I really did not learn anything in this course. First classes are fun, but then it is always the same. You basically have to do nothing to get an A. The guy is nice outside the class.

Only interesting when he speaks against vaccines and mask mandates. Most of the time he speaks and nobody pays attention. Just be there and you get an A. Asks questions, and he thinks you are paying attention. Sometimes he is funny.

This guy is one of the reasons I dropped college. Always late, always the same classes, same jokes. You can learn more watching youtube videos. Well, his classes are just his version of youtube videos. And you have to pay for this!

Amazing Proffesor, works with you when you have problems. Very flexible. Easy class to pass just go to class. no homework or assignments just pay attention and take notes. He gives out a review exactly like the actual test and then the only grades he gets are mid term and final. which aren't that hard.

Dr Lee Basham is the BEST professor I've ever taken! Truly cares for his students, and wants to see them pass. Only Mid Term, Final Exam, but gives you a study guide for the test. The "Ween" is the BEST! I love her, she was the highlight of my class!!! Just take notes he provides in class. Take this class you will love it! Highly recommend!!!!!!!!!

One of the best professors I have had the pleasure of taking. He is an outstanding lecturer and makes you think about what he is teaching. Dives into his teaching style with so much energy and makes the class so much fun. Makes class personal and is not afraid to get anyone involved and break out of their shell. Highly recommend Dr. Lee Basham.

Very fun and interactive Professor. He has stories for days and always brings the most "randomest" items in class, but it all has a meaning towards the day's lecture. I recommend taking him, he's very laxed and you definitely learn a thing or two. He knows how to make you see the other religions in a different perspective.

Only grades are the midterm and final, reviews are given beforehand and you are allowed to use the review during the tests. He's a pretty chill and funny dude, not easy to reach via email but he's always hanging around campus so he's easy to find and very understanding.
