Greatest teacher for English. He's deteremined to give you a chance of suceeding. The English dept. should set him as the benchmark for excellence
A great english teacher who cares about students.
oh my god he is the best professor on this planet he is so helpful , cool , and of course easy to get an A+ he should be head of the english department i don' t think i'll ever have a professor like him. so take him as professor.
mr. judell is above all, knowledgeable, open minded, interesting, and genuinely wants his students to gain success from his teaching. his committment to his students is evident, and his lectures are always sprinkled with humor. he will be the one professor you'll remember when you graduate.
I think he is much hottter then credit given. Hotness comes from within also.
A very unique personaility and gives english a humorus twist when teaching it. Need more Professors like him!
The BEST eng teacher u could ever imagine. Movies shown in class are AMAZING. He teaches us to be individuals and we are helped expressing ourselves. THNX JUDELL!!

Coolest prof there is!!! Definitely take this class.
He's the bomb.
Judell rocks!!! He's funny, relaxed, and attentive. He gives you alot of respect for the effort you put in, but expects you to do your best. He also kinda reminds me of Woody Allen
He is a very good teacher, and he helps out a lot
Prof. Judell is a great teacher. He is the reason I came in to class on time every morning. His class was something I looked forward to. He helps you to become a better writer and in class there is sooo much fun. Everyone should be so lucky to have a teacher like him.
Very funny. Great teacher
Judell was one of my best professor yet. He makes the class more interesting with his humor, odd films, and stories. He is so flexible when it comes to papers and is willing to work with you for whatever. Though he doesnt give A+'s, if you do the required essays nicely, you will end with an A.
He is an brillant teacher!The assignments he gave did not restrict my creative outlet and I am very grateful for that.I had the chance to explore my writing style and voice in his class.Expect a hefty, but enjoyable workload(1 paper per week.Above all, he is funny,a grammar sage&an awesome person.
Absolutely wonderfull professor, very helpful and funny. You look forward to his class everytime. There is work to do, but its not a burden at anyway since his assignments are so free and interesting. You end up learning a lot about writing in the process. Highly recommended
He is very helpful, funny, and he is very nice. He always finds ways to keep classes interesting. His essay topics and discussions are interesting. His short films always help in terms of brain-storming for essays. Highly recommended!
wow, he is good. you will definitely look forward to going to his class.he makes class lovely, makes you rewrite paper if you want to get an A. Always willing to help you. He is a great professor. take him and you will not regeret.
He Rocks!!!
he is nice, funny and helpful.Highly recommended!
There was a lot of freedom in the writing assignments, which kept the class from being boring. He's also amusing and very accesible, should you ever have difficulty with anything. Better than any other professor I've had yet.
This is the best professor. You have to write some papers, but they are neither difficult nor long enough to make you worry about them. This is the professor that you choose if you want to pass with a good grade and little effort (believe me, I'm a lazy guy)
GREATEST PROFESSOR EVER!!! YOU MUST HAVE HIM FOR ANY CLASS!!! He is, by far, the most creative, coolest, interesting, and best teacher ever. As long as you work hard, you're almost guaranteed a good grade. Plus, he never fails anyone. Work your schedule to get into his class. You will not regret it.
He is just awesome!!!!
He is one of the best english teacher I ever had. 2 thumbs up!!
Take - you won't regret it...
Incoming students, he is by far the most best professor u would ever come across. He is cool, interesting, obliging, and on top of all he lets u rewrite the essays. Which means the odds of getting an A are very easy. To be honest, i would love to him for my evry single class. Students take him!!! HE IS THE MAN OUT THERE!!! U WONT REGRET IT...
One of the Best Prof. in City..not simply b'cuz he's easy...but b'cuz u'll have fun in his class...gotta really great sense of humor...and he'll turn ur bad day into a great day
This guy is grading system is moderate. He makes the class very interesting and allows students to resubmit work if not satisfied with grade. This class is recommended regardless of major. He has a way of bringing out the creative writer in all of his students.
The Best and The BEST PROFESSOR ever in my whole college Career. will definately take more classes with him in future.. Easy A, with alot of Fun throught the semester.
Easy A!! I recommend him to anyone who wants to boost up their GPA. Great Prof.
