I highly recommend instructor. Good with classsroom time. Class can be passed without book. Instructor always on time. She makes class interesting. I received an A.
Great professor! I highly recommend her! She makes it so you will look forward to going to class. Very funny and never keeps you the whole time! She is great! It;s so easy to pass... I got me my "A"
She was an amazing professor. I normally do not rate professors but I thought she did such an awesome job that I would spread the word. I recommend her to my friends as well. The class was interesting and she knows her stuff. She doesn't just read off notes or out of the book. She was great! Very helpful and always there to listen and offer advice
Great Professor! She is very helpful and makes class interesting. I took her over the summer, and I wish I had taken the class over a longer semester because I enjoyed her class. She is upbeat with a great sense of humor.
Ms. Loftus was great!!! She made me want to attend class every Sat. morning (which is not an easy task mind you..) & I learned plenty about religions that I would've never known before, as my own beliefs were challenged simultaneously. I heavily recommend her class as she is always super funny and laidback.
Best teacher ever
Great teacher. If you're not interested in religions when you first walk into the class, you will be. She makes it fun and interesting. Her lectures are awsome. Never keeps you until the last minute of class. You really have to try hard to fail this class. Highly recommend her. She rocks!
Great teacher. Very knowledgeable on her subject. Makes learning easy. You will look forward to class. She Rocks.
Prof. Loftus is extremely easy going. Class is all lecture but not boring at all, she's very upbeat and engaging. She genuinely enjoys her job and it shows. Really enjoyed this class!
EASYYYYY! i recommend everyone to take this class as an easy humnaity credit. Easy quizes directly out of the book.and midterma and final directly out of the quizes. there are two projects (writing assignments) but very easy. No way you can fail. TAKE!
I took her class online. Easy A. If you can get her online, it'll be the best way to bring up your GPA!
Excellent teacher.Make lecture fun and interesting. Any one who takes her will not be disappointed.Just study her powerpoints and its a guaranteed A!!
really great teacher. loved her. i missed alot of assignments and she still passed me. very understanding would take her again <33333333
VERY GOOD TEACHER, MAKES THE CLASS QUITE INTERESTING. WOULD RECOMMEND HER TO ANY STUDENT. SHE TRIES HER BEST FOR YOU TO EXCELL.
She is so nice.The assignments are helpful and easy. The quizzes and exams are very similar. Interesting class and easy A. TAKE HER!!
EASY A ! .. Great teacher .. Easy assignments.. She's fun and energetic . Class only runs about an hour - hour and a half each session . She tries hard to get you to understand the material .
This is a great class to take with other classes that have a heavy work load. This class is interesting and an easy A. I took it online and had no problems. Would recommend this class to everyone!
All tests can be retaken up to 3 times and its still the same questions. discussions are easy, you must be very active. The assignments are interesting. However, for the essays and assignments she does not justify the grades, and instructions are very general. If youre not carful youll get a B.
BEST TEACHER EVER!!!!Great personality, great enthusiasm of teaching the subject..If you have to take a humanities course, she is the one to take it with..Can you guess her religion??
Awesome! All tests & quizes were online--Lecture in person. She is very entertaining and makes learning about religion interesting. Loves to show Simpson's episodes as examples. Easy A++++ :)
Great teacher. Answers any and all questions you have. Shows the occasional 'Simpsons' and 'Futurama' episodes. Quizzes, Tests, paper.. alll easy. Can't go wrong with this prof, seriously. Basically if you haven't picked up on what everyone else has written so far then you don't deserve to take her class, lol.
This has to be one the best and coolest instructors I have ever taken. Her exams are super easy and that goes for the quizzes too. No worries. We watched a few Simpson episodes that were not only funny, but tied in well with her topics. I would definitely take her class. Super Instructor!
Just take her!
Awesome teacher. Super easy, funny and interesting. She makes the class interactive so you're always interested. She answers all your questions and is understanding if you are having a problem in class. Very cool teacher and easy class.
I am not into religion but I needed a humanities credit so I took this class online. SUPER EASY!!! The professor is nice and grades everything fast so you know your grade..
Prof. Lotus is a funny prof. She really loves to talk about the different religions. She does a lot of powerpoints, so take good notes and listen to what she says. Super easy class, had a ball in her class.
