Reviews of professor Joseph Braun

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
New professor, but did a really great job. Understanding with absences and make-up work. Relatable and easy-going. Reading is o articles attached to the syllabus for 5 question (with 1 bonus) quizzes a week (less than 10 quizzes a semester). Final is an op-ed that is less than 800 words. Go to class and listen to the lecture - easy 400 level course

Braun cancelled a majority of the classes throughout the semester and never really made up for the missed classes. He was very hard to get ahold of if you were going to miss class and often took weeks to grade exams and presentations. Although his class is very easy, he just reads off the powerpoint slides the whole lecture.

Professor Braun gives interesting lectures, but very few of them. The assignments are relatively easy, but he takes a very long time to grade which can be frustrating.

For this course, there is only 2 group presentations, and a midterm and a final. So if you do bad on exams this is not for you. However Braun is a good professor.

Braun is my favorite teacher at UNL. He knows a lot about the subject, his class is not too much of a walkover where it feels pointless, but it is definitely easy. Basically, show up to class and somewhat pay attention, skim the readings, and you will be fine.

One of my favorite professors I have had at UNL. Extremely knowledgeable about international relations and political science as a whole. Weekly quizzes over readings are straight forward. One test and a final paper make up the rest of the course work. He wants people to do well and will do whatever he can to help! Great class and great professor.

amazing guy and class! Very knowledgable about international relations and such and also strives to make you likewise. Caring about his students and understanding when it comes to attendance, work load etc. Only have about 5 things all semester for your grade so make sure you study well, and read what is required. Would recommen the class for all.
