgeable. Be prepared to take notes fast! His tests and grading are quite fair. The required paper is a lot of work but fulfilling.

Although he made me laugh, I think I learned more about my own beliefs and feelings than anything...and I learned a ton in this class. Should be required course. It is a 3 credit hour class,and worth everyone of them. I would so take him again

I only took this class because Alonzo had been a sub for my World Religions class (which I also recommend) and he was hilarious. I was not excited at all about the class, but he made it interesting and fun. Two tests but if you use the study guide for Gonzalez it's manageable. One paper that is very easy. Take this class!

Oh, where do we start with Alonzo? Greek Orthodox, definitely a third degree master mason, resident of Payson, passionate hater of texting and kisser of relics. Extremely entertaining, but beware of his groupies. They try to take over the class with their flowery language. They draw close to him with their lips, but their hearts are far from him.

He is absolutely hilarious and animated. He talks a mile a minute and is dripping with sarcasm; if you're sensitive, get a different teacher. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about the subject. The class is pretty easy, as long as you read and pay attention in class. Tests are good, the paper was easy. This is a great spring/summer class.

Funniest professor ever. You won't regret taking him. I only took this class because he was the professor. Totally worth it. He made boring (to me) material interesting.

Hands down the most amazing professor I have ever had. He brings un-biased and fantastically clear views to the sometimes choking atmosphere of BYU. A plus plus plus plus plus plus.

Amazing professor. He is engaging and intelligent and brings a facinating perspective to his class and his writing. One of the best.

Hilarious! And the work is more than doable.

Awesome and amusing teacher! The class is really interesting and I gained a ton of insight from his lectures.

He's very enthusiastic?he talks about as fast as the guy on a radio commercial who reads all the legal info?but he's paradoxically really easy to understand. He's very engaging and pretty hilarious (although sometimes brutally honest), and quite intelligent and knowledgeable. His tests are a bit hard, but they're curved. Prob my favorite professor.

It was a very interesting class. The reading material wasn't bad at all. And there are only 3 small papers that are fairly easy. His tests aren't terrible as long as you've done the reading. Many questions are almost word for word from the text. I would highly recommend this class to anyone.

Very interesting class. He's crazy!! But really he's way smart and down-to-earth and he knows what he's talking about. Grading is pretty easy.

Um, greatest class ever. Seriously. He is so hilarious, brilliant, and entertaining. I looked forward to his class every single day. You learn SO much in this class and it's just.. ah! Awesome. Please take it, you won't regret it! Do the readings, and as long as you follow the criteria on the paper exactly, you'll get an A. LOVED. THIS. CLASS!!!!!!

Brother Gaskill is awesome! He makes lectures so interesting with his tangents and it's hilarious to see him lecture us while standing on top of a piano. He's open for any discussion. He's fair. You have to write a 10-15 page term paper but you have 9 weeks to do it and it's not that hard. Exams are doable if you study. I highly recommend him!

Great professor -- absolutely enjoyable to listen to, eminently knowledgeable, and will really take the time to answer questions in class and out. DO NOT take his class if you're not interested in Religion and just want an easy credit. He will make you work for it.

Gaskill is my favorite teacher at BYU. AMAZING. knows so much and is SOOOOOOO FUNNY!!! I wish i could take him again. World religions is interesting, and he just is the cherry on top! Take it from him. a bit of reading and assignments, one paper, and tests. I didn't do so great, but i don't care! it was totally worth it! trust me.

Best teacher I've ever had for a Religion class. You do have to work, but all of the work helps in the understanding of other Religions. I hope to be able to take more classes from him!

Best teacher I've had in my 2 years at BYU. If you have a brain, you'll be alright in the class. Take a lot of notes. He is sometimes hard to follow, but if you pay attention for the whole time and take notes, you'll be happy when tests come around. He is a riot-soo funny. You leave that class with an extra tad of happiness in your life. Enjoy!

Loved this class. He is the most fair, helpful teachers I have ever taken. I got sick and missed one of the quizzes(very hard btw) but he let me come and take it later due to my sickness. WHO DOES THAT? Just go to class and pass the quizzes and you are set. Very interesting lectures!

I love Gaskill's humor and intellect, and always enjoyed lecture. It did seem like we spent more time on curiosities and minutiae than on doctrine; Gaskill's religion courses have a decidedly secular feel. Also, there's a 10-15 page, exhaustively-researched term paper, which seemed excessive for a 2-credit course. Great teacher, decent course.

Great prof!! I honestly enjoyed his classes and looked forward to them every time. Has a great sense of humor and makes fun of everything (and everyone) so if you get offended easily this isnt the class for you. Not too much reading, but lots of test questions come from the books. I'm taking him again ASAP

I loved this class! I learned so much about Christianity but surprisingly I also learned a lot about my own beliefs. Gaskill is full on energy and hilarious. I was never bored and loved every minute of his class. His tests aren't easy but, in my opinion, they are fair. Once I actually put forth the effort to study for his tests I did really well.

I had Bro Gaskill for World Religions and I looked forward to his lectures every time. He shared his knowledge very well and every lecture had multiple hilarious moments. He has quizzes about once a week-ish but just make sure you read carefully and you'll be fine. His midterms are almost easier than his quizzes. Also he speaks REALLY fast.