He is the sweetest man on earth. He shows concern for his students and makes the class fun. I absolutely LOVE him. He is so mellow, caring, intelligent and cute! I LOVE his class and his style. Absolutely THE BEST professor I've ever had in these 4 years. Take him for any class. I would definitely take him again.
The best teacher ever!!!! I enjoyed his class very much.
Prof. Judell's class was NEVER boring....this was the first class in college that i actually looked forward to everyday. He made it the BEST summer class EVER. i wish i had him for every subject
he is such a great professor, i had him twice and i never regretted a day. he has the greatest sense of humor and keeps the class interesting, even if it is a class full of antisocials. very willing to work with you and gives more than enough chances for extra credit if you need it. he truly cares about each of his students and that shows. THE BEST
Great professor... has a great sense of humor and uses it to present interesting points about the subject to help your interest and knoledge of the class. Would definatly take again and highly recommend. Fun professor and willing to work with you. TAKE HIM... you wont regret it !
Cool guy! I had him for Speech in July 06 and the best thing about him is that he doesn't censor students' topics. I was able to speak freely on a variety of topics from HIV to women. I dropped a speech class the previous semester because the professor was a real tightass. The minute I mentioned my views on women she was ready to fail me! Take Him!
Best professor ever. You have total freedom to say whatever you want and he is the only professor that has a good sense of humor that keeps you interested in the class day by day.
What can I say????? This prof. is great. No BS i already got my A so it does matter to me. He's one of the best i've ever got. Makes the course fun, easy going , very helpful and flexible. It's funny the way he carry himself but seems that he gets along with everybody, which makes u feel you're learning from, let's say, a friend. Best advice, take
Good, very funny and interested.
Hmm...I don't know what to say because I am short of words. Ok let me start by saying that Prof Judell is the man. He knows his stuff--an intelligent professor. He is always willing to help. This man is humorous--you will never have a dull moment in his class. I completed his class as a better person. He is a blessing, not only to CCNY, but to this generation.
I love the way he teaches class. He's hilarious every second and keeps out attention going.
He is the best teacher I've ever had. The first day of class, I was thinking that this would be my worst class of the semester. Within a week it was the best class - not because I started doing poorly in my other classes - but because his class kept getting better and better with each passing day. I highly recommend him as a teacher for CHC 101.
Awesome class! It broadened my knowledge of art in new york (hence the class). You will be extremely lucky if you get Prof Judell. Remember, be responsive and ELABORATE. Talking is fun
Very helpful and extremely funny. He's a breath of fresh air in my smog-choked schedule.
Prof. Judell is great! The class is never boring and this class did broadened my knowledge of the arts in NYC.
ONE OF A KIND! definitely recommend him 200%! even though he is an easy grader, you'll learn A LOT from his class. he's also very witty!
awesomenesss, kept me laughing and awake and his class was the only class i looked forward to.
Brandon Judell is the best professor I have ever had. He is funny, witty, approachable and helpful. Instead of stressing or boring you during class, he puts you in a good mood and gets you excited about what he teaches. He is an easy grader, but you nevertheless learn a lot because he is very knowledgeable and he makes things enjoyable.
Great Professor, Very captivating and funny, you will want to do the assignments and if your group was as great as mine, you will have fun. Be careful when making speeches there are a few things that he does not care for - no hats, no touching of the face, stuff like that. Otherwhise an easy grade.
ONE OF THE BEST PROFFESORS EVER!
Hilarious Class, Hilarious Teacher, Lots of fun no matter what class you take. You'll learn a lot while still having fun! Possibly the best teacher there is!
Best prof ever. I had him for freshman comp and it was a good way to start my college experience.
BEST TEACHER IN HISTORY
Best professor at CCNY, hands down. Prof. Judell is very intelligent, funny, and approachable. Attendance counts towards your grade, but classes are so entertaining and thought-provoking that you will always want to be there! Fair grader, lenient, accomodating, wants to see you succeed. If you like Woody Allen, chances are you'll like this professo
Oh man how can u ask for a better professor.The first day i was seriously bored from the class b4 so i was like ok lets get this over with n u wouldn't believed what happened,He was funny and the mood was sumthing everyone would appreciate.On top of that he nearly trip and i thought he would b embarrassed but he was like oh well i'm a klutz.funny!!
What an amazing man! He's funny and interesting. Everyone at CCNY should take him... his class is an experience you won't ever forget ! :)
Best professor at CCNY. Woody Allen wannabe. Hilarious, friendly, and helpful. What are you waiting for?!! Hurry up and sign up for his class before it fills up!!!
