Oberman is a great professor. She is very kind and helpful. You have to put in time to understand the material but she is very receptive about helping you. She is a great teacher and you can really learn a lot and have fun in the course. I would recommend it.

I don't know why people do not like her as a teacher or her classes. I loved this class and found it to be really easy because she gives out so much extra credit. She can be a little scatter-brained, but is super nice and cares about her students. Go to her TA's review sessions and you will do fine on the test.

Hester really cares about her students. Assignments are easy because you pretty much just turn them in because the grading was nice. Go to TA review sessions and youll get As on the tests. She floats around but is really sweet and this class had us read some of the most interesting materials.

This is a wonderful class that everyone should take during their undergraduate career. Professor Oberman is a great professor who cares about her students and about the material she teaches. Come to class, read all the material, and you will not need to worry about your grade.

Professor Oberman is a wonderful professor who really cares about her students. Although attending lectures and reading the assigned texts are a must to pass, she makes the class really enjoyable and covers incredibly interesting topics. Assignments are generally pretty easy and help you to better understand the topics covered. This is a MUST take!

Dr. Oberman is an amazing professor. She cares so much for her students. Her class is taught seminar style so it is a super interactive course. She really will not let you fail if you just ask for help. She does everything her in power to make sure every student understands the material, I would take her class again and recommend her class to all!

Professor Oberman is a wonderful woman. She knows what she is talking about and will always help you. Only thing: lots of reading, tests were a little unclear, and the online posts were sometimes confusing. But! It did get better towards the end, give it a chance! I really loved this class and she was the main reason for that. Just do the work. :)

Oberman is one of my favorite professors at the U of A. This class has real life personal applications for understanding what spirituality and religion is and how they relate to the world. There are weekly readings but never too long. Do the reading and there's no reason you can't get an A. Only 2 short papers.

Professor Oberman's class, "God, Humanity, and Science," is a highly useful inquiry into the reality in which we think and live. The interactions of several areas of science and religion are discussed extensively. She explains these concepts in a way for students to understand and appreciate them, and is willing to help any student with any matter.

Professor Oberman is one of the greatest professors here at the U. She takes the time to make sure everyone understand the material, although there is a lot of material. There is plenty of readings and weekly quizzes, but they're really not difficult. She also gives out a lot of extra credit

I am not interested in religion at all, yet the content of this class was always at minimum interesting and enjoyable to learn. Prof. Oberman is wonderful! She is relatable, personable, and cares about each student. Engage in the assignments, and you'll get an A. If your work reflects you're attentive to the material, she grades accordingly

Fantastic professor with a wide range of knowledge on the subject matter she is teaching. Encourages class discussion and participation while taking a non-bias view towards what is discussed. She will only interject to clarify information. Very helpful and attentive to student needs.

Dr. Oberman is a wonderful instructor, her class is geared toward your success. The readings are simple and the concepts are interesting. She has a playful sense of humor yet delivers the material through weekly reading summaries and group discussions. There's plenty of extra credit opportunity, but focus and keeping up with the material is key!

one thing I really like about her religions class was how she emphasized that one of the main problems in our culture is how we don't know how to discuss such a sensitive topic. The way she structured the class required a lot of participation from students to express their views and that ensured a better understanding from different backgrounds.

Take it

Dr. Oberman is one of the best professors at the U of A. She cares about the subject she teaches and she's not afraid to thinkwork outside the box. Her lectures and course topics are, get this, actually relevant to our lives and the world we live in. Though the subjects might be challenging she gives plenty of extra credit and is always helpful.

Dr. Oberman is awesome. She knows a lot about the history science and religion and she really gets you to think in new ways. This course was enlightening, learned a lot. I'd like to see more instructors like this. Coursework is challenging sometimes, but she gives plenty of extra credit and helps you get a good grade. I highly recommend the course!

Take. It. Wonderful class, interesting material and lectures. Makes you think. Lots of varied readings rather than one boring, expensive textbook. Only complaints are that lectures sometimes go a bit quickly and the religion aspect of the course focuses heavily on Abrahamic ones; I'd like if it were broader. Dr. Oberman is very intelligent and nice

My second favorite class and professor of all time. There is a ton of reading, but if you're a Phil Major/Minor, it's bearable, and the readings are very interesting. This class discusses the relationship between Science, Philosophy, and mostly Christianity. I recommend this to anyone that is looking for answers to important life questions.

Dr. Oberman expects a lot of her students, but no more than anyone else should. She's always there to help and is happy to clarify. But if you don't want to do the work for the grade, avoid this course and this professor. She expects that if you're paying for college, you're interested in learning the material (*GASP!*).

Professor Oberman's class was really uplifting. Anyone looking for the thought-provoking, self-explorative aspect of both psychology and life would benefit from taking the course. It doesn't require too much investment if that's not what your looking for, but being able to contribute to the greater discussions is awesome.

Everything about Dr. Oberman is great. She is my favorite professor here at the U of A. Everyday she inspires me. The readings are rough, but in the end you learn so much about yourself and the religious community around you.

