Dr. Lemons was an extremely good teacher who treated each student with respect. I would highly recommend this course and teacher to anyone.

Definitely recommend this class

Great teacher who cares about his students. I actually enjoyed taking his class at 8 am as he tried to keep the topic interesting. I learned a lot in this class and would recommend it to anyone! Easy A/B+

Dr. Lemons is great. I respect him so much as a teacher and he really cares about his students while presenting the material in a passionate, understandable way. Excellent course.

Took the MayMester class so it might be different, but I bought the text and didn't open it once. Didn't need it at all. Made an A in the class. We let us watch movies every other Friday. Really nice and seems to be genuinely interested in his students!

Great guy, genuinely cares about his students. You can't be lazy in his class or you'll fall behind, you have to earn your grade.

Awesome class! The best honors class that I have ever had. The research project was very interesting and the tests were fair. Dr. Lemons cares for his students and is a great lecturer. The class discussions were also a highlight.

If you are interested in religion in American culture, you will love this class. He is one of the best professors that I have had. The ethnographic research was challenging but rewarding. Don't miss this class if you need an upper level religion class.

Great class and great teacher! Fun and Interesting. Best professor I've ever had.

Dr. Lemons is a great instructor. The class was fun, and I learned to look at everything in new ways. The most challenging part of the course was changing my view of the world, rather than struggling to get a decent grade, and this was awesome.

I loved this class! Dr. Lemons was really interesting, and never made us do more work than we needed to. I didn't feel like he had favorites at all, and although I didn't talk a lot, I still got full participation points. This class is an easy A, but you still learn a lot. I would recommend Lemons to anyone!

Favorite class at UGA so far! Great teacher. The research project is challenging but rewarding.

He's a good teacher with a great sense of humor. You can tell he really cares about his students. If you read the book, the tests aren't bad. Class lectures (attendance is required) can be redundant. The paper that makes up a majority of your grade is tedious, but the TA graded lightly. I found the class to be a fairly easy A.

Dr. Lemons is very knowledgeable, helpful, approachable and cares about students learning. The format of the class (discussion groups) helped me learn and kept the content interesting.

I loved Dr. Lemons' cultural anthropology class. Lectures are interesting. He is helpful. I thought the discussion groups were awesome. If you study, read, and go to class, you will do well in class. Highly recommended!!

Great first honors class! Large amounts of class discussion. Dr.Lemons was a great teacher. Follow the directions on the rubric and its easy. The tests are much harder because they don't exactly what we study in class. But only 1/4 of your total grade.

Awesome professor!!! Best teacher that I have had at UGA. He made learning Anthropology interesting and fun. Highly recommend!!!

Interesting class even at 8 am. I loved Dr. Lemons. He really cares about students and was a great teacher. If you work hard, you can make an A. You must read and study.

Dr. Lemons is great. Class is interesting with a mix of lecture and group discussion. Highly recommend!

Dr. Lemons is a great teacher. Classes are a mixture of lecture and discussion. He really cares about students. Attendance and reading are mandatory to do well on tests.

Dr. Lemons is an amazing professor. Even with over 200 students, he made class worth attending. I did have to read and attend class to do well. I highly recommend.

I loved Dr. Lemons. He really cares about students and is a great teacher. I learned a lot about Christianity in American culture. I highly recommend this class.

takes attandance so you need to show up. only 2 tests. most of your grade is a semester long ethnography. Get started early. He breaks it into sections grades them and gives feedback. Then you rewrite and do a presentation. Good class if you need an upper level religion, great professor very nice and helpful.

Dr. Lemons is a great teacher. I highly recommend this honors course. Even at 8 a.m. In the morning, class was engaging! The class party at his house was a blast too!

I did independent research with Dr. Lemons and it was one of my favorite experiences at UGA. He is smart guy with a great world view and a big heart. Easy to talk to and made diving into research extremely enjoyable. Planning on taking his Anthropology of American Religion class in the Spring. Highly recommend looking into doing research with him!