Best prof. ever!! Funny and very helpful, intelligent, and else...
Professor Judell,holds the attention of his students with his witty remarks and humor tactics. He puts the class at ease by his icebreakers. He is a fair critic and always provides helpful comments. One of my favorite professors. But get ride of the text not useful.
good teaching and a great person
He is really a good professor! He gives you chances to do extra credit and re-do your papers.
I will give him the fact that class is interesting. He exposed me to many things I would never have read on my own. I did not find the class that challenging.But he earned my respect when I first met with him in his office and saw that he is willing to work with any student in any way possible. He is a great professor to build a relationship with.
Great professor. Keeps the class very interesting and he genuinely cares about his students. Moreover, he is very lenient in terms of essays and grades. Highly recommended.
He is a great professor. He keeps the class very interesting with jokes and genuinely cares about helping his students. The workload in his class is just right and he is fairly lenient in terms in grades. He is quite honest with his students and his class was certainly one of the more enjoyable and engaging classes.
Professor Judell is not just a teasure of gnowledge but one of laughter as well. It is a shot of love of life in the morning. No one is more fit to each than him. The class is drop dead interesting. It is a class in which you get to express yoursef. As long as you are talkative and have something to say, you will do good.
If you want to keep your GPA high take him
FREAKIN AWESOME
OK professor Judell is awesome all you have to do for his class is be willing to do a little bit of work to do well. he is very reasonable and allows you to rewrite your work or hand in extra credit. you won't regret taking him
His assignments are easy and fun. The class was interesting. The rewrites are helpful and they raise your grade.
Awesome class. The conversations were interesting, and the readings and assignments were different from the usual. But most of all, I WAS NOT BORED! I will probably take another class with him again.
Awesome teacher.. you LEARN and have FUN at the same time! (honestly speaking)
Excellent professor. This is one of the classes that I enjoy going to. At times, he goes on about someone that no one knows about, other times, he is struggling to deal with today's updated lingo, his wise, understanding, and sarcastic air makes the class very interesting. Highly recommended.
He is funny guy!Good Professor! The only thing that bothered me was that he always picks the quiet people to answer his questions. He will go through the attendance sheet and sometimes puts you on the spot.
Extremely sarcastic!!! Be prepared to laugh at some of the most incredible jokes and comments.
AWESOME CLASS. I was dreading speech but after taking his class, I loved it. With his jokes, witty remarks, and advise, he made the class worth while. I'd take any class he teaches even if it was hard. He's very approachable and helps! Take his class if you can! You won't regret it. In fact, you'll find yourself looking for more of his classes.
Best Professor! He is funny, witty, and extremely helpful. If you ever feel that your grade is low, he gives you many opportunities to raise your grade with extra credits. He is the best! Take him you won't regret it.
He was so funny and interesting...I LOVED the class...and I would have taken more classes with him if I had not graduated...Great teacher...very helpful!!!
Great professor. I always looked foward to this class. I ejoyed his taste for book because Madame Rosa was a good one.
No Comments
good class. great professor. you learn, you laugh, not much else to say. i wish all professors were as interesting and insightful as Judell.
He is always there for his students. His classes are fun and interesting to be in. He is easygoing and cares deeply for his students.
THE GREATEST TEACHER! He's very helpful and caring as well as witty and hilarious. His classes are always interesting; impossible to ever have a boring class when he's teaching! I, highly, recommend to take him as your teacher.
One of the better Professors I have encountered.
It was short but a great time in the class. EXTREME caring even out of the class.
I am still happy because I am the one of students who have been taught by Prof. Judell.
i am tadd~ prof. judell is wonderful
He is fine professor. Even I had a quarrel with him because some different understanding of China. Wish you are healthy and happy everyday^^
thank you. i am happy with you. in class it is very interest. and i am impressed your passion in class.
he's awesome... love his converse. =]
One of the best professors I have ever met in CCNY. Very Very helpful, funny, and an the easiest A you will ever get. Keep up the good work!
Great professor. Definitely one of the best at CCNY. Knows his writing and film. Amiable fellow.
This was my coolest and funniest professor ever! He made the class so interesting and we watch some pretty good films. You should definately take this class.
