Reviews of professor Leonel Guardado

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Guardado is a great lecturer and cares so much about Theology and his students. He prepared intriguing lectures and readings. There are assigned readings every night, but they are not difficult and he goes over them in class. He encourages everyone to go to office hours and he also held Midterm and Final Review sessions. Great professor!!

Professor has many stories to share. He is enthusiastic about teaching which reflects on students' outcomes. If you put in the work, read the readings, and participate, you'll pass.

He's a great Professor! It's a lot of reading, but if you do each assignment on time it isn't too bad. Plus the content is pretty interesting, was not what I was dreading Theo to be at all! He gives good feedback and is very accessible for any help outside of class. He's also the only professor (that I know of) that learned all the names in class.

I found myself not enjoying this class because it requires a high degree of conformity to a certain political group(left), so that I found myself writing things I didn't personally agree with. He is vague in explaining theological many concepts and it is difficult to understand the points he wants to convey sometimes. Overall he is very kind

Such an amazing prof. He really wants his students to be free thinkers and challenge themselves and their peers. This class was definitely a lot of work (I took it as my EP1) but he was such an amazing prof that he makes it so worth it.

There is a lot of reading but the class is worth taking!! Professor Guardado is great and class is never boring.

Heavy reading due before each class, as well as annotations. Short lectures which made the class more bearable. I would've liked this class if the professor didn't have a god-like image of himself, which is ironic considering that this is a theology class. Got my requirement, but I wouldn't take him again.

Professor G runs a great class. There's a balance of group discussion, lectures, class participation, and interesting content. As someone not particularly interested in religion, I was wary going in; however, I enjoyed the content and connected with ideas about spirituality. He's not always the most riveting, but he's very kind and knowledgeable.

I'm so glad I took theology with him specifically as my professor. He made theology interesting.

Prof Guardado is really chill and good at leading discussions. For a 3000 level class, I expected more writing assignments, but I was pleased that the bulk of student writing comes from annotations on the readings. There is one essay and a presentation which are pretty much graded on effort. Study hard for midterms and finals and you will do well.
