She is a good teacher, but her classes can be kind of boring. Her tests are really hard so you have to study alot for those but luckily she has given us study outlines with terms. Has random participations so make friends in the class so you know when to come and when not to.

Professor Viau was an amazing teacher this semester. Her class wasnt too difficult as long as you showed up and payed attention, the book isnt mandatory but will make the tests a little easier. I only used it to study for one test and still got A's on the others. She is very helpful. Probably the easiest gordon rule class out there. Take the class!

You can tell she is passionate about the topic and that she really cares about the students. The exams are tough but she gives good study guides.

3 (1-3 paragraph) papers on a topic you pick at the beginning. Attendance not mandatory but recommended for class participation points every now and then. 2 extra credit assignments (2% each) that were super easy. 3 tests total that she gives you study guides for- not too difficult at all. Overall I studied average for tests. She's very passionate.

Very passionate about the topic, and seems to be unbiased about all of the religions she talks about. The movies we had to watch for the class were pretty interesting, and there are a few participation assignments related to them in class. Overall good, but pretty tough professor.

Clear grading criteria. Expects a lot from students, including a lot of reading. However, it's possible to get good grades without, as I got a B+ having never cracked the book. You can learn a lot with relatively little effort and it's rather interesting in my opinion.

Overall she's a great professor, she's so passionate, it makes her classes much more interesting. Love how she uses historical situations and relates them to modern times, really made the information more bearable. Her tests are easy, and she will give out answers and study guides beforehand. 1 paper for the whole semester. Would recommend.

She was the most enthusiastic professor I have ever had. There is only one essay for this class. She will make sure you understand the material before an exam, giving helpful study guides and reviewing it the class before. The study guides are literally all the questions that will be on the exam, no excess info.

The course was a little scary at first because there was a lot of reading. As time went on, the reading subsided and the class became more relevant and interesting. Professor Viau is really nice and loves what she teaches. I would definitely take this class again. Come to class, participation counts as part of your grade. You need the book.

Dr. Viau is by far one of the best professors I have had in a long time. I took her Humanities I class, and I would gladly take it again. Make sure you go to class, as participation and attendance are necessary. She assigns one big paper, but gives you lots of time to work on it. 3 Tests, non cumulative, no final. Easy A, as long as you work hard.

Dr. Viau is an angel and if you have the chance to take her course, do it. She also does not take any misogynistic bs which is absolutely stellar.

Viau is a great professor overall. She is really nice and has such a passionate character when she's lecturing. She gives a study guide for her exams so they're not that hard. She counts participation in the class through attendance so make sure to go to class! Her lectures can get a bit boring, but she tries her best to make it entertaining.

Prof Viau is cool, crazy, knowledgeable, and an absolute character. You will not be upset about signing up for her class. The material is quite boring but she finds a way to make it more than tolerable. Practically no homework, and the study guides for tests are exactly like the tests. You can even find them on Quizlet.

I really enjoyed this class. Dr. Viau is amazing. She is so passionate and enthusiastic about what she teaches and puts her heart and soul into her lectures. Exams are hard for a GEP class but she gives good study guides and will explain things more in her office hours. Very open to talking to students. I would definitely recommend this class.

Dr. Viau is a great professor. If you are interested by subjects like religion and human culture, then I highly recommend you take this class. Dr. Viau provides you with more than enough tools to help you prepare yourself for the exams and other assignments.

About a quarter through the semester I stopped going to class, and about 3 days before the tests I would crack open the book and take very thorough cornell notes and then do the study guides. This method got me solid B's on all the tests. As long as you do the reading quizzes and study for her tests, going to class isn't necessary at all.

I took Dr. Viau for Rel2300 and Hum2210. This class is more difficult than Rel, with participation and a 4-6 page essay. I don't read the textbook all the way through, but use it to study each subject on her study guides, which is a must. No subject on the exam that isn't on her guides. Got an A on every exam. She is passionate and eye-opening.

If you're in college to passively get your degree by regurgitating the content you learn, this class isn't for you. She genuinely loves what she does and her passion for it shows in her lectures. She will teach you a lot for the pure sake of knowledge. She focuses on the marginalized groups within religion but has a deep appreciation for all faiths

Helpful, well-organized. Slow to grade things. Great content that will stick with you. Reading a little excessive. Not an easy A but not a hard grader. Do the reading if you expect to pass quizzes.

Dr. Viau has exposed me to information regarding certain philosophical movements and the thinking associated with them, that is extremely relevant. I really appreciated taking Phi-3033 with her because she provided such varied and rich resources for us to draw upon. She cares that her students receive information relevant to contemporary issues.

Great teacher, really offers insight along with the course material.

