RELC 1220

This class was probably the easiest I've taken at UVA. Your grade is based on 12 assignments; there are no papers and no exams or quizzes. Lectures help you complete the assignments, but slides are also posted online. Spittler is a good lecturer and very kind-- she's interesting to listen to, and the content is actually pretty interesting sometimes. I went to maybe half the lectures and am getting an A for sure. The grading is done by TAs, so it depends on who you get, but their grading should be very easy as well. If you need a gen ed req or an integration elective for CS, or even just a GPA booster, definitely take this class. #tCFF23

This was by far one of the easiest class I've ever taken. All lectures were recorded and your whole grade consisted of one small writing assignment each week. Readings aren't really that necessary to do either as long as you listen to the lectures. You should still take the assignments seriously though because the TAs won't just give you 100% for completion. But there's no tests or curveballs.

This is an incredibly easy class. That being said, if you are someone who is interested in the Christian religion in a personal way, or you already are a Christian, don't take this class. Professor Spittler is nice, but really only tells a one-sided story of the Bible, making it seem kind of ridiculous. She basically advocates that the Bible is racist, sexist, and wacky. She comfortably mixes canonical and non-canonical texts, so parts about Jesus killing people (not in the Bible but in The Gospel of Thomas) are mixed in with actual Biblical text. So, PLEASE if you're curious about the faith don't take this class. If you're interested in the Bible only as another ancient myth, then it's very enjoyable. Writing assignments are easy but the criteria for grading is unclear.

DR. SPITTLER IS AN AMAZING LECTURER! She's so relatable and her lectures are entertaining. I'm never bored. The class isn't too difficult if you put in some effort. TAs are super kind and approachable: shout out to Elizabeth :). Take this class.

Incredibly easy A class, Prof Spittler is a great lecturer and the course content is very interesting. The readings are quite dense (as you are literally reading the New Testament), but you honestly can just skim through what's directly relevant to the homeworks and as long as you are decent at writing, you are pretty much guaranteed an A as long as your TA is lenient with grading (they usually are). Lectures are recorded and slides are posted online, attending in person is extra credit, but if you are the type who does better with recordings, doesn't want to walk to class, or prefer to watch them sped up or rewind, the option is very appreciated. She does have a policy of not using laptops in class to record notes, but that's mostly just because writing things down physically helps with memorization (and you'll do fine honestly if you put effort into the class). If you need to get a GenEd requirement out of the way or are even looking for an easy class to boost your GPA or fill out credits, this is perfect, low commitment, and there's basically no pressure in the class aside from getting your homeworks done on time.

Honestly, this was the easiest course I've ever taken at UVA. 12 weekly assignments with in-class extra credit assignments were the entire grade. This also counts for some College gen ed requirements, so if you want an easy gen ed class, TAKE THIS CLASS (only offered in the fall I think). The content was also interesting and quite easy to understand, even if you aren't religious or aren't Christian.