I took the online class. It was great! Any questions I had were answered right away. The class is interesting and easy mixed with the right amount of challenging that makes you feel good about yourself when you're done, because you got it right! Highly recommended for ANYONE! Awesome class!
ONLINE COURSE It is very difficult to get clarity on any assignments because you are limited to email communication. This professor does not accept phone calls. If you have any urgent questions, make sure you keep in mind it make take a few days for her to reply.Once she replied it was helpful but still a lot of confusion at times.
On line course is an Easy A if you do the work. All of quizzes, with 2 chances to try. (she drops lowest score on quizzes and discussion)4 exams (one try) and 2 papers. Take the on line course, there was no stress and you can finish and do the whole term early.I enjoyed the discussions.book needed for sure!
On line course makes it easy for you to get an A if you do the work. All of quizzes, with 2 chances to try. (she drops lowest score on quizzes and discussion)4 exams (one try) and 2 papers. She is fair and will hep with whatever you need her to.
I am taking her online course. She does not respond her emails very quickly and when she finally does her response doesn't always answer my question completely. You have to read the book to do well on the tests and quizzes. The discussions are super easy. Shes okay.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TAKING THIS CLASS ONLINE! Overlapping deadlines for quizzes and discussions. 7 quizzes + Mid+Final exam, all multiple choice. Drops lowest scoring quiz. 2 attempts for each quiz with a large time limit. Most quizzes have 10 questions or less. Hardest part is writing a 7 page research paper. Easy A with reasonable workload.
Ms. Loftus is AMAZING!!! She makes the class interesting even if its online. She gives you second chances on your quizzes and you have one mid term chapters 1-4 and final 5-8!! EASY A!! Discussions are fun! Interesting CLASS!! I recommend for a humanities course :)
THE BOOK WAS A HARD AND SOMEWHAT BORING READ, BUT THE PROFESSOR WAS GOOD. SHE GIVES YOU 2 CHANCES FOR QUIZZES AND THE EXAMS ARE ALMOST IDENTICAL TO THE QUIZZES WITH A FEW QUESTIONS DIFFERENT.
SHE'S THE BEST, EASY QUIZZES (2 TRIES EACH; MULTIPLE CHOICE, CREATIVE DISCUSSIONS, EASY PAPER (7-9 PAGES), AND EASY FINAL & MID-TERM (MULTIPLE CHOICE). THE BOOK CAN BE DOWNLOADED FOR FREE ONLINE. SHE'S NOT A VERY HARD GRADER AND SHE'S VERY CLEAR AND HELPFUL ON INSTRUCTIONS. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND, I RECEIVED A 100% A+
Slacked off for first two weeks. She was very helpful in helping me catch up. Extremely easy. I got a 100%.
She is great really helps you get a good grade. The work is super easy and very minimal. I like an entire month of the online class but she let me redo all my assignments so I could pass the class. Take her!
This has to be by far the worst professor I have ever taken in the many years I have been going to college she is always late on responding to emails her grading system is ridiculous she expects you to just know some assignments without even putting it on the calendar where all the assignments should be if you want to actually learn I say pass
Definitely not an easy A - she makes you work for it. You must read the chapters in the book to understand what her lectures are about.
She was very easy towards the ends and bumped grades up ,however her lectures were confusing and she talked in circles,also she is not very organized but she's not hard grader
I passed really easily. I missed more than half of the classes for a summer camp and still wound up with an A. The last test we took was considered the "final" and I didn't even do the research paper assignment. Not the best teacher but does decent, is really laid back and shows a lot of Futurama for fun, I'd definitely take it again.
This class and her explanation of everything is so interesting. It's impossible to lose focus and be bored. She's awesome!
She's a great teacher - I don't know about her online classes but in person at least, I think she is phenomenal. She is completely unbiased when she goes over each religion and actually makes them pretty interesting to learn about. Class was easy and she's an easy grader. Highly recommend this teacher. I literally ended up with a 100% final grade
Very good teacher, she's funny and she's not very hard and She understand if you are going through bad time.
Amazing Professor, I would take her all over again! She's an excellent religion professor.. She knows her stuff! Go to class, particulate and your good!
