That's why engineering professors should only teach engineering.
And so forth...independant of how hard the religion classes are.

Why should a university-level religion class be dumbed down? This isn't Seminary.

I don't think anybody said anything about dumbed down

Why wouldn't we expect BYU classes to be rigorous--all classes for that matter.

Great point, can't have it both ways. Either accredited or not.

Religion is accredited? But is taught as a seminary not

Yes, religion is part of the accrediation at BYU and none of my religion classes were taught "like Seminary"

This is so far from believable

It's true. They are only two credit hours each. You can look it up.

I believe rcbyufan is doubting the 12-15 hours/wk of homework, not the 2 credits

In my opinion, the problem is the inconsistency. There's a reason certain courses fill up before the others. My freshman
