Easily one of the best teachers at Brigham Young University. Extremely fair and academically minded. Funny, explains things well, and always willing to work with students. Unless you try not to, you can get an A in this class.

Probably the best religion teacher I've had while at BYU. He makes class exciting and engaging, as well as fun and laid back. Focuses on doctrine and discussion. If you have the chance to take a class from Bro. Fluhman, DO IT!

Best religion teacher I've had. Very fun and involved class discussions. You have to pay attention and take notes, but there are only two tests and two 2 page pass/fail papers.

Bro Fluhman is the best religion teacher i have had at byu. i liked him so much i also took his 330 class. his lectures are really good! definatly take his class if you can.

Very good and fair. Actually gives a fair work load for a two credit class. If you go to class, tests are easy, very good lecturer.

I LOVED his class. He is by far the best religion teacher I've had. He's very passionate about the Gospel, and he's incredibly articulate and eloquent. I think he's also very clear; I didn't think his tests were too difficult at all, like others mentioned

Best religion instructor I've ever had. Teaches with the Spirit and dynamic. You have to do several little 2 page "what have I learned" papers and you do have to study for the exams but I thought it was an easy and inspirational class.

He's a real genuine guy. He wants you to do well. He has great orator/teaching skills. He does a great job of feeding off of your comments in class. He's pretty young, but has much to teach. It's pretty amazing seeing him on fire when he speaks.

He is my favorite teacher religion or otherwise. He is charismatic and eloquent and has passion for what he teaches. He has great insights and loves what he does. He treats the students as his equals.

Great lessons. INVOLVES STUDENTS. Treats students as his OWN PEERS! Study Guides very helpful. Know those and your bound to score in the nineties. THOUGHT PROVOKING. Very honest and humble in presentation of doctrine and theory.

Great teacher. Class not jumbled up with busy work. Assignments are good and you will learn a lot but tests are a little harder than most religion teachers. He is worth taking

One of the best teachers I've had at BYU. I usually space out in one-sided lectures, but he opens class up to discussion and is a lively orator, very energetic and sharp. Workload is light. His class changed my life in a small way.

THE BEST teacher I have ever had for a religion course. Period. Three cheers for spencer fluhman!

BEST RELIGIONS CLASS YOU'LL EVER TAKE AT BYU, I PROMISE. HE'S AWESOME. HIS CLASSES ARE HILARIOUS AND HE REALLY HELPS YOU UNDERSTAND. AND IT'S EASY. HE'S NOT INTERESTED IN BUSY WORK AT ALL, HE JUST REALLY WANTS YOU TO LEARN SOMETHING.

Easily my best Church history professor (I took all three semesters). He was the only I teacher I had who willingly tackled controversial questions. Ironically, however, once we faced them we found there was never any reason to worry. His class is one of the few the directly fueled my testimony.

If you are wanting the highest quality lecture BYU offers, this class is for you. The exams are fair, for once. It will require study and articulation, but your grade will be fair and not inflated or deflated. By far the most moving class I've had as a university student. It's inspired me like nothing else. Best rating I can give.

He is, hands down, the best teacher I've ever had. Not concerned with tedious busy work, but wants you to understand concepts and see things differently. I'd feel invigorated after the classes. He's very knowledgeable and respectful of questions and comments; I can't imagine a better teacher. He's awesome! My 2nd class from him, not the last. Great

One of the best religion teachers you will have. Take his class or forever hold your peace.

This was an awesome class. He gives very interesting lectures. The tests are kind of difficult, but he tells you what you need to know. Very funny teacher with great stories. I learned a great deal about Church History in his class.

Brother Fluhman is a spiritual giant and inspiring teacher! I loved his class because he always brought the Spirit and he was so down to earth. Don't leave BYU without taking a class from him!

