Stuffy and opinionated

Don't take him if your brain is clouded. He will want a lot of writing from the soul.

Bro Ward takes a very different approach to learning than most people. He is not a teacher to take if you want an easy A. He is the kind of teacher to take if you are serious about learning your major for future professional use. He teaches true skills.

Very enthusiastic. He really cares and really wants to help people learn.

Brother Ward is a teacher that, if you enjoy pushing your own limits and finding out more about yourself, you will love. He truly cares about his students, each of them, and wants them to be better than they thought their personal best could be. I will quite happily take another class from him

he is a very nice guy and not intiminating at all. his way of teaching though is just very different. he is really into deep thinking with his writing. to do well in his class you really got to get into it and participate.

This profesor changed my life! He has a genuine concern for his students and is very generous with his time.

This is a life-changing course...seriously. You will discover more about yourself than you thought possible. He does have high expectations of his students though.

That...he was a good teacher. He really makes you use your noggin, or brain whatever. He really applies what he teaches to the gospel.

Bro. Ward is an awesome teacher. One of my most motivating courses i have ever had in college. Must pay attention and go to class to stay caught up though. I hate english with a passion and he was able to make it interesting to me. Very energetic and sincere.

Bro. Ward is absolutely amazing. Every day you attend you feel uplifted, not just spiritually but intellectually. His assignments require studying out in your mind not just DOING them to get done. If you enjoy writing this is the class for you. He works your brain overtime and you feel great after each and every class! YOU Determine the difficulty.

My mind is addicted to this class! The expectations make you strive to work harder. I have never felt so good about myself, especially when he really gets into his teaching. I think he has perfected the link between temporal and spiritual education. I will never forget the things I've learned about myself and my writing...

Brother Ward is an amazing professor. At first the class was really difficult and I wanted to drop, but if you stick with it it can really change your life. You have to want to learn and understand, and when you finally do your life will be blessed not only temporally in this class but in every other aspect.

I throughly enjoyed taking Bro. Ward's class. It isn't easy because you actually have to THINK, but in the process you learn so much about you and the gospel. The spirit is in class and if you are really their to learn, with the right attitude, you will grow so much. I love this class and would recommend it to anyone that likes to think deep.

One of THE best teachers I have ever had. His classes can change your life. Can be tough, but doable, if you're willing to actually think and work. Extremely willing to help outside of class time, and cares a lot. He actually teaches how to think and write. Def take the computer section. Oh, and the 'no A's' rumor? Not true.

This class is extremely hard, but it is very rewarding as well. Great class!

Bro. Ward is an amazing professor. He works hard to help you in any way he can. A lot of what he does is philosophical so prepare to think hard. His class is difficult but I learned so much. He is a great professor.

I LOVE HIM!!!! IF I CAN I WOULD MAKE EVERYONE TO TAKE HIS CLASS.

Bro ward is incredible. He teaches in a completely different way than anything I've exeriences, but I loved it. He truly cares about what he teaches and the students in his classes. Always willing to help you when you need. I learned so much. Takes effort, but is not difficualt if you pay attention and do the work. great class!

David Ward Changed my life. He knows the purpose of writing. If you want to stop being frustrated with writing take this class, you will develop a passion fro the writing that you did not know you had.

Br. Ward is a magnificent teacher. you do have to put effort in to do well in his class, but if you put in the effort it will show. Br. Ward cares more about you learning, then the process of learning. Prove to him that you've learned what is being discussed in class, and he will give you credit for it. by Far, my favorite teacher on campus.

Brother Ward cares about education and his students! I spent the entire semester frustrated at his particular type of grading, and then finally asked him about it, and he totally changed it! He really does care about his students. Yes, it is a hard class, but this is college and it's time to grow up. Class was slightly more religion than writing.

Brother Ward is my favorite teacher! My writing is head and shoulders beyond where it used to be as a result of him. Sometimes you'll have to ask him to clarify a point, but that's no big deal. If you want to learn, you will learn from Brother Ward. If you don't try to understand what he's teaching, you'll fail miserably! Highly recommended!

