I took her class a couple of semesters ago, but I have to say that I learned alot in it. She does grade her "challenges" (not "tests") hard. I did not think she was that religious, like some others have said.

I had Yeager for Theo 001 and was not a fan. So,I was hesitant to take her again. But, I must say, she is much better this time. I would not hesitate to reccomend Yeager for anyone interested in taking her for an upper division course, as her passion is felt and she is a good professor.

Professor Yeager is definately worth taking. She turns what could be a basic, dull intro theology class into an something exciting and covers really great material. She's one of Georgetown's best professors, don't listen to the naysayers.

Professor Yeager was without a doubt the best professor I had in my 4 years at GU. I took Problem of Evil as well as Problem of God and I am more proud of the work I did for her in those classes than anything else I did at Georgetown. But hey, if you don't want a challenge and you dont want to work hard, stay away.

I think a lot of the bad ratings Yeager gets are from people who have no interest in theology/religion/philosophy and only took Problem of God because they had to. If you are someone who is genuinely interested in theology, Yeager is a great professor to take. I found her challenging, but I learned a lot.

Okay...so Yeager is NOT easy, but she is really knowledgable and interesting. If you don't like to think at a VERY deep level, you will hate this class. Doing well is very rewarding. If you really want to learn a lot, and you're already interested in THEO, then take her.

The comments already here are accurate: it's easy to get a B, hard to get anything else. The lectures can drag at time, but they are often more like dramatic monologues than lectures. Prof. Yeager is extremely helpful outside of class and presents interesting material.

The class is really boring and it is really hard to get an A. The books assigned are painful to read, but Yeager talks about the book in full detail during class so reading is not exactly necessary.. but i guess it is helpful because she likes participation.. Copy down EVERYTHING she says and use it on the tests and you are good.

She is a nice professor that is very passionate about the subject matter. However she is a very hard grader, and I felt at times that the grading was somewhat unfair. If you are thinking of majoring in Theology I would definetely recommend her, as you will learn a lot. Otherwise you probably shouldn't -- under 10% of the class gets an A

Really an excellent theology professor, gets a bad rap because the average Georgetown student doesn't possess the intellectual depth necessary to perform well in her class. The class requires a lot of work and reflection, but is worth it. Although she explains everything thoroughly, you need to read to do well. Participation in class is also key.

Please don't take Prof. Yeager looking for an easy A and then complain when it's not the braindead intro class you expected. Take her class if you actually want to learn something.

This professor is highly under-rated and this has to be the best course I've taken so far at Georgetown. I looked forward to her class every week because she has a firm grasp on her area of study and always offers unique insight about the readings which are often vague and difficult to interpret, as is the case with most theological texts.

She is a really good professor! At first Problem of god did not sound very interesting but her classes were amazing! Students could/had to participate and discuss and the books (except for 2/6) were pretty good! I def recommend taking this class! You'll end up thinking about stuff u maybe had never thought of before!

If you want a mindless intro course, don't take this class. If you want to be stimulated, challenged, and learn a lot about the subject material and your own spirituality, this course is the one for you. Yeager is extremely helpful, and her class is not impossible to get an A in. Go to class, participate, and you're set for an A.

Fantastic! She is my favorite professor at Georgetown. The reading could be challenging, but she goes out of her way to explain them and does a fantastic job. You actually have to think in her class, but it's very rewarding in the end. Highly recommended.

Very interesting class. She takes abstract texts and makes them reasonably clear. Interesting approach to POG. Not easiest class to get an A in, as she does have favorites, but her tests are not as scary or impossible as they seem. She is brilliant and often shockingly hilarious. I think her approach to POG connects to life better than any other.

Very good teacher. Takes texts that are very hard to understand and makes their concepts very clear. Interesting class for those who think themselves knowledgeable believers or atheists. Grade is dependent on writing capabilities and depth of ideas. She does tend to play favorites.

I really loved her and the books she assigned for Problem of God. It isn't the standard Problem of God class, but I highly recommend it. She is not easy.

Passionate teacher, but class readings are often dense. Only little reading needed, tests focus on lectured material. All classes are straight lecture, no variety. Test and essay grading is both hard.

loves citations...smh. good class tho

If you call the books that she assigns useless you don't belong at Georgetown. Georgetown students are a bunch of complainers

She is a great problem of God teacher. Alot of reading but it is very interesting. I like it because it's not just the study of the Bible or different religions. It makes you think. Lectures are enlightening, could be a little boring in the beginning but good. DO THE WORK. Very helpful, I enjoyed the class. Material can be applied to real life

Yeager is a much better professor than some of the comments make her seem. Yes, the readings are very difficult, but she does an excellent job of explaining them during class. She is an understanding person, however, her tests (especially the multiple choice portion) are a bit painful. She definitely exceeded my expectations for the class.

yeager is an amazing prof but her class is hard. you need to do the reading and participate in class to get on her good side but if you pay attention and do the hw you will appreciate the lectures. its not an easy A but if you put in the work you'll do well. shes clear about what she wants you to do. the class is rewarding and shes a great teacher

She's not too good at keeping the class focused and on-track but if you develop a reasonably good understanding of the concepts involved, you'll do just fine. She expects you to be thorough and precise in your analysis, but she's fair and if you do and understand at least most of the reading you'll have no trouble.

She is absolutely amazing. Will blow your mind every class. It's not about looking at a million religions it's about what the point of religion is at all. She's extremely helpful when you come to her office hours and when it comes to grading, she tells it like it is.

I had Dr. Yeager years ago...she is a brilliant woman and a very effective teacher who helps her students develop sharp critical thinking and writing skills. She is one the few who really prepared me for graduate school and I am fortunate to have been her student.

I loved Yeager for Ethics & Ecology. She was passionate about the subject matter and the class is a combination of lecture and discussion. Readings are interesting and rarely very long. Very little day-to-day work: only a couple papers and a presentation that's very flexible. Yeager is so sweet and answers questions clearly and wants to help.

Very very hard class. You're grade is more of a reflection of who you are as a person, not how much work you put into the class. As a PoG professor she approaches the subject from a distinct way, and while some may appreciate others may not. It is largely based off European literature, and you dont really discuss God at all in the class.

Yeager is a great professor. Yes, her class is harder than other PoG classes, but it is also very profound and interesting. If you just want an easy A and don't care about the class, don't take her, but if you're actually interested and willing to read, this class will be very rewarding. Despite the reading, there's only 3 tests and participation.

This class is definitely not an easy A, but if you are at all interested in theology or expanding your mind and thought process, I highly highly recommend taking this class from an amazing professor

Professor Yeager's class ins't easy but certainly is worthwhile.

I am currently a senior at Georgetown and took Professors Yeager as a freshman. To this day, her PoG class has been one of the best classes I have ever taken. Yeah, the reviews say it's difficult. It's difficult. But since when has the profound been easy? Wouldn't everything and everyone be profound in that case? Great reading list and discussions

Professor Yeager is very a very passionate and sweet lady. She made some dense, confusing philosophy easy to digest and made sure the class was collaborative and discussion-based. I enjoyed most of the readings that we did and couldn't recommend her more!

Yeager is a good professor. She assigns interesting, though complex, readings and does a good job of giving a broad overview of different theological schools, and she is good at explaining complex concepts, and is often available outside of class. One thing I will say is make sure you REALLY understand the readings when writing her papers.

Yes, this class is hard, but Yeager is a very kind and understanding teacher who makes it enjoyable. This class really makes you think about your perspective on life and is extremely valuable if you put in the effort. The readings are interesting but be ready to skim the book for exact bits of info for the papers-buy the ebook to make this easier.