Best teacher at BYU, amazing lectures, you look forward to class everyday

The first day in class Bro. Fluhman had me crying, he was so funny. I loved his class because he kept it applicable to life. There were times he said things I know I needed to hear, and the Lord was inspiring him. It was an awesome class. He really cares about the students and has a huuuuge passion for the scriptures and the church.

awesome, awesome teacher! Only uses the scriptures, so no other texts necessary. I looked forward to class everyday and felt the spirit each lecture. Bro. Fluhman has amazing insight on the D&C and brings an appropriate amount of humor into every class. Exams are based largely on lectures. Definitely take from him! Funny guy!

he is the funniest guy around! he makes learning the material (which is already very interesting) fun. i learned so much about American Christianity. he is funny and professional at the same time. take this class!

American Christianity: brand new course & Fluhman is perfect for the job. Interesting lectures and class. Basically just write a few papers, ace a take home exam, and this class is a breeze. However, there is a lot of notes/material for a 2 credit class. He's the man and this is a great class.

Lectures are very detailed. He just rattles off notes, details and facts. He is a great teacher and is funny but this is a new class and so he's figuring it out. There are like 5, 2 pg papers and not much reading. 99% of the exam is from class notes. HE also lets you have a sheet of notes for the test! Easy but TONS of details

I loved the class. The amount of information he gives you is INSANE, but one of the first religion classes I've taken where it didnt feel like sunday school or seminary. Class was not mandatory, but if you didnt go you are screwed for the tests. Lots of notes, but overall great class.

Great teacher. Hilarious and has lots of energy, but brings the spirit into class. He was a little picky on the tests, which were mostly short answer. Great class.

I loved this class. It brought a whole new look the D&C. It really came to life with the history, indepth look at the revelations and church history pluggs. I love the D&C now and I will take any class by Brother Fluhman that is offered. He is quite possibly the best teacher I have had so far at BYU.

He's a fun, insightful teacher. Very open to student feedback especially since this is a new course.Kind of heavy on the reading but at least he doesn't quiz or test you on it.Brings up interesting issues.The tests are easy--based all on lectures, so take very good notes.His exams are very straightforward and he gives you a review sheet.

Bro Fluhman is an incredible lecturer. This was the first class in which I could easily pay attention the entire time each lecture period. He is lively, articulate, and quite humorous at times. It was also nice to have a religion class with unfamiliar subject matter (Rel 353). I recommend this course to anyone who asks me about religion classes.

hilarious teacher and wonderful class. if you go to class and take ample notes, you will get your A. he keeps you entertained while learning about the doctrine in the scriptures, which is a hard thing to do in my opinion. take this class from him. he's a good man.

Bro. Fluhman is it. This guy is tons of laughs and really is passionate about the doctrine. He knows his stuff and teaches well. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A MANAGABLE RELIGION COURSE, THIS IS IT. This is how religion courses should be. and apparently according to the tomale by his name, he his hot.

Fantasic professor with the gift of gab. Understands the subjects thoroughly and keeps the atmosphere lively and enjoyable. Very highly recommended. Tests require you to study, but the questions are clear, plus he will review your test after the TA grades it if you disagree with anything. No attendance policy. No textbook used except D&C.

Favorite teacher at BYU. Period.

My favorite teacher at the Y, as this was my fourth class from him. He's funny and entertaining, but also serious and interesting--the perfect combination, imo. Best teacher around!

Brother Fluhman is amazing! He is energetic, knowledgable, and just so full of spirit and the Spirit. The study guides are very helpful for the tests. Do your reading, and you will definitely get more out of class discussions. My testimony grew from this class.

Great Professor who loves what he does! This class really taught me a lot and the class is really interesting. (There is so much thrown at you though). This class really teaches you about other religions and how to get to know them. Fascinating!! Wished the class was more often. I didn't do any reading and I got an A-. Tests are not bad.

Great professor! Teaches doctrine, not his opinion. He's hilarious, engaging, encourages discussion but keeps it on track. Excellent lectures, spirit-filled, and filled with historical context - he loves the stuff and makes it come alive for you. Tests can be hard if you don't take notes.