Professor Judell is simply AWESOME! He's funny and really random, but he also gets his point across clearly. If you're thinking about taking one of his classes, take it!
This professor is really funny and he makes the content interesting. He is a very fair grader and if you have the chance to take this professor, do it.
best professor ever <3
Simply, one of the greatest professors at CCNY.
Great Teacher, take him
AWESOME!!!
Awesome! Best teacher ever.
A lively professor, with a love and enthusiasm for his subject matter. His nonchalant manner, mixed with a dry wit, makes his teaching style exciting and funny.
Prof. Judell is one of my favorite professors. He is helpful, funny and interesting. I would take him again if I wasn't a senior.
Prof. Judell is one of the better professors i have encountered. I would recommend all to take a course with him. Judell keeps the class interesting. He is interested in students opinions and he is also a snappy dresser.
Excellent professors. Lots of quirky comments makes the class interested. Definitely recommended.
he is great!!!!Take him!!
He was my utmost FAVORITE professor of all time. He truly cares about his students and the material he is teaching. He wants you to learn while having fun at the same time. I DEFINITELY recommend him. I wish I could take more of his classes though.
BEST PROF. EVER. PLEASE TAKE ANY CLASS HE TEACHES YOU'LL BE FINE.
very funny, easy, free minded, weird but cool
Prof. Judell is THE MAAAAN!!! He needs to get a raise. Who do i need to talk to?lol.
Super approachable. Dry, witty humor. Insightful and entertaining. Show up and do the easy work and you'll ace the course.
This dude is the man!!! Seriously, you can tell he is there for the students. Even if your in a pissy mood going in, you can't help but laugh at his jokes. Just show up to class and you're set.
He has a wonderful sense of humor. I became exposed to more queer writers/literature as a result of taking his class.
Wonderful professor. I wish he teaches more English class!
Not only is this girl beyond interesting and a nice break from tedious core requirements and drudge work but he is just an awesome person period. He really takes an interest in his students and shares his passion for Jewish Humor and film through so much more than just movies. He really goes the extra mile with handouts and awesome class discussion
He is great! He is friendly, helpful, funny, and great at teaching whatever the material is.
Great professor...witty and easygoing...must be willing to attend a few artistic events though...
This was the only class this semester that I actually looked forward to going to. Professor Judell is sarcastic, witty, funny, and full of life. He picks on anyone and everyone so please dont take his comments to heart. Go to class, do the blogs and the papers (2 or 3) and you'll easily get an A. Hope this helped :)
He cares a lot about his students. This alone motivates his students to take an interest in art appreciation if they didn't have an interest already. He makes every class fun and enlightening with his humorous commentary and his fresh presentations that has as a result of being a very respected film critic. He's the best at CUNY let alone CCNY.
Judell is beyond great. He really knows about the arts and even if you are someone who hates learning about paintings, etc, you will somehow find yourself in love with it at the end of the semester. Fair grader. Very funny. It's like going into a comedy club show everyday. This is like a dream class: You have fun and you learn a lot. Best prof.ever
He was absolutely amazing. Graded everything fairly, and class was always entertaining and somewhat thought provoking. Loved going to this class.
Not only is he easy on the eyes but he is magnificent professor. Anyone that fails his class is braindead! He makes the class very enjoyable and he is wealth of knowledge. I always looked forward to going to his class.
GREAT Professor. He's funny and what he teaches you goes far beyond the classroom. He'll teach you about life and it's strategy to survival. He also picks on students and pokes fun at them which I tend to enjoy. Again TAKE JUDELL, if you can help it.
I can't stand this guy. This professor loves to pick on students and makes fun of them. The class is useless. He thinks he's funny but in reality I find his jokes rude and insulting. There is no specific grading system in his class. All you do is write papers and he grades them based on how he feels. Avoid this guy if you can, he has favorites.
He's a fair grader, a cool guy, and a very knowledgeable and smart professor. I just wish he had spent more time lecturing/teaching than asking 'what do you think?' type questions and telling consistently unfunny jokes. Still, he's definitely one of the better professors I've had at CCNY.
Other profs teach you how to be smart. This professor teaches you how to be wise.
At first I did not really like this professor from the start. He comes off as being rude and mean, but as the semester rolls along, you get used to his jokes. He really is a nice person and a fair grader,just put a lot of thought and effort in your work and you'll be fine. If you are shy or don't like to participate avoid his class.