Test are hard and consist of all that apply,fill in the blank, true or false, and multiple choice questions. You do not NEED the book but if you want to pass the quizzes you definitely need itS

Dr. Viau is obviously way passionate about the topic and tends towards a social justice perspective and some emotional outbursts but if you are okay with that you will learn a lot about different religions and differences within religions. the class is reading heavy but she is willing to help and gives good feedback. also easy on the eye.

very intelligent professor; lots of online quizzes that are super easy (10 of them I think); 3 tests; uses Tophat (kind of like Kahoot) for occasional attendance checking and class participation/ input; learned more than I thought I would in this class about the major religions with a very insightful and intellectual teacher

Professor Viau loves Religion so much and it shows through her lectures. She cares so much about her students too and is so inspirational. You have to work for her class and read the book but she's clear on what you need to know. I would recommend her definitely, she's a great professor but the class itself is hard i.e. the material not her.

She was really enthusiastic about the subject she was teaching and did a great job of getting students interested.

USE THE BOOK TO STUDY AND YOU WILL GET AN A. She's super nice and caring, very passionate about what she teaches.

The tests are very specific. If you don't study daily, you have no chance of getting an A.

This professor really enjoys what she teaches which I liked! Try to regularly read the assigned sections and do the study guides she posts and you should be fine. I definitely used the textbook but I got the digital version since its more convenient than carrying one around. Also put effort into your final essay. Go to class, you'll do work.

Most of her test questions come from her Prezis or the book. Reading each chapter isn't necessary. She gives a study guide a week before each exam. Look up everything on the study guide in the book and memorize. Did this twice and did well. I would've had an A if I did this all 3 times. If you put the effort into this class, you'll do fine.

Dr. Viau is an inspiration, she assigns a lot of reading but it is thought provoking and good for you! Most of the tests are based on videos and just a few of the readings. Not sure for on campus classes but her online class is very easy as long as you read. slow to respond and sometimes unclear on what is expected. (

Dr. Jeanine is an awesome lady and really wants her students to do well. If you show up to all of the lectures she will get to know you. She hands out extra credit for attendance. All of her quizzes are online and her test is not difficult if you read her textbook and notes. The class was really awesome and was an amazing learning experience.

Amazing class and great passionate professor. Lots of reading but her passion made up for it. She's the type of professor who lives for her topic. Go and see her if you need help, she has high standards but is more than willing to help you meet them.

Rel2300 was the easiest class I have ever taken! I took it online and we had all our quizzes online and just one discussion board per week! No tests at UCF and only 1 paper! You can find all the quiz answers on quizlet, so no need to read the chapters. Just skim the chapters when writing the discussion board (NO WORD LIMIT!!) Easy A, extra credit 2

Professor Viau is a solid choice for REL2300. This was an online course so it was certainly different. She is a tough but fair grader. The tests are a little confusing just because of names of religious ideals and people. You have to visit a religious site and write about it. All and all, good course.

Pretty easy class. I took it online in the summer. You just read the section of the textbook assigned, do a discussion, take a quiz, and thats it. The questions on the quizzes are based on the readings. Make sure to read and take notes. You don't really have time to look up the answers and the answers aren't online. No tests, just quizzes. Easy A.

Viau made a class that I thought I wouldnt enjoy the most enjoyable course Ive taken. A true academic and is passionate about what she teaches. Three exams, participation/attendance, and a group project where we had to visit a religious service/site of our choice and do a write up. Lots of reading and hard material but Viau makes it worthwhile

I learned a lot in this class. Dr. Viau is very passionate and puts a lot into her lectures. There is a lot of reading but she is available and cares about her students. Go and see her in office hours if you need help.

Quizzes & discussion posts every other week. If you time & pace yourself well then you should have no problem getting an A in the online class. Her content is lengthy but educational eresting. If you find you have a hard time keeping up just work smarter not harder. Also, discussion posts were only around 150 words. Quizzes are open notebook.

I don't understand why so many students want an "easy A". You are in school to learn and work for your grade. With that being said, Dr. Viau is a good teacher but no, it's not an easy A. You must read the material, do your assignments on time and work hard for a good test grade. She tests heavy (70% of grade) but if you study, it's doable.

Dr Viau is an inspiration!

Course grades are primarily discussions and quizzes. Be sure to thoroughly read the assigned texts, although most of them can be found through online sources. The course includes a project due around mid-terms and a group project due at the end.

Absolutely brilliant professor, almost too excited about the course, you can tell how fascinated she is by what she teaches. Dr. Viau is very caring, but has no sympathy for slackers. If you put in the hard work, she'll make sure you get the grade you want. Lectures are EXTREMELY important, so pay very close attention and take good notes.

Dr Viau's class is not easy. Her tests are very difficult and require a deep understanding of the material. If you don't read or show up to class you won't do well. However, her classes are amazing. She is a great lecturer and you will definitely leave her class with a new perspective.