She is a great teacher that really knows her stuff. She is very funny and make religion sound very interesting and breaks it down perfectly for us to understand. Tests are easy and online and she also had a couple of discussions. You have to try really hard to not get an A
Prof. Loftus is very clear with you on Day 1 what is expected in order to pass her class. Her lectures were funny & she is understanding with time management when quizzes/tests are due. She's flexible, although a little forgetful with opening quizzes online but she gives you extra time to complete them so one can't complain. Would take her again!
Great teacher! Learned a lot about Religion. She made everything really interesting and non biased.
Such an easy honors class to take! All you have to do is show up and take notes. The assignments are done online and the answers are given to you by checking the "Check my work" button. There is only one paper in this course which is 2-3 pages and a short response for each assignment. Overall definitely take her.
IF YOU WANT AN EASY "A" TAKE HER CLASS!!!
Honestly, Professor Loftus is one of the best professors I have ever taken! Although this is my first humanities class, I really enjoyed it! I took a blended class, so I did most of the reading on my own though an online portal. The quizzes covered the reading material. There was also a paper due in the end of class. Highly recommend taking her!!!
If you take her online, get ready to write a million papers that never get graded, stay confused due to no study materials, teach yourself (because she has nothing useful in her very short learning modules), etc. Lots of pointless discussion board posts too. She is also very rude and apathetic. Stay away!!!!!
Professor Loftus is a complete mess. Not only did she ignore multiple (important) emails from both myself and my classmates, but she took forever to grade simple assignments and open up the last modules. If you are going to be taking REL2300 online, be prepared to work on your own with zero help from the professor. Textbook is used here as well...
Such an easy HONOR class!!!!!!
She's very spontaneous, but she teaches material very well. If you're a student who likes a schedule, shes not for you, but in all, she was an easy A, and id retake her If I could
It was an easy A; however, she does not follow the syllabus. Assignments were given on a weekly basis. We had no idea what we were going to do next and she assigned the most work the week before finals. Overall not a bad teacher but unorganized.
Professor Loftus really was unorganized in her class. She has an easy class but will not get back to you on emails. If you can't deal with that, I don't recommend her. Overall ok class
Although she is pretty unorganized, I think her lectures are good. She isn't boring, she gets to the point, and explains things pretty well. She reads from the book and uses slides but adds her touch to it. She likes making jokes and has lots of energy which helps sometimes. I'm not interested in the arts but her joking makes it easier to bare.
I just started the class but I love her already. She is very enthusiastic and engaging, really cares, and makes the class a lot interesting. The assignments are very clear and she tells you in class what is due and she accepts questions about anything. She responds to emails always and tells you everything u need to know. Take her!!!!!!!!!!!
Really nice
DO NOT take this teacher for HUM1020. She never responds to emails ever even after she tells you to email her. she makes you do 7 chapters of constant reading and journals in pearson only opened for a week. she never put the pearson grades in. she also gives two 6 page essays due one day after. she is super messy with grading, worst teacher.
Her class is an easy A if you do the discussions and the very few quizzes. she is super chill and gets to the point. she is also very fun and energetic. some might say she is a little all over the place, but if you know what assignments are due you should be good. she is also very lenient. I'd take her again if i had to.
Overall good profs. Very knowledgeable on class material. Be ready to purchase textbook & read it for tests.
Sooo disorganized, you will never know what is she going to add to the syllabus plus she does not follow it. It is an easy A tho.
Everyone was confused the whole time because of the professors lack of organization and the messy and inaccurate syllabus. The overall experience was not the best and I thought the content could have been taught in a deeper way but Professor Loftus is nice and graded everything fairly so I cant complain!
The class itself was not hard as I had no idea what I was doing and still got a B. The problem is that she is very disorganized with the assignments and she would never give clear instructions on what you actually have to do. Only take her if she is your only option.
I am not exaggerating when I say this was the WORST professor I have EVER had. Loftus was so disorganized. Very vague with her teaching. Barely showed up. Only taught us 4 out of 7 units and would cancel on us to help other classes she was also behind with. We were always confused as to what was due. Always sick/had an emergency. DO NOT TAKE HER.