Excellent Class, Excellent Teacher! I looked forward to class everyday. Classes are exciting and interesting. This was my favorite class i've taken at BYU and would recommend it to anyone. The class isn't easy, but I am definitely not a great student and I still got an A-. If you do the work you'll be fine.

This is by far a HISTORY class, so if you don't like history don't take it. Annotate the readings, show up to class and pay attention. If like me you're easily distracted, find something to eat (like starburst). The tests aren't too hard as long as you study. The paper is strait forward as well.

Alonzo is pretty cool. Imo he could be an auctioneer. Even though he talks fast, he weighs the test, which is a big help. If it's hard to keep up with his lecture speed chewing something like starbursts or gum helps. Alonzo imo balances mercy and justice pretty fairly when it comes to test grades. Just do the readings and show up for class..

Gaskill was the funniest teacher. i really enjoyed being in his lectures. he does talk really fast, but he puts his power points online so its ok. tests are tricky but not so bad if you study hard. not an easy class but worth every minute.

great

Best Religion Teacher at BYU Period.

Brother Gaskill is awesome! He not only changed the way I looked at other religions but also the world in general. Great class!

Brother Gaskill is the best teacher at BYU. His quizzes may seem hard, but if you have done the readings before class, he will give you hints that make the answer obvious unless you didn't even look at the reading. His tests are easier than the quizzes, and he gives good study guides for it. He is an entertaining professor! Highly recommended!

One of the best teachers at BYU. Helps you to have an open mind and understand things with clarity. Very funny and straightforward and honest. His quizzes were sometimes difficult but he does give hints that are really helpful. Class is mandatory but he's very entertaining so its worth it. HIGHLY recommend him for this class.

Great professor and a really easy class. If you do the reading beforehand and highlight important parts the quizzes will be a breeze. After the first quiz it is pretty easy to guess what will be on the quizzes. That is all you use the textbook for. Tests are completely based on lectures and are extremely easy. An A in this class is easy.

I LOVED this class. I thought it was SO interesting & enlightening, and Professor Gaskill is HILARIOUS. He has a Masters in Theology from Notre Dame. He's one of those religion professors who isn't afraid of the truth, which I appreciate. I would take any class from him! 2 midterms & a final, he drops your lowest test score. 1 3-page paper.

BEST. PROFESSOR. EVER.

Bro. Gaskill is the best. He is very entertaining (uses Piano as footstool) and if you skim the reading looking at bold and interesting points, the quizes are cake. Tests are much easier and it is hard not to get an A on them. Great class!

Gaskill is AMAZING. Easily my favorite professor to date. Very animated, honest, and interesting. I learned so much from his class and it was easy to get a good grade if you do the reading for each class.

I will take any and every class he teaches. Incredibly knowledgeable. Over-the-top animated and funny with his teaching, but also incredibly intellectual. Favorite teacher I've had during my entire college experience. Obviously loves what he does. Tests are challenging but more than worth it. TAKE HIM!

Absolute best religion professor on campus. Was Greek Orthodox until his 20s, so he brings a great contrast to the normal Uber-Mormon professors. Taking his classes makes you eager to defend and learn about other denominations. Tell your zealot Mormon friends to take him and they'll be much better because of it! Also, he's HILARIOUS.

Awesome professor, enjoyable class. If you can't take the sarcasm find someone else, but everyone else is going to laugh and have a blast learning.

Tests are INCREDIBLY ambiguous. many times he says, yeah thats right, but i wanted you to put this answere.... having said that, the lectures are the greatest! theres a 30 page (15 page single spaced) page due in the middle of the semester. not sure if good lectures are worth the paper. it requires around 40 total hours from start to finish.

overall the class is rewarding and full of important info.... Great class...

He is my FAVORITE professor at BYU. He is SO smart and has written many books. As a convert, he has a really open mind toward other religions. I have taken every class I can from him and it has strengthened my testimony immensely. Also, he is HILARIOUS. I always looked forward to class. It's not hard to get an A if you show up and do the readings.

Best professor at BYU, IMO

Best Professor I have ever had! Super interesting and hilarious. He made the class fun but still educational. Super outspoken which I love.

Professor Gaskill is a great professor. I learned loads from his class and I felt that I had a much better working knowledge of significant world religions after attending the lectures and reading in the packet and manual. Some find offense in his comments but often it is because they are looking for it anyway.

I absolutely adore this man. People who are offended by him are seriously getting offended way too easily. He's just blunt and says it like it is, which, especially for this particular class, I loved. He's so interesting, clear, and absolutely hilarious. His quizzes can be a bit tough, but everything else is graded SO easily that it evens out.

His lectures are really fast-paced, making it difficult to take good notes. But his lectures are very interesting, and Gaskill is super funny. Be warned, you have a weekly quiz you have to take in the testing center based on readings. Each one took me about 15 minutes. BE SURE TO DO THE READINGS. The final was pretty tough. Great class, though.

Best religion professor that I've had! He is very blunt and you laugh a ton during his lectures! Weekly quizzes took maximum 5 mins if you did the reading. 4 vids that you need to watch and write a paper about. Choose a religious service to attend and write a 3-4 pg paper. Loved the class! Take it from Gaskill!