Cares deeply, encourages students to critically think and has a wide range of expertise in many Philosophical concepts. I encourage people to consider her as a mentor in an independent study or even as a friend. Reading is important. It really is, so do it.

Interesting and sometimes humorous lectures, fair amount of reading but it's well-chosen. This class will definitely provide food for thought regardless of your religious/spiritual beliefs. Dr. Oberman also offers extra credit if you want to explore a related topic and share your thoughts. Would recommend.

Dr. Oberman is the best professor I have taken at the UofA. She made my first study abroad experience, the Honors Trip, amazing and fun! Dr. Oberman combines descriptive lectures with fun activities to keep students engaged throughout of class. 10/10 would take again!!!!

Took this class to satisfy a gen ed requirement and was absolutely blown away. Dr. Oberman is very passionate about the material and the last 1/3 of the class is based on topics of interest to the whole classroom. There's a lot of reading, but it's easy to get a good grade if you show up and listen to lecture. You will learn a lot!

Dr. O is one of my favorite professors as the UofA. Her classes cover diverse and thought-provoking material. You can tell she's an incredibly intelligent woman. There is a lot of reading in her courses, but she usually only tests on what's reiterated in lecture. There's weekly quizzes (difficult) but she offers a ton of extra credit opportunities.

Dr. Oberman is a fantastic teacher full of knowledge and character that draws in students. Her classes are filled with intriguing material that you are fully engaged in, especially during debates. She is very fair in terms of grading and assignments given and students are able to understand material better due to constant interaction in class.

Dr. Oberman was a very intelligent, thought provoking professor. I learned so much and was made to think outside of the box. However, I would not recommend this course to someone who has not taken a previous philosophy/religion course or a course with her. I took this my first semester at UA and found myself a bit overwhelmed. It is upper division.

Dr. Oberman is the most knowledgeable religious studies professor I have ever had. This class covers a lot of material related to philosophy, religion, & science but is never dry. The lectures are extremely relevant and informative, & the class is also manageable. This course is equally great as a gen-ed or for religion and philosophy majors.

Dr. Obermans passion comes through, class after class. Subject matter is super thought provoking, and not the typical memorization game. I will look to attend other courses she teaches...

Loved the professor, TERRIBLE TAs. Lots of information, lectures weren't that useful for test but were good for quizzes and just to learn. Teacher really cares and will work just as hard if not harder than you do. I wish I could take this class again honestly. I got an A but I worked hard for it would've been easier if I worker hard the first month

Her lectures are somewhat boring, but you can easily get an A from her class. She gives many opportunities for extra credits, so if you miss a paper or quiz you can do one of her extra credits and it will cover what grade you lost. But be ready for lots of readings and writing papers every week.

Dr. Oberman is a wonderful professor. Very down to earth and has sense of humor. She aims to teach students the importance of leadership. The class requires extensive reading, so be sure to read, everyday and ask questions. I cannot emphasize that enough. Overall, it is a tough class, but you will learn and quite possibly be inspired as well.

I loved this class! Dr. Oberman is a very friendly, knowledgable, and charismatic teacher- I found her lectures very easy to pay attention to, so it's not hard to grasp the concepts of the class. The only thing that requires work is doing the readings, only 1 essay, and studying for the exams. Otherwise, it's just pure critical thinking

Dr. Oberman is by far the best professor I've had at the University of Arizona! Great class with lots of great reads. If you're studying psychology don't miss out on this course.

Dr. Oberman's class was a fascinating one. You can tell that she's really passionate about her course and it shows in the lectures. There is a bit of reading, but all of it is online and very engaging. Only one essay for the class with three exams (all of which had extra credit options). Use your preceptors and do the readings and you'll be ok!

The class was fun and had interesting guest speakers. It was one of the first philosophy classes I Ihave taken and Professor Oberman does a great job at teaching philosopy to those like me who are just getting into philosophy. The class does require work, but if you do the work you will get an A and their is plenty of extra credit oppurtunities.

Great reading materials. Non-religious and religious students both will like.

This class is fun but has a lot of reading materials so be prepared. There is a ton of extra credit and the preceptors are helpful to those in need, so use them wisely. Don't worry if you do too bad in your first few weeks, because the extra credit will help you catch up easily. Participate in class and ask questions if necessary.

Dr. Oberman is an amazing lecturer and I would recommend this class to anyone. It is exactly what a general education class should be: engaging, fun, and a refreshing break from your other classes. Great discussions, great presentations, and an excellent opportunity to learn something new. There is a lot of reading, but most of it is worth it.

Dr. Oberman cares very much about her students. If you get behind in class, just talk to her and she will find a way to let you make up the work. This class has the most reading ive ever had to do but overall this is a good class to take.

I learned so much through her lectures and the books were interesting to read. The weekly RP's are reflection based and Dr. Oberman will help you any way she can. A lot of extra credit offered and there's small group sections during class with TA's to help you understand too. There are also cool guest lecturers as well. Would take this class again!