So... she's beyond disorganized and we never really knew what was due or what was being taught. She seems chaotic but chill at the same time. Easy A, never knew what was going on but I did what was available and got an A. Wouldn't take her again because it was a little stressful not knowing what our assignments were for the week.
I had no idea what was going on. She canceled class all the time. Super unorganized with assignments and didnt answer emails. She will open assignments again, extend them or just drop them. I did almost all the assignments and passed all tests but ended with a C because she dropped the grades on the assignment I did but left up the ones I didnt.
The presence of Professor Loftus was incredibly comforting. When she opened her mouth in class, I instantly felt at ease despite my initial nervousness. She will crack wonderful jokes throughout the entire lesson. I recommend.
She is a bit disorganized so you have to stay on top of stuff. She also doesn't teach that much, and she will have you write reflexion papers, when in reality you didn't really learn much so you will have to make it up. Good thing is that is kind of an easy grader
A mess. That is what she is. I had an A in her .class and i did not know what was going on most of the time. And I mean this in a bad way. She is so disorganized. Her assignments and D2l is all over the place and aren't clear about assignments at all. Book and her lectures are practically useless. Run away.
Easy grader. Do the work, get an A. But if you're a serious humanities major, do not take her class. We barely covered the supposed work in the syllabus. It seemed like she knew a lot about the subject (when I met her only once in class for the whole session). But she was disorganized and had a bad work ethic.
Great professor, easy work and funny and nice LOL. Trust me take this class for an easy A.
She was great at first and graded normally until the last two weeks where she gave me a 0 on an assignment I turned in and gave me feedback on it. I tried to fix it but the assignment disappeared but the 0 was still there and I couldn't reach her for the next two weeks and I had to basically annoy her to change the grade bc I was failing.
The most unorganized and lazy professor I've ever taken. On the off chance you actually you are a humanities major don't touch this professor with a 10 foot pole. If you're not this class is a gpa booster.
Prof Loftus is very much laid back. She's nice but if you care to learn about humanities maybe avoid her but I just wanted to satisfy my humanities requirement so did not mind how easy this class was. Do the work and you'll for sure get a A. Would def recommend especially if you have more challenging courses in the semester like I did.
I took two religion classes with professor Loftus about 23 years ago. I loved her classes. I was actually sitting in her class when the twin towers got hit on 9/11. I still think about her class, all these years later.
Professor Loftus is a great professor who is kind, funny and respectful. She is easy-going and will give you an extension on an assignment if you need it. I would definitely take her again!
Amazing professor, her lectures were entertaining and was mainly video based instead of using the textbook. Was discussion heavy and the final project may take some time, but she is very helpful. Attendance isn't mandatory but I wouldn't recommend skipping cause she goes over instructions for future assignments. Would def take her again tbh.
She is extremely disorganized. You won't learn nothing at all about Humanities. It is an easy class, but you never know what is due and when. Everything is just very confusing and you never learn well.
Unprofessional, lazy, and unorganized. She gives a discussion and reflection paper for every Unit even though she didn't teach you anything in class so you have to teach yourself but also aren't allowed to do outside research for assignments.The final project/assignment is near impossible. Stay away from this teacher at all cost.
Unorganized. Impossible to get in touch outside of class. Doesn't grade assignments until the last day of the semester. Doesn't teach. Cancels class most days or makes you come in for 5 minutes and then leaves. Walked out of my class the first day to get a smoothie when she had already come in late. Assignments have no due dates. STAY AWAY!
She picks on students, she is always late and says it's for traffic or something. Curses a lot during lectures and very rude she acts like she's a high school teacher... I would definitely not recommend taking this class pick someone else. Shes very passive aggressive as well... terrible
Really.. mid. If you get in A in her class it's cause you cheated or paid A LOT of attention to her lecture. She requires you to pay attention and she'll call you out if you're not actively listening. But if you're interested in getting the credit I'd recommend a blended. Sometimes she'll just cancel class but the assignments are long.
Shes very funny and kind!
Good professor, not a lot of homework, but pretty long textbook assignments, especially for those taking 6 week classes. The lectures were ok, just pay attention, try to take notes, and do the online readings, the rest came pretty easy at least to me.
