Reviews of professor Joseph Stuart

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Prof Stuart is an amazing professor. He is so caring and will help you with anything you need. You just need to ask him. His lectures were long cause the class was long but I kept super engaged. Also, if you have questions, he is happy to stop the lecture and go off topic to answer questions. Definitely recommend. Not an easy A but worth it .

Professor Stuart is one of the best professors I have ever had - and not just in the Religion Department. His lectures are full of information and he really encourages discussions in class. Class is always inspirational and is set up in such a way that any question you have is answered in a way that helps build you up.

Easier than you thinkThere are reading quizzes at least once a week, but you'll be fine as long as you ID the important themes/objects in the reading. You're required to read 3 books, but the quizzes are easy. (he gives you the questions ahead of time and picks from those). Grading is very lax and "if you give a crap, you'll get an A"

Lots of reading! You'll be reading literally hundreds of pages of academic articles throughout the semester, in addition to two books. As you complete this reading, you'll be quizzed on very specific details that are buried in the text and that are tangentially related to the main topic; take note of (seemingly) insignificant information.

this is my last religion class for credit at BYU. professor stuart is the best religion teacher at BYU (he knows his material and is humble about it) Just keep up with readings and go to class. only con is his tests are REALLY specific. just regurgitate. NO BUSY WORK IN CLASS. you learn lots in lecture. well balanced between spiritual/intellectual.