Bro Ward is awesome! I had a hard time at first with his teaching style for CS Lewis, but once I got over his quirks I loved it! It's really more of a religion class than an English class, but it's totally worth taking. He's super understanding and helpful. I absolutely recommend this class.

He is a good teacher, I know that his teaching methods are different but are not bad. If you really study and keep reading and do your part, everything is going to be ok. I think this was an easy A. There is not many homework just reading. I recommend him if you are willing to do your part.

He is a good teacher, I know that his teaching methods are different, but if you are willing to do your part and read, everything is ok. It was an easy A, and I actually learned a lot. His is not that bad, it is just very relax. I recommend him if you are willing to do your part and read.

His class will challenge you. If you fully invest yourself you will grow a lot. He's very helpful and interesting; I didn't want the course to end. I followed him perfectly, but depending on personality some people don't like him. If you're fine with less structure you'll love him.

One of the most brilliant teachers ever! My mind was blown every class, he helped me see things in ways that I never had before, made me want to see and hear more of what is good in life

Many people have different views of the type of class Brother Ward has and you can take a lot from his class if you are willing to work. I have had him for 2 classes and they are hard but I have never learned as much in one class than I have from Brother Ward. My advise: If you take his class, be willing to change.

Brother Ward has a difficult class, the hardest part about his class is opening your mind to the beauty and profound nature of the world around us. Your mind will be blown everyday, IF YOU LET IT. He teaches by the spirit and you will grow more through his class than any you have ever taken. You will learn, and more importantly want to grow& learn.

Brother Ward was very inspiring. You have to put forth real effort in this class, but it's worth it! Loved every minute of this class.

I really enjoyed this class and it did expand my thinking but didn't call for outrageous 10 page papers. The things I learned came a lot from discussions and some also from my writing. He is very fun to listen to and has a great sense of humor. I was stressing about college English but I really enjoyed my experience. He's not your typical teacher.

This teacher was great. Yes he graded hard, but that was for a learning purpose. He was very specific in his instructions and i learned a lot about writing and about life in general. however, if you want an easy class this is a 6 on a scale to 10. he is funny and i liked him a lot, but like i said you have to do good work for him to give you an A

I cannot believe the negative reviews I've read of Bro. Ward. Things like "too much about the spiritual" and "tries to make you rethink your way of writing". Heaven forbid you should actually learn something. David Ward is an incredible teacher who shows that deep learning is more important than working for a grade. Some people can't handle that.

Brother Ward is the most inspiring professor I have ever had. He taught me how to discover who I was, who I am, and who I want to be through studying and writing. I believe his diferent teaching methods are what we need here in our lives. He shows us how to gain insights into our personal lives. All around, he is the coolest dude

Went in expecting a typical English Lit class, got a gospel/philosophy class. Still learned a lot and enjoyed it, but it didn't feel like an English class. Brother Ward was very helpful and kind but he does grade more harshly. I do recommend the class to anyone not afraid of writing.

Brother Ward is a very loving, very caring teacher who structures his class around teaching skills instead of facts. He's always there for his students and often takes time out of his own day to discuss any concepts that were missed. The only real complaint that could be made is that his class is very non-traditional.

David Ward's English class plays a key role in gaining a genuine education. He is an inspired man who will love you as his student. The course is not a complex one. Ward guides you through it all. He has a great sense of humor and uses it to teach more effectively.

Bro Ward's class is not for those who do not want to learn. This is not going to be an easy A class but if you really want to learn Bro. Ward is wonderful professor to have. When I went to class I always felt my opinions were valued. This class is going to cause you to learn and grow it ways you never expected.

Absolutely excellent class! I have learned to love writing from this class. He is not easy, and you do have to work for it, but if you do, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT! I did not enjoy writing at all before this class, now I am interested and can write. He teaches in a very unique way, and is extremely helpful especially those who struggle with english

Brother Ward is the kind of teacher who absolutely loves the subjects discussed in the classroom. His enthusiasm and thoughtful approach to each element of the course is contagious. I loved attending his class because I knew that I would learn something new everyday. He cares about learning in a way that doesn't get in the way of education.