LOVED this professor! Every lecture was really interesting and she brought in many guest speakers so we could have a diverse understanding. Really opened up my mind and exposed me to some really great questions. She did have us read from like 6 different books, but just check them out from the library. Lots of extra credit too.

The class is interactive and allows you to discuss some interesting topics like stem cell and free will and how they fit into religion, science, and philosophy.

Dr. Oberman inspires a great deal of passion and interest in both her students and the content material that is presented. The material in this course is very valuable in advancing your education and I highly recommend you take this course! She is an amazing teacher and goes in depth with the material to ensure each student is prepared!

Dr. Oberman is a very enthusiastic Professor about psychology and religion. Sometimes, the weekly readings can be a little dense, but it's good preparation for any psychology student who is about to start taking more upper-division classes, as there is a good amount of Freud covered.

Dr. Oberman is an excellent professor with great respect for her students. Tests and quizzes are heavily based on the readings, and required for a passing grade. She has high expectations, but is perfectly willing to work with students who struggle with the material. One of the most genuine, caring professors at the UA.

Dr. Oberman is the most AMAZING professor you will ever have. Her class is without a doubt challenging, but she provides you with every resource needed to succeed and cares so much about her students. I learned so much throughout her course and despite being in a large lecture, she somehow still made every student feel like they mattered.

This class was hard at first, however, it challenges you to create your own thoughts. The teacher is very passionate about what she teaches. She is very sweet and always cared about the students' thoughts on everything. There were weekly written assignments & lots of reading, but doable. I loved this class and the professor, 10/10 would recommend.

The class is set up as a combination of lecture and discussion. There's a decent amount of reading, but not more than you'd find in these types of classes. Grades consist of two tests, a final exam, weekly quizzes, short critical-response pieces, and one essay. As long as you stay on top of your work, you'll do well in the class. An enjoyable class

I loved her class! She is amazing! There a lot of reading but overall it's great! I took the honors version.

This class was a lot harder than I expected. There were a lot of dense readings that you couldn't get away with not doing. There were weekly papers on these readings, and when we had our term papers we'd have multiple papers due that week. Dr. Oberman is a great professor but the other reviews made this class sound a lot easier than it was.

Dr. Oberman's class was my favorite in college- I had wonderful, insightful discussions with my classmates that led me to think more deeply about medicine and religion and challenge my assumptions. We also had several unique speakers (like a professional hypnotist) who gave me new insight. I feel like this class prepared me for practicing medicine.

This class is super interesting and easy to follow even for someone who hasn't taken psychology before. Sometimes the class was a bit difficult mostly because her instructions could be confusing, but she answered questions easily and was available outside of class for clarification.

Psy/Reli 336 was one of my favorite courses I have taken. There is a decent amount of reading (but very manageable), and they are extremely interesting. Dr. Oberman really cares about and respects her students. There's lots of discussion in the course which makes it perfect opportunity to learn different perspectives. I highly recommend this course

Gotta be one of the best professors at the U of A hands down. She really makes you think after every class. Psychology of religion honestly change my outlook on life in general.

Initially many are weary of class groupings, however this is what makes this class dynamic. Each group has knowledgeable proctors who are engaging in the right way. No pressure when speaking one's mind for it's welcomed. Groups are not enforced the 2nd class during the week. Dr. Oberman is very knowledgeable and it shows which is very motivational

Fantastic professor. Class is structured around engaging readings on a variety of psychological topics. These readings form the basis of assignments and weekly group discussions which always serve to deepen one's understanding. Dr. Oberman is incredibly friendly and helpful. Be prepared for a lot of reading, but it is very worth it.

Dr. Oberman wants you to succeed. The reason this course is hard is because she has high expectations of you. She makes you work your butt off, but shouldn't you be doing that anyways? Invest your mind, not just your money. A lot of work, a lot of extra credit, and a lot of interesting, unforgettable content.

Dr. Oberman is an amazing professor. She truly cares about her student's success. The course itself is extremely interesting. There is some reading involved, but the readings are very intriguing and enjoyable. I strongly recommend Reli 203, especially if you are premed or are interested in going into a medical career in the future.

I really enjoyed this class. Dr. Oberman has a great and easeful way of teaching. She made what otherwise would have been a big lecture class, into a comfortable, participatory setting. She cares a lot about her students and there are many opportunities to make up for low scores through participation. This class will get you thinking.

Dr. Oberman is an excellent professor that is very passionate about the material taught in this course. This class is discussion heavy, and you will get to meet a lot of cool people and hear a lot of diverse perspectives. There is a lot of reading for this course, and you will have to critically reflect on those readings regularly.

If you are interested in philosophy, psychology, and spirituality. This is the class. Do be aware, there is a lot of homework and readings every week, but it's well organized to be able to get through it. A lot of terms and people to remember, but your group (class is set up in big groups), preceptors (for each group), and Oberman help get by.

I can write a small book about how amazing and well set up this class was, Dr. Oberman is an amazing professor and person! Don't expect an easy A, she makes you work for it. My thoughts had built walls and limits to my daily ruminating ideas, and this class knocked down the walls and built doors expanding into new places in my mind. BEST CLASS!!!!