The lectures are super interesting and overall the class isn't too difficult. Weekly quizzes aren't hard if you do the reading. One paper that almost everyone gets 100% on. But the final can be tricky and is a large part of your grade--study with a group!

Quizzes were kind of tough, but he is my favorite Professor I've ever had. Class was super interesting and I left the class laughing every time

If you don't appreciate sarcasm, don't take this class--but if you do, go for it! I've really enjoyed Professor Gaskill's class, he has some great insights and his lectures are entertaining. Just make sure to do the reading VERY thoroughly and to show up to class, or else you'll find yourself failing.

Brother Gaskill was the professor of the last religion class I had to take while at BYU, and I have to say, I saved the BEST for the LAST! His lectures were very interesting. If I ever needed to make up work, he was VERY understanding. If you do your part, you should do just fine in his class! Thanks for all the laughter and great insights!

Professor Gaskill is a blunt, but funny. I enjoyed him as a professor and learned a lot. His tests are impossible though. Unless you memorize every detail from the textbook and class, you won't get a good grade on the test.

Great lecturer. He is hilarious and very knowledgeable. Make sure you go over the daily readings right before class. Sometimes he will spring a pop quiz in the middle of class. I just wrote a brief sentence summary of each day at the top of my notes. Worked wonders. The study guides and tests are a little rough because of their slight ambiguity.

Be prepared with your daily devotional readings because those pop quizzes are a surprise! He is hilarious and very clear and a great teacher! One of the best I've had at BYU. The tests are fair and make sure you take notes on his lectures from what he talks about and not only what is on the powerpoint. You will love this class. Study for the fina

I loved this class from Professor Gaskill. I highly recommend the class and him to everyone I know. Sure, the tests aren't easy, but you can still probably get away with less work in his religion class than you do than others and still get an A. This class changed my perspective for the better, and his lectures are anything but boring.

This was probably the best class I've ever taken. I loved World Religions and Professor Gaskill's teaching. The man is absolutely hilarious. Even with the endless humor, his lectures are still amazingly informative and teach so much about so many interesting things. I feel like a better person having taken the class. Highly recommend!!!

Alonzo is fetching awesome. His sass is something to be admired. He helps to understand and remember the material with hilarious stories. Be prepared for an abundance of sarcasm and witty banter. He requires some work but it's definitely the most rewarding religion class I've ever taken.

Professor Gaskill was a great teacher. He can move a bit quickly sometimes, so you have to pay good attention in class, but the subject is interesting enough that it isn't a problem. He also has a lot of good stories. The test is on material covered in class, so make sure to show up. If you are looking to strengthen your testimony, take this class!

I loved this class! The professor is great. He is sarcastic and energetic and knows so much! His lectures were never boring. I never wanted to miss. It requires a bit of work, but definitely doable. His tests are a little tough, you need to study. But I would for sure take his class again if I had the chance.

He was an extremely fun teacher. His class should be a required one. It was the best religious course I've taken at BYU. He opens your eyes and makes you want to be different. I celebrate Ramadan now every year! He is willing to call out anyone and embarrass them but not in a degrading way. You will get a lot more liberal view in this class.

I think professor Gaskill is one of the best professors I have had in my experience at BYU. He can easily come across as rash and coarse, but I really enjoyed how raw and uncensored his personality is. He is not afraid to speak his mind on any topic and to address things as they actually are instead of trying to shelter or shield students.

This is one of my favorite classes I have ever taken at BYU. Professor Gaskell is a great teacher. His lectures are really funny and well done. This class really opened up my mind to other religions and people. I took so much out of it! His tests are hard, but as long as you take good notes and pay attention you will do well. Loved it!

Professor Gaskill is a great teacher, who honestly loves his work and is inspiring. His class is eye-opening and made me appreciate other religions more than I would have ever known. If you want to know more about God and much more, take this class.

World Religions taught by Professor Gaskill was my favorite class so far at BYU. Professor Gaskill is engaging and funny. The class was informative and eye-opening. Take his class if at all possible! The tests can be difficult so be sure to stay on top of the content.

Amazing, inspirational teacher. I would take this class 100x more. Alonzo makes you laugh out loud and learn more than you could ever imagine--all in the same lecture!

I loved this class. Gaskill really knows what he is talking about. He cares about it and he is very clear and what you need to do to get a good grade in this class. There are pop quizzes and they're extremely easy if you just do the quick reading very day. Tests can be a little hard, but he doesn't try to trick you. Stay on top of content. Take it!

ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS. Clearest syllabus, grading criteria, and schedule of any class I've taken. The reading totally applies and the lectures build on that perfectly. Tests are somewhat hard - all from the lectures (use the class Google Doc) and memorize details, not just the basics. Almost everything we wrote off as too specific was on the test.

Freaking hilarious. Easily the most enjoyable (and sarcastic) teacher I've ever had. There's a lot of material, but if you pay attention and take good notes, you should be alright. You have to attend class since he only uses the lectures for his tests. He also speaks incredibly fast, so if you zone out a lot, it might not be the best class.

I LOVED Gaskill's world religions class. Favorite teacher and favorite class. He is hilarious and bring a perspective that is a breath of fresh air. He challenges you to open your mind and think differently than we normally have. I really think that his class should be required. It is harder but we are at college to learn not just to jump hoops.

