He points and screams at someone each class for not listening which makes students practically scared to approach him.Too many homeworks, a lectures consists of 2 books and a handout at the same time and jumps from one source to other which is very hard to keep up. Papers are really especially 2nd and 3rd one.

Lots of homework

He started off the semester by saying that he doesn't use blackboard, if you want to contact him you have no way of doing so and you have to wait weeks to find out your grades. He's so rude, he gets upset easily, and assigns homework every class but the course is graded off of only three papers. Other than his ways of teaching, it was an okay class

Professor's chill. 3 papers & 7-9 hws. Listen closely to lectures, get down everything he says *with given page #s!* The 3 papers are written ONLY with lecture notes & the books read in class. If you write everything he says with *page# citations*, you can use his prompt & paraphrase your notes into an A (grade) paper. Do ask for printed Prompts.

His class was easy as long as you listen and pay attention. Class are grade by 3 paper for my classes and he did give out homework, but he said it won't be counted as your grade as long as you do it. He's very rude as he scream and yell the students, and it's basically impossible to reach out to him since he don't use bb nor email.

I took Professor Trumbach's course on the history of Jesus. He is an older guy (no doubt) and speaks slowly, but you will learn a lot. Still, if you show up, it is not a very difficult course. The grading is based on 3 papers and a brief oral presentation. He looks intimidating, but he grades very fairly.

Class is graded on only 3 papers. He will go over exactly what he's looking for. For the first paper, he literally tells you how to start off each paragraph. That should act as your guide for the rest of the papers. Do all the HW, you can BS them. Also, don't skip the class; everything he says can be used in the paper. Be sure to take notes!

I had his class in Fall 2023. He will call on you in class to answer a question (things about the book he assigns so please read them). He grades off 3 papers and he gives you the format on how the write it, what information to put. It's an easy A if you read the book, write down what he says in class, and follow the paper format.

Keep an open mind. I loved his class. He challenged everything I knew. It's been weeks yrs. And still think about that class.

The professor has a specific teaching style, but engaging with it pays off. Lectures cover a lot, so staying focused and taking detailed notes is key. For study prep, unstuckstudy and the course textbook were really helpful alongside the required papers.
