This was by far the best class I have taken at UCLA. The class examines Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and Protestant branches of Christianity. It was informative on history and compared all three to each other in aspects like theology.

Vroon is an excellent professor. He is kind, passionate, and flexible with his students. He presented the material in an objective manner and allowed students to have some interesting discussions about the material. He truly is a bench mark for all professors to reach.

I personally recommend this class to anyone who really wants to learn the subject matter, and; no matter how much you know about Christianity, there are gallons of information (history, theology, eccleiciology, etc.) for you to learn in this class.

The class:
This was the first time Slavic 40 was offered: Christianity, East and West. It was EXCELLENT because it offered a relatively fair, unbiased look at the three branches of Christianity. We focused both on history and theology, considering the similarities and differences of each branch (Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and Protestant). TAKE IT. Many different people were interested in it, and I'm telling you that it's worth it. Intriguing stuff.

The professor:
Vroon is GOOD. Period. So good that I want to take him again. Sure, he's a little unorganized and not always focused. Sometimes we'd go off on tangents for a long time or explore little details that were not extremely important. Still, it shows his desire to teach, his flexibility, his openness, etc. He's approachable, fair, extremely interesting, passionate about what he's teaching, good to his students, knowledgable, thought-provoking, willing to yield, and everything a good professor is.

So, it's not too hard of a class because Vroon just wanted you to know the material: it's straight forward. It wasn't too much work, but a fair amount to get you to think and understand. Tests were fine. Took a long time to get grades back, though.