Professor Gaskill is by far the best teacher I've ever had at BYU. Not only his he hilarious but he is so knowledgeable in World Religions that you are left wanting more after every class. He teaches in such a way that is entertaining and simple to understand. Best class I've ever had the pleasure to sit through. Read and do hmk and you'll be fine.

Brother Gaskill is an interesting teacher. He is very knowledgeable on the subject matter which is a good and a bad thing. It is his tangents that you want to pay attention to, they are golden. His perspective on life and the Gospel is exceptional; he makes you want to be a better student and person. Highly recommend his class!

Brother Gaskill is a great lecturer. Nevertheless his grading is very tough. He claims he doesn't like memorization but his tests are pure memorization and very unlike how this class is supposed to be. Went into the final with an A and came out of it with a B+. His midterm and final are just questions that are way too specific and irrelevant.

I have taken just about every religion class at BYU and this was my favorite, hands down. Brother Gaskill is so passionate about what he is teaching, and has the coolest way of presenting it. Class is NEVER boring and you leave it with a better knowledge of other religions and a stronger testimony of your own (at least I did). Take this class!

Very good teacher, able to help better understand religion through the eyes of another faith. Very intelligent and talks very fast to cover a lot of info. Test are based off of class, not book. Quizzes are book not class. Very good teacher and I thoroughly enjoyed every class and looked forward to it each time. Definitely recommend.

I would take this class again and again. I've always had an interest in world religions, but now I am eager to study them much more. The lectures were amazing. He provided a great comparison with LDS beliefs, and he has a deep belief in the light we can gain from these other faiths. I would highly recommend this class!

I really liked this class from Dr. Gaskill. He knows his stuff and will open your mind to new perspectives and views on the world. Take him!

Professor Gaskill is up there with my favorite professors at BYU. He came highly recommended by some friends and I thought World Religions sounded like a cool class anyway so I signed up. His lectures are fantastic, his enthusiasm is through the roof, and he is down right hilarious. It doesn't hurt that world religions is a great class already.

I loved this class so much! Alonzo strikes me as kind of ADHD but it just makes his lectures funnier. He has an obvious and heartfelt testimony and really strives to live and understand other religions. I learned so much and feel closer to God and enormously more prepared for my mission now!

Professor Gaskill is an amazing professor! He provides a well-rounded perspective to religion. His syllabus is clear and he makes his requirements simple. You have to attend class but his lectures are very engaging and his tests are straightforward. He will warn that he likes to poke fun, but I absolutely loved the class and woud highly recommend!

really great guy who knows his stuff. very intelligent. TONS of material covered over the 12 religions and theres not a lot of help of what specific things to know for the test. you pretty much just have to know everything going into a test.

Professor Gaskill might come off a little abrasive at first, but his heart is pure and he will inspire you if you let him. Yes, the tests are hard (particularly the final), but he gives so much extra credit and easy A assignments that you'll be fine. Believe me, I got a C- on the final and still got an A in the class.

I definitely enjoyed World Religions with Professor Gaskill. Some of his classes were a drag though because he just lectures the whole time, but he throws in stories and jokes that usually keep you into it. Textbook is required for quizzes, and additional daily reading for pop quizzes. You're grade depends on you being consistent with assignments.

I was expecting this class to be tough, but it was a super easy A. Lots of little easy A assignments to help your grade. Pop quizzes over daily readings (short paragraph each day). Tests are specific, but if you add to & study from the class google doc and go to the TA review, you can ace them. Really great professor, and super interesting class!

This has been my absolute favorite class! Professor Gaskill is such a knowledgable guy & is very open to questions. His lectures made me excited to go to class because you never know what crazy story you might hear. He is hilarious, but you will also learn so much. If you have any interest in the world/people/religions around you, TAKE THIS CLASS!

Very striking professor. He has a sublime understanding of life and of God. Not only is he enlivening but also comedic, prepare to laugh. He has some priceless life experiences and I die every time he reenacts them. Such is a hoot, love the man.

I loved this class. Professor Gaskill LOVES the material and really opens your eyes to the truth in all world religions. He talks a million miles an hour but allows for questions. The readings are mandatory but they allow the class to have a good discussion about the different religions. The tests aren't bad if you go to the reviews! Take the class

I love Dr. Gaskill! He has the most hilarious stories! Lectures are mandatory but you won't want to miss them anyway. Lots of small (easy) assignments. As long as you follow the calendar on LS for assignments it's easy to get everything done quickly. I think this is one of the best classes I've had and I think I'm a better person because of it.

He knows his stuff

If you let it, this class will change your life. I wish it could last forever.

This was the best class I have ever taken, not only did I learn a ton, but the teacher is amazing. He is a child in an old man's body, and you will never be bored in that class.

Missing 2+ class periods deducts about .8% of your final grade per absence. His lectures are really engaging, entertaining, and informative (even though he speaks fast and can be sarcastic). So, don't miss class! Go to the TA reviews! Ours had access to the test and was helpful narrowing down what to study. He is one of my all time fave professors.