Those majoring in the humanities will appreciate her way of teaching and challenging your mind. She is the reason I got into my masters program and one of the most dedicated educators I have met. If you're someone looking for an easy 2000 level course for GPA boost with little to no work then sorry. But if you actually want to learn, take her now!

I learned so much in this class, not only about the subject but also about note taking, reading religion/philosophy, and understanding main ideas. You will be tested on trivial stuff yet parts of the reading. Professor Viau can expand on readings infinitely, there is nothing trivial in her system, you are expected to know it all... but you'll learn

For online success, you must read the material, read slides, and solve the exam review in detail. These steps guarantee a B. Knowledge of all the material will get you an A. Discussion posts and a paper with light research and commentary are required, both must be of academic tone. The attention to trivia is unnecessary, yet the reading is required

Dr. Viau has a calm presence to her. No quizzes, just exams based on the readings after a few weeks. A mix of multiple choice and free response. Every couple of weeks she has us do workshop assignments. In them, she gives us two options to choose from. Theyre not hard and theyre graded on completion. She provides all the reading, so no textbook

Great professor. Very caring about her students. She includes diverse authors of different genders, sexualities, ethnicities, religions, etc. and works through a social justice lens. There's a lot of reading and content but the quizzes are short and if you keep up it's pretty easy. Lots of class activities.

This class was probably the most interesting one I have ever taken. Professor Viau is very nice and caring, and so open minded which I love. While the material was very interesting, truly get ready to read, you will need to read all the readings assigned to get a good grade. Only material graded were discussions, 2 projects, and quizzes.

Dr. Viau is very kind and is clearly very passionate about humanities. She does make it interesting but you will be a little bored if you are not an art/humanities person. Graded on weekly-ish quizzes, 4 "workshops" and tests (non final/cumulative). There will be a lot of reading and you can’t get by skipping it. Great class.

Good prof, clearly cares a lot about her students and is SUPER passionate about what she does. The grading scale makes it hard to get an A but A- is pretty much guaranteed if you try. Definitely recommend make sure you attend class otherwise you might be lost with the material (Also she gives out test answers the class before!)

A very passionate woman about a very strange subject. She clearly cares very much about what she teaches and can even get you interested in the strangest topics. Wasn't the most interesting to me but an easy enough class. Weekly readings can be time-consuming but the tests are easy. The midterm & final aren't cumulative so they're also easy.

Prof. Viau is very passionate about this course and cares about her students. Some of the modules made no sense to me but some were interesting. There are weekly quizzes and four exams no cumulative. They are pretty easy and also open notes. Go to class if you want to get at least an A-.

This class was a ton of reading, but I found it to be fairly easy. Dr. Viau is very passionate about what she teaches, making the class very fun! She truly wants you to succeed, giving 2 attempts for quizzes, allowing you to see what you got wrong, and making the tests open-book, open-notes with a very generous amount of time to complete it.

I took Dr. Viau in the Fall of 2016. don't understand why so many students have given her a 1. She is a good professor. This class wasn't easy, but it was doable. Just do the readings and take the quizzes. She tells you what topics are going to be on each exam beforehand. The only downside is that each exam was about 50 questions.

She was really nice. There is 3 open note tests (multiple choice and written response - real easy-) . All based on the readings and what she says in the lectures. Weekly reading and quiz. Overall not a bad class. It wasn't time consuming. Just take notes on the information to use on the tests.

I took this class online and it was super easy to just go through and answer the questions! This class was no difficult whatsoever and I would recommend it to anyone who needs an easy GED credit! All the quizzes come straight from the readings and exams are open notes!

Prof Viau is kind and interesting! There's a super short/easy quiz each week based on the weekly readings and three discussions in total. The exams are timed but open-note and related to the readings so manageable. She actually posts interesting material/films and even made a class Spotify playlist. Definitely recommend her! Easy A for GED credit!

Professor Viau is amazing, you can tell she absolutely loves the subject and really enjoys teaching. The class was interesting, not all of the lessons are for everyone but that college. Clear grading scale, 3 open book exams with lots of time, they also have a separate writing section. DO THE READING! She's great, I'm glad I took this with her.

Professor Viau's class has a lot of reading, but the exams are manageable with open-note format. The weekly quizzes are straightforward, and Unstuck AI was a helpful study tool. Overall, a decent GED credit option.

Professor Viau was a great professor! She provided many readings and materials and the class was mainly some writing and little quizzes. Not difficult and recommend if you need to fulfill requirements! There were not many weekly assignments so easily manageable especially if u take in the summer

took it online for summer term, theres a TON of reading! but exams are open note so i would have the excerpts open while taking them. the ecofast project was a lot of writing but overall the class was easy.
