I love learning about world religions. I learned some in this class but Dr. Howard pretty much sucked. He picked favorites and was pretty strict. He could be laid back sometimes and even fun but he totally turned me off of this class. I came in excited and am leaving disappointed.
I think this is a pretty easy class as long as you listen. He always reviews the material that will be on the test.
The class is fairly easy. You MUST read!!! He will provide worksheets that go along with his power point presentation. This is a mini study guide. The class involvement is great, he never picks on anyone but gives them the opportunity to learn. in all I really enjoy this class.
I highly recommend this class to anyone who want to take RELG..Dr.Howard is the best teacher i've ever had.You will have 3 major tests, 1 researched paper (5 pages-low level of difficulty) , and 1 presentation. Take him and enjoy his lecture, He will tell what you expect on the test. Sacrifice a little your leisure time,and u will have easy A.
He likes to make everyone uncomfortable, he is not a good teacher, he thinks he is being a military man by acting all careless. or a very disappointing teacher "if you will" take Rupert she is much much better, and if u must take him..dont buy the book cause u really dont need it and he acts in class like you do
disappointing...very, i have to agree with the very first post here
LOL @ 4 Noble Truths. Dr. Howard is a principal and he does think he's superior and commands respect sometimes comes off as a mean guy but he's cool in his lectures. You only have three tests so if you screw up on 1 of them you probably won't end up with an A. Don't need book but you'll fail w/o notes. Would recommend taking another better teacher
Mr. Howard's okay, but I don't really recommend him. He makes his students look stupid sometimes, laughing at them. The tests were moderately difficult, the presentation is really easy if you do EVERYTHING on the list. Make sure you take a speech class before this class! Be prepared to hear anything and everything. Don't need the book; don't buy!
Fantastic professor! Totally easy and VERY FUNNY!! Take this class and you will enjoy it. All the notes are pre-made and you just fill in the blanks, it's already formatted for the test! Incredibly easy and funny, take him!!
Dr. Howard is a pretty good teacher for the most part. His lectures, personality, and the homework is the highlight. I learn very much listening to him, he breaks everything down nicely and shows no favoritism to one religion out of the many. I will say his fairness is just plain bad. He numbers each person into a group. My group was first to prese
Suffering Exists, There is a reason for Suffering, There is a way to end Suffering, and, the way to end suffering is by not taking Dr Howards Religulous class!!! SOOO TRUE!!!!!
He is a very easy professor..juss read the handouts that he gives and pass the exams...only 1 presentation n paper in the wholw sem...
Don't buy the book; you will not need it. Study from the fill-in-the-blank notes and you will be fine. He is clearly passionate about teaching and made things interesting, I feel like I learned a lot. One paper/presentation, wasn't bad. I made an A easily.
good man right here! very entertaining. very strict on grades but all worth it. learned a lot from mr howard "pushpa!"
He makes his class very fun, he is never boring. Makes you laugh and encourages discussing the material. With that said he is not very knowledgeable in other religions other than Christianity, which is sad since he is a Dr. is religion. But fun class just strict grading.
Dr. Howard's class was interesting and easy. All his tests are over his fill in the blank notes and the key terms in the book. In total, 3 tests and 1 research paper along with powerpoint presentation. He grades very sternly on attendance, and will drop your grade after 2 absences. All in all he's definitely a great professor.
TAKE THIS GUY!
Dr. Howard is an excellent professor. The material he covers and how he presents it amazing. Religion can be a boring subject to study, but the way he organizes his classes, makes it interesting and fun. 3 Exams and 1 research paper/Power point presentation is all you are graded, with some EASY extra credit lecture to attend.
The class is interesting and I enjoy learning about the different religions, I also enjoyed that he took a week to teach about the Dalai Lama. One thing I did not like was his obvious bias towards Christianity, but other than that a fun teacher. DO THE RESEARCH PAPER.Do not miss class because attendence is worth the same as tests. Do not need book.
im taking dr howards class right now & damn! first off he makes it VERY EZ to pass his class but you will have to do A LOT of work! the 2nd day he issues a project! as long as YOU dont pick #1 like i did class will be easy & fun. He gives you lecture notes(use as test guide)you dont need book. just go to stdnt resource cnter for book&vocab words.
TAKE THIS CLASS IF YOU NEED A PHILOSOPHY CREDIT OR INTERESTED IN RELIGION!Dr.Howard makes it easy for you to make an A in the class.I ended up having to get the book, he references to it during class.Tests are STRAIGHT from the notes and maps/vocab words from the book.He makes it fun and interesting!I am really enjoying his class this semester.
