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.

Warning Will Robinson! warning! warning! warning! 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. ;)

Yeah, that line got me too... I think I can handle this, and worse come worst, I have the phatmass pham to help me out ;) I'm hoping to rouse some rabblers however... Here's hoping I can speak up!

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.

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.
