liberal arts degree. No offense, but even "difficult" BYU religion classes were cake compared to Chem-E Fluids or even Math 112.

Definitely a quote by someone who has no idea what they are talking about.


That said, BYU is kind of in a rock and a hard place on that one, since their religion classes are accredited they can't just be an institute-level course. If someone graduates in religious studies at BYU, it has to be akin as someone graduating in theology at another University.

So BYU students should expect their religion classes to be somewhat academic. This makes it harder to feel the spirit, and I would have preferred more institute level, but BYU religion classes were trivial and simple. Even from the "harder" teachers such as Susan Easton Black (her classes were fantastic).

The only religion class I dropped out of was Victor Ludlow's Isaiah class. The syllabus wasn't hard, in fact it was rather interesting, but it was obvious that it was going to be a huge time commitment. Something I couldn't afford with engineering classes.

Ludlow's class was the only religion class I took that actually even tried to resemble a 3 credit hour technical class.
