No longer offered. It was in Waterloo’s course catalog since at least Winter 2020 (as far back as Open Data goes) to Spring 2021 and last ran in Fall 2020. It isn’t in the 2024–25 or later calendars.

When it ran

  1. F20

Ran in 1 term, Fall 2020 to Fall 2020.

This course will deal with the period of the prophets, e.g., Joshua, Kings, and Samuel. It will examine the uses and abuses of power analyzing the historical narratives and study the conflict between Saul and David, the political as well as the moral rise and fall of David. [Note: Knowledge of Hebrew is not required. This course fulfils an Area 1 or Area 2 requirement for Religious Studies majors but not both.]

In today’s calendar

  • JS 234 lists it as an antirequisite
  • RCS 234 lists it as an antirequisite
  • RS 234 lists it as an antirequisite

  • Insanely informative. Two big papers and an exam with three smaller papers. Not very hard, but, I did have to cram super hard. I learned a lot.

“Hey guys! Is there a list of courses that are considered easy that don't have midterms/finals?”

u/RequiemFear: “JS 130, two medium length papers and a take-home final that's basically just a few of the other papers put together. I put in zero effort, wrote the papers the night before they were due, got a 96. Jim Diamond is also fun to have courses with.”