One of the best professors I've worked with. This class isn't what I'd classify as an easy A but she's incredibly helpful, supportive and if you're willing to put in the effort, you won't be disappointed. Took online but will be taking an in-person course with her next semester because of such a great experience with the professor.

Dr. Oberman is one of the best professors I have had so far. Be prepared to do a lot of in-depth reading as the tests are really specific in their answers.

Dr. Oberman is by far one of the best professors at U of A. RELI 203 is not an easy A, but Dr. Oberman does everything she can to make her students feel supported. You'll learn about how different religions have impacted medicine and how both domains have interacted throughout history. Dr. Oberman makes the material enjoyable and relevant!

Reli 203 was great course! There is a lot of reading, but many of the books were really enjoyable, in fact, I'll probably read many of them again. Dr. Oberman is a great professor, by far one of the best professors I have had in my college experience. You will NOT regret taking this course! It's absolutely amazing and definitely interesting!

I believe a class like this should be a mandatory part of higher education. I questioned and learned so much about the universe and myself. I was pushed to be a better writer and critical thinker. The readings are fascinating. I loved this class and felt bonded with my group. You'll have to do a lot of work to get an A, but it's worth it.

Dr. Oberman is a fantastic professor, and I recommend her class to anyone who is looking to think critically. The course is beyond interesting, and Dr. Oberman is wonderful to work with. This course is for students who desire to receive a top tier educational experience, and are willing to put the work in. Don't hesitate to ask her questions.

Professor Oberman cares immensely about all her students and if you really put in the work and communicate with her, you will pass this class with flying colors. There is a lot of reading, but its all very interesting and definitely worth the while! I would absolutely recommend taking this class, especially if you are going into the medical field!

Dr. Oberman is an incredible professor and I loved her RELI 203 class. She has created a great class that made me more excited about pursuing medicine. The material is engaging and thought-provoking, but nothing compares to the dedication she has for her students and our success. One of the best professors I have had at Arizona so far.

Professor Oberman is very understanding, patient and willing to accommodate for her students, especially during difficult times. She is very active with her class and she successfully creates a great environment for students to freely participate and join in with discussion in such a small classroom setting. She is one of best teachers at U of A.

The class does take a bit of effort, but it's very rewarding. Dr. Oberman is very supportive and knowledgeable, and she really fosters an environment where discussion is always open. We cover a lot of complex topics that'll stick with me beyond this class. Don't be afraid to disagree with your classmates or ask questions!

There was a lot to do especially homework wise, but it's all organized well. I don't remember if class was mandatory, but it really helps to be in class, plus you get to professionally give your opinion. It is a lot of reading, so be sure to make time for that but professor Oberman and the preceptors are very helpful. They want you to do well.

This class seems like a lot of work at first, but if you stay on top of assignments and take advantage of the many extra credit opportunities, you should have no problem coming out with an A. If you like writing and discussing different theories you will do very well in this course and it will be a very rewarding experience. Highly recommend!

This class is a precious Oasis along a tough journey in life. It is a reminder that there is more than just literal and concrete, giving an understanding to the mysticism and ambiguity of spirituality and the soul. Dr. Oberman is passionate and brilliant, She is always involved and helpful! This course is a powerful tool in understanding the self.

This class has been one of the most rewarding courses I have taken, the discussions are very thought-provoking and it's a great way to meet/talk to people with different viewpoints to your own. There is a lot of reading, but everything is discussed in class and the preceptors are always available for help. Definitely recommend taking this course!

Dr. Oberman is a wonderful professor who really cares about her students' success. Though this class is far from an easy A, it is definitely worth the extra effort it requires. Flipped classroom setup. If you're up for an interesting class, with LOTS of reading that will really get you thinking, this is the class for you.

Dr. Oberman's course was challenging and inspiring. It is only hard to pass the class if you are unwilling to take interest in the material, participate during class, and have the expectation of getting an Easy A. Dr. O was the greatest professor I have had in college. Be prepared to address questions that challenge your biases. You will love her!

I absolutely LOVED Hester. She was always easy to talk to and very caring. Her class was interesting and engaging. There was a lot of reading and it honestly should be a writing emphasis course, but everything we read and wrote was extremely beneficial. 10/10 would take again!!!!!

Taking this class again. Had to drop last semester due to personal issues. Dr. Oberman was completely understanding and so sweet. This semester her class is SO much easier in terms of reading and quizzes. The readings were LONGER. The quizzes were slightly harder. These little changes actually let you digest the material and make you want to read.

Dr. O is incredibly caring about both you and your grade. The weekly quizzes are challenging but fair and attending office hours helps. This class is reading heavy and your grade depends on it. There is ample opportunity and extra credit to make up points. The critical papers and midterm are fair and Dr. O tries to help as much as possible.

To be very honest, her quizzes are a little hard. But her feedback and her understanding nature really makes feel like working towards this class. NOT AN EASY A, one needs to definitely work on it. If you are a good reader it will be easier for the student the grasp the information. She is so so so kind and understanding. A very different course.

