Reviews of professor Paul Broyles

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Dr. Broyles is a fine professor. He gives very good feedback on papers. He's a bit awkward, but a nice man. HOWEVER, do not take HSS120. It is the most irrelevant class and it's not needed to graduate. The class is not worth it, but I would take a different class with Dr. Broyles.

He is a little hard to get comfortable with at first but he was super nice and cares about students. His class was easy to follow along with and the assignments were mostly papers and some group projects that he was always willing to help with or answer questions. He was an easy grader and his classes were a good mix of discussions and lectures.

Great teacher. I enjoyed his classes.

Dr. Broyles is passionate about English, but lectures are so long and boring and it is hard to pay attention for the duration of class. Bad part with that is that he is really big on participation, so you will be graded not only on physically being in class, but how well you are focusing on the lectures. Also, a lot of assignments and annotating.

Prof. Broyles is definitely one who takes time to get used to, but he undoubtedly cares about his students. I took this class at first unsure how to go about this class but Professor Broyles is so ready to readily help students succeed.

Dr. Broyles is one of the best professors I've had at NCSU. If you don't like Medieval Literature, or you don't like English courses, his classes aren't for you. But if you enjoy reading and discussion, his classes are amazing. He isn't nearly as awkward as people say, and his lectures are fascinating and informative if you're interested in them.

Dr. Broyles is a solid choice of instructor for this introductory CHASS course. This course was paper-heavy, had a group project that carried a great weight, and required class/group participation. "Educated", which is required reading, is a solid read, but was done NOTHING with, in class; good read, but no follow-through. Nice man & very helpful!

HSS120 is a heavy reading class, and Dr. Broyles will assign a lot of assignments, so make sure that you are ready to do some work. However, he is one of the nicest and most caring professors I have ever had. He is caring, and all he asks is that if you are struggling, please talk to him instead of struggling on your own. Extremely sweet!

He's horrible, he talks to hear himself talk and he doesn't explain things well. Even his feedback on assignments is unclear and unhelpful. Overall, the class itself is an easy A, but Dr. Broyles made this class extremely boring and it was hard to not zone out when he spoke. This class isn't even required, so drop it there's no point taking it!!