An interesting course that is definitely not what you'd expect. Dr. Lemons cares about his students and gets to know them. Pace yourself on your final ethnography research project, it's a huge chunk of your grade. Tests are lecture based and fairly easy, just go to class. The textbook is used some but not as necessary as it seems.

Take Him! You have one big research study for the class, but the tests are not bad. Relatively easy A with a moderate amount of work.

This class is an easy A if you do not mind conducting research and writing, but when it comes to his lectures they are not necessary. I finished the class and still do not know what the purpose of this class was, other than learning how to conduct our own research. The hardest part is the final because the class is based on research but its curved.

Religion 1003 is a great class to take if you can't get into RELI1001. Dr. Lemons gives good feedback on assignments, he is easy to talk to, and he allows for plenty of time for each assignment. The course is research and paper based, but it is not that bad. There is an extra credit assignment which is super easy and a curved final at the end.

Tests are mostly based off of the book, and the class is focused on a big project that you shouldnt wait until last minute to do. Professor is nice and typically an easy grader

Dr. Lemons is super into his work, and I really appreciate that in a professor. There is a project that is a large portion of your grade, but if you start it early its pretty easy. He also had a class dinner at his house, super caring professor!

The class is really easy as long as you submit all of the assignments. The only reason why I didn't end with an A is because I did the opposite of that :'). Attendance is optional, but he will call you out if he notices that you're not in class that often; it's better to go to stay on his good side, he'll be more lenient with you as well :)

Best class that I have taken at UGA. I really enjoyed the ethnography project and class discussions. He really cares about students. He even invited the class over to his house for a party. Highly recommend!

Dr. Lemons is funny and a great professor. Success = good notes and keeping up with readings. Low maintenance course with occasional homework assignments. There's 2 online tests, but big assignment is a lengthy paper & presentation. Super interesting lectures and encourages group discussion. He'll make you LOL with TikTok references and dad jokes.

Dr. Lemons is very funny and caring. This class was pretty easy if you put effort into it - do your readings on time (he gives a schedule on the syllabus) and take notes in class. 2 tests over lecture/book material and a semester-long lengthy ethnography research project/presentation. It takes time but if you follow the structure it's not too bad!

I am excited to go to this class every time. He is so engaging and funny and this class really challenges my beliefs. Our TA, Tyler Kelley, was amazing, and both are passionate about the subjects in the class. The majority of grades comes from a semester-long project, but take the feedback given by the TA and you'll be fine. 100% recommend.

Dr. Lemons is one of the nicest, funniest, and most caring professors I've had so far. His lectures were always interesting and funny.The class itself is not difficult if you just show up, pay attention, and start your ethnography early. The ethnography is a lot of work itself, but it is totally doable.

Lemons is a fantastic professor. Took him for RELI 4111, but the course code isn't on here. Start your ethnography as early as possible because complications are likely, and show up to lectures because the discussions are worth it. Readings were manageable and both he and his TA, Sarah, were amazing at working with students outside class.

AWESOME CLASS & SUCH A CARING PERSON !!! Basically, complete one very manageable project (ethnography - interview ppl about a religious question & write your conclusions & personal insights) and you will love the class. Idk much about the details of diff religions still but I feel like many of my preconceived notions were incorrect so I am happy

Dr. Lemons class was one of my absolute favorites to attend. His lectures were very engaging and the class discussions were super interesting. The tests are based very heavily off the textbook, but his lectures give you almost all of the information. One big paper at the end, get ahead on that it can get overwhelming. 100% recommend Dr. Lemons!

Dr. Lemons is amazing. He is my favorite professor so far. His lectures include a lot of class discussion and encourage you to think deeply about religion. I really enjoyed the class party at the end of the semester. He is the only one of my professors that invited his class over to his house. Awesome class!

Dr. Lemons is a great professor. My favorite at UGA. He uses cultural anthropology to better understand religion. In this class, he discusses many different religions but often discusses his research about Christians in America. Reading is very important because the two tests are primarily focused on reading. I loved the autoethnography assignment.

