Reviews of professor Bryan Brinkman

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
This man is so good at what he does.  He makes his lectures worth coming to, even though attendance was not mandatory, with his style and humor alone.  Take any class with him if you get the chance!

You have to participate in this class to succeed. Weighs talking as a good portion of your final grade

Relatively easy class, just stay on top of things that are due because his organization on blackboard can get confusing

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Brinkman's lectures were fun and full of interesting information, and often tied it back to personal experience. Quizzes are open note and online with a final essay at the end. There is also a midterm and 4 projects throughout the course, all online with ample resources are honestly fun to do. Tough grading but will say why it is wrong.

No tests until the final, but 5-6 discussion boards, weekly easy quizzes, and 4 minor projects. Interesting professor, but a kind of boring class.

Dr. Brinkman is knowledgeable and passionate about ancient history. He does his best to make lectures entertaining. The course content is really dense, but the work itself is easy (~3 weekly Perusall annotations and 4 essays total.) I personally found it hard to keep up with everything, so if you don't love mythology, maybe take a different gen ed.

He is very knowledgeable on the subject. He can be a tough grader and there are few assignments and only 2 tests. Go to class!
