Reviews of professor Gale Watkins

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
He really made the effort to get to know us all, not only by name but personally, and it showed with how he interacted with us. The class was lecture heavy and there were required readings but if you took notes and paid attention it was really helpful on the assignments. He just wants you to make an effort, and if you do is an easy grader.

Prof Watkins is very sweet and kind. His lectures are very boring, and there is a LOT of reading material, but I think it is worth it if you want to build your own/ learn more about Christianity. He's super caring and gets to know every individual. He grades quite easily and gives great feedback.

This was his first semester as a teacher here. He is a pastor at a local church and really knows what he is talking about. He is a wonderful person and is very accommodating. If you take his class, which I recommend you do, please respect him and do your work on time. I would definitely take a class of his again.

He was a very nice and caring teacher, but sometimes his class got a little boring and redundant. He assigned a couple of essays that were fairly simple. I personally would not take the class again because I found it boring considering I knew most of the info that was talked about in class. But overall a very easy class and nice professor.

The class is hard. I'm not going to lie there are a lot of tough readings and you have to talk about it in class and on papers. If you are knowledgeable about the bible it helps a lot. Watkins is super kind though. He truly cares about his students and is a relatively easy grader compared to others I've heard. Tries to break up lecture with videos

Professor Watkins is an extremely good professor in my opinion, and even if you take the class just because you have to, he does not push any ideology on you and I have major respect for that. He truly just wants you to learn and be knowledgable. If you have him for CWV, you're lucky because I have heard some bad stories about other CWV professors.

I loved having Dr. Watkins! His lessons were so informational and I really enjoyed the class. He really cares about our spiritual walks and leading us to an integrated Christian life. He is one of the best professors that I have had at GCU, and I would love to take another class with him if I could! I'm really going to miss this class!
