My experience teaching Natural Language Processing (NLP) methods with biblical sources is quite varied. I have taught both novice and advanced students in full semester courses, week-long summer school sessions, and even shorter eight or sixteen hour block sessions. I have also taught students in both the humanities and in computer science. I will thus organize the following article as a report of these experiences focusing especially on the things that I have done that I believe have worked well and those which I think did not worked so well. I should preface all of these remarks also by saying that the methods I use for teaching NLP are only one way to do it. I have had good results using them and I believe that they work, but I also believe that there are other pedagogical methods that could work equally well for a different instructor in a different context.
