Great TEACHER

Dr. Jenkins is a great prof. He really knows his stuff and actually is passionate about it. He is awesome to talk to one on one and keeps his classroom upbeat and it is never boring. Hearing the stories about his kids are absolutely hilarious!!!!

Amazing prof. Total genius and definitely fun in class. Always willing to hear questions, even when those questions are absurd. He treats everyone equally, and it has been my privilege to take this class with him.

My favorite professor. Or at least tied with powery.

No tests! Quizes and weekly DRP(answering qustions on material) make up the grade. Ask questions if you don't understand something. One of the best classes I've had to take.

Skip is the best theology professor in the department! He is an animated professor who always finds interesting ways to convey his message. He always kept my attention. He doesn't give tests, but does require daily homework to be turned in and he gives open note quizzes almost every class.

He is good. I started the class thinking he was too arrogant, but as the class goes on you get used to his dry humor and even enjoy the challenging conversations with him. He acknowledges when you have a good point and gives you credit. Good teacher. Down to Earth.

Jenkins is by far the best teacher I have ever had. I have learned more in his two classes this semester about the Bible, and have been challenged to critically think more than I ever have before in my entire life. He makes you want to come to class and excited to learn. He is extremely smart, funny and very down to earth!! Take anything he teaches

Prof. Jenkins is the man. You may not get along with him because of his strong personality - but to each his own. For my part, I found his teaching challenging, brilliant and fun. Will definitely make you think critically.

Skip is one of my favorite teachers. He makes classes interesting and fun. I have learned a lot! AND there are no exams...only open-note quizes, weekly homework pages, and three papers. I would def. recommend him -- if you have a sense of humor and can take sarcasm.

His presentation of the material is very cohesive, which makes everything easier to understand in the end. Class is very thought-provoking and mentally challenging, yet it is not impossible to get a good grade - just requires understanding and putting thought into your work. He makes class enjoyable and interesting.

Great Professor who cares about his students and wants them to actually think about the material and not just memorize a bunch of facts.

This guy could teach the feathers off a pigeon.

I would highly recommend auditing any course he teaches. What he teaches you will be invaluable to your intellectual development as a Christian. However, only the very diligent and studious have any strong chance of receiving a passing final grade. His classes are intellectual resurrection but can lead to academic suicide.

When I look back at my time at Lee, I realize that the most valuable things I learned, I learned in his classes. He will offend you and make you think you're crazy, but at the end, your perspective will be much wider and you won't ever be content with "easy" answers to hard questions again. Do yourself a favor: TAKE HIM. Best advice I can give.

He is challenging and is willing to help you learn. You will have to work for you grade but you will know the material and remember after you leave. Rather than being able to regurgitate the material, you will own the material and be able to apply what you learn. If you want to work and know the material take him. If you want an easy class don't.

Skip Jenkins, Jedi Knight. He's not going to coddle you, he's not going to appeal to your sensitivities, he's going to teach you, and teach you well. If you have the emotional maturity of an infant, I could see how this class would be too much for you. But if you want to learn to think critically about your faith and life, there's no substitute.

Skip forces you to think about things from a different perspective. The has very sound logic and is insightful. He does not hold a position just because its popular in Western Christianity. If you want to have a class that will help push you out of religion of cultural norms and into one that relies on sound Biblical ideas then take Skip.

Skip is an excellent teacher of Christian history. He makes you work for your grade, but you will retain what you learn and enjoy the lecture in the process. You can't expect to sail through the class without working, but the work is certainly worth it and is not without purpose.

Dr. Jenkins is definitely tough, but you will honestly learn a lot. Great guy, great teacher but his essay tests are too much for the limited time allowed. It isn't impossible to pass the class, but if we had more time for the tests that would have helped! I recommend him, but you better be willing to study!

Brilliant.

The guy is incredibly smart. He definitly knows what he's talking about. If you are willing to work extremely hard then take him because he is a cool guy. Great personality, extremely tough teacher.

Skip Jenkins is really amazing, for all those haters, you need to come back to the light side. Only sith deal in absolute hate.

Skip Jenkins is an extravagant asset to both Christianity and and collegiate academia as a whole. This guy is authentic.

Jenkins is an incredible professor. He loves his students and is always willing to help you out. He gives a lot of grace if you work hard. It's not an easy class but it's worth every minute!

Dr. Jenkins is one of the most difficult professors at Lee, but his knowledge of the Christian faith makes him essential! Must take Jenkins at least once before you graduate! He's an incredible professor. He makes you think about the faith and helps you develop your ideas. Great for apologetics.