By far the best religion class I have taken. Professor Gaskill knows the content he is teaching, doesn't have a biased religious view, and has a great sense of humor. It might have a bit more HW than normal religion classes, but 10/10 would take again. Just do the reading and don't skip class and you'll be fine.

This was one of my favorite classes at BYU. Alonzo is so funny and helps you understand other religions. This is also one of the easier religion classes at BYU. Make sure you are prepared for the pop quizzes though because those can really jack up your grade. Definitely take this class!

Professor Gaskill is the faster speaker I've ever had as a teacher. He's also one of the funniest. This guy's wit is impressive. Honestly, he has more energy than a 15-year-old boy with ADHD. He's such an amazing teacher! He has so much knowledge about different religions and it was amazing to take this class from him.

Professor Gaskill is about as quality as it gets. He is hilarious, and gives the best lectures! He knows more about religion than anyone I've ever met, and he has such great insights. Take this class from him, you will not regret it!

Probably one of my favorite professors and classes I've taken. He's absolutely bonkers and talks super fast, but I genuinely loved the new perspectives he brought to issues and the passion he has for the subject. Never a dull moment, all the lectures are so entertaining, you leave the class with a new respect for other religions, super spiritual

Dr. Gaskill is very straightforward and blunt with students, its just the way he is! He is one of the most personable, kind professors I have ever had. His lectures were incredibly entertaining, and his tests were hard. This subject is one that I feel every BYU student needs to learn more about- other religions. Definitely take this class!

Alonzo is a hilarious teacher that has a refreshingly realistic view on life and on all religions, he's also a convert. He works to make his classes fun yet informative. He does tease and poke fun, so if you can't take a joke then this class may not be for you. One of my absolute favorite professors.

He makes you do more work than in your typical religion class, but it's all super interesting content. He's a good teacher and super inspiring in his view of other religions, and I would definitely take a class from him again.

This class and proffesor has been the best class I have ever taken at BYU. I learend so much and have changed drastically becsue of what I learned. Proffesor Gaskill is so funny and so inspiring at the same time. The tests and quizzes are not hard at all if you study and read even a little bit. The content is enjoyable if you open your heart.

TAKE WORLD RELIGIONS FROM GASKILL. He is hilarious and his lectures are super engaging. He helps you have a passion for learning about other religions too. He talks incredibly fast, but provides a ton of insight on the material. There's only one big paper due, and it's not too bad.

I loved Brother Gaskill and this class! He is an incredibly engaging lecturer, and he really helps you gain an appreciation for world religions. I had high expectations for this class, and it definitely exceeded my hopes! You get to attend another denomination for a project, which is really cool. Tests and papers are not too hard, just take notes.

Dr. Gaskill is THE BEST professor. He is my favorite professor at BYU hands down! His lectures are so interesting and entertaining. I actually enjoyed going to his class. There is one big term paper, but it wasn't difficult. There are daily readings, but they are really short. Overall a great experience. Take this class from him!!

If you're going to take world religions you HAVE to take it from him. Hands down best professor and class I've had at BYU. It's so much more than just learning facts about other religions and it should be required for everyone. Alonzo is hilarious and really helps you to find a love for other religions.

He's amazing. Take his class. That's all.

TAKE THIS CLASS. This is the best class I have ever taken. I learned so much and it changed the way I view other religions. Professor Gaskill is hilarious and lectures are extremely interesting.

Prof Gaskill is amazing. He's hilarious, teaches great content, and makes the tests and assignments not too difficult. The only thing is that the lectures are not very engaging, but they're interesting. He requires a few small papers, and two tests, so not bad. He is one of the best teachers that I've taken.

WOW. Mind exploding. Heart expanding. Spiritual but liberal. Wonderful. He will push your conservative limits if you are conservative. I'm not. So I couldn't wait to go to class and feel uplifted by his enthusiasm about Jesus, Allah, Buddha, and good ole' Zarathustra. Also he was at Stanford and is a Stake Pres. No biggie.

He's hilarious and knows so much about the subject. Take this class.

Brother Gaskill will make you laugh so hard you'll pass out in your chair! Probably THE most entertaining lecturer I have ever experienced. The man's resting voice is like 1000 words/min, he is lightening fast and extremely knowledgeable. I loved learning about other religions and it made we want to know way more than we got to in the class.

I could have gotten an A but, I forgot to do two big assignments. Professor Gaskill is funny and he gives a different perspective on religion and cultures in general.

Professor Gaskill is a great teacher. He is clearly very passionate about religion and knows his stuff. I definitely recommend world religions if you are interested in learning more about different beliefs. I was a little disappointed that there weren't more guest speakers, but his lectures are great nonetheless. The homework and tests are easy :)

As a senior, this was my favorite religion class at BYU. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND taking it from him. We learned about world religions throughout the world, and how they relate to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Really cool professor, has a genuine love for the material and for the students. Very knowledgeable. Does speak really fast in class and a lot of what he says is on the test, I'd recommend recording lectures on your phone and listening to them again afterwards. Test felt really tough in the moment but afterwards I didn't do too bad.

Dr Gaskill is such a funny guy. Youll learn a lot in his class and will be laughing the whole time. When I first saw him I was a little freaked out by his loudness and boisterous mannerisms, but I adjusted quickly. Heavy workload for a religion class: You have pop quizzes, papers, online assessments, tests, and film reports.