Prof. Judell's class was the highlight of my week. I recommend everyone at CCNY takes at lease one of his classes.
I LOVE THIS PROFESSOR. He is by far my favorite teacher I had in college. Definitely an epitome of an ideal professor, and whoever has him should consider him/herself fortunate, and if not, should definitely seek his classes for social, and academic experience. Love him!
Do not yawn during the class! It will get you a nickname such as Mr. Enthusiasm.
This professor needs no recognition and no praise, as he already earned it too much lol
Fantastic Teacher. Has many cultural connections because he used to be a movie critic. Be prepared to laugh and smile.
Prof. Judell is an amazing professor. He is knowledgable not only in subject matter but in teaching style. His class was by far the funniest of the semester.
He is an amazing professor. Definitely a great way to start of college. He's got that Judell Swag.
This Professor was amazing. After taking one of his classes, you would want him to teach all of your classes. His teasing opens up the classroom and makes us feel like a family. He is astute and has knowledge of life and almost anything you can think of. Love you professor!
So funny and interesting. Took him for Gay and Lesbian Lit.
A MUST HAVE TEACHER. I loved his class! He is fair, engaging and and overall great teacher!
Very interesting professor, funny, and he always brings in interesting materials.
He is the Best Professor
He is super fun, going to his class is like going to a comedy club. No professor has lived up to his awesomeness so far.
Judell is the best prof at CCNY. He makes each class intresting. Makes you want to go to class. He is extremely helpful and funny too. If you have a chance Take him
The best and most unique prof ever! He's funny and keeps the class interesting. I had him for another class too, and it's always a pleasure to go to his class. The highlight of my semester. The best prof I've had at CCNY. You must take him for the experience.
Awesome Professor!
He is a great professor who is witty and has a good sense of humor.
Witty and sarcastic. Provides very helpful feedback on papers. Available and easily approachable for questions, any clarifications, etc... Assignments are very open ended, and encourage students to think out of the box. Recommended.
Totally cool Professor. He puts thoughts into his class and the usage of humor. Awesome professor.
i thought i wud hate speech but it wasnt bad with him, it was GREAT. It was easy going ppl were chill just lik him. If ur not ready to present, he lets u go later. if u fck up speech SOMEHOW he lets u go again. DEF TAKE HIMMM plus i know he is reading (: i think he messed my grade up though, i dont think he counted a paper i gave in =/ but take him
The best English Literature professor at CCNY. I had him for prose writing a while ago and his teaching method was very unexpected. He was fun, enlightening, and very knowledgeable. He totally gets and cares for each student. He also teaches so that everyone understands. Definitely take one of his classes if you get the chance.
he makes class so much fun and inviting, but be aware he will attack your personal life, but he does it to connect, not to hurt u.
He is very hilarious. All of his lessons were very understandable. The papers were easy especially since they are based on your opinions and very little research. I didn't hand in my first paper so he asked me what happened and gave me a week extension. And if you need help, he will go to the library with you to search for books. AWESOME PROFESSOR!
Perfection. He's so nice and helpful. I look forward to going to to his class each week.
Easily the best professor I've had. He teaches a lot, while making it fun. Be prepared to get made fun of ALOT because he is highly sarcastic and likes to pick on students. But if he does pick on you it's because he likes you. I definitely recommend him.
Very sarcastic, which can be annoying sometimes. Loves to make fun of his students. Otherwise, papers are OK and he grades rather fairly. Sweet, means well although he may not seem like it.
Professor Judell is witty, creative, and fabulous to be around. His class is as informative as it is entertaining. Best Prof ever.
Amazing teacher. He always helped us and when we wrote papers, he would actually create a comment page where he would write the grade and any additional comments on your paper. He would also pick on us, but it was extremely funny and you would laugh at what he was saying about you. If you have him, then you lucked out a lot! Best CHC Honors teacher
VERY VERY EASY!
The best professor in city college, do not graduate until you take his class!!!!
the class is very informative and fun. Learned alot and had a good time.
One of the fewest gems in CCNY. He's gifted in making everybody interested by incorporating his rare creativity and wit. CARES A LOT about students. Creates a comment page for all essays and takes the time to design PowerPoint slides to help us become better communicators and writers. Certainly an honor to be in his class. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
Great Professor. He truly cares about his students. His class was fun and interesting. He grades assignments fairly and gives very good constructive criticism. If you have the option to have him as your instructor, do it!
