Dr. Croteau was actually a tutor in Greek for me and really beat me up with trick questions. He actually made up a Greek word (Hapolegemonai - I STILL REMEMBER IT TO THIS DAY!) while he was quizzing me for a cummulative vocab test. It was at about the 300th word and it really freaked me out. Man, he's tough!
Dr. Croteau is pretty cool. Warning- you will NOT get out early. I have him for a 3 hour class. It is obvious that he really enjoys what he teaches. Do the reading. Very good teacher, knows what he's talking about. He's got a fun sense of humor, which makes the 3 hours bearable. Take him. Good class.
He's a good teacher, and you can quickly tell he's a genuine person. Dr. Croteau is one of the best teachers I've had at liberty.
Definatly knows what he is talking about. Loves the book of John, and you'll hear that about a million other times. Tests and Paper are long and hard. Outlines a nightmare. Expects you to be a Bible scholar even in a 100 level class.
he's a cool dude. i think he could probably beat up most other professors.
Really good communicator, sometimes class can seem to go on forever, but at 7:50 everything goes on forever.
Is well prepared, has good powerpoints, keeps it interesting.
Entertaining guy, interesting material. he knows a lot, researches the rest and it shows. loves answering any cooky or real questions ya got. will bend over backwards to help you out. got two really cute kids, too...
He is possibly the best professor I have ever had for Bible 323, granted he is the only one. He is the only professor I know who is able to take my sarcasm and dish back it out. If you want to know about the book of John then this is the class for you. Just watch out for your Hermeneutics, you might find out just how wrong you are.
This guy is great!!! He puts alot of time into his lectures... He knows his stuff. Not to hard of a class. Amazing Prof
Good Man of God Little tough but he's only tough because he wants you to know the material. Great class!
Well, besides having a quiz everyday the hardest exams know to man where you have to memorize outlines of the books of the NT that are like 5 pages long I guess he is okay. He is a nice man, but often a boring professor. Very nice person though and actually very nteresting when you have a one on one conversation!
Well, he's a great guy, but he's really hard. He's a new teacher, so he doesn't know how hard to make things yet. I don't agree with everything he teaches. I have a little bit more fundamental Christian views, but I still accept other viewpoints, whereas he sometimes states opinion as fact, and sometimes just says wack things...
Dr. C is an awesome professor! Last class I left having learned so much that I could barely contain all the information! His class is funny and interesting. He knows his bible.
hes a very good teacher who obviosly spends a great deal of time preparing for class. he knows the new testament inside and out and is very succint in speaking. hes also very approachable and takes great care in explaining things so the entire class understands. overall hes a great professor, and an interesting guy. highly recommend.
Croteau is rediculously difficult for a 100 level class. He makes you write a 10 page commentary on the book of John. He requires too much work for such a low level class. He is very knowledgable though. The class is dreadfully long and he doesn't smile very much. Boring but smart... that's what he is. Don't take him unless you want a challange!!
The man is amazing. Good class. Nough said. He deserved the chili pepper.
Dr. Croteau really did a great job on his first semester teaching! =] It's really not a hard class as long as you DO YOUR WORK. As long as you do that, you should be fine.
He really knows his stuff and really has the gift of teaching. I really enjoyed his class. As long as you do the work and study for the tests, you'll get an a or b. He hints often about what will be on the test, so pay attention to that too.
Dr. Croteau knows his stuff. You learn alot and he's always willing to deviate from the lesson plan if it means that you'll get all of your questions answered. On top of that, he's a really nice guy and his family likes to visit and give you cookies! Definitely my favorite class during my first semester.
croteau was incredible. I walked away with an incredible understanding of the book of Acts.
This class kills me.
He's the man, knows his stuff.. always there to help, clear and fun :)
Dr Croteau is my favorite professor at Liberty. He knows what he's talking about and has the desire and ability to share with us what the New Testament is all about. He is passionate about what he does and his class is never boring. He makes his lectures tons of fun and he's HILARIOUS! Wish he taught classes in my major.