I took him back in 2008, he is a wonderful professor with all the guts to deal with students from different religious backgrounds. attendance, fill-in-blanks notes, presentation and one research paper. Class is interesting
I took this course online. There are several quizzes and three tests. Most of the quizzes have about ten questions and all can be taken twice. The first two tests have 20-25 questions, while the final has 50. You must write either a 6 pg research paper or a 3 pg. ref. paper. Be sure to check the discussion board for extra credit! EASY A!!!
Intro to World Religions class was an excellent study. Lectures were good and overall laid back and easy as long as you pay attention. You do a presentation and report but I found it fairly easy and fun as you get to pick your interest. Highly reccomend
He is very nice! Easy A if you attended the class. All the work is online and super easy! He's very helpful as well.
I liked Dr.Howard a lot. Nice guy, willing to help, clearly has a passion for teaching and his enthusiasm is contagious, making the class interesting and fun! I'd recommend him to anyone
Dr.Howard is an awsome teacher! He has a passion for what he teaches and he makes it very intresting.You will have to do a 15 min. presentation and a 6pg. research paper. 3 tests and EXTRA CREDIT is available. As long as you attend class and study it should be very easy!
Dr. Howard truly is a great teacher, I could have done better, I hardly studied and that was my own fault. Overall it is a great class, and Dr. Howard has great enthusiasm. Highly recommend!
This guy is LEGIT! TAKE HIM TAKE HIM TAKE HIM NOW! THAT IS A MUST!
Dr. Howard is the best. He has the lecture notes for you, all you do is fill in the blanks. Make sure to study vocabulary,& notes. He give you a number for your topic to do 1 research paper with powerpoint presentation 15 minutes also dress nice,& 3 test. Your 3rd test is the final, also do extra credit 5 out of 6 discussion board, & come to class.
Amazing Amazing!! he is really clear if you put in effort and pay attentions you will pass. His class is the best class i have taken at NLC. Best EDUC teacher. Hurry take his class!!
Dr. Howard is Outstanding! Very informative, felt like he enjoys teaching. Very encouraging and motivating!In addition to his fun but professional demeanor he's very well dressed. Casual but professional.Star mentor. You must take his classes. I look forward to his Philosophy course.
This guy is LEGIT, you're missing out if you don't take his class.
Great professor, keep up with his speed and do the assignments on time you should get an A.
Doctor Howard is my favorite, very informative and he teaches whilst being a class A clean comedian. The most interesting course I have taken and the coolest guy to learn from. 10/10 would take more courses if possible.
Dr. Howard's class was more than just an ordinary class, it was a journey around the world. As Buddha once said "It is better to travel well than to arrive." I learned so much during my time in his class, I didn't miss a single day. He enjoys what he teaches also and shows enthusiasm towards his teachings. Really good teacher, I recommend him!
Professor is awesome! If you have a change to take EDUC with this professor DO IT! The work load is more then i expected but if you stay on it and go to class you should be fine
I would invest my money in this guy, he knows what he teaches, really funny, and has a great personality a long with it. He makes it really simple and easy for us, instructions are clear and and well organized. His teaching style is very fun, which is a plus. Really good guy, I would definitely take any class that he teaches.
Dr. Howard is a wonderful instructor. It is apparent that he is passionate about his work and his students. I'll admit I was not looking forward to taking EDUC. But with Dr. Howard as the instructor, it was the best class I could have taken to begin my college journey. I highly recommend!!
This guy is a great professor, he makes the subject fun and interesting. You will definitely not fall asleep or dread going to class. I would recommend him to anyone.
Easy course if you read every PowerPoint. Chapter quizzes, 3 tests plus one research.
Dr. Howard is THE man, great instructor with an out-of-the-ordinary personality. His lectures are really interesting and he's amazing when it comes to making jokes. You won't regret his class, the work is clear and for the most part easy!
legit teacher, has a good sense of humor and loves jokes. Style of teaching is unique, has good personality, would recommend anyone to take his educ or phil class. Easy A if you take a took at his lecture notes that he already made for the class, just fill in blanks.
I would not say it is an easy class, but a good class. If you take the World Religion class, you will be required to write a 5 page research paper AND present a 15 minute power point both on an assigned religion given at the beginning of semester. The tests you will have to study, but can pass. I learned a lot!
EDUC was an actually pretty cool class. Dr. Howard's very funny and makes the learning interesting. All test/quizzes are open book and the homework is easy to do so long as you manage your time & give thorough answers. Overall a great teacher,everyone should take him for EDUC
Dr. Howard made EDUC very fun and interesting. He's extremely funny and full of energy. All the tests/quizzes are open book and the assignments are easy so long as you manage your time and answer the assignments thoroughly. Everyone should take him.
Dr. Howard, is a great teacher. Thanks to him I have deepened my faith. His integrity is so strong that makes ou wish all men were like him. He always have some great story to help you understand . His class is awesome!!