I took this class online and interacted with the teacber rarely, but if you go to her office hours, it's easy to see why she's well respected. She's a gem of a person and really cares about her students. She gave me a chance to come back and even checked in on me when I missed a due date. Readings are fascinating.

I took Dr. Oberman's PSY 336 class and I found it very interesting. There is a lot of reading and the quizzes can be tough, but as long as you do the readings they are easy. I really enjoyed the material and my preceptor was awesome. Dr. Oberman and preceptors are super helpful and really want you do do well. Overall, super cool class!

I took Dr Obermans online Medicine and Religion course, and it was very structured and clear what to do each week. There were outlines of the textbook readings (beware of spelling errors), and discussion assignments helped go over the material before the quiz on Friday. Theres a few short essays and a final term paper, but its really not too bad.

Dr. Oberman's PSYRELI336 course challenges the student to think introspectively and take a critical thinking lens on several complex topics such as obedience, unconscious, and morality. The readings in this class are essential to understanding and succeeding, but they are interesting and not too long. The papers can be overwhelming, JUST REACH OUT!

Dr Oberman is such a gem, and her teaching team is so supportive especially transitioning into an online platform. The readings were provided which helped so much! The discussions were also helpful! The team and Oberman are there to really help out in any way they can so long as you want help. Would definitely take again!

The course is very reading heavy, but all of the readings are very interesting and worth the read. The course work and expectations are clearly laid out int he syllabus. The graders give detailed feedback on all papers on how to improve for the next. Dr. Oberman and the teaching team have worked very hard to adapt to the live online format.

Dr. Oberman is one of the most inspiring professors I have had at the University. There is a lot of reading, but it is critical in understanding and analyzing the course content. Dr. Oberman and the rest of the teaching team were very helpful for answering questions. I recommend if you are ready to dive deep and work hard!

Dr. Oberman is a awesome teacher. She lays a great foundation for anybody interested in psychology. I learned more about the foundation of psychology than I learned in any foundational class as well as getting a great understanding of psychology of religion. I feel better prepared for my future after taking her class.

Dr. Oberman is a wonderful lady who genuinely cares about the well-being & education of her students. The content in the class is very dense challenging, but mind opening & rewarding. This class helped me interconnect many metaphysical ideas that will help me with research in the long run. She gives good constructive criticism & extra credit boost!

I did a study abroad trip with this prof a few years back and loved her! All the RELI 203 info is posted before the first day of class so a lot of the work is go-at-your-own-pace. Every week there are discussion posts to see others perspectives on the material. She also does zoom office hours weekly to review and help us workshop ideas for papers.

Overall, a great and interesting class with moderate reading requirements each week as well as discussion posts, short essays, a midterm, and a final paper. The professor provides detailed and helpful feedback and provides ample extra credit throughout the semester. Also, the professor is willing and helpful in negotiating honors contracts.

Dr. Oberman was very understanding when it came to personal issues that interfered with class. She also facilitated a very interesting and fun Honors Contract experience by creating a cohort and meeting times to help all of us contracting the class work on our research papers.

Throughout the years of my studies at the UofA, this class was a special. A little more than the usual reading load, but much of it was insightful. Small discussion group layout, so reading is important before coming in. The instructor was great and much enthusiastic in her work. Give her the respect and honesty, she & the TAs will be helpful.

Great class. You learn a lot about others and how others view the world. We were all heavily encouraged to participate. I felt most connected to my classmates in this class.

Dr. Oberman is hands down one of my favorite professors at UA. She has everything on D2L organized and is always willing to meet with students via Zoom. There is a fair amount of reading in this class, but the material is interesting/fascinating. There are weekly discussion posts and 4 short papers and a research paper that serves as the final.

Dr Oberman is a great professor! There is a lot of reading, and all of the quizzes/test questions ask more of the smaller concepts (not tested on big picture info that much). Stay on top of the weekly readings and complete every extra credit opportunity that she offers!

The teacher is nice & responds quickly to emails. The work is a whole different level of difficulty with daily close reading quizzes, 400+ word papers multiple times a week plus multiple responses per posting. It's a ton of work so it feels more like a race to the finish line instead of trying to actually grasp the concepts in a concrete manner.

Dr. Oberman is a wonderful teacher who pushes students to reach their potential. She is understanding and kind, but is able to still maintain discipline. The small discussions are helpful in developing an understanding of what was read. They beat the usual boring discussion posts that are so often required in online courses.

This is the second class I have taken with Dr. O and it is great. The course material is really interesting and I enjoy the readings. There is a lot of homework, including weekly readings, discussions, and short quizzes, but that gives a lot of opportunity to help with grades. Dr. O is an amazing professor who genuinely wants you to do well!

The homework is doable and there is a lot of reading for this class. You do need two books at least. The professor is very understanding and will work with you to get a better grade in the class if your are not doing well. Also her quizzes are easy if you do the reading. I really liked her class and would take it again. There is also extra credit

Dr. Oberman has been one of my fave professors at this school. She is so passionate about what she teaches and she's super helpful. She responds to emails super quickly and gives really good feedback. As long as you stay on top of the few readings per week and assignments/discussion posts this class is not hard to succeed in.

