RELI
The Journey Within is class that causes you to ponder the spiritual and yourself on a deeper level. Professor Maria cares deeply about the material and is very passionate about what she shares. There are no concrete deadlines for readings/essays, and the class ebbs and flows at its own unique pace. Oftentimes, as others have mentioned, due to this lack of structure, there is a lot of off-topic conversations and lectures that occur. However, if you are looking for a solid introduction to religion and philosophy in a low workload environment, this FYS is a good option to take.

This is a great choice for a first-year seminar. Professor Maria is extremely passionate and knowledgeable about the material, and there is little work each week, only a couple of outside-of-class readings. The class, however, is very unstructured which often leads to off-topic conversations and long rants, which are still interesting nonetheless.
I loved the course material and Professor Maria's passion and knowledge for the material. However there is little structure in the class which often leads to both deep conversations and irrelevant ones.
