Matthew Suriano JWST289J Expecting an A Anonymous 02/20/2024	Great Professor who is passionate and cares about his students. The amount of work is pretty expected for a gen ed course, a couple quizzes, discussion attendance, 2 exams, and a big paper. If you spread out the work it's really not that bad and the readings are actually kinda interesting. You don't need any prior knowledge to take the class but you do come out of this class with a greater understanding of religion and sacred space.
Matthew Suriano JWST289J Expecting an A+ Anonymous 01/12/2021	I took JWST289J online in Fall 2020. Dr. Suriano is a genuinely good person who cares about his students and is really excited for them to learn the material. The asynchronous nature of the class made it a bit impersonal, but you could tell he was sad about this too and really wants a personal connection with his students. There was not too much work, but the paper did take a good chunk of time to write. Overall, I highly recommend taking any classes taught by Dr. Suriano!
Matthew Suriano JWST289J Expecting an A Anonymous 12/31/2020	Prof. Suriano is a very knowledgeable teacher on the topic. If you are interested in comparative religion and the history of jerusalem, this class is perfect for you. I took this class online in the fall 2020. there are weekly quizzes that are very easy and you can have the reading up next to you. the discussion is annoying but isnt that long so it isnt that bad but you have to show up to get attendance points. The midterm and final are both so easy as long as you take notes and watch the lectures. the averages were a 94 and 95. the final paper is annoying so I suggest meeting with the TA because they are the one grading it and not the professor if you have questions. Overall, a good class!
