Reviews of professor Brandon Bourgeois

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Clearly cares deeply about the subject, has a really cool rap of the Iliad. Grades are not difficult. Would highly recommend this class. I found that he responded to my emails within 24 hours, lectures were heavy on getting people involved, and lectures can be engaging if you do the reading!

The class was basically just a reading/discussion of various Latin texts, and Brandon made it pretty straightforward and engaging, for the most part. Lectures were important since he delineated what to understand from each text, and he was very generous in his assessments and overall grading. At times, class got a bit stale, but overall good!

Easy GE but Brandon is uncooperative, difficult to reach by email etc. Lecture isn't necessary and he just uses it to hear himself talk. Take this class with any one else.

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
He is a great professor and for an upper division class it is pretty easy. He loves the subject and is more worried about learning then grades. I would highly recommend this class he truly cares about roman law- don't let the course description scare you. Would recommend - just read and engage in lecture!

Professor Bourgeois is so incredibly knowledgeable about his stuff that you'll spend the first few lectures unraveling the ramblings of a madman. However, the course is structured well enough (and he's a good enough lecturer) that you'll be able to discuss the nuances of said ramblings by the end of the semester.

Brandon said from the start that he doesn't care about grades and only gives grades because he has to. There were no exams, the papers are 1 page max, all quizzes are 10 easy questions online, and classes are just discussion. I found him really easy to talk to and always helpful. Definitely recommend to take as a GE.