Great class and professor, her passion made me want to continue!

A wonderful professor that cares a lot for her students! The class itself is reading-intensive but as long as you pay some attention to the readings as well as the group discussions that are based on those readings then the quizzes and papers aren't that hard at all. Great class, would take it again! Reach out if you need help and they will help!

Take RELI 203! You have to buy a couple of books for the class and ACTUALLY READ them, get kindle. The plus side is that the books are actually interesting, especially to people who are pursuing a degree in medicine. There were discussion posts and quizzes every week, four mini papers throughout the semester, two midterms, and one final paper.

I highly recommend taking this class. It was amazing to connect with others and expand our own beliefs and knowledge about others! There is a good amount of reading but it truly helps you better understand the foundations of psychology and important psychologists in a way that naturally transfers to other psychology courses.

Dr. Oberman is a great professor and this class was very unique. The course set up on D2L was a bit disorganized, but got worked on. It is reading heavy, so if you are not willing to read this class isnt for you. However, as long as you apply yourself, you will be able to learn a lot you wouldnt in other psychology classes, and do very well.

Dr. Oberman is the goat. She is very accommodating to students varying needs.

She teaches well. Only take this course if you are okay with reading at least two readings a week. It is a pretty easy class but if you do not like talking to people, this may not be for you. You meet in a group weekly and talk about the readings. She is on and off about responding to emails. Good luck!

This class is super interesting and very manageable -- weekly reading and lectures that will take a few hours, but you only meet once a week for class. Weekly quizzes, no tests, and practice papers. One of my favorite classes I've taken , definitely highly recommend !

Dr. Oberman is one of the best professors I have had, she cares about her students opinions and it shows through her grading and her emails, if you love to read then this class is for you, weekly readings that avg 20-25 Pages but if you can manage it then I wouldn't recommend anyone else. She loves her work and you can tell. Would recommend!

I've taken two classes with Dr. Oberman and she is outstanding! Extremely knowledgeable on the subject matter and thrives in lecture/discussion based environments. Lots of reading for RELI203 and quizzes are difficult but she gives you all the tools needed to succeed and grades fairly. Cares immensely about her students and it's extremely apparent.

Dr. Oberman is a great professor, but there is a pretty substantial amount of reading every week. Responds super quickly to emails and is really nice, grading does get more difficult over the semester. Overall recommend if you have the time to put into the course!

If you follow instructions and complete what is required, you will do well. Reading intensive and complex concept heavy course, however, all the resources you need are given to you. Dr. Oberman is also extremely nice and responds quickly. Overall, do the work and you'll be fine.

Dr. Oberman is an amazing professor and if you show up to class and utilize the materials you are provided you should do well in the course. She also gives quite a bit of extra credit so even if quizzes are hard you can salvage your grade.

Dr. Oberman is super personable and has her class structured to where students lead discussions in a laid-back environment. This class is interesting, and the only difficult part is the quizzes, but Dr. Oberman offers plenty of extra credit opportunities! Overall, I would totally recommend this class and any others of hers!

Dr. Oberman is one of the best professors at the University of Arizona. She is very kind, understanding, patient, and very passionate about her lectures. Make the effort, show up, and you should have no problem! I definitely recommend this course to anyone.

Dr. Oberman was a great professor. She is an engaging lecturer and very accessible for questions. The material is difficult and meant to make you think, but the discussions with the preceptors and other students made it manageable. The quizzes are hard, but you can do well in the class without doing well on the quizzes. There is extra credit.

This online class was a lot of reading, but Dr. Oberman was very accessible for questions. She gives extra credit, and you can do well in the class without doing well on the quizzes.

Dr. Oberman is a great professor who I would recommend to anyone that likes religion and or psychology. She loves the content that she is teaching, and it carries over to the students to enjoy the content as well. The material of the class I took was fascinating, however it was not a walk in the park class so be mindful before entering the class.

I would recommend taking this course, especially if you are looking for Honors credit. For the Honors section you attend a weekly zoom discussion and it is so helpful to have prior to completing the papers and discussion posts. I enjoy the book by Gawande much more than the Ferngren one. Hester is great and is passionate about the course.

Dr. Oberman is such a wonderful professor! She is very knowledgeable in both religion and psychology and you can tell she has a passion for teaching her students. This class has a lot of reading and it gets tougher as the class progresses, but I've enjoyed every bit of it. It's also a great way to earn honors credit if you need it.

The best class my whole college career.

Dr. Oberman is the sweetest professor. However, her assignments are challenging. With that being said, if you go to office hours and put in the work you will get a good grade! Very interesting material!

One of my favorite classes. Don't be afraid that it is an upper division honors class. Dr Oberman is one if not the best professors here and she truly cares for her students. Read the readings, be prepared for each class, and follow directions and you will do well. Be prepared to review your assumptions and change how you perceive history.