I highly recommend this class! Best course I've taken at BYU so far.

Alonzo is incredible and this was one of the best classes I've ever taken, but the tests are ridiculous. I'm usually a pretty good test taker but I've gotten my lowest test scores ever in this class. It's still worth taking the class but be sure you study every single little detail he mentions in lecture (which is a lot haha)!!

The course content was enlightening and intellectually stimulating. Somewhat work heavy for a 2-credit class. Homework reading, assignments, pop quizzes, and short film reports. None of the aforementioned was very difficult. Tests however were fairly difficult and based on minute details from his comments during the lectures. W/o good notes tough.

LOVED the content of this class, LOVED prof gaskill's perspective, but be prepared bc the tests are based on the tiniest passing comments he makes in class. nice guy, he just talks SO fast and his tests are on the tiniest details so it's hard to remember. DO NOT take hand written notes, you won't be able to keep up. fascinating discussions though.

This prof has a VERY good heart. Definitely do the reading and watch out for tricky questions, but he's kind and humble. Grading isn't too hard as long as you're paying attention.

Professor Gaskill's world religions class was one of the most inspirational and eye-opening classes I have ever taken. It's an easy A, but it's pretty easy as long as you read the textbook and stay on top of things. Either way, I think it's worth it to learn from him. He's passionate about the subject and it shows.

Prof Gaskill's class was my favorite religion class so far! If you do the readingsand ask questions in class, you will take away so much. Gaskill is culturally sensitive and his class really opens you up to a world of new traditions and faiths. I absolutely recommend this professor and think everyone should at least take world religions.

Dr. Gaskill is literally hilarious! He talks incredibly fast though and it can be hard to take notes. I usually ended up just copying the slides. His TA's don't hold reviews, but when I took the class, we convinced one of the TA's to come to our student review session and were able to get great tips from him. This was my last religion class!

He's an amazing professor, but I'd recommend waiting to take it in person. Coursework was heavy--lots of reading, he had us BOTH listen to online prerecorded lectures AND join a zoom class. Tests were very detailed/difficult--I'm PDBIO major and I was most stressed about THIS test. 100% recommend taking it from him, but wait until it's in-person!

Professor Gaskill helps give much needed perspective. He breaks through Utah cultural bias to provide a more complete picture of this world and life. I recommend taking World Religions from him.

PLEASE take this class from prof Gaskill. This class really opened my eyes and Gaskill has such a unique perspective on life and religion. You will have to study for tests but overall it was a really good experience. Life changing class.

Very interesting class with an open-minded professor.

Hilarious and dynamic teacher. There will never be a boring lecture. Exams are difficult (he really cares about whether you know what the terms mean) but manageable, all multiple choice, but not purposefully tricky. 5-7 page paper due at the end of the semester, read a book or attend another faith's worship

I recommend this class to everyone. Not to be dramatic, but this class totally changed my life; it made me a better, more culturally-aware person. Professor Gaskill's test are pretty challenging, but if you take good notes (tricky to do because of how fast he goes) and know all of the vocabulary, you'll do just fine. Seriously, TAKE THIS CLASS.

This was one of the best classes I've taken in my four years at BYU. It made me so much more aware of the rest of the world. As far as grades and work goes it is a very easy class. The tests take 20-30 minutes and if you did half the readings then you'll get an A. Attendance is mandatory, you will lose a lot of points for skipping!

Love Dr. Gaskill with my whole heart. Best energy, most exciting teacher I've ever taken from. Class physically cannot be boring, always a delight to be in that class. Easy grader, difficult tests though, as he expects you to remember very specific details and vocabulary terms of each religion.

Easily the best religion professor and REL class I've had at BYU. Plenty of reading, but that's normal for an REL course. If you just do the daily devotional readings and take really close notes, this class is a breeze. His tests are pretty tough, but even I got a B on the midterm and C on the final and still ended up with an A.

I am a senior at BYU. Professor Gaskill is the best professor I have ever had and this class was the most useful class I have ever taken. It is so valuable to learn about cultures and religions of the world and Gaskill is the man to teach it. He has so much valuable experience with these religions and assigns you to learn about them very hands-on.

Alonzo is a legend. Massive ADHD energy, but it made the lectures really engaging and fun to listen to! He does talk very fast in lectures, but I was able to keep up. He knows a lot; I learned so much from him and loved his hilarious stories. The tests are a bit hard, a lot of knowing terms in other languages. But completely doable.

This was, by far, the best and hardest religion class I have taken at BYU. I am so glad I took it though. The class is engaging, informative, and I have never met a better religion professor. The tests are pretty hard though. If you want an easy A stay away, but if you want the best religion class on campus I would absolutely take it.

Professor Gaskill is hands down the best professor at BYU. He makes every single class period so engaging and deeply cares about the course material and his students. He is the funniest guy and as long as you put effort in and show up to class it is pretty easy to get a good grade. Everyone should take this class!!

Lectures are amazing, never a dull moment. He knows his stuff and you will learn so much. Tests are hard, and I had to do a lot of studying for them, but if you do well on the study guides, film reports, and the term paper (which really weren't hard), it should be fine. He gives you the slides from class, so just focus on what he talks about.

