Dr. Waskow is an absolutely amazing professor! While the Attendance is manditory, the class is based more upon the work. IT IS NOT A "GIMME" CLASS! You ar required to participate, turn in assignments (specific details) and do well on tests. This class is NOT for 1st semester students! It is fun, interesting and she is very knowledgable. A++

I took her Honors Women in Religions. My advice is to do the assigned readings and when she gives you the essay questions before the test outline them or write them out before the test. She picks 5 or 6 from the questions she gives you and those are the essays you have to do on the test. She expects college level work but is a very fair grader.

I took REL290 with Waskow and I loved her so much that I am currently taking REL100. Now I am going to take her again for REL291 just for fun. She is so knowledgeable about all religions. She cares about every single student and has the best lectures. You are only graded on 6 quizzes and 6 exams but they are easy and she offers EC for each. Easy A!

I am not surprised that she has 5.0 on her overall quality, amazing professor. Get ready to read a lot, have discussions assignment, quizzes, and concept maps. It might seem a lot but it's an honors class. Its a lot of work but not hard, as long as you put your effort into it then you should be fine. I would totally take her class again. HILARIOUS!

Best Professor ever!! I took her Honors Women's Studies & Religions class and learned so much new & useful information. Julie is super organized, knows this subject inside and out, and delivers it in an interesting way. It's important to pay attention as a lot of info. is thrown your way but if you do all the readings & participate, you'll be fine!

Waskows Religion & Sexuality class is way easier than her world religoion course so that is a plus. Being able to relate to things to real life & remember examples from lecture is a must for this class. Attendance is a must as Waskow goes throught alot of stuff. Stay ontop of your end of the semester project, stay awake, & study a little.

Dr. Waskow is an amazing teacher. It is obvious that she loves teaching and wants her students to ask questions. REL100 is not a hard class, if you watch all the lectures, read the textbook, and take notes. There is either a quiz or test every week with discussion posts and small assignments. If you enjoy online classes, take this class!

Professor Waskow was such a treasure! She truly loves what she does and has so much insight into what she teaches. Be prepared to work, though! She usually assigns about 1-2 chapters each week for you to work on, so 5-6 assignments. She also assigns videos within her chapters, which DO matter. Advise not taking this as an accelerated class though!
