Having her for one day gives no perspective. Great teacher, demands a lot but you'll leave class having learned something.

A hard but very fair teacher. She makes you think about things that you wouldn't have considered before. I recommend her!

Definately tough things to read, but definately a very fun class. She can go on tangents, but often they're more fun than boring

Awesome person, really keeps you entertained. Really hard subjuct. She curves at the end which is a big help and is willing to give you pointers on how to improve your grade. If you want to learn and have a good time take her.

Awesome lady and class, TAKE HER!!!

No, the class wasn't easy -- but trust me, none of your moral philosophy classes will be cakewalks and she actually made hers interesting. She may be a little quirky (see comment about calling parents) but she's enjoyable. I kept my notes from this class and truly enjoyed the experience.

Anyone who doesn't like Dr. Brokes' simply doesn't like philosophy. It's hard? That's why your parents are paying for it! She's an excellent teacher and always willing to help out after class.

Explains phl right down to the last possible detail. She would spend an entire class on one thing if one person didn't understand it. Very happy with course. Didn't take attendance.

TAKE HER,especially for moral philosphy. her class is more discussion based. you HAVE to do the readings though, but usually theyre not that bad. grading is 3 tests, midterm paper and a final, plus she curves everythinig.ps she goes off on random tangents that are actually really funny

Death is preferable to taking a class with this teacher. She the Platonic form of awfulness. Oh, and I hear that she writes her own evaluations on rate my professor! So you know whom to trust! Ick.

Dr. Brokes was an amazing teacher - i dont know what these people are talking about. she is hilarious, quirky, and relatively easy. go to class and pay attention, and you'll get an A. also, she puts a great gender/GLTB/minority rights spin on almost anything - makes the class interesting and relative to your own life. we had a blast. take her!

Not as bad as everyone is making her out to be..yes, she is a hard grader, but if you go to her she really helps you

Professor Brokes writes her own ratings here and makes her self look very negative, she is really very very easy.

dr. brokes is amazing. if you take her class--you will be a better person. do it.

The only thing I can figure is that the people who gave her a bad review wanted to get an A while doing no work. This is college people! She's so awesome. She will sit down with you and go over everything until you understand it. Such a nice, cool person. The only Phil. Class I ever wanted to go to. One of my favorite classes ever.

Great teacher, really cares for her students. Very clear and a lot of fun in class. Highly recommended

She is the best teacher at St. Joes! I've taken her 3 times, which might sound crazy, but it's totally worth it. She's super helpful and her class is never boring. However, you will have to work for your grade, but what do you expect? Highly recommended!

Simply a wonderful person. So bright but so clear. Really works hard to make even the toughest material completely understandable. Never saw her appear unpleasant in the very least. I really can't say enough about her. I can sometimes understand where people are coming from in their negative reviews of profs, but not with Brokes.Take her if you can

Good class. Mine consisted of 8 students. The discussions were good and everyone was respectful. Although she did threaten to "****ing Kill" us, but then gave us all A's for the semester. She might eat babies though.....

Audre is whats up. It doesn't look like she has many fans but if you've had her for more than a semester you realize how much she cares about you. she'd probably lay down in traffic for her students. get your acts together kids and take her class, she knows a lot and she'll help you if you help yourself

Audre is a fabulous teacher for those who already know a bit about philosophy. The material is challenging but she is always available. HUGE weirdo, but in a good way. She makes class interesting even if it's not about the material. You don't necessarily have to go to class, but to get a good grade you need to.... i know from experience.

I LOVE THIS TEACHER. She understands college. She gives you respect, and doesn't go power hungry. She treats her students as equals, and in return, they respect her back. She is relaxed about rules, but it actually makes students want to follow them. She trusts her students.

she is extremely funny but the material is tuff. my first two assihnments were c's but then i went for help and ended up with an A- in the class. She understands that we have other classes and respects us as people not as students. Great teacher but not a free ride.

Dr. Brokes is awesome. I took her for Human Person and learned so much more then I thought I ever could in a philosophy class. She is a leanient grader and is available for help and discussion always. She bent overr backwards to get me in her Feminist Epist. class which shows how much she actually cares. Best Philo Teacher EVERRR soo funny

She was intimidating at first but just wants her students to do well. She goes out of her way to help out with papers and she enjoys teaching. I really liked her class

She's a funny lady and enjoyable to listen to at times. The material can be rather boring. She has 5 tests that are all worth 20%, which makes up your grade. If you are having any trouble, go to her and she'll actually help you. Nice lady

pretty good teacher but i dont recommend. for a gep course you can prob find someone easier.

