Often does lectures for the books that we read (which you should have/ read or even extensive sparknotes). Lectures can get boring, but they are often interesting and will answers to the test. Essays vary, but not a tough grader. If you interact with him and he knows you try you will get a good grade. He is great teacher and very fun.
Best English teacher I have ever had. He actually cares about his students and their thoughts. If you take him for English IV DC then it is mostly about philosophy and there will be lots of class debates. He really loves Shakespeare (and Hamlet) so don't be surprised if you have to read some.
I'm not exaggerating when I say that he's the best teacher I've ever had the entire time I've been in school. I can't recall a day when his class was uninteresting, and while the class is lecture-heavy, his method of lecture along with his humor make them worth the listen. He also legitimately cares about the success and well-being of his students.
He is one of the best teachers that I have ever had, such a quirky fun guy! He is caring and takes peoples feelings into consideration. Had him as my dual credit teacher in high school. Be prepared to read, because there are pop quizzes. Overall, one of the best classes that I have taken.
Best teacher Ive ever had! Cares a lot about his students and makes sure they are able to know the material as long as they put in basic effort.
Awesome teacher making it a great class, even for those like me who do not necessarily enjoy English or writing. He is very for the students and will do anything to help you out, combined with good thorough lectures that help you understand whats happening in confusing novels, makes him all around the teacher you want to have for more classes!
He is a goat.
He is pretty chill.
Mr. Brewsters class is always fun and we go over a lot of intriguing topics in this class. There is a lot of reading that is required for this class but the books are usually very interesting and worth reading.
Overall he is a great professor. However there is a lot of reading and there is a lot of pop quizzes that you need to be prepared for. He has challenged my writing abilities greatly for the better. He will go into depth and analyze the book with you as you read which is very helpful when reading British literature.
Fairly easy, all you have to really do is read and participate. Some times you will have to write but its not too bad. Good teacher fr
He's very patient
Mr. Brewster is a very good and easy going teacher. When I say easy going, all that is done is a lot of reading lectures and projects. This may be seen as alot or a heavy workload but in reality its quick and very interactive! I recommend taking Mr.Brewsters class.
The class is very easy as long as you read the books that are assigned.
Mr. Brewster is amazing at making lectures interesting! We read plenty of books in this course, and his explanations help us create a deeper understanding.
Mr. Brewster is a great teacher who cares about his students. He loves making the class a fun atmosphere and making jokes. He is a diffult grader but always wants the best for you. Be aware of pop quizzes and lotssss of group presentations. Overall Mr. Brewster is the best English teacher I have ever had!
All you really have to do to be ahead in this class is participate in class and do the readings. If you do these things, this class turns out to be fairly easy, as it is mainly just reading and comprehending those readings which he does in lectures.
He is very understanding and patient, he is also the type of teacher to listen and respects students.
Great Professor, would highly recommend taking one of his classes. Lectures are very in-depth and he understands the material very well.
He's an okay dude. He's kind of sarcastic but in a good way.
Mr. Brewster is an Icon honestly. He gives very interesting lectures and assigns thought provoking books. Although the course is reading heavy, he makes the reading process enjoyable. There are pop quizzes, but as long as you read the books youll be fine. As far as essays go there are usually only a couple a semester. Mr. Brewster is the best :)
Mr. Brewster is a very inspirational teacher. He pushes us students to be better writers and readers and really creates a fantastic environment in his classroom. He is a very chill teacher but participation is needed; a very great teacher to have!
If you're looking for a chill English teacher than Mr. Brewster is your guy. We do have a decent amount of work in the class but it was never on a overbearing level. This course has a lot of presentations and group projects, but I think that isn't the choice of the professor, but a requirement of the course.
An overall great professor! He is very patient and understanding when voicing questions and concerns. He gives you plenty of time to complete the assignments. The class itself can be slightly challenging but he does a good job of helping where he can. I would definitely take this course again!
Mr. Brewster forms relationships with his students, and actually cares rather than just teaching us. He makes lectures interesting and gives us a better understanding of the readings.
Mr. Brewster's class consists of a lot reading, discussions, and projects. The whole class is basically centered around a book we might be reading at the time. Because of this, the class is pretty easy if you put effort into actually reading the books and participating in the discussions. Mr. Brewster is also easy going and understanding.