The number one thing you can count on croteau for is this, whatever the topic may be, the general opinion of all Christian scholars out there, you can be sure that he will disagree with them all and will have a different take on the bible. He made the comment in my class that there are 4 things wrong with John 3:16 and that the "bible has flaws". T
False prophet, "I disagree" from knowledgeable scholars, the Bible has flaws, and this man is a horrible teacher. Nuff said
I took Old Testament last semester and couldn't wait to expand my knowledge of the Bible , but when I got to Croteau's class I was severely disappointed. He spent the first three weeks not even talking about the Bible. The only fun part about this class is hearing "I disagree" all the time, and seeing people get decked with flying monkey's.
Exellent Professor He's right about everything he says He also checks Rate My Professor and gives extra credit
I would say he's really not that bad. His tests are NOT that hard (or at least my class he gave us the study guide and the test was word for word off the study guide). Flying monkeys aside, he isn't super strict, and he seems to be real, a lot. I like his willingness to just open up and share his opinion.
as Hindson awakens the Old Testament Croteau puts to sleep the class and New Testament. Overall a nice guy, just puts emphesis on the useless facts (very data oriented) and takes his class far to serious for a gened course.
He is a very insitefull teacher and you will learn that "discription does not equal prescription."
Dr. C is an amazing teacher and has a heap of biblical knowledge. He goes into depth about what he believes and why he believes it. He is willing to talk with students whether in his class or not about any issue they have. Also, he comes to campus events with his family and likes to hang out. Great prof and great teacher!
Great guy, strong Christian, great professor.
Dr. Croteau is the best and any Honors people out there must take his class. He's got a ton of knowledge about the subject and can really be trusted on various issues. Funny personality, adorable family. One of my best classes here at LU.
Dr.Croteau has a WEALTH of biblical knowledge and if your interested, he'll share. He does not treat this class as an entry level class, you will talk about the controversial topics of the New Testament and you have to be prepared for his quizzes and tests, don't expect to skate buy. If you're a motivated learner, it's a great class to take.
I'm sorry I was under the impression that this was a BIBLE 110 course not CROTEAU 110 course. Half of this man's final was "according to your professor" Who cares about what you think Croteau? Get off your high horse, you aren't as smart as you think you are, and most of your knowledge came from someone else's book. Terrible course, ruined me to L
Very knowledgable man! He is also quite good at giving all points of view and dissecting them. He can be quite funny as well. He expects his students to keep on top of the material, but is most assuredly not unfair. If I had the opportunity, I would not hesitate to take him again!
Get this! Dr. Crotea brought in some ancient manuscripts he claims are the dead sea scrolls. He said that he dug them up in his basement. Hermeneutics is basically him trying to write a new Bible. Anyone going into the fields of animal husbandry should really check this course out.
For those of you who are complaining that Croteau is too tough a teacher I would advise returning home to live with your parents and attending community college. This is not high school and it is sad that when you are expected to push yourself by a prof you complain. All of his classes are challenging but you will learn so much, I have taken 4!
I like this class and the professor, I think hes really funny and has a lot of interesting and intelligent things to say.
Great professor and a great course, however he references ratemyprofessor.com entirely too much and should just let go of the comments people are making about him.
This class is awesome. He teaches you so much more than the bible. It is going great!
Croteau is a great professor who is passionate about teaching. His classes are amazing and you will learn a lot if you apply yourself. The best subject with him is probably John, but they are all great and the only problem with his classes are that the students think that they are God's gift to the earth and have to give imput every two minutes
This is a man with the gift of teaching. If only the students in his class would let him speak. I love listening to his lectures, and he is so full of knowledege, but he needs to tell his students to stop lecturing to him and let him speak. I take the class for his knowledge, not others. Take him for John for sure!
Dr.Croteau is my favorite professor here at Liberty. He is a wealth of information, and his goal is for us to learn the material. This is very rare in professor's now-a-days! He is a wonderful teacher!
