morostheos Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Overall, I'd say it sounds pretty good. However, a lot depends on the reputation of the religion department and the professor teaching the course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially with some of your previous experiences with teachers at your school. Maybe your too young for a line out of "Lost in Space". Sounds like it might be an opportunity to rabble the rousers however. Edited August 15, 2006 by thessalonian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

she_who_is_not Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Some of the texts seem out of place for the course description. If I were teaching the class, I would use the same authors but differents works for some. And I would add Apologia Pro Vita Sua. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norseman82 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 You're at Elmhurst College, correct? I saw in a previous post that you went to the [b]Pope Kwan Do[/b] talk, so I assume you know the campus minister there, Kevin O'Donnell. He might be able to give some advice/pointers.
