Reviews of professor Paul Broyles

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Dr. Broyles was amazing! ENG 490 is my favorite class I have taken so far at NC State, and a majority of that it because Dr. Broyles made it fun. He goes very in depth when lecturing and lets the discussion go in the directions that students are interested in. Guys, he made a 400 level class easy and fun! Definitely take this class.

Dr. Broyles seems like a nice guy, but his lectures are boring and, at least for HSS 120, offered no real value to the learning process. While he would update grades semi-consistently, the grades page on moodle had the most infuriating layout that at no point did I actually know what my final grade in the class would be.

Dr. Broyles is a good professor, but he tends to drag out lectures so it can get boring. BUT, I can tell that he genuinely cares about his students well-being. He is a moderately tough grader, but he gives great feedback. The class itself has so many assignments that are just busy work and there is a decently book that is required to read.

Bro is so so nice but please do yourself a favor and do not take HSS 120. It is pointless. I'm sure he is great in his English classes but skip this one. He is genuinely a caring professor though and will try his best to support and help you.

I took Prof. Broyle's class on Chaucer, which almost entirely revolved around reading the Canterbury Tales in the original Middle English. He was PHENOMENAL. Classes are entirely discussion based, and he does a great job at letting students discuss their ideas or confusion (it was a difficult text). He teaches literature the way it should be taught

I loved Dr. Broyles! He made class fun to attend every day and has such an incredible level of care for his students. Be prepared to read however, he likes to throw a quiz in every so often to make sure that people are understanding the material. He has been one of my favorite teachers so far, and I hope I get to take him again!!

This class has been a transformative experience. From epics like Beowulf to Shakespeare's sonnets, Dr. Broyles artfully weaves intricate connections b/t authors, genres, and time periods, fostering deep appreciation for literature's power to reflect/shape society and transforming nearly 1000 years of English literature into an exhilarating odyssey.