Jenkins gets a lot of crap for being a hard teacher bu the truth he makes you work. it's a fair work load and what you take away from every class is more than worth it. Have to take Jenkins at least once before you graduate. No teacher cares about their students more than Jenkins.

Dr. Jenknins' knowledge about church history and the formation of early doctrines has blown me away. I learned more in one class that I learned all semester with some teachers. His classes are difficult but not impossible. It's addictive! He'll make you fall in love with theology!

He is an amazingly intelligent man. He'll make you want to switch majors. He is challenging, but not impossible. This is college, so just suck it up and do a college amount of work. If you put effort into the class, you will get so much out of it.

I've been to 4 universities, had 8 majors, taken over 140hrs of classes, & I have never met a better professor than Skip Jenkins. He pushes you to grow as a student, but partners with you in the journey & genuinely cares about not only your academic career, but who you're becoming in the process. If you have the chance to take him, DO!

His expectations are high but as long as you do the work, you will do great. Also, if you learn by pictures and drawings, Skip's class is for you!

Man, this professor - one of the best at Lee. Really teaches you how to think. People say he's hard, but honestly ... he treats you like you have a brain instead of spoon-feeding. He makes me not regret going to Lee.

Dr. Jenkins, def one of the most intriguing, and strong Professors I have met. His classes, as always, have been very strong, and fun....I also wonder if when parousing Wikipedia, he knew - That the Cappadocians are a clan of vampires from White Wolf Game Studio's role-playing games Vampire: The Dark Ages and Vampire:-lol-Fyi-R.Brewer

Please...please take any class you can with Dr. Jenkins. He is a total boss who will tear you a new one theologically if you say something dumb. SO GREAT!!!! I learned so much about the heritage and development of the Christian faith.

He has high expectations and wants the best for his students. But if you do the work and put in the effort you will do well. He is very intelligent and has very wise things to say.

Skip is a fantastic teacher- there is NO denying that. However, people on this campus practically worship him, which I find incredibly problematic. This class will broaden your horizons and you will probably learn more than you have in any other class. Just remember that he is just a man and everything that comes out of his mouth is not gold.

HARDEST TEACHER AT LEE!

Skip is a wonderful professor, he really invests into his students. A lot of people have spoken crap about him, but I don't see why. All of his lectures are interesting. Yes, there are a lot of readings and 1 page PRP's, but that's college for you. He is also hilarious!

Do not take Skip without expecting to put in the hours. He is a great professor, but this is by no means an easy class to just get by in. The papers you do are technically one page but with the formatting you use they are more like 3 or 4. No exams until the final, overall good professor though.

1 of Lee's BEST! The 1st day of class, he claimed he's the best teacher of theology. Was put off at 1st, but pay no attention. He'll prove himself correct . He's also a VERY humble person, contrary to popular opinion. WILLING 2 help you succeed! Take him. Knows his material thoroughly. Very funny. Lots of reading. Don't fall behind. Good looking ;)

I took Intro to Theology with skip, and it was amazing!

Does not beat around the bush about ANYTHING, which is refreshing.

Skip is the best professor I have had at Lee. I'm not even in the School of Religion with my major, but he makes difficult information easy for me to understand. Don't take his class if you aren't game for asking why and learning what you believe. Skip seriously brings it. I am humbled to have been one of his students. Legend.

You either like him or you hate him. I think Skip has changed my entire view of what it means to be a Christian. He really cares about his students, even if he comes off like he doesn't. He is hilarious and I recommend watching Star Wars before taking his class in order to fully get his analogies. He is the best!

Dr. Jenkins is an engaging lecturer, really understands the material he is teaching, & a very wise man who will help you think deeply about what you believe. If you read "The End of Apologetics" by Penner, really take the time to dig in. It is a little overwhelming and hard to understand at first but also VERY worth the time to understand.

Skip is one of the only teachers at this school from which I have actually learned anything substantial. I learned more in that class than in just about all of my other classes combined. The final is difficult, but as long as you take notes and study you can pass!

Skip has been one of the most influential professors that I've had here at Lee. I've taken several of his classes and I have grown so much through all of them. His classes are not easy, but worth the effort. Skip is always willing to work with you and to help you improve provided you are willing to put time and effort into it yourself.

He's so respectable. Not hard. Understands his students. Hates to be called Skippy and Skipper. Has a fun personality. Hilarious.

Skip is an excellent lecturer and one of the most intellectual professors I've had at Lee. If you take his class, prepare to be challenged academically and spiritually. You get out of it what you put in.