Just be aware of the pop quizzes and you cannot really prepare for them. Do the work it is not usually a lot but it will drop your grade if you do nothing, you will have to put in effort.
He is a chill teacher that encourages a ton of reading along with pop quizzes! He is willing to help you pass the class!
Mr. Brewster is a great teacher who is always there to help with questions about assignments and grades.
Mr. Brewster is a very good teacher and lecturer. The class wasn't difficult since Mr. Brewster doesn't give too much homework other than readings and articles. It was very easy to balance Mr. Brewster's work along with my other classes that give more homework.
Mr. Brewster is a great teacher for the class. He explains the books we read well and lectures over them. In order to do good in the class, you must apply yourself, it isn't hard when you do some work.
He is very easy going about almost all things. I really enjoyed how the class was structured, he did a very good job of making topics understandable. The books we read were engaging though not always the easiest to read. Overall, great class.
Mr. Brewster is an amazing professor. he is very engaging and helps us digest reading material easier with lectures. be prepared for lots for pop quizzes and make sure you read.
The best teacher ever. Take his class rn.
mr.brewster is a very funny and cool guy. Despite reading not being my favorite thing, he makes it fun and interesting through his really good lectures analyzing. Beware of pop quizzes! They happen from time to time. They are easy basic questions though nothing hard.
He is very good at explaining and teaching. He always goes over any book/articles we read to help us all get a better understanding. Expect lots of group work including presentations and Socratic seminars. There is lots of reading as well, but nothing too long or difficult!
Very easy to follow and comprehend what he was going over. Very easy going but will grade you fairly.
Professor Brewster made British Lit as fun and easy as possible. I would 100% take this class again.
The professor's teaching abilities are great and his teaching style is very good. I've understood much more about British Literature over the entire course and its history.
Lectures are very lighthearted and easy to follow. Usually English is my worst subject but Mr. Brewster made the class fun.
He is great at explaining and teaching. When it comes to asking questions and talking to him about any problems, he is very understanding of anything that may come up. He is a very understanding professor who cares a lot about his students succeeding.
Makes literature much easier to understand. Makes the class overall a lot simpler in terms of lectures and explanations. Also very funny. 10/10 humor. Would recommend.
He is very straight to the point, and all the grades are easy to get done. There are some pop quizzes you need to be prepared for, but they are not too bad. All you need to do is show up and get your assignments due on time and you are good to go. I recommend anyone to take this class!
Likes to do quizzes after the reading due date so beware
Mr. Brewster is a amazing professor. He makes his lectures where we can understand the books we are reviewing. Often times he is funny and understands when we have personal issues that affect our school work. He also understands we have other classes to worry about and does not overload us with work. I definitely recommend taking this class.
Works hard to help students understand overall themes in books. Articles and group projects make for easy major grades while also helping to understand material. Overall super laidback.
Mr. Brewster is a wonderful teachers who is understanding and very helpful. In his class we read the materials on our own and he will discuss them further in class with lectures and we'll have tests/socratics over the material. I would highly recommend taking this class with Mr. Brewster. You won't regret it!
He always makes jokes and laughs with his students which is something I love in a teacher. Great guy!
Mr. Brewster was a very nice and easy going teacher, there was a lot of reading but it was all necessary for the assignments given. He was also very understanding and flexible, definitely a great teacher!
Professor Brewster created an exciting and supportive class environment, making learning throughout the year much more fun! The reading requirements were very heavy, but with informative lectures and group projects it made the reading not as difficult. I thoroughly enjoyed his class, and would recommend him to other students needing this course.
Mr. Brewster is a laid-back teacher, just be mindful of the few pop quizzes. He is a little tough on grading projects, but not to the point where he is unrealistic with the grading. You won't have any issues with him as it seems like we are in his best interest.
Professor Brewster made learning about English fun and exciting. The class does require a lot of reading, however, they are not difficult readings. There are not many tests and most major grades come from group projects and presentations. I 100% recommend this class to anyone in need of an english credit.
Mr. Brewster is great at explain topics clearly, and gives good feedback on work submitted. He clearly knows what he's doing, and I would recommend his class to everybody.
Mr. Brewster is one of the good professors at Lone Star College. He does surprise the class with quizzes after a chapter is due for the book we are reading for the quarter. The class is not difficult just as long as you complete your assignments and read the books that are assigned.
