Reviews of professor Trevan Hatch

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I took this class my last semester at BYU, he is by far the best religion teacher I had there. He addresses gospel topics with a very scholarly approach, using evidence and step by step logic. He tackled tough gospel issues head on and encourages students to be okay with asking questions and getting uncomfortable. Overall very faith promoting!

Professor Hatch has designed the best religion class in the department. It might seem that he is talking about something different than what the class should be, but if you pay attention everything is related to the main subject Jesus Christ. You will learn more than what is typically a Sunday school class with readings that he provides.

Professor Hatch is not primarily a professor; he is a researcher and his teaching method reflects that. While most religion professors at BYU teach primarily using the spirit (which there is nothing wrong with), Professor Hatch has a much more scholarly approach. He will challenge your views, but does it in a way that builds faith in the long run.

I've hated my experience with other religion classes because I hated being tested on worthless information like, 'who did Moroni write his second epistle to?' Dr Hatch's class was not like that at all. It was so enlightening. We talked a lot about the sociological context of the bible that was so effective in eliminating doctrinal misconceptions.

Disliked at the start, but then found everything taught extremely relevant. He added historical context to the new testament and relationships in it. Unlike any class I have taken before. Treats us like adults and gives ideas to us without sugar-coating (frank). Teaches with knowledge and lets us interpret. Doable reading and assignments. Loved it!