Extremely good Professor. He is extremely cultured and is a great at what he does. However, double check grammar on all papers. He is very keen on picking up mistakes, but will not take off too many points for it.
This was by far the best professor i have taken at City College. He is very informative and really prepares for his classes.It doesnt hurt that he is very entertaining as well! yes he picks on his students but not in a bully type of way. Its just fun. Prof Judell certainly is a gem and i am glad i was able to have him as my professor!
With all honesty, we need more people like him in CCNY and the entire world in general. Throughout my several years of education, I was never this eager to attend a class. His class was informative as it was jocular. Unfortunately, most classes in this college are boring, endless, and lack satisfactory humor. Keep up the superb work, Professor!!!!!
First of all Professor Judell is amazing and funny.He is caring and nurturing,he really cares about his student.They say if never had a class with Professor Judell , you shouldn't graduate until you take a course with him. It's a rite of passage. Just a Reminder
Brandon is engaging, inspiring and has a great sense of humor. If you read, participate and express sincere interest in the subject through your essays, he will give you a good grade. If you are struggling, makes sure to reach out he's always happy to assist. He truly cares about his students.
Amazing Class. We Seen A lot of different plays. He prepare us for everyone of them. Amazing Person. He cares for his students and helps you with anything so you can pass the class.
Prof. Judell is fascinating, hard working, funny and intelligent. He cares enough to give his students extensive written feedback on their papers. He made me feel respected and my writings matter. We saw live theater in the City. It was my first time ever going to Broadway. Definitely, his class was a life changing experience.
Only wished there was more time to keep taking this wonderful class. Judell is committed to giving his students high quality , unforgettable learning experiences and genuinely wants everyone to rise to the occasion and succeed.
He is the best. Really cares about his students. Takes a lot of time to correct papers (if every prof did that, everyone would be a much better writer). He is always ready to speak to you in person, on the phone, by email, and spends a lot of time organizing our trips to the theater. A great class for everyone, not just theater majors.
Judell is fun but he also makes you learn. He welcomes students in a way that everyone don't just shy away to participate in class discussion. He's such a hard working and amiable person that if you graduate without taking his class you didn't really get anything useful from CCNY, he's that good of a professor.
Professor Judell was incredibly helpful when it came to assignments' feedback. He taught the entire class tips on how to become a better writer, some do's and don'ts, and even though this wasn't an English course, he took the time to teach us some grammar as well. Expect many sarcastic jokes with Prof. Judell - which make the class pretty fun.
Prof Judell was my MHC seminar 1 instructor two years ago. So far, I've had 32 professors and his awesomeness is in the clouds. He's amazing on so many levels! Take him or your CCNY experience will be lacking. He's the type of professor who makes the CCNY experience bearable and his class helps you forget about your problems, at least temporarily!
GREAT TEACHER !!!!!!!!
Outstanding.
Amazing!
This is the best professor I ever have because he's very unique, weird, amazing, and funny. I wish I could take more class with him :( Other than that, I strongly recommend this professor.
MHC Arts in NYC - This was my favorite class of the semester and although we didn't learn that much in the end it was still a rewarding experience where I enjoyed coming to class everyday. Class trips are fun and he is the funniest most condescending guy. Take him!
TAKE HIM!! Do not think it twice. He is an amazing professor, because he cares about the students and makes sure you understand the material. Lectures are fun and you will love this class!
Me Judell is a muse and a wonderful person!
He's a bit of an overhyped professor. Warning NOT AN EASY A. The class does take out time. Yes he's funny but he picks on students and makes fun of them. People only take him cause he the only theatre professor thats good compared with others.
Just do yourself a favor, take him. The work he gives is straightforward and easy. To pass this class you just need a little creativity and a sense of humor!
If u dont laugh once in his class something is definitely wrong with u. He's very funny and tries to make the class at the best interest of students. Definitely take him. The gem of CCNY and true defintion of an actual professor. Really hard to do bad in his class.
TAKE HIM!! he is an amazing professor and you will enjoy every class that you take with him. Take him!!
Awesome professor. Get you out of your shell, you''ll start to see what true potential theatre skills you have even though ur a stem major.
just the best, most hilarious, wonderfully weird and chill professor. very intellectual. best thing that happened to me during ccny experience.
