Reviews of professor Nicholas Schaser

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Nick is extremely chill. His class was usually interesting because he is such an expert, but he often let class discussions go on long tangents about unrelated topics. Sometimes, it seemed like he didn't plan for our discussion at all. There was one paper in this class, but Nick made himself available for conferences or help with finding sources.

I have taken 3 courses with Nick and there has never been a class that is not interesting. You'll learn A LOT about the Bible and relevant topics from him. It's an eye-opening experience. He's also very chill and honestly wants students to get an A, so you'll get a stress-free and enjoyable time going through his classes. Absolutely recommended!

Schaser while he often presents himself as an understanding and welcoming professor is overly self-confident and deeply sexist. He claims Judaism as a "wild fascination" and discusses it in a fetishistic manner. He cultivates an environment that stifles women's voices in order to lift up the voices of mediocre and often contrarian white men.

Nick is an approachable, kind, good professor. He cares about his students and has an open class environment. He gives great lectures and is very knowledgeable on his subject. His classes are "discussion-based," which involves Nick talking for most of the time but what he says is always interesting. Take a class with him if you can.
