This is my all time favorite class. Prof. Draper makes you re-evaluate your life in a good way. Everyone would actually benefit from this class. There were lots of writing to do, but it's mainly about your personal beliefs, so you get to discover more about yourself.

Prof. Draper is exceptional! He's honestly the best prof I've had at UVU. He gives good lectures. Quizzes and papers are tough though. This is actually the hardest and most meaningful class I've had in my life. After taking this class, you might be a different person. He's really my fave!

Doctor Draper looks a bit intimidating. However, he's actually really nice and caring for his students. He spends every class lecturing the whole time. Also the content and the way he explains things are entertaining. But, the amount of time I had to spend on homework was a little crazy. It's very tedious. Overall, it's a good class though.

He knows what he's talking about and really cares about his students, but the amount of time I spent in this class was insane! In my perspective, I feel like it is completely unnecessary. It was really stressful for me. Every class time, he's also extremely crude and dismissive about different topics. If that isn't your thing, I strongly advise you to take someone else.

Orem, Utah
I currently serve as a professor of psychology at UVU, specializing in critical thinking and theory development in my courses. My research focuses on the application of philosophy and spirituality to the practice of counseling and psychotherapy. Clinically I specialize in the integration of spirituality and relationality in a manner that facilitates healing around issues of addiction, depression, trauma, anxiety, and faith transitions. I also consult with organizations and offer workshops on developing self and others in professional, familial, and faith-based contexts.