He is really nice and takes care of his students.
Mr. Brewster is by far one of the best professors I've had. He covers all criteria for the class in a way that keeps you engaged. I loved all the books we read, and although some were confusing, he made sure to lecture over them so you could better familiarize yourself and feel more comfortable with assignments.
Mr. Brewster is a great English teacher overall. He was willing to meet up with me during class or before/after school to help me with whatever questions I had about my assignments. His lectures are very informative and are good reviews over what we just read. If you do your work/ the readings in the class you should pass it easily.
He always gave us a good schedule and he stuck with it for the most part. Pop quizzes after every reading assignment. Not that much busywork. Very understanding. Provides awesome feedback. ASK QUESTIONS!! Nice person overall.
Great English teacher with amazing lectures and not much homework besides reading assignments, overall one of the best English teachers I've ever had!
Mr. Brewster is great. He is easy going and very nice. He is always there to help and gives great feedback.
Great Teacher, very easy class as long as you pay attention and finish your work on time
Alec brewster is a great teacher. He gets to the point and is laidback.
There are pop quizzes so expect that. Research papers need to be in-depth and the books are moved through rather fast so prepare time to read them.
Mr. Brewster is definitely one of my favorite English teachers I've had. He cares about his students and lectures about all the books we read to help us understand them more. For the most part, he's very laid back and a great teacher.
He is a good professor. Personally I would not change much about his class, the only thing is the readings and the selection of books which I do not know if he has a choice.
Mr. Brewster is a good professor. You need to make sure to be up to date on the material before coming to class because sometimes there are pop quizzes completely out of the blue. Get ready for group projects as there are quite a few of them throughout the course. Overall a good professor you just need to be ready.
Don't come in and think you can breeze through this class. He may seem fragile, but Mr. Brewster is serious as he should be. He is a good teacher with decently clear criteria and he is passionate about what he does even if it doesn't look like it.
He is very cool and willing to work with you. There is a lot of reading but not too difficult. Had a lot of group projects and presentations. Would often give us short pop quizzes over the book we are reading about small details in the book.
He is a great teacher and does a great job at lecturing us, but in a way that helps us understand what he is teaching. He gives very good feedback on papers, assignments, etc. He does a great job of keeping us engaged in the class and what we are reading.
He always gives the best advice and puts in the effort to help you if you need it. Very interactive with the class and is well respected.
Mr. Brewster is a great professor that makes all assignments and readings easy to understand. Most of the major grades are project-based and occasionally essays but I personally prefer this over a test. There is quite a bit of reading but Mr. Brewster always breaks down the books part by part to make sure everyone understands.
Mr. Brewster is a well respected teacher and will help you understand parts of assignment or homework you do not understand. He will also explain the book very thoroughly to help the people who didn't finish or doesn't understand the book
Mr. Brewster provided a good mixture of lectures, assignments, and projects. His class was consistent, and predictable once you got the hang of it. However, there are pop-quizzes regarding large portions of books that can be quite overwhelming.
Mr.Brewster is a great teacher to have for English. He encourages conversation about the subject that we are on.
Mr. Brewster was an awesome professor that helped me gain a much better understanding of literature. He was extremely helpful and was always willing to help come up with ideas for projects or research papers throughout the course. He does a great job at connecting with the class and his lectures are very informative and he is often hilarious!
He is a great teacher. Lots of reading and annotating.
Mr. Brewster is a good professor. I would 100% recommend his class. We did multiple group projects/presentations, so make sure you get a good group that actually does their work. Besides group presentations, research paper, and readings, he doesn't give you much homework. You get a few "work days" do work on these assignments in class.
Good teacher. As long as you read the class is a breeze.
Mr. Brewster was a great professor. He's very calm and laidback; aside from the readings that one has to do, he really doesnt assign that much homework. Not only that, but its difficilt to get lost in his class as he always goes over the readings and explains each book with great detail. Overall, an awesome teacher with a great attitude!
Great teacher. Very understanding and cares about the subject and his students.
He has great lecture plans and is very inclusive when it comes to questions about the novel. Always keeps the conversations and lectures interesting with commentary.
He was a very understanding and thoughtful teacher that made sure you understood the criteria. There was never homework and the major grade were long but what I would expect for a college course and not too hard if you read the material he assigns.
