Reviews of professor Carlton Chase

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Prof. Chase was great! I never thought I would like theology, but he made the class amazing! I thought the class was going to be heavily focused on Christianity, but he focused on different kinds of faiths, that be religious or spiritual or anything else! He was very open to new ideas and ways. He def gives hippie vibes.

He's a talker and assigns a lotttttt of reading to be done before class twice a week that you have to leave a comment on. Very tough on citing sources. Midterm and final was essay heavy. Not a very easy class to manage when you have many other classes.

I hated Theology but Prof. Chase is a gem. He offered materials from diverse thinkers which changed my whole perspectives on religion. Make sure you show up to every class. If you're shy, you can also talk to him after class and that counts as participation. Tough grader on papers, but if you use creative mediums, he's likely to give an A.

Discussion posts with articles before each class starts very simple but gets difficult and annoying as class goes on. For a religion class there is a lot that doesn't seem necessary. Would not recommend.

Honestly, the class itself is very interesting for a basic theology class. However, he gives insanely long modules to complete for homework that are not even worth doing. Actually doing them takes hours. Participation heavy. You sit in a circle and talk.

Do not take this professor if you care about your GPA. This professor does not teach anything about theology, this professor basically teaches a gender studies class. You will have futile homework due before class every day and you will be forced to engage in an hour long lecture about his journey through the Congo

Prof Chase is an amazing teacher. No matter what your background is, you will feel seen. His approach to theology is so far from what I expected. You will read a lot but it's all very interesting and current. All of his assignments are easy to understand, he gives you so much material. You can tell he really cares about his students.

This teacher will keep you reading but it is definitely not your typical theology class. The criteria we read is very openminded and interesting. the class is basically led by the students and there are no tests! He's honestly the best teacher I had and this is coming from a business student.

Prof Chase did a great job of finding interesting topics to focus on. However, the class lectures can feel like constant rambling. He occasionally goes off track, spending 20 mins on a random topic. In addition, there is a lot more homework than one would expect per class. I recommend organizing your time to do it b/c he is not kind about lateness.
