Reviews of professor Stefan Bronner

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The teacher is very impersonal and the grading standard is very bizarre.I just missed one assignment and he gave me a zero for this part.I tried to talk with him and he told me that he randomly selected the homework to give grades,it was my own problem that I did not have grades.He is very irresponsible,he doesn't care about the grades of us.

Really great lectures. I expected a basic class on modern German history, but many of the concepts presented were extremely esoteric and focused on philosophy and art. I really enjoyed it, and I feel like I learned a lot.

Class time says 5:30-9:00 but we didn't stay past 7 once. Our homework is to watch the film ahead of time, then post a reaction video. There are 4 surprise essays throughout the semester (only 1-1.5 pages) that you write in class, but super easy if you paid any attention to the previous discussion. He is funny and relatable and I'd take him again.

This class was awesome. I actually enjoyed coming to class and learning what the professor taught. There is no homework, no tests and your entire grade is you coming to class, talking, and a project that's due at the end of the semester. It was so interesting and not difficult at all. He's German and makes the class actually enjoyable and fun.

I took this class thinking there wouldn't be a lot of work. You have to watch a 2-3 hour film every week on your own time and it's all in German. 2 video responses to the film and 1 page essays due every class. Not to mention attendance is mandatory and you have to speak in front of a 200 person class in order to pass.

This was the easiest class I've ever taken at UConn. There is a one page (not very detailed at all ) film analysis due every week after watching a German film on your own and 4 of them are graded at random. I got a 100 on all 4 for putting in very minimal work. There is an attendance sheet for each class and it never goes beyond 2 hours.

Very interesting class, very good professor. 1/3 grade participation, 1/3 project (you work on the entire semester), 1/3 feedback you give to others' project. easy grading criteria, very interesting topics, professor bronner does a great job involving other students and getting a conversation going, I actually felt like I learned something here

I think the content of the professor's lecture is very interesting, but all the grades of this course are graded by TA. But the TA scored very low, and She did not reply my emails. I rewrite my film analysis as required, and I also went to the writing Center of the school to revise my paper, but I still got a very low score.

Bronner was a great professor, always gave insightful critiques of German culture, but his lectures would sometimes go on for too long and the material would confusing at times.