It's a pretty tough class, and probably even harder to teach, so I can't blame her for the grade I got. She has a chill personality, and I actually think it's a necessity to have a teacher like her during your college years. She can be a pretty tough grader, but will always be willing to help.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways! I may have nearly failed her class, but she opened my mind to new ways of exploring and understanding art. She is truly intellectual and inspiring. Also the most respectful and fair professor I have had during my college career. Not an easy grade, but you will learn more than you can fathom. Audre rocks!

Great professor, sure she is challenging and doesn't give students all the answers but hey, isn't that the purpose of college? She demands students to create opinions and original perspectives and that is both part of philosophy and the real world in general. 1 large paper, mid term and final and several short assignments. pretty fair.

Dr. Brokes is a wonderful professor! She really cares about the subject and will help you when you need it. Her passion makes the class worth it and you get out of it what you put into it.

I absolutely adore Dr. Brokes. She's hilarious (and curses like a sailor) and super intelligent. Logic isn't an easy subject and she knows that, so she makes it easier to understand. There isn't any homework and attendance is optional. Your grade consists of four tests (two in class, two take homes), a midterm, and a take-home final.

Loved Audre as a teacher. She tries really hard to help you understand and is very accommodating especially when it comes to office hours and rescheduling exams due to a schedule conflict.

Dr. Brokes was a great Philosophy professor. The topic is hard to grasp but if you attend class and take good notes she makes it easier to understand it. She is a tough grader on exams, especially the essay portions. She doesn't assign any essays compared to most philosophy classes.

Dr. Brokes classes are very laid back and easy. Attended is not taken which is nice if you can't make class. The test are much harder than any class so you must study in order to get a decent grade. Midterm and finals questions are given beforehand so you can prepare for them early.

Brokes is tough but clear and knowledgeable. 4 tests (drops lowest), midterm and final. Doesn't take effort, attendance or participation into account for grading. Her class is pretty challenging but doable if you show up and study.

Dr. Brokes is an excellent professor. She genuinely cares about her students and their understanding of the course material. This course can be tricky when taught by any professor but Dr. Brokes made the content very clear and was willing to go over it several times until each student understood. Would definitely take if you have the chance.

Dr. Brokes was a very clear and knowledgeable professor. She inspired me to take up Philosophy as a double major alongside Classics. However, despite my large effort on her papers, my communication with her outside of class, and my great amount of participation, I received an A- as opposed to an A, which I still view as unjustified.

Dr. Brokes is an incredible professor and is truly passionate about philosophy and its moral implications in society. She has made me love philosophy! She is a difficult and picky grader but as long as you read from the text and take notes you should be fine. She is very lecture heavy and only grades off 4 essays and a midterm and final.

Brokes is a super nice woman who knows what she's talking about. The course itself is super interesting and thought provoking, if you're into it. You're graded on 2 papers and a midterm and final, which can be tough because it's hard to know what to expect the first paper. You don't need to actually read anything because her PowerPoints cover it

Many say that PHL154 is what ruins philosophy at SJU (and they are correct!) but I cannot fault Dr. Brokes for how boring the subject material can be at times. She makes the class as interesting as she can and doesn't pile on an unreasonable amount of work; she is also very accessible and willing to give helpful feedback when you're writing essays.

Luvs her topics, lock up and ull be chill gng

Professor Broke is one of my favorite teachers at Saint Joe's. She makes the content understandable and gives real life examples when explaining a topic. She's kind and funny and doesn't give much homework. Every Sunday, there is a weekly online take home quiz. Because of the quizzes, we didn't have to take a final for the class.

Love her. Had clear lectures and made philosophy easy to understand. 5 in-class tests (NO final and NO midterm) if you take good notes and study then you will do really well. She cares about her students and offers a lot of extra credit opportunities

Great professor! Just wants the best for her students and wants to encourage everyone to grow as a writer

Dr. Brokes is great! Definitely tough in the beginning, but if you pay attention and ask questions during class, you will be fine. She also is really helpful when going to her office hours (on zoom). 5 Tests, 2 essays, and weekly weekend quizzes. No midterm or final.

She really is not bad. She has no final, 5 short tests, 10 online quizzes, 2 short writing assignments, and extra credit. If you put in the effort, getting a B or A in this class is not difficult. All the assignments are relatively easy, and she will give some answers if you ask for help. Overall, not bad professor and good at teaching.
