Reviews of professor Benjamin Laird

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Prof. Laird is okay. His lectures are boring. I like the class but it is hard to stay awake.

Dr. Laird was not great in undergraduate Greek. He "assigned" homework but never actually made sure you did it or if you got it right. He would have you say if you did it or not and then give you a 100%. He couldn't give you feedback because he never saw your work.

He reads from the powerpoint to teach and tells us to take notes but the powerpoint has a paragraph of stuff to read/write so you never end up getting all the notes. Lectures are pretty boring so I just do hw most of the time. Attendance is a must for points, so thats the only reason I showed up. Most work you'll do is 2 or 3 papers in a semester.

BORING- he made Acts boring, that's difficult. Quizzes are weekly and unnecessarily hard. Exams are impossible to do well on. The textbook is required for everything and the amount of reading weekly is unfair to ask -- he wants you to make the class your one and only priority. Went to class every day, read the book, studied, and barely got a C.

I really like professor Laird but didn't like a few things about the class. A lot of the times the lectures did not match up with what we were reading in the textbook and quizzing on. You can tell he is very passionate about what he teaches, but he is very fast paced. The lectures aren't the most exciting but they are interesting.

Easy class if you read your book. Professor Laird is a cool guy and you can tell he really cares about the subject and his students. Tests are long but pretty easy.

The lectures are not in correlation with any of the quizzes or tests. I usually just work on other assignments during lectures. He is very passionate about what he teaches but he teachers with the theological terms, which can be confusing.

I was excited for this class, but after a few lectures I realized that the material wasnt being presented in exciting ways. He has a very monotone voice and reads off bland slides which have nothing to do with the tests/quizzes. There are 2 papers and weekly quizzes. The textbook is the key to getting an A in this class.

Professor Laird is very structured. For BIBL 110 every class he talks with slides up. As long as you pay attention and do the weekly reading you'll be fines. The hardest part of this class is the two papers: first is 1500w min, 2nd is based on a book no-one told you about. Otherwise he's kind of boring to listen to, but you still learn a lot.

Professor Laird has a genuine passion for teaching and is really knowledgeable about the Bible. He is very friendly, but his lectures can be hard to follow with how fast he goes through some slides. His slides have way too much information on a lot of the slides. His quizzes can be decently hard, but pretty much everything can be found in the book.
