Reviews of professor Isaac Arten

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Arten's class is very reading heavy and at times, you'll receive 150+ page readings that you will have to do a reading report on as well. You have a reading report due every class and papers and quizzes are based on lectures, but he provides powerpoints on Canvas for those.

THE BEST FOR INTRO THEO! He's so sweet and always willing to help and he's obviously passionate about theo. I found the class boring because I'm not interested in the material but he tries to make it engaging which I appreciated. 4 papers, canvas quizzes, in-class completion points, and a final project. Def take Arten to fulfill this gen ed!

Professor Arten is an amazing and caring professor. His assigned readings are meaningful and lectures are interesting. He makes theology present in today's society with a variety of different topics and issues. Not a challenging class, and very impactful ideas.

Dr. Arten always trying to help students. Before take this class, I knew nothing about theology. His lecture and reading assignments changed my perspective and it is a amazing course. There were a lot of readings and writtings since I took accelerated course. Make sure to read every assigned reading and lecture, then you will get good grades.

Professor Arten is a very nice guy and cares about his students. However there is an insane amount of reading expected. You dont really have to read though but reading helps for quizzes. Most of the time there is no power point and he just talks which can make it really difficult to pay attention.

Professor Arten is easily one of my favorite professors on campus. You can clearly see his passion for Theology, and care for his students. The class is an easy A as long as you put in the required effort. There are no exams in his class or a final. At the end of the semester, you have to write a book review, which is easy (I didn't even read it).

Easy A. There are reading reports you do online on a doc with a group, and he grades it towards the end of the semester. lots of readings but no tests, just a few online quizzes here and there. there are also 4 essays you write and since it's about religion, you can give whatever opinion you personally have & connect it to the readings. easy grader