I loved the lectures and readings. You work for the grade you get and learn so much along the way. Every 3 semester after being in the class I still think of its concepts almost every day. My favorite part is that you could be critical of any reading as long as you explained yourself. Dr O is one of the best profs here

I took this class for the HHV minor at U of A, and loved it. My discussion group was amazing- my preceptor was super chill and we had a lot of interesting discussions. The quizzes are difficult, but everything else is easy. The way the quizzes are structured will help prep for the MCAT/any postgrad entry exam you need to take. Oberman is great!

She is very eager to teach and help. She wants you to think for yourself and make your own arguments. Her classes do require effort and readings are heavy but it is worth it. She makes it easy to improve your grade with lots of extra credit opportunities and is open to feedback about the course.

Dr. Oberman surprised me when multiple times throughout the year she genuinely wanted to hear our opinions as students and the future of healthcare. She wants you to be able to form opinions and defend them and she values creativity and strong critical thinking.

Dr Oberman is one of the best professors I've had at the UA if not the best. She's extremely passionate about what she teaches as the class itself is very interesting. The work is by no means super difficult but very engaging and genuinely fascinating. If you're considering taking this class I'd 100% recommend it.

Professor Oberman was an amazing professor that I would absolutely take again and actually plan to. If you're required to go to the review sections absolutely do the readings because participation is everything. The quizzes are very specific and have answers that could be completely right with one thing wrong so pay attention to all the options.

Professor Oberman cares a lot about helping students succeed within her class! Putting effort into reading, writing, and studying will earn you an A in her class. She is always willing to help out students that need it, so if you ever feel unsure about a quiz or paper you can always contact her to schedule office hours or simply email. Great class!

I love HHV, and Dr Oberman adds so much to the minor. Will def help any premed. Very caring and understanding.

The course materials used are super interesting for anyone wanting to learn about the use of medicine in other religions. Quizzes are very specific, so be ready and read the weekly materials. Dr. Oberman is super helpful and always replies back quite quickly. There are extra credit opportunities as well to boost quiz grades.

Wonderful Professor, wonderful lecture, and wonderful grading criteria.

Professor Oberman is a really caring and involved professor. She wants everyone to do their best and offers many extra credit opportunities throughout the class. The material was thought provoking and is meant for deep discussions diving into the readings. I met so many awesome people in this class and I recommend it to anyone of any major!

Great class and it was very interesting. Lots of reading but easy as long as you do them.

I loved the teaching style of Dr. Oberman in her lectures. She gives you many chances to succeed and if you put the work into the reading and discussion groups in this course you will get a good grade. Extremely interesting topics were discussed, and a supportive teaching team assisted with understanding the texts. Take this class if you love psy!

This is a fantastic course! Definitely be prepared to put in the work, but it is very valuable! Dr. Oberman is incredibly intelligent and lectures in an engaging, humorous, accessible manner that makes the content truly connect. Theres good deal of reading, this is NOT a slack off course. That said, do your work and you will succeed for sure!

Dr. O is an excellent professor. She is extremely accessible outside of class & is willing to help you succeed if you reach out. Personally, I think the quizzes are hard but, the extra credit helps boost grades immensely. Whenever I have reached out to Dr. O for help and she has always been very kind and helpful with everything. Very sweet person.

i loved dr oberman. she was super caring and accommodating. she does attendance as a grade which is annoying but understandable. class is discussion based, readings are long. she's an easy grader, dr. braitberg is the harsh grader.

One of my favorite professors and courses at UA. Dr. Oberman is enthusiastic about the subject; her passion is clear in her lectures. She genuinely cares about her students. The readings may seem overwhelming at first, but the teaching team is there to help. This class encourages critical thinking, so putting in the effort is essential to succeed!

Dr. Oberman gives a wealth of perspectives and knowledge throughout the course. The readings may seem challenging, but if you have any questions she is more than happy to either help out or have one of the TAs assist with course content. Dr. Oberman is quicker to respond to emails than any other professor I have had, which alone is a 5/5 for me.

Professor Oberman is an excellent instructor who genuinely cares about student success. The quizzes are detailed, but the extra credit opportunities and her willingness to help make this a manageable and rewarding class. Unstuck ai was a great study aid alongside the course materials.

Dr. Oberman is someone who clearly has a lot of passion in the topics she is teaching. There was certainly a lot of reading, but by ensuring I set time away to read I was able to stay on pace with the course. Attending class to discuss the reading also helped with my understanding. Come into the class with a critical mind, and you will enjoy it!

MUST-TAKE for any psych major or minor! Dr. O's class is clear, with consistent due dates & a unique format: lecture + small groups with preceptors. Her passion for teaching is unmatched. The material is fascinating—worldview, morals, psychosis, psychedelics. It's the kind of class you never stop thinking about. Take it, you won't regret it!

Dr. Oberman is extremely approachable and kind! You can tell she wants her students to succeed. The class meets once a week which was very manageable. The work wasn't difficult but be prepared to spend time reading before each weeks discussion. I loved the content. I'd take the class again if I could - my favorite class in college so far! Sign up!