Dr Lemons is the best professor I've had. He genuinely cares about all his students, we had 2 class parties and it was awesome. Attendance is really important but his lectures are really engaging. I looked forward to his class every week. Absolutely goated prof and person!

Professor Lemons is the favorite professor i have had at UGA so far. his lectures are very engaging and he's very funny. the class is graded by just a few things (2 tests attendance and a presentation) but they are all easy.

Attendance was mandatory with a sign-in sheet—tests open note and from the textbook. Lemons cares a lot about students even outside of the classroom. If you go to class and put in effort you should walk out with an A+. My easiest class of the semester yet can get boring at times.

Dr. Lemons is one of the best professors I've taken at UGA. I genuinely enjoyed him and coming to class. He does get off topic some, but im sure no one minds. He also has so many connections, and brought in Kirk Cousins once. His class was easy and he wants to build relationships. Presentation was the hardest, participation is graded.

This professor actually cares about his students. He lectures but also lets student discuss among themselves about the subject. I personally believe the only way to truly learn a subject is to let students actually talk about the subject in class. If you want a truly great experience and to actually learn a subject take this class.

This is the second course I've taken with Dr. Lemons (good sign), and I enjoyed every second of it. Lemons has an obvious passion for his subject and position and he'll make anyone feel welcome in a class room. Lectures are discussion based, the work load is especially light for a 4000 level course, do the readings and you will ace the exams.

Dr. Lemons was great! All the lectures were good, but take this class if you are a religion major or need a religion credit! You will learn a new perspective on religion worldwide and how religion plays a big part in the government.

Dr. Lemons is a great choice for a religion/anth credit, he's very caring and extremely knowledgeable! This class is a relatively light workload, just a few assignments but lots of readings and in-class discussions. Overall I would take a class of his again for sure

Dr. Lemons is a wonderful professor that really cares about his students. There's only three assignments, three tests, and a presentation, all of which are relatively easy. Though there is a lot of reading that you HAVE to read to get a good grade on the assignments. Dr. Lemons also allows for a lot of discussion which is really nice.

chill guy, a good bit of reading but probably on the lower end in terms of religion classes. 3 exams but they are easy as long as you do the reading or cntl+f. 1 presenatation its 7 min max length and basically a completion grade. We did a sacred campus tour, interviewed some cool people as a class, and ended with a pizza party.

really nice guy; took us out for dinner

take this class; super nice and took us out to dinner

His lectures are long, kinda has a dad voice but is funny and cares about his students.

I love dr. lemons and his class. he's very relatable, relaxed, and funny. lectures can SOMETIMES be a little long and boring, but you get to talk a lot to the people around you and our class actually built a good relationship with each other. tests are super easy, take-home, open-note + not recorded. definitely take it for a fun and easy A.

Very nice guy! Held paid class dinner and is very funny. Extra credit opportunities. Would take again.

An easy class, sometimes would get really boring, but Dr. Lemons is great. Most of the content on the tests comes from the textbook and not the lectures, so make sure to read and take notes on that. Tests are at home and open note.

The nicest guy, super boring lectures. But he is funny and cares alot about his students, class itself is pretty easy. Tests are easy and at home/open notes. Would recommend if you need the gen-ed credit, very low stress class

Professor Lemons is one of the best professors I have ever had. He creates such a fun learning environment, is hilarious, and cares so much about his students (he took us out for dinner!). Reading the textbook is actually so helpful so I would recommend it. Only graded on 4 things: 2 exams (online, super easy), a presentation, and attendance.

Very funny and cares a lot about his students. Lectures can get pretty boring at times but the class is relatively easy. Grade is split evenly between a presentation, attendance, and two online open note tests. Would reccomend for the gen-ed credit.

This is my 2nd class with dr lemons, I think he is a great prof!! There is lots of discussion (which sucks if you have someone annoying asf in class) but its great, he really cares about his students and just wants to see you learned something

This class is very easy. As long if you attend the class you will be fine, plus the in class discussions are interesting. I definitely recommend Dr. Lemons, he's extremely kind!!