Professor Judell is the best professor ever! Super easy all you need to do is show up do the papers and you are set. There are also outside plays you need to go see. He always makes jokes and makes class entertaining. Love him!
Amazing professor! He's absolutely hysterical! You'll have an amazing time with him no matter what course but i HIGHLY recommend taking LGBTQ Film and Theatre with him, he makes it so much fun and it's very easy work.
Judell single handedly made my entire semester worth it. Not only was this class very easy, but actually enjoyable. We managed to learn theater and have fun. There was not a day the students did not laugh! He is an easy grader, but will edit your work down to the T, which is definitely great for students who aren't the best writers. Overall-AWESOME
Prof. Judell is one of the funniest and most laid back (in a good way) professors that I've ever taken. He really cares about art, and about exposing his students to the world of art that is in NYC. Participation and enthusiasm are more important to him than how "good" you are at the assignments. Would take again.
Professor Judell was one of the best professors in CCNY. Easy A. Take him. You won't regret a single thing.
very funny and cares a lot about his students as for the work just follow his syllabus and you'll be fine and be sure to attend his class often
Professor Judell made my first year of my CCNY experience worth an experience. His humor was something that I have never experienced in my other classes before. He knows how to keep the class interesting. If you show up and do your work, you will pass for sure! Definitely would recommend!
Creative genius
I would say he is the best professor at CCNY. You will never find another professor like him. It's the only class in CCNY that will make you laugh all the time. Papers are really easy and he will give you extra time to submit. You will love his facial expressions and he has a funny face too.
An absolute gem of a professor. All looked forward to attending his class. He is the kind of person you wish you can be friends with outside of the classroom as well, since he is that funny and joyful. Every lecture was filled with laughter. Was sweet enough to accommodate to my religious prayers. I will miss him and will always remember him.
Prof BJ is amazing. If you're in his seminar, youre very lucky. His class will always bring a smile to your face. He is funny, yet takes his class's experience seriously. He genuinely cares about his students and goes above and beyond to help them become cultured.
I look forward to his class as a stress reliever. He is the one of the best and most hilarious professors I've ever had. He really wants his students to do well. I will actually miss him and his class. No other professor like him out there
Prof Judell is amazing and very funny! The class is interesting and you learn a lot of information. Quizzes are really easy and the papers are short. Enjoyed showing up to every class. Great elective to take!
Amazing and Hilarious!!!! The best speech professor I could ever imagine...... Easy grader and most likely a stress reliever... You will never get bored in this class....
Yay 200th review here! :D Professor Judell is hands down one of the best professors in CCNY. His lectures are fun, relaxing, but also thought provoking at the same time. He's very funny and cares about his students a lot. He even raised money for us so that we could all go see a Broadway play. You will not regret taking his class!!!
He is the best professor I have ever had. He is so funny and he makes the environment in class very comfortable which makes it easier to give speeches. I have had less anxiety with public speaking because of him. Bless him.
One of the best professors in ccny. He's very caring and let's you do more than one extra credit. Class is enjoyable and easy. I wish I can take his class every semester. He grades a few things, 2 quizzes and 2 papers. Very easy papers and quizzes.
The BEST professor I have ever encountered. His unique methods make class comfortable and learning exciting and simple. You will get a great laugh from every class. He is very understanding and flexible for the students. I took him twice already. 500% Recommend taking him!
Hands Down the best Professor I've had at CCNY. This man will literally make you confident at public speaking and make you laugh the whole class.
Brandon Judell rocks! Trust me. He's a good guy
Professor is super caring and goes beyond his way to make sure his students are okay whether if its at home or at school. Hes a great professor you would love his class!
I love professor Judell. I had issues with attendance due to taking another e-permit class and while I passed, honestly? I loved this course, and I felt like I missed out on a lot. & it's not often we genuinely feel we're missing out in a + sense with classes. We're just getting through them. I can't recommend enough if you want to ENJOY a class
I'm going to start off by saying that is this simply the BEST professor at CCNY. I never thought I would adore a professor as much as I adore this one. If you have an opportunity to take him, don't miss out! His class was my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE. It always managed to put a smile on my face. Literally the most hilarious professor ever!
By far the best professor you'll ever encounter at city college. You're making a mistake if you don't take him at least once.