Patient. Wise. Desires for students to really learn. Has phenomenal children.
Sweet. He has so much insight and wisdom which he loves to share with his students. He is passionate about teaching his students the Bible and even translates parts into Greek so you can understand it's original meaning. FUNNY! He has beautiful children!
The fact that Croteau lets the jokes and the opinions of his class body be the foucs of every session, leaves me to wonder how great this class could've been. Don't get me wrong, you will learn under David Croteau. But for every useful class session he teaches, be prepared to sit through 4 irrelevant ones taught by his students.
Dr. Croteau is a phenomenal professor whose goal is to help student understand and LOVE the Word of God. He invites questions and never takes the easy way out when it comes to answering them. He is careful to take everything he teaches back to scripture. His passion for learning and teaching makes me passionate about learning from him.
He is an awesome teacher! Any questions you may have he will effectively explain it to the best of his ability and he is not afraid to speak his mind or say when he is not sure of something. He makes the class fun and interesting. I highly recommend him!
FANTASTIC PROF!!! I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone. You can tell he truly cares up helping his students.
Excellent Professor, very informative, interesting and challenging. I would recommend to any and all students.
I want to be like Dr. Croteau when I grow up.
he's basically the man, great guy, very smart, just show up and take notes and you'll be fine.
Great Professor, very clear and willing to answer and explain any question. Prepares students for exams with awesome reviews. Great person all around, especially for talking on a personal level. Take him or Dr. Fowler for Acts.
Amazing Professor, this is his best class. Full of information regarding textual issues concerning John. He presents a plurality of options for each text, but explains the book well. Exams are easy if you study, his paper grading is more focused on whether you put effort into it than grammatical organization or format.
Dr. Croteau is the bomb diggity.
Interesting, Funny and Challenging
Great professor, very knowledgeable of the subject. He posts all power points on blackboard and gives exam study guides. Come to class, do your reading, and study the power points and study guides and you will get an A
Best Teacher i've had because he gives a very unbiased approach to hermeneutics. Probably within the top 3 most brilliant men I have ever met. Great guy and very personal and will work with you so you can do well.
Yeah, Crow-toe is the coolest guy ever... he know's the Greek language like the back of his hands...(oh, what's that doing there???) j/k he's cool, but a Vocab Nazi; beware the vocab
What can I say? I am a man of my word. Everyone should take Dr. Croteau no matter what your major is. Chili Pepper!
Croteau is a great man and a great professor. If you can take him for anything, I'd recommend it. He's down to earth and personable. He's understanding and helpful. Take him to learn and have fun doing it.
Croteau is an amazing teacher, The biggest thing you have to remember is that he loves vocab and he will give you cumulative test every couple days, but besides that it is a great class
Too bad he didn't teach grad school. I recommend you take him for John.
What a great guy. His office is always open.
Coolest guy walking down the religion hall. Always has the monkey hanging out of his back pocket. Pretty much a walking commentary. Awesome family man. Take him for any new testament class.
Awesome teacher. He is very knowledgeable. I have told a few Bible major friends at other colleges about what we were picking apart in the class and they were totally jealous! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Dr. Croteau is an awesome teacher! He is very intelligent and knows the Bible. I loved his class and it really gave me insight into what I read from the Bible on my own. The only downside is you have to read three books and write papers on them all, and his tests are not scantron. They were hard, but if you studied, then you would be fine.
He is a great prof! He knows the material so well and I learned so much about the New Testament. He has a good sense of humor too and the class is not boring. He made the material really interesting. The tests are kind of long but if you study you should be fine. I recommend him highly!
He's good. Real good. Take him if you can. Study his powerpoints and read the book carefully.
He is the very best Bible Prof. I have ever had and the best that I possibly will ever have. Very helpful, clear, and knowledgeable. I walked away konwing more than I ever thought I would. OH... AND HE IS HOTT!!!!! ;)
He has forgotten more about the Bible than I will ever know. He not only knows alot but eplains it in an easy and fun way. He is absolutely histerical!
