I took him for intro to theology, and it was way harder than it should have been. If you didn't agree with him, your opinion was wrong. Isn't really respectful of people who are not Catholic. Is an extremely tough grader for an intro class, especially theology. Do not recommend if you aren't interested in theology!!

Professor is a scholar, first and foremost. Unfortunately, one whose lectures were very hard to follow, and necessary to practically transcribe (luckily all classes are recorded). Prioritize his lectures for papers and exams and you'll do ok. Grading of papers is subjective on his part, as there is no grading rubric to go off at least so heads up.

Mr. McGrew was new to teaching but very open to new ideas on how to improve the course. You should prepare beforehand but the readings aren't long and you could technically get away without reading. Mr. McGrew gave us a study guide for the exams and answered any questions we had. Exams weren't too tough. Super helpful, and kind professor.

Professor McGrew is a really nice guy but the class is extremely hard for anyone who is not religious or familiar with theology. There are lots of readings every night and discussions about them in class. Attendance is mandatory and affects your grade, and expectations are very high. Its not the worst, but if you have a better option, take it.

Dr. Mcgrew is a great professor, but more importantly a better person. When I was his student, I could tell that he cared for all his students, and he is a really smart dude! One tip I could give his future students, is to always read his assigned reading, although it is not necessary, if you read most of his reading, you will for sure get an a+!

My mental health has been put at risk in this class. Do not take it.

I would not recommend taking Professor McGrew, for an intro class, he makes it much harder than it needs to be. There are easier teachers. Too much work, not clear in his lectures and overall just has too much going on.