He is my favorite teacher ever. I took a second class from him because I loved his class so much. His tests are hard enough that you have to study, but not too bad. His lectures are very entertaining, he makes everything interesting. He really cares about students and getting to know them. Take his class if you can!

Oh man this class rocks. Br. Fluhman is incredibly entertaining and beyond knowledgeable about the topic. Every class, I laughed my butt off and learned a lot of awesome American Christianity. Book is optional. Tests are fine, just review. LOVED HIM!

American Christianity was by far one of my favorite classes I've taken at BYU. Brother Fluhman is HILARIOUS but absolutely brilliant and I learned SO MUCH from him. He makes class interesting with his humor and I was always excited for class. You had to write a few 2-page papers, a midterm and final, both of which I got a 100% on. Easy but great!

He is very passionate about the D&C and knows his church history. Pay close attention in class because his midterms and finals are directly from topics he discusses in class. The lectures are fascinating and he always tries to get feedback and keep people engaged. Great sense of humor and a great class to take.

Brother Fluhman is an amazing teacher. Assignments and tests are not bad at all as long as you go to class, which, believe me, you will enjoy doing. He is hilarious and inspiring. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND him as a professor.

Tends to ramble and trail off the subject then expects you to know what to study for the tests. This makes the class a bit hard but lectures are very enjoyable and you get to learn lots of random facts.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this class and Professor Fluhman! If you want entertainment and to be taught this is the class for you! Tests are easy and lectures are incredible. Take any class from him that you can!

Awesome teacher. Lectures are so engaging. Not afraid of exploring doctrines that other teachers get squirmy about. Doesn't make Doc & Cov a church history class which I liked a lot.

Second half of D&C: Fluhman was entertaining and I learned a lot. He is very passionate about Church History and makes you want to learn more. Class isn't that difficult if you don't miss any days and take diligent notes.

Best lectures you'll ever attend. All tests are class notes, with light supplement from the textbook. If you read "American Jesus" along with the class it adds to the clarity.

By far most entertaining professor I've had. Prof. Fluhman knows and loves what he's talking about, which makes lectures even more fun. Tests are hard, but the he makes class is worth it.

Great professor. Brings a lot of energy to class and is passionate about the material. His lectures were very thought-provoking and I found myself thinking about the ideas outside class. Grading is fair (one midterm for which he gives a good study guide) and assignments are useful (10 short essays during the semester).

Honestly, Professor Fluhman has been the best professor I've had here at BYU. His tests are hard, but I've never felt the spirit so frequently in his class. He knows the doctrine incredibly well, and knows how to tie in the context of revelations with the text itself. I plan on doing whatever it takes to take the second of D&C from him.

Brother Fluhman is an amazing teacher! Yes his tests are hard but he will help you if you have questions. Class is never boring and he always comes to class with a smile. He will help you with anything. I would recommend any class from him!

Take American Christianity from Professor Fluhman!He is hilarious and energetic yet I always walk away inspired. Tests can be a tad tricky but other than that, reasonable work for a two credit class. And he adjusts bad questions! One of the best professors I've ever had

Loved loved loved Prof. Fluhman! He is a master storyteller! He tells the history in such a way that leaves in an imprint in your mind so you remember it for the tests! Lots of reading, but he doesn't check it. He made UT history interesting

Professor Fluhman is the man. A professor doesn't get better than him. Hilarious, insanely intelligent, very open-minded, and all around a good man. Totally reasonable as far as grades and tests go. I've taken two classes from him and hope I can take more.

you have reading and a responce due before every class with a larger essay on a book due at midterm and finals. The Midterm was just two essays and everyone did very well the final was harder with multiple choice and an essay. Lectures are very engageing and he is quite funny. He is open to suggestions on changing course load such as essay length.

Dr. Fluhman is AMAZING!! Very animated, enthusiastic and passionate about both the subject matter and teaching, which is a great combination. Work load is a little high for a 200 level class, but all the assignments are worthwhile and help you learn a lot. Definitely take this class from Dr. Fluhman! He is interesting and funny!!!

