Absolutely loved her. She knows everything about everything. She's an excellent story teller, and keeps you entertained.

I could have watched all these video's on my own!

Great Teacher, very nice and very helpful. Cna explain things to you in everyday examples. Very smart and knows what she is talking about. Her tests have either hard or easy q's, a mix of both. also shes very funny and a great story teller, and sometimes a gud actor:P

She knows everything about everything! Very smart, and does a great imitation of an LSD trip. Makes class fun and interesting, even at 9 at night.

This woman is great at giving examples and wonderful stories to keep you intrigued. Her exams are difficult. Sections on Judaism and Christianity are long with lots of info to remember. Leaves topic for essay open for you to choose, makes it easier to write. I can't wait to take HUMS1171.

I'm a B+ student with a 96% average in this class. She's awesome, very easy and totally brilliant. She lets you know exactly what she expects on the exams. Take a LOT of notes though!

GREAT TEACHER, excellent lecturer. Definately not a dry course. Very intelligent also. Gives very full notes. Must have strong wrists to keep up lol. She awesome. helpful too hehe

Great prof. Enthusiastic/knowledgeable. Really gets your attention and always makes class fun. Lots of notes/test based on them/ must be in class. Will definetely take Humn1172. Some tangents but always interesting. Chance for guided tour of temple. Videos are mostly good.

Number 1 best teacher ever. I'd take her classes untill I was dead if I could. VERY nice! Do not skip.....EVER...tests 100% reflect lectures. However, DO skip if it's a video day. Videos are TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE!!!! One more time TERRIBLE! Aw what the hell TTTEEERRRIIBBLLEE!!!

Interesting class to get an idea of some different academic career fields. Valuable to have a different accomplished speaker each week talk about their fields of study. Easy class but you have to pay attention and take notes, and write 3 college level papers and a final. Recommended, I would also recommend STSU 100 & ENGL 130 (HUMD 010 also good).

Amazing and inspiring. I will forever take her classes. You learn so much and are never bored with her amazing stories and vast knowledge. I love her and recommend her to everyone. I have never learnt so much and enjoyed school as much as i have in her classes. AMAZING TEACHER!!!!

Method of evaluating students is not effective. Final is based on lectures by multiple instructors over a period of 3 months. Very difficult to study for. If you faile the finale you fail the whole course no matter how well you did on other assignments. Needs to find a better way to evaluate students. Also pretty disorganized.

I dont care what any of you dumb people say...shes the best teacher ever and if you think otherwise then your just plain stupid.its not that hard to get a good mark just take good notes and study. shes very knowledgable and one of the most interesting teachers i've had.

She is one of my favourtie teachers ever. SHe was helpful, nice and interesting

AMAZING TEACHERS, AWESOME CLASS, VERY EASY, LERAN LOTS OF PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE. Each week differnet teachers come in and lecture. We had the likes of Mano Daniel, Shaun Tyakoff come in...teachers from the fields of Philosophy, Anthropology, Literature, World Politics, Geography, Biology, Psychology, etc...Linda herself gives the lecture on Religion.

Excellent professor. Teaches at a university level, which is why the exams are based on lectures and good notes. If you're new to taking notes in class, ask other students for theirs from time to time to see if you're missing anything. Linda is informative, interesting and completely unbiased. A TREAT to take this class!

Great teacher and class. I learned a lot!! The class was easy if you took notes and studied. I don't understand why students complain. Note taking is part of college/university life. People who have trouble with this class should rethink attending university.

Linda is an awesome teacher and a complete sweetheart... Ive taken 2 courses with her so far and plan on taking more. Lectures are mandatory, take good notes! you don't really need to read the text except for background information. overall: LOVED HER!

This class is a MUST! Very interesting class. It is SOO much more intersting than the Douglas Calendar Desription of it. If you are taking the other 2 Religion Courses, take this. Linda has an awesome teaching style, learned a lot, watched videos, VERY interesting tangents as always, tells you stuff other instructors won't,material is very relevant

It was a very good course! It was very organized so I didn't know much about western religions but I could grasp what they are like. Also she made me more interesting in religions. It might be a little bit tough to take notes, but as long as you attend every class I think you will be alright. She is kind and always helpful.

It's very interesting. It was a little bit unorganized but I think it was because of the first time she offered this course. She's always willing to answer questiongs and knows a lot about what she's teaching. Although this course doesn't need any prerequisits, I recommend to take either HUMS 1171/1172 or you have strong interest in the stuff.

she was a cute teacher. the notes were unorganized but it was the first time she taught the class and there was so much to cover. she knew a lot about the stuff she was talking about. a very interesting person too.

Linda is awesome! She is very well versed in what she's teaching, down to earth and sweet. Her class is difficult if you don't show up for lectures because we didn't use the textbook all that much. Very interesting class and man, she has got it going on in the looks department! :) She can be scatterbrained but I found it endearing. Loved her!

She is amazing! Listening of her lectures was one of the best fun I've ever had! She's smart and really passionate about her subjects. However, you have to know everything what she lectures about. There is not much use for textbook.

She is super interesting, and made class super fun. Learnt so much from her. She is very passionate about what she teaches and simply just wants to share her knowledge with the world. She is a very easy marker.

1171/2.Seems scatterbrained, but LOVES her subject and makes it very interesting. Be prepared to take LOTS of notes! Tends to jump from one topic to another, but tests are short and not hard. Half MC, half SA. Only one assignment, an MLA paper. Fun to write, and she marks easily and fairly. NEVER skip class, you'll miss a lot. Textbook unnecessary.

