Dr. Briley is really enthusiastic about teaching fairy-tales and German literature. She is helpful and provides detailed feedback on all the work submitted. Very approachable too!

Dr. Briley ensured that the course was as interesting as possible by constantly asking for feedback and facilitating in-class discussions with specific guiding questions. I really liked having online reading responses and quizzes instead of midterms. She was a fair marker and I loved her enthusiasm and passion regarding fairy tales! Take her class!

Class was enjoyable and although it was participation and discussion heavy, the discussions and Dr. Briley's knowledge of German literature, culture, and history heavily contributed to my understanding of the reading material and preparation for the midterm and the final exam.

Dr. Briley is definitely one of my favourite profs of all time. She is incredibly enthusiastic about the subject and it makes the course extremely enjoyable. She is a fair grader and gives a lot of direction (most comprehensible rubrik I've ever received) and a lot feedback on assignments. I would recommend taking any class by Dr. Briley

I think it was her first time teaching at UBC but she was an amazing prof. Most of the class had no prior knowledge in german and she made it extremely easy to understand all of the different grammar rules and word structures. She's really nice and really cares about all of her students. Textbook was used heavily and really useful. Exams are EASY.
