Amazing professor, one of the funniest professors I have ever had and probably will have. Very understandable and his lectures are amazing even if we are talking about very depressing things.

Dr. Brillman is an awesome professor who is very passionate about what he is teaching. The class is great but he is better!! I took Slavery and The Unfreedom with him and i learned so much and he was a great teacher.

I had such an amazing experience taking this class. He made the class fun and always cracked jokes throughout his lectures. He genuinely cares about his students and is a great person overall. Everyone needs to experience a class with Dr. Brillman at least once. I will definitely take another class with him.

Dr. Brillman is the best professor I have had so far at SCU. I am currently taking C&I with him and he makes the class very engaging and interesting. He is passionate about what he teaches and he wants all of his students to succeed. Also a funny guy. Take one of his courses - you won't regret it!!

Fantastic lecturer! He only grades on a couple of papers but the class is super manageable. He is a bit of a tough grader but if you speak up in class he will like you and be an easier grader. Honestly just talk/ ask questions and he will like you. He is also super caring and understanding.

Dr. Brillman was an amazing professor. He genuinely cares about his students and their succeeding. The reading can be heavy and confusing, but the class lectures explain it well. I highly recommend going to office hours as it will really help any paper you have to write. Overall, one of the best professors I have had at Santa Clara.

Best teacher I've had at SCU. His lectures are very interesting, and we had weekly discussions on the topic on Fridays so the class was interactive. Of course, this meant you had to show up and participate. 3 short papers (1 assigned every week, you pick which weeks you want to do it) plus a final paper. He claims to grade hard but IMO he doesn't.

This is a pretty interesting class and his lectures are really funny. There's also no exams.

Professor Brillman is my favorite professor thus far. He's so kind, understanding, funny as hell, and loves his students. He would always compliment our class as a whole, and made sure we knew how much he cared about us and believed in us as a whole. He makes his lectures interesting even if you don't love history. Reading and writing is manageable
