This prof. changed a lot of the course. Now, there are pop reading quizzes, but they're easy if you do the reading. He is not out to get you; he grades fairly. I don't know why he has so many bad reviews, he's a great guy, albeit a little unapproachable. Show up to class, do the readings, participate, and you'll be A-okay.

Anderson is a great and engaging lecturer. Had him virtually for Problem of God and would take the class again in a heart beat.

Going into this class with no religious knowledge, I found myself struggling a lot with material that Prof Anderson expected everyone to know already. The class itself was relatively easy but if you do not have a religious background, especially Catholic thought, then I would not recommend!

Least helpful professor in the CS department. Expects you to understand everything very quickly. Will make you feel like you're stupid.

Professor Anderson has been an incredible professor. I had come into this class with little understanding of theology and he was always very clear, willing to help, and gave in detail feedback. He was unbiased and did not expect us to have particular religious beliefs but rather just wanted us to think outside the box.

Fair grader and a nice prof, however the class is not always engaging. The subject matter is interesting however his presentation of it can be dry. Easy pop reading quizzes, short papers, and a midterm and final which require knowing a lot of material from readings. Okay choice for PoG, but more so for those already interested in theology.

Participation really matters. He expects each student to talk several times a class. Readings are often dense, and the class isn't always engaging. Gives good feedback on papers.

Matthew Anderson is a god among mortals, his knowledge of algorithms is beyond comprehension, and his wit is as sharp as a katana.

Mandatory participation in a class where you don't learn anything. I swear every class we learned topics that didn't apply to the class or were taught a week too late. On top of his horrible teaching, the Homeworks were hard and he doesn't help when you ask him a question.

Professor Anderson is super helpful and will answer even basic questions. Definitely should go for him to satisfy Theo requirement. Easy A if you show up to class.