Dr. Oberman is a great professor who is very knowledgeable in her field and, because of this, gives very informative lectures. I really enjoyed the class's group discussion layout because it allowed me to discuss what confused me about the readings. Overall this is a great class if you want to learn more about spirituality and morality.

Great professor, a couple books to read through for her class though. CPs are relatively easy, and the research paper was fun and interesting. Writing dominant class but great concepts and connections being made.

Professor Oberman created a well-organized and comprehensive curriculum using only a few sources. There were no video/zoom lectures and most feedback came from her TA's, but she did create some great PowerPoints and assignments (mostly weekly discussion posts, along with a few papers). I recommend her class to anyone interested in the subject.

This class was very different to what I'm used to. You have a lecture and then you break out into discussion groups which helps you understand the readings more. There is A LOT of reading to do for this course, but overall the papers and quizzes are not super hard and she is very understanding. I would recommend.

Overall, a great experience with very interesting subject matter. Sure, there's a lot of reading, but the readings are interesting. The discussion groups were my favorite part as a student and preceptor. Dr Oberman truly cares about each of the students taking the class, and her European humor is always a plus.

This is a very interesting class with a variety of readings from different authors and perspectives. Dr. Oberman is very communicative, caring and knowledgeable. There are a lot of interesting and easy to do extra credit opportunities. I had no issues taking this class and really enjoyed it as well as the professor!

I thoroughly enjoyed this class a lot. She went over topics on different religions, including atheism. However attendance is definitely mandatory since we meet once a week. Every week we have a reading and readings can range between 5-15 pages; So be prepared to read and there are no quizlets for any of her tests. Highly recommend taking her class!

Had a once a once-a-week hybrid class. Oberman was very enthusiastic, and the class was well organized. Half lecture, half small groups, and the preceptors lead them. There are weekly quizzes, readings, and 3 essays (one is the final). The quizzes are tough, but you improve over time. Overall, a really interesting class and fun content.

Genuinely, could've gotten a better grade if I kept better communication with Professor Oberman. (i was sick for a month straight, and stupidly didn't contact any of my professors) Professor Oberman's class is quite easy, as long as you do the readings and take some notes, you'll have a peaceful time.

Dr. Oberman is a super fun professor willing to give out extra credit. If you have been in her 336 class you know she likes group discussions, presentations, and a lot of reading, so be prepared for more of that. This class is less organized that 336, but has the potential if students are more involved.

Would definitely recommend if you're at all interested in learning more about religion. Professor Oberman does a good job at offering a lot of different perspectives on the harms and benefits of it. There are weekly readings that can be very long, and the grading for essays can be a bit difficult, but other than that, I really enjoyed this class.

So sweet and approachable and eager to discuss the class content. As long as you do the work diligently and try you will be 100% fine

She is a really interesting person and is knowledgeable about the topics. We did half large lecture, then small groups of about 10. You read, then show up to discuss. The weekly quizzes are graded harshly, but they aren't impossible to learn how to do correctly. There were also 2 presentations (in groups) and 3 papers, all pretty easy points.

I loved Professor Oberman! I was honestly a bit intimidated by her but once you get to know her she is a very nice and funny person. This class was not what I expected it to be but it was fun nonetheless. But take the reading seriously! There's a lot to do each week!

This class was great and had clear expectations for students. Reading is required but never cumbersome unless you try to cram it right before class. Dr. Oberman and the preceptors will always help you with content, grades, and other concerns if you ask them!

Oberman delivers the most intellectually engaging course I've ever taken. Her takeaways stay with you long after class ends and she has a witty clarity that makes interdisciplinary ideas about psychology feel vivid. She also has a strong preceptor team to facilitate discussions and activities to further reinforce concepts applicable to real life.

Dr. Oberman is a lovely person and an amazing lecturer. This course really inspired me; out of all of the classes I've taken (sophomore here), Dr. Oberman's class has been my favorite. The structure of small group discussion and lecture is really effective.

A thoughtful, intellectually coherent course with clear conceptual flow. The readings are heavy but genuinely meaningful, and Professor Oberman is engaging and funny. The flipped-classroom format encourages real thinking without pressure

Dr. Oberman is a wonderful professor and lecturer. She always captures my attention and helps me stay intrigued with the material. Overall the class was very interesting. Preceptoring for her class has also been a great opportunity and experience!

Dr. Oberman was a fantastic professor and very knowledgeable. I genuinely enjoyed every time she lectured because she is very wise and funny. I would love to have her lecture the entire time. Overall, the class had a lot of reading and assignments. So don't take this class if you don't want to read a lot or write many reports.

Phil 326 is an excellent upper division class that I highly recommend if you interested in philosophy. The topics vary each week as we talk about Aristotle, A.I., and Kant. As long as you do the readings and homework this should be a smooth class to take.

I've taken this class with Dr Oberman, and worked with her as a preceptor for this same class. I found her to be very knowledgeable and passionate about the topic and that comes across in her lectures. The class is very interesting and the group discussion format was a surprising upside.

Good variety of material! best part is the discussions the class has together.