Passionate and excited when teaching her subject. Went two courses without using the text and I got B in her class, so not necessary. Had a good 30-40 minute nap when she showed old-school videos, but lectures are always interesting and doesnt use powerpoint, which is a nice change. Is unlcear and indecisive at times, but recommend her nonetheless!

Lectures are interesting and helpful so make sure to attend. Sometimes she does say bizarre things but at least it makes class interesting. However, she didn't need to mock Indian accents, it was really immature.

Her classes are definitely entertaining. Textbook is basically useless, all her tests are based solely on lectures. If you take really good notes and then rewrite them you will get an A on the tests

I LOVE HER! You dont even need to purchase a textbook, all tests are solely on her lectures. Her tests are based on exactly what she writes on the board. I took both of her classes and got a good mark. A lot of memorization.

Linda is a very animated and interesting prof. She teaches through talking primarily so just listen and take notes on everything she emphasizes. Ocassional old video not worth staying for. Most of the tests are based on lecture. Fair marker. One essay. Oriental Religion Studies course.

I just finished a semester with Linda in Eastern Religions. She is an amazing teacher, full of life and energy. She opened my eyes and heart to other cultural beliefs, and traditions. She is an excellent teacher that cares about her students. I would absolutely take another class from her. She is a genuine nice caring women. I really enjoyed class.

Linda can be very eccentric in her teaching style. Her class, exams and papers are purely based off of her lectures. Did not need to buy the book at all. No final exam for HUMS 1172 only a heavy term paper. Has a tendency to do East Indian and East Asian accents which might come off as offensive to some.

Linda is an amazing prof. I took all 3 RELG classes with her. She's an extremely easy marker for papers and presentations (A's usually). I agree with others,she is a little bit confusing at times but she explains the main topics and points you need to know for exams, and its up to the student to organize their notes in a way they can understand.

I thought Linda was a little crazy at first but really, she's just passionate about the subject. Be prepared to attend class and take lots of notes, especially for the midterm. Average for the midterm was barely a pass but other than that, very lenient with marking and not hard to get good marks.

She's a bit odd but she's extremely charismatic and her lectures are awesome. I could listen to her talk about gravel for three hours and I'd still be listening intently. I didn't buy the textbooks but I got an A just from taking notes. Don't miss any classes.

Linda is a wonderful prof, I really liked her. There is no mid-term or final, only quizzes and a paper. She is a very funny woman and I enjoyed her lectures (they might seem long for some). She is really passionate about what she teaches. I would take other courses with her.

Linda is a wonderful professor, i enjoyed every single one of her classes. Her notes are easy to follow, however, it was a bit of a challenge to write it down as she always uses arrows to connect her points. Textbook was not used at all. Tests are based on her notes and lectures. Definitely would take again.

Linda was a great prof I took her for World Religion Oriental and Occidental. Both easy A's. It's a really good class if you're great at writing notes because she bases her tests on her own notes, so no need to buy the textbook. Although she is hard to follow sometimes since her lecture style is so unstructured, she is entertaining to watch!

Linda's passionate about religion & an amazing, energetic lecturer. Yes, you have show up, pay attention & take notes to pass but hey... it's called being a student. She tries to connect with students & provides field trips. Not the most difficult material but you do have to try. If you want an 'easy A' with no effort you shouldn't be in college.

Unreal prof teaching really important content. Highly recommend. Come to class with an open mind. She has a ton of amazing life experience and knowledge to share. Watched some really cool documentaries on the occult, Wicca and Alchemy. Really fun class.

Linda, love to teach and loves her students. New Religious Movement was a fun class and very interactive. We had to do a book report, essay, and presentation. It is cool that they have a course that I have a strong interest in, and Linda is an expert in the field. It did not feel like class. Linda cared more about what her students learn.

Awesome professor i have ever met.��

Awesome Prof

Linda's passion is religion, shes very animated and will often act out a scene. Shes a very easy marker when it comes to written assignments and projects. If I have any complaints its her tests, because she often goes off topic we sometimes miss important parts of a lecture and of course that missed part will still be on the test.

Linda is a great teacher. She has a lot of heart for what she teaches and understandably so. If you pay attention to her class and watch her videos then you'll be able to get a lot deeper with yourself and question things around the world.

Linda is one of the most inspiring and caring professors I have ever had the pleasure of being taught by. She cares about her students and always ensures everyone is happy. She is super personable which is an important quality for a Professor to have as she understands that life outside of class isn't always easy for everyone. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

One of the best lecturers. Tests are solely based on her lectures, so don't waste your time on the textbook.

Dr. Christensen is such an interesting professor, you wont find any other like her! Don't worry about the textbook, you wont need it. The exams are solely based on her lectures which now thanks to online learning and covid are available on her YouTube channel! Make good notes and study the work, the majority of your grade is compiled of exams.

Linda has a very "old-school" style of teaching with dense lectures, lots of content and not a lot of opportunities to ask questions. You can tell she's passionate and super knowledgeable and just wants to share everything she knows with her students. It's definitely not everyone's preferred style of learning, but she's a great teacher.

I also had her for 1101. She's very enthusiastic about what she teaches. I didn't use the textbook at all, and her syllabus was not helpful. Assignment and essay instructions and details were never clear. It literally tells you, okay you have an essay due this day, but it wouldn't tell you specifics about formatting/citing, word/page count, etc.

goes off on tangents frequently but just focus on the big ideas of each lecture and you'll be fine. Tests are very straightforward, questions are directly related to the material with no tricks. Don't buy textbook, her lectures are all you need to do well in this class
