Stephanie Cooper is extremely knowledgeable about the Hebrew Bible and shows a clear passion for what she teaches. She is sweet and wants to learn everyone's name to make it more personable. It meets once a week in person and once on Zoom (which is great). As long as you read the passages for that week and stay on top of the assignments, you will do well. There is a lot of out-of-class reading, though, which gets a bit annoying, and there are very dense textbooks that she expects to read each week. Overall, I found the class very interesting and enlightening as it shows a very different, secular view of the Bible. Keep in mind, though, that because of this content, it will mess with your faith a little lol.

Suriano never disappoints. He loves seeing and talking to students and I can tell he is very passionate about his profession. He is very fair with grading and is willing to work with you and answer all questions. The only complaint about this class was the massive amount of materials we had to learn. Since it was in person, I felt rushed but he made sure to slow down and explain things. Since there was a lot of materials, the good thing was that he had reasonable expectations from us so he would tell us exactly what he was looking for in essays or exams.
