Reviews of professor David Brick

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Brick is kind and helpful.Did not at all feel like an introduction class during the first few lectures - felt as though basic/beginner knowledge is crucial for understanding the course but it was not provided. Lectures are reused b&w text heavy powerpoints, which is fine but not ideal. Exams are short answer which makes grading slightly arbitrary.

Professor Brick is extremely knowledgeable about Hinduism beyond the scope of the content of this intro course. His lectures are engaging as his passion for and knowledge of the subject is clear, while also being interactive with opportunities to ask questions. Exam content is quite predictable as he provides a comprehensive study guide.

As a Hindu student taking an Intro to Hinduism class, I was a bit apprehensive about having a non-Indian non-Hindu professor, but David Brick completely dispelled those worries. He understands a lot about the religion and approaches material with a knowing appreciation for the religion and culture. He's also really funny, sometimes even on purpose.
