Brother Wahlquist is phenomenal. He makes you laugh, he makes you cry, and he gives you a deeper understanding and love for the scriptures. When you walk in the classroom you can feel his excitement about what he teaches. I absolutely loved going to his classes and always left feeling so uplifted. He is the religion professor you want. I promise.

Brother Wahlquist brings a spirit to the room that cannot be matched. He has such enthusiasm about the gospel that it inspires you to read with more vigor. No tests, just a paper written at the end of the semester, that is basically a church talk. All you have to do to pass is come to class and participate. LOVE HIM.

Brother Wahlquist is a really nice guy but i'm not a fan of his class. He gets super loud and obnoxious. There were many instances where someone in class was sharing an emotional story for them and he would keep making stupid jokes while they were sharing. It was rude and totally took the spirit away. He assigns a lot of reading before each class.

I honestly struggled liking his class. It almost felt like he was concerned more with entertaining the class than bringing in the Spirit. He often cuts people off and cracks jokes during what might have been a spiritual moment. He would focus a lot on weird gospel facts rather than focusing on what's important. He yells a lot like a evangelical.

When I took his class, I was just coming back into activity in the Church. He discredited a lot of what I would say and rebuked me for not reading the scriptures more or being like all the other self-righteous people in the class.

Brother Wahlquist was amazing! For the Eternal Families class we did have to get a book and do some pre-reading from the talks and scriptures but wasn't a heavy load of it! The class discussions are always great and enjoyable! He really makes learning fun! I even had him for Jesus Everlasting Gospel and it also has been amazing!

Brother Wahlquist is such a good teacher and makes class exciting. He never lets it go boring and I am always excited to go to his class. Homework is easy, it's a self graded attendance, but he also passes around an attendance sheet during class. The only other homework is based on what you learned that day, so take notes!

Brother Wahlquist is a pretty cool dude. His classes are exciting and fun. He sometimes teaches his own doctrine and interrupts people all the time, which kinda bothered me sometimes, but overall he is great. If you're looking for a teacher that will keep you awake during class, then take him for sure. But be sure to never miss even one class...

Brother Wahlquist was very a very knowledgeable a caring teacher. For the class, I had to write plenty of write-ups on conference talks, apostles, teaching others, etc. At the end of the semester, there is a big project worth a ton of points, but he breaks it down for you. He accepts late work, but will give a penalty for it.

To be honest, I'm not fully certain he understands the religion he's teaching, because he kept saying completely false doctrine.