Gaskil has got to be the most goofy professor I have had and that is why I loved him. He is politically incorrect but he has a deep appreciation for diversity of thought. He has deep love for what he teaches. The last lecture of the semester was powerful and left me with a desire to be better and holier. Tests harder than other religion classes.

Alonzo is the man!! I learned more in this class than any other religion class at BYU. He is such an energetic, passionate, and intelligent teacher. I very much looked forward to each lecture, and his last lecture was especially powerful. Tests are very difficult for a religion class, but if you do all of the extra credit you can still get an A.

Best professor I've had at BYU. Lectures are good and engaging, he keeps energy high in the classroom. Clearly passionate about his subject and teaches well. Work load was a good amount for the class. 10/10 recommend taking this class.

Professor Gaskill was one of my absolute FAVORITE teachers this semester. Really makes students think from a different perspective about other religions and how influential they are to our society. Sharing hilarious stories, he truly loves his students and goes into vivid detail to explain religious concepts. Final exam was tricky, so prepare well!

Honestly the best religion class I've taken in all 4 years at BYU. Yes, the class is quite difficult, especially the tests, but education is much more than just grades. I feel edified and connected to God in ways that no other religion class or teacher has been able to do. 10/10 recommend, just make sure you memorize everything from his lectures.

Excellent teacher and class. Super interesting material and he was really knowledgeable. He does post slides but take really good notes. One paper, either attend another religious service or read a book. Does give pop quizzes.

He tests on very minute details and talks really fast, so don't be distracted in class and put a study group together! I didn't do super well on the exams, but I wouldn't trade the intellectually and spiritually enlarging experience this class was. I'd define him as chaotic good (i.e. his personality isn't for everyone), but I enjoyed his class!

Alonzo is hilarious!!! I looked forward to his lectures every day! He respects others and their beliefs in a way that I want to duplicate. Make sure you do all the readings and you'll do fine on the pop quizzes. Definitely beware of the midterm and final. They are super challenging. The lowest test score I've gotten in my life was on that midterm.

He's amazing but His exams are hard, you probably already knew that, so here's how to succeed in his class: - do daily readings, pop quizzes matter - He tests on EVERYTHING in class, including first day material, quotes etc - He talks fast, use the slides he posts on canvas so you don't waste time writing down slide info TAKE THIS CLASS

10/10 lectures, he's so funny and explains things in a way that makes sense. His exams are super difficult, after the midterm I had a bit of panic wondering if I should drop the class because I thought I was going to fail. But even with lower scores on the midterm and final, I still passed. This class grew my testimony immensely, take it.

Dr. Gaskill is very funny and passionate about what he teaches. Great professor. Just be sure to write down every single little thing he says in class (even if it seems unimportant, like the year Shinto became the state religion of Japan) because the tests are very specific.

I wish that Alonzo taught more classes than he does now. While it may seem overwhelming at first, you soon will see it isn't as bad as it may seem from the get-go. He has the most incredible personality and is one of the smartest professors I have come across. I've recommended him to every student I know, and I wish I could take this class again!

This guy will either offend you or change your life. You choose. He is very blunt but so hilarious and super knowledgeable about religions from his own experience! He talks incredibly fast so be prepared. Weekly-ish study guides are totally doable, just don't forget to read devotional book for pop quizzes cuz those can hurt your grade.

so sO SO good. I wish he taught more classes. Professor Gaskill is passionate about what he does and so good at answering questions. Greatest religion class I have ever (prolly will ever) take. Light homework, but pretty detailed tests. 100/10 recommend

By far one of my favorite professors! He's very passionate about the topics and can tell really cares about all people. He is absolutely hilarious! I loved this class!

He says what comes to mind which some people might take offense by, talks very loudly and super fast. If you don't like this, don't take it from him. However, I thought he was amazing. Highly recommend. There are pop quizzes on the daily devotional reading. Some of the weekly quizzes are worded weird or a little obscure. Learned lots from class.

The best! I highly recommend taking his class! You get to go to another religion's worship service (or read a 300+ page book) and then write a paper about it. The paper has all the questions/prompts you need to make the paper full-length. The lectures were energetic and insightful. He's respectful of thoughts and perspectives. Take this class!!

Professor Gaskill is very energetic & hilarious! He was fun to listen to but he talks very fast & it's hard to keep up sometimes. The class itself isn't very hard, but the exams are some of the hardest I've ever taken. They are very lecture specific. I paid attention in every class and studied and still got a C on the exam. Do all the extra credit.

Loved the professor but the class was quite difficult. Readings were simple but assignments were time-consuming, pop-quizzes were annoying, and the exams were impossible. I did every reading and attended every class but got Cs or Ds on the exams. Unless you are a pro at memorization, exams are difficult. But Gaskill is a very engaging lecturer.

By far my favorite religion professor at BYU! I usually don't like religion classes but Alonzo is inspiring in every way and I always left his class with the desire to become a better person.

Almost no homework, and only one paper. The midterm and final is really easy if you follow his detailed note taking guide. Beware, he talks SUPER FAST, but everything he says is so worth listening to. I talk about this class all the time, and I've recommended it to all of my friends.