Dr. Howard is a great professor. This class was the most exciting class I've ever taken. He is very detailed and organized. I would recommend anyone to take this course, you won't be sorry. Most of all he is fun and full of energy. Time flies by before you know it class is over. I just wish all of my classes were as exciting as this one.
I took Dr. Howard for EDUC and he's very good at making the class fun and exciting. The quizzes and tests are online and open book. Only one of the assignments is a little difficult
I took this class online and he was pretty cool.
Dr. Howard is an awesome professor. I took his EDUC class and it was very helpful. This was a very easy A. Take this class if you are new to college. He was fun and very helpful. Just an all around GREAT professor. I will be taking his philosphy course.
I loved this class. Dr. Howard is such an awesome teacher. I wish all my classes were like Dr. Howard's class. He makes the class really fun and you're learning at the same time.
He is exceptional!! The funniest teacher I have ever had!! Definitely he is perfect! Easy A
great class! very good professor. makes the class very entrusting ! should really take Dr. Howards class for educ , you won't regret it !
I took Professor Howard's Learning FrameworkEDUC-1300 Class. His lectures were helpful, informative, & NEVER boring. He keeps your attention the whole time with his lively charisma and good humor. He's very understanding and helpful. The assignments were not hard at all. Just have a good attitude and participate in this class and you'll do fine.
Best instructor Northlake has! Too bad he doesn't teach more classes. Makes it very interactive and interesting. LOTS of lecture notes, maps, & vocab words to study. If you skip class or wait till last minute to study you WILL NOT PASS! 6 page research paper & 15 minute PowerPoint presentation on assigned religion is major project. Very fun class!
Dr. Howard is one of the best instructors I have ever had. His compassion and genuine interest in philosophy is refelected in his teaching style as well as in his constant communication with his students. If you follow the assignment schedule and study the material, there is not reason not to ace his course. I would recommend his class to anyone.
I took the class online in wintermester, what it means that you need to be ready to read. My personal criteria, it was not a lot but if you don't like to read, just be ready. Take a quiz per chapter, and then a quiz per unit. I got an A in this class. It is easy to get it, just do your job.
Class was so easy I finished it in 3 days over a summer mester.
This teacher is great will recommend to every body
Dr Howard is the best professor in all of north lake college. I took him for philosophy and I made an A. His class is very easy, and he makes it fun and interesting. There is some reading to get done, but if you do, you're guranteed an easy A. He has a love for what he does and you can see it in the way he teaches. Would recommend to anyone.
One of the best professors!! Very clear and understanding. If you study you will do just fine. He makes the class very fun and i promise you that you will love going to his class. This sure was an easy A. Show up because attendance counts as a grade. You will for sure need the book and its very helpful when it comes to the tests.
I had him for EDUC. Classes were okay not hard at all if you just do the work. He's always happy, so no dull moments.
I think he should encourage dialogue between his students for his online classes. He is a very busy guy and it takes a couple of days for him to get back to you. It was an interesting class though.
I cannot get enough of this class. I have never enjoyed school until I took Dr. Howard. He has everyone engaged during class. His notes are mostly fill in the blank. Tests are all multiple choice/matching. Try not to miss any lectures. Even though his notes are available online, he has you write down some other important notes on the side. LOVED!!!
Dr. Howard is great! Would recommend to everyone!
He is funny, clear in his expectations for students, and the assignments given aren't particularly difficult. His introductory course provides a very well-rounded view of assignments in college and ensures that new students can properly manage their time and complete assignments when given.
His lectures are very interesting. For the test just make sure you study the lecture notes mainly and the vocab. You only really need the textbook for the vocab so I would just suggest to share one with a friend. He grades fairly easy and their is extra credit on the test. Attendance is a grade in his class.
Awesome instructor! He just wants you to get an understanding .
I took Dr. Howard for spring 2017 he is a great professor and truly cares about his students. He want you to understand religion and get an understanding of where religions started and the effects it has had over history. His test are easy and a bit demanding at the same time you must read the vocab words assigned and go over notes.
This has been by far the most influential course that I have taken in my academic career to date. I was a life changing and invaluable experience that I will cherish for the rest of my life.
Lectures are awesome! He is overall a funny person and has a great personality. Dr. Howard understands we all make mistakes but he reminds us daily of the materials we need. Vocabulary is necessary to pass the test! Multiple choice with matching and fill in the blank.
I enjoy having him as a professor he is super hilarious!
