My absolute favorite teacher. quizzes were easy and if you got an answer wrong he gave the class a chance to explain why we put that answer and if he thinks it is a good reason he will change your grade as if you got it right. Is a huge star wars fan but does not like Jar-jar binks lol. Ask him to do an impression of Jar- jar... cracks me up!!!

He changed the test style every week. This made passing with a good grade extremely difficult. Take his papers seriously, He is not a simple you write it you get an "A" kinda guy. If your looking for an easy class he is not your guy, However, If your in it for the experience and enjoy "nerdy" humor you will probably have a great time.

Rountree is a good person, but his methods don't work and his grading is too harsh. You are expected to do fill in the blank quizzes with no word banks after listening to his lengthy, hardly informative, and digressive lectures. There are 2 papers that he grades extra harshly. I'm left frustrated with his lesson plan and approach on things.

Mr. Rountree was an amazing person to have as an instructor for my first semester. The class is based around taking accurate notes from the lectures he gives. I always left the class entertained and informed. He is a database of knowledge and can hold a conversation on just about anything you talk to him about.

He is an awesome teacher. He covers a lot in a short period of time but you will get a lot of knowledge from his lectures. He is very caring about your grades. He has two portfolios due to one in the middle and one at the end. Do not wait until the last minute to do them.

He gives two portfolios and you must do them! He cares about his students and what you guys are learning. He tries to get people to come in and speak. He is always there for you if you need him. I have taken him for Humanities also. I had him for world half way through the semester online because the corona virus.

Moved online mid-semester from COVID, and I missed it. This class was the most fun course I have ever taken! Prof Rountree is an amazing and intelligent professor, who always has fun stories to tell. He showed the most amazing films in that class and suggested other great films. The only work was a portfolio due at the end. Prof Rountree is great!

I took the on-line course this summer and it was self paced. There were 2 due dates, first paper and end of semester portfolio project. Weekly discussion boards. I learned a lot about World Religions. Word of advice is not to wait until the last minute to start your portfolio project if assigned. It is not difficult but takes time.

Prof Roundtree was great. I took world religions during COVID, and got an experience that was amazing, but different than regular classes with him. He was quick to respond to emails, and helps those who ask. 100% would take it again. Also a 4th credit option for those looking for it. Easy class in general, and is a great humanities course.

The overall class was easy, I got an A with barely any effort. He did offer extra credit for voting, however I couldn't vote and he didn't offer any alternative so that sucked. There's only 4 grades: 1) Participation in discussion boards 2) Religious Experience Paper 3) Research Portfolio (mine was around 25 pages) 4) Final Exam Essay

I took Prof. Rountree's World Religions class this past semester entirely virtual, which was very different for many of us. He's a great professor, one that wants to ensure his student have every thing they need to know to do well in his class as well as other classes. He is also very accessible outside of class. I would highly recommend him!

The class consisted of watching lots of movies/films and posting a discussion about them. Had to do a 10-page portfolio on 10 films of your choosing and correlating them to a theme. He responded to emails within 24 hours. A pretty simple class. Seemed like a nice guy though it was an online course.

He tried to make the best out of it since he couldn't do what he normally does for our class. He rambles a lot and got off topic so easily. He was great overall.

One personal religious experience paper - watch a youtube sermon live and its easy filler writing. Another assignment is 10 pages, each on a certain topic and you choose the content, again easy filler but time-consuming. Final is 2 pages each of which you choose the topic from a selection. There are weekly DBs for the first half of the class. Easy!

Simple class, easy A if you do the work. Two small papers (one the final, another writing about a virtual religious service), weekly discussion, and one massive 10 page research paper that determines your grade. The paper is a pain, but overall, the workload is light. I recommend taking Composition 1 with or before this class.

He set us up for success with clear instructions, flexible pacing, resource recommendations, & optional Zoom meetings for questions.

He is a very personable guy, and a lot of his lectures, while long, are intertwined with personal anecdotes. He is easy to talk to, and understanding of extenuating circumstances, so please reach out to him. The only negative comment is that the lectures are auditory only, which is hard for me as a visual person, and there are only 3 assignments.

Took his 8 week mini summer semester and I absolutely loved it! You can tell he's knowledgeable and more importantly passionate about his subject.
