Brilliant course, brilliant lecturers, brilliant topic, extremely well thought-out approach to such a mind-blowing topic. I highly recommend it to anyone with even the vaguest interest in the topic.

An interesting course. Delved into some heavy material. Wish it would have closed the course with an overview and added information on the origin of life. But, glad I choose the course.

El curso es de mi mayor interĆ©s pues recientemente he venido explorando temas teológicos, e históricos relacionados con la religión y, precisamente este curso se me hizo sumamente interesante por los aspectos que maneja; sin embargo considero que los instructores poseen amplios conocimientos pero les faltan estrategias de enseƱanza ya que mĆ”s de una ocasión vimos en los videos a estudiantes que habĆan perdido el interĆ©s o simplemente estaban dormidos y eso es un aspecto que hay que corregir pues refleja el punto que menciono. QuizĆ” haya que apoyarse de instructores jóvenes que traigan nuevo impulso a los temas y que los profesores asignados sean quienes supervisen la enseƱanza y los contenidos. Creo que puede mejorar ese aspecto. Gracias

Covered a broad range of religious beliefs about the afterlife. Solid overview of Darwin and evolution as well as good videos e.g. Dawkins, Hitchens, Harris. The videos of actual classroom delivery with students provided a realism to the online experience. Both profs. were excellent teachers with the necessary skills to handle sensitive topics.
The course could be improved by more clearly written assignments. The content of these assignments was appropriate but the word structure was too vague and in some cases disjointed.
Excellent course. Well done Rutgers.

I loved the beginning of the course and the information about Darwin. I may agree with Dawson, but I find him too darn smug. I once watched a documentary about intelligent design, Another scientist told him how lucky he was to have such fame, wealth, and good health, He asked him if he died and found a God,what would he think? Dawson's answer was and I'm not exactly quoting but he

A new course with new material. The course is in the beginning stages of evolution, just like the human psyche. Perhaps someone will refine it in time but it is a very good course, especially considering nothing quite like this has been presented before.

Could be more crisp. As it is undergraduate course in the university, a bit of extended (out of core point) lectures are given.
I enjoyed and learnt many new things and ideas!!
Big Thanks!!

This is a course for those who have not spent any time delving into comparative religion and testing their own traditional (family taught) belief systems with thoughts of act versus "trut."
