Campbellsville University / H / Dwayne Howell

Don't get too excited about an easy rating. The amount of work isn't overkill, and most of the "notes" you take are in your book, so I chose to highlight rather than re-write everything most of the time. Languages do come fairly easily to me, but this is not a conversational language, and as such requires more studying because you can't really practice it. Dr. Howell does a wonderful job of teaching the course and makes it entertaining, but like all foreign languages, everything is cumulative. Each test/quiz is a reflection of the current unit and every preceding unit. I enjoyed the class thoroughly but it isn't a breeze. Just ask a dead Hebrew.

Dr. Howell did a wonderful job conveying information. If you've had him for Intro. to Old Testament, you'll notice how much of those notes spill over into this course, but as the Pentateuch is part of the OT, it's to be expected. There were a lot of notes, but it wasn't overkill, as he presents the information thoroughly rather than hurriedly. Tests are hard, there's no study guide, just your notes, so take good ones, but it's definitely not impossible.
