Awful
Do not take Religious Studies with Kate. Way too much work for a gen ed class.
Awesome
Professor Temoney is really awesome, if you take her for any class it will be the greatest time. She gives lots of opportunities to get your grade up and she is very understanding. She knows that students can be loaded down with work and school. She is just the best. I would definitely take her again.
Awesome
Prof. Temoney is a great prof. There isn't a lot of work and she doesn't give pop quizzes as well.
Average
Class isn't too difficult at all. You'll have to read a lot though. Worry not because they aren't heavy readings. You can pass her tests and quizzes as long as you pay attention to her lectures. She required three books, but you won't have to read the whole book. We only read like 2 or 3 pages of it. However, for the other books, you'll have to read 2 or 3 chapters.