Brother Ward is the kind of teacher that really cares about what the class is discussing each day. I looked forward to going to class because I knew I would leave with my mind greatly expanded. He knows how to teach without inhibiting a true learning experience.

If you want an easy 'A', this class is not for you. Brother Ward will challenge your current methods of thinking and learning. He will push you to be better than your previous best. Brother Ward will not just "hand out" grades, but will give you plenty of opportunity to improve and EARN the grade you want and/or need.

Bro. Ward's classes have changed my life. Not only have I acquired better writing skills and techniques, I've been taught how to use writing and reading to enhance the way I think and live. It isn't spoon-fed education. It's not standardized or like any other English class you'll take. They're not always "easy", but his classes are always worth it.

Great teacher. Seems more like a class that deals with problems rather than English. But really this leads you to becoming a better English writer. Unique and life changing if principles are applied.

I would highly recommend this class, especially if writing is hard for you. Brother Ward paces and grades this class on personal and individual improvement. The class is typically small and there is a good balance between lecture and discussion. I found every class to be insightful and inspiring.

First and foremost, Brother Ward doesn't concern himself with the fluff and nonsense and busywork of most other classes. This class was hard. I did very well in it, but I had to do more work and go through more personal growth than I ever had for a class before. If you're not prepared to do that, then don't take it. If you are, you won't regret it.

I absolutely loved Brother Ward's class! It was not easy, but the things we did really contributed to learning and growth. There were no assignments just for "busy work." It was my favorite English class my entire college career. It's faith-promoting rather than doubt-filling.

I greatly enjoyed Bro. Wards class and him as a teacher. I tell everyone who hasn't taken this course yet to do so with Bro. Ward. He won't spoon feed you everything that you need to know or that is expected. Although frustrating for some- I found it to be a very refreshing, challenging, real world approach to education. Highly recommended teacher

He not only gives you genuine education, but will lead you to know how to get the most out of all your education. No other class have I noticed the expansion of my knowledge and understanding. He doesn't depend upon a traditional text book, but lets his instruction live through regular emails. He pushes hard for personal learning not just grades.

Brother Ward made me feel welcome to each class. He answered every email I sent him in question about assignments and what not. I worked and got the grade I deserved. I love what I learned and I learned more about myself. I would encourage anyone to take his class.

Bro. Ward's class was unique. I had him for Major Authors-C.S. Lewis. The class was great We studied Lewis not just by reading through his works, but by studying major sections of them, evaluating them in class, and applying them to our lives. Only homework was 15 journal entries, of which only 5 were long. Not a typical class, but an excellent one

FDENG201 was probably the best class I've ever taken in my college experience. I felt the Spirit more in his class than my religion class that semester. You have to be willing to think outside the box in his class, but it is worth it! I recommend him to all my friends and acquaintances. Take his class! You won't regret it.

This professor is great! There are a few things you should know, though. He gives out pop quizzes on the reading so don't slack off on any reading, he expects you to read the material four or five times at least. He also expects a lot from you, writing assignments should be unique and creative. But, I loved the class!

Brother Ward is a fantastic teacher. He helped me learn more about myself through the things we were reading for the class. I'm glad I didn't check RMP before I signed up for his Intro to Literature class because if I had I might not have taken his class and I might have missed a really good opportunity to improve myself. VERY highly recommended.

Brother Ward is amazing. He's hilarious & I loved going to his class. It's definitely not the easiest but it's worth it! He actually wants you to grow in your learning & make it a blast as well. 300 notes per class, but it's super easy. Just do your homework & follow his instructions & all will be fine. He also sounds like Rex from Toy Story

Bro. Ward is probably one of the best professors I have ever had. He is inspirational and, if you let him, can help you no only better your writing skills but become a better person. His classes are definitely not for everyone. If you have a bad attitude and aren't willing to work, don't take his class.