Great class and Great Prof! assignments are easy and doable. STICK to the schedule, meet the deadlines and you will be fine. Took him over the summer, would have made an A if I did met the due dates. Easy class, take him
Dr Howard is one of those teachers who really cares about his students. Come to class with your notes and youll learn and pass. Amazing profesor really enjoyed this class!
nice person only enjoyable class my whole semester funny teacher
Dr. Howard is funny, caring, and knowledgeable. The lectures are interesting and he encourages discussion. I took the 8 week class and we ran out of time to discuss some religions so that was disappointing. He provides fill-in-the-blank lecture notes which make studying easy and effective.
Amazing Professor. Intro to World Religions in a 16 week course was the best class ever! You really understand the beliefs and structure of every faith and religion while engaging with the Professor and your classmates. A very laid back environment where every conversation leads to the topic of the class. He is so funny and knowledgeable. 10/10
Dr. Howard is a very funny and intelligent man. I really enjoyed his class, including his patience with some of my questions. I took this class looking for clarity and understanding in other religions, I found that with this class. I would encourage anyone to take his course, you will not regret it.
Dr. Howard is a great professor. Very easy to get along with and makes the the class very enjoyable. Grading criteria is clear and upfront. I recommend taking his 8 week lecture.
Dr. Howard is so funny and nice! He does give a lot of homework but it's so easy and he gives you so much time to do it so it's an easy 100. I recommend taking his 8-week course. He did make us get a book and he quizzes us on it so I suggest to get it as soon as possible. His lectures are so interesting to listen to and he actual interacts with us.
Very lenient with students when it comes to grading. All of the tests and quizzes are do-able and answers could be found in the textbook with ease (quizzes correlate with readings). P.S- Does not offer extra credit opportunities.
Amazing class; as long as you read and do the chapter questions you will do great! You have one paper to write and you have the whole semester to submit. There is no excuse. Do not procrastinate on the paper!
Dr. Howard is a great professor! As long as you follow the rubric for the paper and study for the exams, you should do well. I would definitely take his class again. His class has enlightened me on all the religious faiths and its history. You will learn a lot from him.
ez class+ great teacher amazing Time
Professor Howard deducted almost a hundred marks from my Reflection Paper simply because I did not format my Bibliography correctly which impacted my entire grade. I contacted him before the grades had to be submitted, but he was rather dismissive. Other than that, his tests and discussion boards were super easy.
The syllabus clearly outlines the course material. I only received one feedback response from the Professor throughout the course. He checked in with students via announcements once in a while. Due dates are mandatory. No late work is accepted. The course material is interesting to read. Overall, this class was okay and filled needed requirements.
Dr. Howard is a sweet, likable professor who cares about his students passing. He ensures every avenue of success and makes sure that the course itself is not too difficult. The topic of the required research paper showed that he is very open-minded and thoughtful. I highly recommend him, even if you just need the credit!
the class was super easy, and definitely worth the credits. i forgot to turn in the final paper but i ended with an A so!!
I took Phil 1301 during summer 2023, Dr. Darryl E Howard is the best professors I ever had. His classes is really fun and interesting. In this class we had to take quiz from text book, exams are open-book, 3 discussion boards and a reflection paper.. One thing I really don't like about this class was some assignments were due 12 noon.
Dr. Darryl E Howard is the best professor I ever had, I took Phil 1301 in summer 2023 and I was really scared if I would be able to pass or no but I got an A+. Easy chapter quizzes, open note exams, 3 discussion boards, and one project.
Easy A. Significant amount of reading, but quizzes and exams are timed/open book. 10-question quiz for each section, 3 exams, 1 paper, and a couple of discussion boards. I recommend the 8-week course, stay on top of due dates and you'll pass for sure.
Great professor. Great class.
I took this class, and it felt quite personal, professor wouldn't really listen and would always insist on his own points, extremely strict and graded based on his preferences, attendance policy was very rigid you couldn't be late by 4 minutes or he make you stand outside for 20 minutes Take this class at your own risk, no extra credit offered
Does respond efficiently, very horrible feedback though. 30% of the course based on 1 essay, in which he doesn't provide anywhere near a clear grading criteria. He's also very unreasonable and doesn't provide any clear feedback whatsoever. Take Mark Arandia instead, trust me.
DO NOT TAKE HIM !!! he does not help you with your assignments or the reading. Just terrible in fact is syllabus did not match is grade book on brightspace.
Don't expect email replies. He grades quickly and copies the same feedback, not very personable. Unnecessarily wordy instructions. Grades final paper harshly.
This class is a breeze! Professor Howard makes the content manageable, and tools like unstuck AI helped me prep for exams. Just stay on top of readings and you'll ace it.
Do not take this professor I have never seen any professor taking student at volunteering outside the class time. He literally secdule us to go to Plano for volunteering. I literally live in Irving and it is too far for some of the student like me. Take attendance exactly at 8am if you miss it then absent in class at least he can wait 5min.
