Professor Sharpe was one of the best professors to have, if you do not need a difficult class. Sharpe has a great sense of humor, and is really into movies and tv shows, and loves using clips and other YouTube clips in lectures. None of his quizzes were hard, because they were all multiple choice and very short. He is a very clear teacher.

Jonathan is a nice guy. The class was pretty easy, a lot of reading, but that was a class requirement not his. Do all the homework and assignments and you will be fine.

Unfortunately I did not enjoy my time in Professor Sharpe's class. Multiple times he interjected his political opinion into the class lecture. I know the University is very conservative, but his rhetoric was offensive. This class was a forum for him to express is very conservative views. Its was quite unfortunate to not learn more about the bible.

The main thing I hated the most about Christian worldview was the long as heck papers that had very unclear guidelines. They also had conflicting guidelines like: use provided labels for each paragraph, then you were expected to have an intro and conclusion even though those labels were not provided, and that criteria was hidden in the rubric.

This class had to be one of my favorites. Sharpe made a class that I didn't want to be in fun. He has A LOT of knowledge on what he is talking about. One of my favorite qualities Sharpe possesses is a non bias opinion. This class isn't about why Christianity is the only right religion and he does not bash other religions. Random participation.

He is an overall good professor and has a lot of information to teach. He speaks a lot so you have to figure out what is important. He postpones every quiz by at least 1 to 2 classes so you won't know when it is unless you show up everyday. Assignments vary from group to individual work and projects take forever to grade and get back.

Professor Sharpe has easily been the best professor that I have had at GCU. His approach to each class is structured, and while some found him dull, I found him genuine. He actually TAUGHT and if you listen, and are not just on your lap top, you will obtain a lot of his teaching. Plus he is hilarious and sounds exactly like Owen Wilson.

As long as you show up and actually pay attention you have an A. He has engaging lectures so you feel inclined to pay attention, sometimes he'll play random videos that somehow relate to what he is talking about. Chose your groups carefully because you have group work, but if you don't work well with your group he does give you changes to switch<3

Professor Sharpe is the best! He's a great guy and an amazing teacher. He communicates very affectively and teaches the material necessary, but most importantly he's super passionate and caring and i appreciate that as a student. This is a great class and a great opportunity to learn about christianity and other worldviews in a safe place.

I didn't even take the final and he gave me an A on it. I left school early for break and expected to finish with an 86% because I messed up bad on one assignment and I should have got a 0/70 on the final. But when I checked, he gave me an A on it and I finished with a 95%. Super chill guy and he gives extra credit for no reason. 10/10 recommend.

Professor Sharpe is an overall amazing teacher. Although he often gets carried away and goes of topic, he tries to make class as fun as possible. His class is very lecture-heavy which is why you cannot afford to miss this class too much. In all, if you are looking to get Christian Worldview out of the way with an easy A, he's your guy.

Nice professor. Will take hours out of his day to help students during the office hours even if it is just talking about life. Only tough part of the class is that you have to work on group projects and also don't skip classes because you can't make up points for participation projects you miss. Since this is a class you have to take, take Sharpe!