Great history class. Professor Fluhman really helped me love history. Very great in office hours to help students. TAKE YOUR ESSAY IDEAS TO HIM to review before writing midterm/final. Two easy essays per week. 2 essay midterm and 1 essay/multiple choice final. Hopefully he changes the multiple choice because they were diabolical.

Professor Fluhman is a very entertaining teacher. He makes lectures interesting with his extremely high energy,thorough knowledge and side facts. His class is easy, if you do everything. There is quite a bit of reading and writing. An essay was due over the reading every class, but getting an A is quite manageable if you keep up. He's pretty great!

Professor Fluhman is the best. I loved this class so much. There was an essay midterm and a final that is half essay and half multiple choice. There were two other essays on books that you read and a writing assignment each week (they are pass fail though). Make sure to include as much detail in the essays as you can because that is what he likes.

Fluhman is one of the best teachers I have ever had. He is absolutely hilarious, and might be the most historically and religiouslly knowledgable man I have ever met. It is a hard class, but it was a great class.

This class was tough but Fluhman is my favorite professor I've ever had. If you have an interest in religious history, do it!

Prof. Fluhman is the best D&C teacher by far! He is incredibly enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I always felt the spirit in his class and the assignments were all easy and helped students grow spiritually. Written assignments due each week along with one midterm and the final. Tests are simple but confusing at times, making them a little difficult.

You are making the biggest mistake of your life if you don't take a class from Prof. Fluhman. He will change your life.

I laughed and I was inspired pretty much every single day in this class. Fluhman was never afraid to "wrestle" with the tough subjects and the guy is just hilarious. Also, I learned a lot. #dancegang

Love him! amazing teacher with a passion for teaching. Readings are not hard with a one-question EASY quiz at the beginning of class for attendance. He made me laugh every single class, so genuine, cares so much. HIGHLY recommend. He struggles to write test questions sometimes but is great at taking feedback and gives back points for his mistakes.

Love this guy! Tests - multiple choice rough, but he's lenient on the writing part and offers rebates for ?s most the class got wrong. He gets sidetracked, but his rants are hilarious and he hits on all the main points you will need for the exam. Be sure to read as there are (super easy) quizzes on the textbook and it sets the stage for lectures

Prof. Fluhman is one of the best teachers I have ever had-he loves his students. However, this class was very difficult. You have to pay attention to details DURING his lectures to know material for the tests that are really hard. There was also a 500 word essay every friday based on reading. Textbook helps but you need to know lecture details!!

Prof. Fluhman is a wonderful professor. He is very caring to all of his students and gave rebate on exam questions that majority got wrong. The multiple choice section of his exams require a lot of studying and even then were rough. BUT he is very VERY generous on his writing sections. He is understanding and easy to contact for meetings/ questions

TAKE FROM PROF FLUHMAN!!!!! Every lecture was engaging, funny, and educational. Also very caring- often asked our class for feedback, and gave us lots of extra credit. Weekly essay and lots of reading. Not an easy A. Time consuming, requires high-level analysis skills, and challenging tests. But it was super rewarding- HIGHLY recommend!!

Dr. Fluhman is AMAZING! He is caring, funny, witty, and makes class so much fun. He clearly knows his stuff and is passionate about history. His tests are insanely hard and the study guides aren't helpful, but he takes out questions that most people miss. Definitely a hard class, but if you put in the work, you can do well. Take a class from him!

Prof Fluhman has the most interesting and engaging lectures but the test are SO hard! So be ready! There are weekly assignments, 2 big tests, 4 books to read, and one 10 page paper. He is hilarious and so caring, but sometimes the class felt too difficult. Overall, it is an interesting class that will challenge you.

Professor Fluhman is one of my favorite professors ever! If I could take every history class from him, I would. He is super flexible and willing to work with students. We had input in nearly every major paper or discussion. It was a lot of reading, but you could skim it and be fine; daily attendance quizzes on general things from the reading.
