Dr. Andre is very knowledgable and although the subject matter is somewhat difficult he always does his best to make sure everyone understands it. Class consists of 4 papers that build upon one another. After the first couple, you know what he wants and the class becomes a lot easier. If you get an A on the final essay, you get an A in the class.

He was a nice and kind professor. He may be offensive to some people, especially religous people. He can really test your faith, because he does make you question your beliefs and why you believe so and goes deep into it, which is part of the subject. I didn't buy a textbook. I did the PACE class and we only had two tests, but many projects.