This is exactly what you want in a world religions class at BYU. Very inspiring lectures, straightforward, intellectually enlarging.

I genuinely have never had a better professor. I kind of accidentally ended up in this class but it was the best thing that ever happened to my schedule. There is no one I'd rather take world religions from. He knows his stuff and isn't pretentious about it. Lectures are very fast and a tad overwhelming, but he gives all the exam questions/answers.

Professor Gaskill is the most talented lecturer I've ever met. Though his class is on comparative religion I felt the spirit more often than in many other religion classes. Cannot recommend him enough.

World Religions; Everything on the Final is in class, not the textbook. Provided a note-taking guide with all possible Final questions. Talks fast, likes tangents. Lots of xtra credit available. Pop quizzes are scary. Loves his stuff, made me love it too. Spiritually strengthening fs, love ecumenism.

On the surface level, there are pop quizzes so come prepared and the midterm/final require a good amount preparation. On a deeper level, this was the BEST class I've taken at BYU. Gaskill is hilarious, intelligent, and open-minded. His testimony seriously impacted my life. 100% recommend, it's life changing if you allow it to be.

Prof gaskill is such a good professor but the tests were ridiculously hard. I prepared for HOURS and made tons of flashcards and did everything I could but I still did horrible on his tests. He tests on the tiniest little details that he barely touches on in class so PAY ATTENTION. Hes a super nice guy though and made class very interesting!

I really enjoyed this class, and Professor Gaskill is great. But if you are looking for an easy religion credit, maybe choose a different class. But if you are seriously interested in other religions and cultures, absolutely take this class!

Professor Gaskill's World Religions class is a rollercoaster ride - his lectures are fast-paced and full of tangents, but his passion is infectious. Using unstuckstudy ai alongside the textbook helped me ace the exams. Overall, a spiritually rewarding experience.

he is AMAZING.he is so smart& hilarious& says the craziest things.he talks SO fast so it is hard to write down everything he is saying but you can get the notes from other students or just go ask him the questions you.the mid term& final are not that hard BUT you do have to study everything. like i made 400 flash cards just for the midterm :)

Dr. Gaskill's class may be overwhelming at first but I think it's fun, enlightening, and so impactful. Dr. Gaskill is respectful, humble man, and educated expansively. His sense of humor never disrespects students and their questions, concerns, or the religions he covers. If you are willing to work hard to grow, you'll get that opportunity.

Dr. Gaskill is incredible! He's passionate about the subject matter and always engaging. Be careful of the pop quizzes though! All things considered, I didn't want this class to end. I learned so much about how to love and respect people who are different than me through this class. 10/10, would take again!!

I actually really liked him as a person and was interested in the subject matter (hence why I took the class). However, the tests were so difficult that I was just frustrated the entire time. I studied for 2 weeks straight for the final and failed it. The pop quizzes killed my grade. I got 0s on all of them after doing the readings. Buckle up.

This class was super fun and engaging, and I learned a lot about other religions. Participation matters and there's pop quizzes, so make sure to attend class each week. The professor gives you a study guide for the exams, but he speaks super quickly and it was hard to keep up. Exams were difficult and there was a lot to memorize.

World Religions with Professor Gaskill is by far the best religion class I've taken, and maybe my favorite class at BYU. His lectures are AMAZING and I came out of the class with a genuine appreciation and understanding of religions and cultures all over the world. The tests definitely require preparation but with good notes you can do well.

Alonzo Gaskill is a GREAT professor, but if you want to know it's like, here it is: He speaks FAST & he will sometimes get off topic with related stories, but brings it back. He will give you study guides to fill out as he goes, encourages questions, and his tests have Multiple Choice, T or F, and All that Apply. Multiple quizzes so do the reading!

Great guy! Super funny and interesting lectures. The note-taking guide is ridiculously long, which is what makes the course difficult. All of the test questions are taken from the note-taking guide.

Best professor of world religions. My favorite class I have taken at BYU. So inspiring. I would take this class from Professor Gaskill just for fun. May Guru Gobind Singh bless you.

Great professor! Amazing lectures that strengthened my testimony and opened my eyes to different and deeper views on religion!

Gaskill is genuinely hosting some of the most interesting religious discourses going on at BYU! This class broadened how I looked at world religions and conversed about theology. This was such a great course to get an introduction to the topic and get comfortable with interfaith conversations. Gaskill has a great deal of respect.

Hilarious professor!

Love this man. If he doesnt go to the celestial kingdom then I dont know who will

THIS WAS THE BEST CLASS I HAVE EVER TAKEN!! Dr. Gaskill's lectures and testimony are so inspiring! I genuinely learned so much this semester. Exams are based off notes from lectures but he provides a study guide, and there are pop quizzes. But a VERY doable class and I enjoyed doing the homework. You will not regret taking this class!!!

You will probably learn more in this religion class than any other at BYU, but this is also almost certainly the hardest religion class at BYU. That said, I seriously may take it again sometime just because Professor Gaskill is incredible and you truly learn so much.

Professor Gaskill is awesome and a little wild, but a really accessible guy if you reach out. Class is very lecture-heavy and you have to be really on top of the notes to keep up. He talks really fast and goes through like 5 different topics in a minute. The tests are kind of hard so be sure to study your notes.