May be the best professor I will ever have in my college career. So genuine, so caring. I have never been an art person, but his way of teaching gave me a brand new appreciation for the subject.
Very funny and easy-going professor. Enjoyable classes. A lot of class trips for the MHC class to art galleries, shows, musicals, concerts, etc.
Literally the best professor at CCNY. From the first moment you meet him he is absolutely hilarious, and as you get to know him he is the most caring and sweetest person you will ever meet. He works so hard to get us to go to shows, has so many interesting stories, and will literally be there for you 24/7. Take him!!!!!!!
Professor Judell is, hands down, one of the best teachers I've had in my entire life. His classes are always fun and everyone has a good time. He jokes around a lot and we mostly watch movies or learn about art and their importance in culture and society, with few papers/projects. He's also caring and takes the time to talk to his students.
A good professor
I took this class virtually. So it might be different for people who will take it on campus. Nevertheless I enjoyed the class. Very easy. You just have listen to others speeches and do couple to speeches. Those are fun to do too.
Such an amazing professor. I had him online and I wouldve loved to see how his in person classes are. Extremely funny, gives amazing and helpful feedback, and makes public speaking enjoyable. I would definitely take another class of his. I had an amazing time!
Professor Judell is definitely the best professor at CCNY. His class made CCNY worth it. Wish I could've taken him for MHC 101 as well.
He's proof that there are good people/teachers in this world. A+
Professor Judell is very caring and funny. Classes are chill and he makes you want to be there. I enjoyed doing the speeches even though I tend to be very nervous. P.S. someone get him a cat pls :))
Best Speech professor someone could take at ccny!! He actually cares about his students and makes sure to make everyone feel comfortable in his class. I enjoyed his small jokes lol. Not a harsh grader at all, just have fun! Brandon Judell is simply the BEST. YOU DON'T HAVE TO THINK TWICE ABOUT TAKING HIM.
Professor Judell is one of the most charismatic professors. He makes the class genuinely fun and makes it a comfortable space for everyone to be able to present their speeches. I highly recommend taking him. Not a harsh grader and gives great feedback. Prepare to laugh and prepare to maybe end up on one of his slides like I did.
I've never been a fan of public speaking but this class has helped me improve and become more comfortable doing it. He's a great and caring professor who's always looking to give tips and help when he can. The only work given was speeches you'd have to present in class. He's a lighthearted and kind soul. You won't regret taking this class.
LITERALLY THE BEST EVER! He is so funny and cares a lot about his students. He also has meaningful feedback and allows the class to be a safe space for everyone. I loved having him and his energy was always top tier. If you're reading this, because I know you will eventually, I would honestly let you fail me just to take your class again LOL
Professor Judell is probably the best professor you'll ever come across. He eases you into the world of arts without making it feel like a chore. You'll come out of every class in a lightened mood. Along with a few written assignments, you'll be taken to shows as well. Professor is hilarious and easy to talk to. His class is worth every second.
Absolutely hilarious! My fav professor no question.
Best professor I've taken hands down. He creates a welcoming, hilarious, and engaging environment for everyone and made my first semester of college a better experience overall. His class and field trips were the things I looked forward to most. Highly recommend his class.
He's amazing!!! Take him for speech. Thanks to him, I no longer feel shy or scared when speaking in public. He truly cares about his students and he's lectures are extremely easy to follow. I wish I could retake his class (also he likes SEVENTEEN, the group).
This class was much better than I expected. Taking his lectures really made me feel at ease and made me comfortable speaking in front of my peers. He cares about his students and is very understanding. The lecture/work is easy and straightforward. One of the best professors I've had, take his class for speech

Professor Judell was honestly such an amazing mentor. He had also put his students first and made sure that we all had an opportunity to learn more about the arts and the history of its presence in New York City. I feel sad that we are his last MHC class because others can't say they they were taught by the BRANDON JUDELL: GENIUS & ICON!!!
Prof Judell was such a joy and pleasure to have! He is extremely sweet. kind and hilarious. Practically every class we had a great time and always looked forward to the next one. It's a shame that he retired because we would have loved to visit him during the following semester. He is an amazing person and extremely inspirational!!
Took him back in Fall '23. Then he retired :( He is the best professor in CCNY!!!! By some magic, you will never feel nervous when delivering a speech in his class!!!! Salute