I definitely reccomend taking this course, the teacher is great and never rude or strict. Even though it is a lot of work it will get you ready for college and help be prepared for everything that is to come.
Does a class discussion to go over every book we read asking questions to provoke interaction within the class. Also uses group projects and presentations as a teaching method. Material is conveyed clearly.
Mr. Brewster is a very kind and understanding person. He gives a lot of assignments that may seem difficult at first, but then once you start each assignment it's not that bad, and sometimes, you even end up enjoying it. His class does involve a lot of reading and writing. He gives a lot of easy daily and major grades to help your average.
I definitely recommend using this professor! He is hilarious and is very respectful towards all his students.
Mr. Brewster is one of my favorite teachers because he balances lectures and hands-on learning. A lot of teachers just lecture and talk all period and the information isn't learned because they never provide anything that I can learn by myself. So I like how he gives us time and activities to help us learn the material.
100% goes into depth with the things we go over in class. Will explain difficult to understand articles or stories. Doesn't make you feel ignorant for not understanding certain things.
He is very professional about how he teaches and grades. He values participation and likes to make sure everyone is on track and doing their work. I can respect how he treats us as adults and treats the class as it is a college class. He doesn't make things easy but things aren't extremely difficult either.
Mr. Brewster is a great professor, and the class was challenging but not too hard to get a good grade as long as you do the assignments. There are many group/partner projects that help boost your grade and are easy as long as you follow directions. There are lots of presentations, but they help you get more comfortable in front of people.
Brewster is a pretty fair teacher, just make sure you turn in your assignments on time!
Mr.Brewster is a great teacher who always thoruougly explains each assignment and always provides feedback and responses to questions. We had multiple group presentations that were fairly easy and a couple of tests and socratic seminars. As long as you participate and do you're work, you'll get an A!
Mr. Brewster seems to be a mild man, but once you break open his shell, he is hilarious. This man will answer any question you have about the books that you read, or himself. I mean my class has asked him the last time he went to laser tag. It was so random, but he answered it anyway. His online lectures are very helpful.
Mr.Brewster made taking the course a breeze. He was very informative, very open to questions, and ensured understanding.
Mr Brewster makes English class accessible to all students. Even for those who would find this class uninteresting, Mr. Brewster finds a way to make the class exciting, and make reading enjoyable. I would definitely have Mr. Brewster again.
Mr. Brewster is such a good teacher. I personally loved his class. When it comes to essays he can be a tough grader. You do have to actually read the books that are given in class to understand the discussion and quiz/test that go on. There are alot of group projects and presentations that are fun.
Overall liked Mr. Brewster's lecture style but I don't like the way he did much else. He assigned far too much busy work and group projects that don't further your skills in English.
Really amazing teacher and he knows how to teach. Helps you out when needed, and doesn’t make you feel dumb when asking questions. 10/10 would buy again
I like professor Brewster due to his use of many different kinds of pop culture references that most students can relate to.
mr. brewster is a great teacher. to be successful in his class, just participate and do your work on time!
Overall very good teacher. As long as you don't procrastinate you will do fine. Make sure to read because there will be pop quizzes, but they are usually just simple questions about the book. Also, it is nice because you don't have to write many essays compared to other classes!
I would highly recommend having Mr. Brewster as a teacher! He really cares about your grade and is considerate of your time. If you get your work done you will be totally fine. He has been the best English teacher I've had so far.
He's very honest and he wants to see everyone succeed. So he actually cares for students and he'll push you to care.
Mr. Brewster is an amazing teacher and is very great at helping students with anything they need. He has amazing lectures and makes sure students get everything they are taught.
Overall, the course was super interesting, the teacher was nice, and the coursework wasn't obnoxiously hard.
Mr.Brewster is a good professor. Overall, he assigns many books throughout the year, so keep with your readings if you have him. There are also a few presentations, so be prepared to be okay with speaking in public and in front of groups of people.
Mr. Brewster's style of teaching is great. He knows how to keep lectures and lessons interesting even though the material may be difficult to read. If you pay attention in class and participate you'll do great.
Mr. Brewster assigns many books throughout the course, but alongside them, the class is given articles to annotate. These articles help students to understand the material they're reading and connect it to bigger ideas and themes.
