happened to teach religion classes as well. It was actually my aunt's father. What's interesting is that we were talking about him once and one of my cousins said something to the effect of "Grandpa is an engineering professor? I thought he only taught religion classes."

Anyways, I have no idea as to how difficult he made his religion classes because I never took them from him. My personal opinion is that the courseload should be representative of a college class because you are getting college credit for it. However, it should also be treated like a lower-level (non weed-out) course - not like an upper-level engineering course (which was typically about 3 hours outside class for each hour inside class where getting an "A" in the class was difficult to do). My opinion is that a 2 credit hour religion class should require about 4 hours outside of class for reading/homework and that if you are willing to put in that work it should be easy to get an "A" in the class.
