Reviews of professor Terry Breese

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
One of the best professors at UCF. His tests are hard but few in number and not a high percentage of the overall grade. He is quite a fun professor. He puts more effort (and grades) into engaging simulations and lectures rather than exams. As long as you participate in the simulations, know his powerpoints and write decent papers you will do fine.

Professor Breese is super fun and extremely knowledgeable. There's a few big simulations that you should be in class for but other than that it's pretty standard.

Textbook not required from a student standpoint but recommended. Absolute gem of a teacher, really cares for his students and is a pretty easy grader. Lectures are kind of boring but he has interactive modules which really make the class fun. Only 2 test and the rest are writing assignments which was good for me. take him if you get the chance.

Simulations of historical events fully immerse you in the role of people who were actually there, giving you a much closer understanding of their objectives in relation to the overarching political ramifications. You learn how to negotiate with characters who have different personalities, interests, and values than your character, a vital skill

This adjunct professor doesn't lecture well, mostly personal tangents or history without really covering diplomacy or foreign policy, and admitted that he cannot work Canvas. His quizzes have material never covered, and he expects much reading. Grade mostly comes from participation in haphazard acting simulations of international conferences.

While not technically mandatory, you should show up. He is a great person and lecturer, he grades easily, and ultimately just expects you to give an honest effort and you should get an A.

Take this class! lectures are boring but the interactive games and activities are so much fun! As long as you do the work, he grades very easily. He really knows what he's talking about in depth and cares for his students. This class will push you out of your comfort zone at times but you will be glad it did. Highly recommend!