I really like this class and Mr. Brewster. He is really nice and the class is pretty easy. As long as you pay attention and read the books, you should be fine. All the projects are in groups, and they were pretty simple to do. I think he is a great teacher and he explains things well when he is lecturing.
Professor Brewster is not only an amazing teacher but an amazing person as well. He is very good at getting points across and I have never been confused by anything he has ever said. As long as some effort is put into his class, a high grade is almost guaranteed.
He is a great teacher and I love the way he teaches! His style of teaching is just like the way that I learn. He makes his lectures fun for us and the class is very interactive. I enjoyed reading Fight Club and how collaborative his class is. As long as you do all of your work, the class is not difficult.
Definitely one of if not my favorite English teacher in my highschool. Decent work load but not excessive, fair grader, likeable amount of reading, solid course.
This professor is well versed in British literature. He thinks critically about students’ answers to his questions creating a personal and engaging atmosphere within the classroom. Group projects, in-class assignments, and quizzes over readings are common, meaning grades are primarily based on participation.
If you are looking for an A in English 1302, or 01, don't pick him. He grades very harshly and is picky on paper even though it is tier 1 English. His teaching is good, but paper are harshly grade, and they make up 60 of your grade. Personally, I'm kind of bad at English but if you want an essay A, than don't pick this class.
I really enjoyed Prof. Brewster this summer in his BritLit 6wk course! Not a hard workload and easy-to-make weekly deadlines (not daily). Read Beowulf, Sir Gawain & Hamlet, he gives awesome explanation videos, + discussions & annotations, 1 test, 1 research/analytical essay. Super easy to handle and I had a great learning experience! Def. take him!
My experience with Mr. Brewster was definitely a positive one. I would have to say he's one of the more educated and engaging English teachers that I have had over the years. Reading is a must. Most classes I could get away without reading the book through alternative summaries, etc. Really amazing class though! I highly recommend him.
I had a great overall experience with this teacher, but I found that he grades very harshly. It's important to follow instructions carefully if you want to achieve a good grade in his class. I typically had about an hour of homework each day, but as long as you put in the effort, you should be fine. Just be prepared to invest a lot of time.
Good class set up as well as reading materials. The discussion prompts were great. My only issue is the way he grades essays. I think he is too nitpicky when it comes to feedback/corrections. As a writer, I was surprised/confused by a lot of his notes. Writing is subjective in some ways, and that needs to be acknowledged. Great prof, though.
Prof. Brewster's class is a great experience. Manageable workload, interactive lectures, and helpful supplementary materials like discussion videos. Leveraging unstuck ai for study prep alongside the textbook really boosted my understanding. Recommended for an engaging British lit dive!
I liked this class a lot. Prof. Brewster's lectures are very helpful, but it helps to keep up with the reading. Clear instructions, gives feedback and answers emails pretty quickly. Would definitely take another class from him.
Class was great--prof was nice and helpful with feedback. I'm going into STEM, so I wasn't too excited about a writing class, but it was pretty interesting. The workload was manageable, and Prof. Brewster was easy to get in touch with.
I loved his class!
I really enjoyed this class! Professor Brewster helped me a lot with my writing and was always available if I had any questions. Everything in the course is set up pretty well, so there are no surprises about what's being graded.
When he grades your papers he doesn't give very specific feedback, simply "could've expanded more here", like what? And if he doesn't think the word you used is the best word to use he'll mark it. Just very confusing and hard grading. And it's a British Anglo-Saxon literature class, so take that how you will. Lots of reading.
Great prof, interesting class. The lectures were interesting, and he was quick to respond to emails if I had any questions. I would take another course from him.
Normally, I'm not a huge fan of writing, but Professor Brewster made this class pretty easy. Instructions were clear, not a hard grader, and he got back to me quickly if I ever had a question. Would definitely recommend.
Great class--I'm not too big into reading fiction, but professor Brewster made it fun/interesting. Overall, the reading and assignment load aren't bad, and he offered extra credit at the end of the semester.
Lectures are mainly used to express information. Sometimes videos and group projects can be used to show information. Material is expressed clearly.
Kind of an unpredictable grader, hard to understand him, which makes it hard to ask for help. Definitely doesn't play favoritism, but grading was super tough. Definitely not an easy class wouldn't retake him.
Great class, learned a lot about writing. Prof gives good feedback and will email you back pretty quick if you have questions.
Nice setup for an online class. Good videos/instructions.
