Professor Volkmer is very knowledgable and detailed in his lectures, however he spends the majority of the semester focusing on the pentateuch, primarily Genesis. Lectures tend to be dry and boring, but your only homework is to read the whole Old Testament and write a current event paper. Take this if you want an easy class.

He is really boring but his face is nice to look at! The class is super easy and he is a nice grader. This was my favorite class!

Volkmers class is really easy. If your looking for engaging coursework and captivating lectures that will leave you asking for me, you probably won't find it here. He is very mundane, does not take attendance, and drops the two lowest pop quiz scores. As long as you attend class at least once a month, you'll pass.

He is such a great teacher, I thought he provided both views, not equally all the time but he still did. At the beginning of the year I did not really listen but towards the middle I put my computer away and really listened and im so glad I did. He is so intelligent and wish I could take more classes with him.

Not as good as Talley, but knows his stuff and lectures are usually pretty good. The problem is that he lectures on stuff but doesn't really TEACH it. It's best to just listen in class than to scribble down everything he says. Not the most organized, though, and not a fan of his tweeting system at all. But otherwise very easy prof.

Super easy class! A great class to take if most of your other classes are hard. 2 tests (all ppts on blackboard), tweet, easy pop quizzes, and NO PAPERS TO WRITE! Just read the OT. I'd still recommend Talley if you want to learn more about the OT. Volkmer shares a lot of his personal views and doesnt get into all the books (mostly just genesis!)

Very nice and cares about his students a lot. He makes assignments so that students really learn. While the class (Pentateuch) focused mostly on Genesis and we didn't even make it to Deut, I learned so much. The material is fairly challenging, so be ready to take notes and pay attention.

Prof volkmer is an excellent dude. went to oxford and has excellent wisdom in the OT. Class requires you to read the whole OT which is where most of your grade is based on, but he shares a lot of insight throughout his class, a truly sweet man of God. TAKE HIS CLASS!!

Good professor. The only major assignment is reading the entire Old Testament. This makes the class fairly easy, but it does take up a ton of your time. A couple tests which are easy.