Bible 110: The course was amazing, Croteau's class was one of the most enjoyable classes I have ever taken, and I learned so much. It was awesome hearing him debate with people, there was never a worthy challenge. The tests were extremely straightforward, the study guides prepared you 100% He was funny, extremely knowledgable, def. recommend him!!
Dr. Croteau is a great teacher! He makes class enjoyable even when the material is not. He is not to hard but be prepared to do all of your reading and come ready to pay attention, otherwise you will be hit by the flying monkey!
Easily my favorite class all semester. Highly highly recommended teacher and class. I'll take Croteau for as many classes as I can. He really cares about his students. For 210, know his powerpoints THOROUGHLY for the midterm and tests. Great class.
Everyone knows that CROW TOE is way hotter than Ben G.
This class has been the most influential on my life over every other class at LU, and I am a Business Major! Everyone NEEDS to take this, it should be made mandatory for everyone to take.
Take him for John! You'll be surprised how much there is about the book that you don't know!
Dr. Croteau not only does a great job of teaching the Word, but makes it applicable for the student's spiritual life. His assignments appear to be quite the load but prove to be very beneficial. I can't wait to take his HERMENEUTICS class.
Just buy him some Coffee fool and maybe he will give you an A. He likes it when you send emails to him while he is in the middle of teaching and if he throws the screaming monkey at you...stand up and rip its head off. (I just said all that to see if I could get on one of his power points before class).
Very intelligent
Everyone seems to love him for class, but I'm an online student and he does very little as far as power points or something to study. 8 week courses are hard because we'll do 200 pages a week or so with no clue of how to study for the test. It's basically here's the reading....here's the test. I'm sure he's way different in a classroom setting.
Dr. Croteau is an amazing teacher. He is willing to work with anyone outside of class. Great Professor.
I love love love Dr. Croteeau. I do not know of a more caring proff. He is so kno0wledgeable but attempts to make that knowledge applicable to His students. He is great.
Avoid this goober. 1) Don't buy the book-- it's a waste of time and money. 2) He wastes so much time on verses that don't need to be explained & by the time something worth being explained comes along, we don't have enough time to talk about it. He also has an extreme pride issue. He really needs to sit down to consider his motives for teaching.
Doc is fantastic. He brings a balanced point of view to things and teaches one to think critically about the issues at hand. He isn't the easiest prof, but that's a good thing. His classes are worth your time, for they better you as a student and as a believer.
awesome! very helpful and makes the class fun and interesting.
Great professor, loves the subject, loves the students. Willing to help you with anything and makes the material extremely accessible and understandable to the students.
Dr. Croteau is not only a passion inspiring teacher, but he knows how to make students understand and comprehend no matter how they learn. I have taken every course i could possibly take that Dr. Croteau teaches... Why? Because he is an amazing teacher and appreciates students that think for themselves.
Course was taken online. Professor automated his weekly announcements. Provided no feedback through email correspondence or discussion board postings. The text was great although the course didn't properly apply it to the learning objectives. This professor may be great residentially but teaches online to supplement his annual income!
Its clear that Croteau sincerely cares for his students. His reverence for the Scripture is admirable and his has a unique ability to communicate not only biblical truths, but also the methods for discovering these truths. It's been nothing short of a privilege to sit under his teaching.
Liberty's best prof! I took every single class he taught. His teaching was part of what led me to change my major to Biblical Studies. All of his classes are great, but the best were honors New Testament, John, and Hermeneutics. He is a funny, compassionate man, who deserves more praise than he gets. Take him!
This class was only my second "upper level" Bible class at Liberty. I was nervous to take his class after reading some of these reviews (most likely by slacker students) but I can honestly say I looked forward to his class almost every day. Croteau (Crow-Toe) knows his stuff and was cool to talk too.I look forward to taking his class again!
I learned alot. He has an awesome family. I will definitely take another class with him.
Worth the class.
