RELI0140 with Jennifer Ortegren14 days ago

Ortegren is an amazing professor. She is so passionate about the material and genuinely cares about her students. She is pretty flexible with deadlines as long as you reach out to her beforehand, although she does have somewhat stricter attendance guidelines. The reading quizzes are pretty easy as long as you take notes in class, and the two major papers were not too bad either. She brought in some really cool guest lecturers too.

RELI0123 with Elizabeth Morrison16 days ago

I felt like I learned a lot from this class and gained a new perspective on the world through Buddhist ways of thinking. There was a good amount of reading, but it would often be short text with complex ideas. There is a good amount of writing too, but you are able to determine the schedule for your work and get creative with what you want to write about. Overall, I had a great experience in this class!

RELI0100 with Robert Schine19 days ago

I took this class in the Fall of 2022 along with some math and econ courses and it ended up being my favorite/most interesting class. When I signed up for an Intro to Religion class I thought it wouldn't really talk about individual religions and talk more about religion as a concept but we ended up learning about the two religions, Hinduism and Judaism, and the practices and beliefs within them. The course was taught by two professors which added a very interesting yet fun dynamic. Professor Ortegren taught about Hinduism while Professor Schine taught about Judaism. The 2 professors couldn't be any more different in that Ortegren talks very fast and is very engaged with the class during her lectures while Schine is not a very engaging lecturer and talks extremely slow to the point where you could fall asleep. Overall, I really enjoyed this class and I'm very glad I took it as I would have never learned much about either religion if it weren't for this class.
