Reviews of professor Gary Branham

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Prof. Branham is an excellent professor for this subject because he's a career mediator. There are 3 super quick all multiple-choice tests in class, a few short open-note reading quizzes and questions to answer at home, and two papers. He's a generous grader who will never try to trick you. Class normally gets out at least 15 mins early.

My biggest gripe with him as a professor is the structure of his class. The class lacks balance. Along with that, a majority of the class grade is based on three tests, and it is based on your ability to memorize 300+ lecture slides of content. If you do not have to take the class don't take it. His class has a lot more potential to be interesting.

Took this class because it was required. It has potential to be interesting, but it seems like we just have to memorize a bunch of labels/terms. I did not think this class was interesting but Branham is very nice and I would recommend taking it with him if it is a requirement.

Professor Branham is a really kind and softspoken guy, but he makes this class so interesting! We do group work almost every day and it is crucial to learning the ins and outs about negotiation. We do an inclass stimulation, a few papers and few exams so not many things to be graded on, make sure you are keeping up with class!

Prof Branham is a great teacher. Material is very easy. Attendance is mandatory for a good grade. There are activities every class that are actually really fun. Simulation in the middle of the course but it was really easy and also fun. Only 3 exams (including final) and 2 papers. A few pop quizzes but they are very easy and he always reviews!

Took Branham for negotiation last spring. The course material was not as bad as I expected it to be, but it was definitely a lot of work. He does a test review the lecture before the exams which is nice. Cool dude, knows a ton about the field. He works in negotiation/mediation for the government and applies his knowledge directly in class

Really enjoyed Gary's class it's clear he knows what he's talking about he does do it for a living after all. Class is fairly interesting, but only if you are not interested in the topic at all that won't matter. All the notes were posted on canvas when I took it, there were a few tests, mostly in class small group work, and a couple papers.

Did not put quizzes in the syllabus or announced them at all. He was super bland but unfair when it came to assignments and quizzes. Rushed 3 quizzes at the end of the semester just to get them in.
