He is a great teacher. The homework is very easy and very fufilling-I really learned a lot about the BoM from his 1000 word weekly essays. He takes attendance, but lenient if you are late or leave early. He's funny and cares about his subject. I liked him so much that I'm taking BOM 122 from him next semester and I can't wait!

This class is kind of hard, and there is a lot of reading. But honestly I didn't do any of the readings and still passed the class with a decent grade. Just make sure that you are in class and you don't have to read, as long as your pay attention. Though this class is kind of hard, the professor is a great choice!

The only class I was excited to go to during the week this last semester. It was difficult, but the teacher knew how to make it enjoyable. He was very passionate, knowledgeable, and directed about it, and that helped a lot. Very understanding of the students needs and questions as well. I wouldn't pick anyone else to teach this class.

Outstanding teacher. Some religion professors have a "holier than thou" type attitude where you leave class every day feeling terrible about your self. Brother Rowe fills his classroom with a Spirit of love and understanding where you leave class with a motivation to be a better disciple of Christ.

Rowe's great, he brings the spirit into class and applies the Book of Mormon into our daily lives. Hilarious. My 7:45am class actually was engaging because of class discussions. He is an inspiration. He does daily quizzes but they're too easy and multiple choice. Ex: "what did Enos pray for?" Would take a class from him again. Attendance mandatory.

Because the homework is light, I put in more thought and learned more willingly. Bro Rowe encourages and makes it easy to turn in homework by the end of his class. He sometimes brings historical items to class for clarity in teaching. Like a ram's horn while studying the battle of Jericho. He allows tech in class but will revoke if irresponsible.

Brother Rowe was a great REL teacher, however it became apparent to me that he cares more about teaching lessons, not students. He is quick to move on from any comments or questions to get back to the lesson every time rather than tailoring the lesson to students' real questions and concerns. He is great at giving lessons and remembering names.