Skip is probably my favorite professor! He keeps you engaged, his lectures are great, and his personality is perfect for a lecture hall. One on one meetings are something I definitely recommend whether about class or something else. The quizzes are easy if you take good notes during the lectures. The final exam feels impossible but kinda worth it.

The best way to learn is to talk things out. Talk to other students. To prefectures. To Skip Himself. To other Professors. Taking good notes is not enough. It will help you get good scores on the quizzes, but it won't help you on the final which is all memorization. If you learn and understand it prior it won't be difficult cramming finals week.

One of my favorite teachers I've ever had. Brilliant man. Very hard class. Few tests, but 7 papers. Tough grading. I wont get the grade I wanted in this class, but I learned so much about the bible and God that I don't care.

This man loves his students and he loves theology, therefore he wants his students to learn theology and enjoy it. If you want to learn about the Christian faith, I would recommend taking IntroTheo. Get to know him outside of class and he will change your life, my time at Lee would not be the same without him. Overall, he is amazing!

Skip is a really cool professor he engages the students in the material and encourages the exchange of ideas

Skip truly cares about his students and wants the best for them. You can't blow this class off and expect to get a good grade, but if you're willing to to the work assigned to you, you'll do just fine.

Great personality but a very tough class.

Many students will say Skip is a tough professor, but his class is so rewarding. You will have graduate assistants grading your work and they are always kind and helpful. You will read and write quite a bit, but it helps solidify the material. TAKE GOOD NOTES; you will use them on quizzes. I learned so much about my faith through this course.

Skip is the most faithful person I've ever encountered. I'll remember many things he said for the rest of my life.

Skip is one of the best professors I have ever had. While many say that he is "impossible" if you try your best you are sure to get a great grade. I love Skip!

This is a very hard class (but when I took it it was a 1 month summer term, which can account for a lot of the difficulty), but I loved it. There are some long lectures and a lot of class debates and critical thinking. Jenkins really helped mold my debating skills and STRENGTHEN my faith.

1-month online session. He only graded two things during the course, which made it difficult to know if I was on the right track; however, I did get an A (barely). Read ALL directions and ask questions. He will respond if you reach out. Tough, but not impossible. Be thorough in your answers. He knows what he's talking about & expects you to LEARN.

I really struggled with keeping up sometimes because he always has a lot that he can say about basically everything in his field, but he slows down if you have clarification questions. I expected to go in not wanting to pay attention, but he is really engaging and amusing to watch (he once missed his chair sitting down). It is so worth it.

Had him for a 25-day summer session, which made the courseload pretty heavy. Thought he was mad at me for the longest time until I realized it's just the way he enunciates & that he doesn't smile a lot -- but in reality, he's a great guy!! Super friendly & easygoing in real life! Will be gracious if you get behind. Very clear expectations.

This professor is extremely intelligent and knows his stuff! On the other hand, for this summer course I just took with him, expect 2-3 hours PER DAY AT LEAST of work for him and make sure you are ready for lots of essays and a final exam that is very very difficult. One good thing I will say is that his directions for assignments are clear.

I had Dr. Jenkins for summer school in June. Long story short, Jenkins is a fantastic professor, and I would take him again if I could. Very passionate about his discipline, tender-hearted, and kind professor. Even though the class was one month, it was very rigorous (about 5-7 hours of work per day). Do the work, study, read A. Take Jenkins!

Many people dont like Jenkins. But, he is one of my favorite professors! While he may be a hard grader, he is also always available and truly wants to see you succeed and is passionate! If someone didnt pass this class they didnt care enough to put in the work! To which I would ask why are you even in college?. HIGHLY recommended taking him!

I believe everyone that comes through Lee University should take History Of Christianity, as Skip "The Drip" Jenkins helps you understand why church history is so important and how to apply it to your life now. He expects you to do the assignments, but besides his sometimes intimidating demeanor, no one cares more about students than him.

Skip is a little all over the place and may have some controversial views, but overall I quite enjoyed the class. He gives a quiz on Friday, and the lowest 2 grades get dropped. This is the only day every week you have homework and the chapters arent that hard to read. Hes really funny and every class with him is interesting. It is an easy A

skip is one of the reasons I enjoy theology. some of his topics may be controversial, but he is very passionate and from my experience is scripturally sound.

Professor Jenkins is hard, but an excellent professor. If you put in the work, you will learn more from him than from any other STM professor. You must be prepared to take notes. He teaches with a heavy leaning on the actual lecture material and doesn't rely on visual aid. Overall, he's a fun guy who loves to teach and treats his students well.

Literally my best friend. Go get lunch with him or something.

He has you do open note quizzes that apply to your final exam, so I suggest doing them! He is a great lecturer just content heavy :)
