He's a really good professor; he really cares about his students.
This teacher is full of himself and grades very strangely. He is very educated but is not the best teacher to take if you want to learn something. His teaching style seems to be a little off. He seems to make things up as he goes along.
Awesome teacher, nice guy, knows alot about film. He sparks thought processes in relation to film analysis that take you in exciting new directions.
He is a great teacher, and I enjoyed his class a lot.
Film class was awesome! Watched a wide variety of really good domestic and foreign films. All were really good, and exemplified the lessons being taught. A must have teacher for film!
Brian is a lot of fun, but tough. Very willing to talk if you have issues. I really enjoyed his class.
Bryan is awsome. He's tough but if you want to improve you're writing skills and don't want a boring teacher take his class. I can't believe no-one has raated him hot, come on this guys got style!
Bryan, has the best shoes of anyone ever. Plus he is the best dressed and you know what, just the coolest teacher you could possibly want to teach you anything. Bryan is also flexible and helpful. He wants everyone to succeed and does an amazing job teaching subjects you may not even be interested in.
Bryan is full of energy and really wants his students to relate to the subject/characters. He will play devil's advocate to give students a broader perspective. Awesome!
Great teacher! He challenged me to write about a subject that I didn't like and it really taught me how to write better. He always makes an effort to help everyone and really gives you a chance to ask questions. he has a lot of information that he is willing to give you if you ask. He is the best writing teacher I have had so far.
What a great teacher! He loves what he does and it shows. He also has amazing style!
Bryan Hull is an amazing teacher. He makes you get out of your comfort zone. I think his teaching style is great. He plays music in his class... a very nice change in teaching style!
freakin' genoius. People love this guy. great teaching technique. I can't wait to be tenured so i can be like Bryan! Rock!
bryan is my favorite person ever! he is really intelligent but not showoffy about it. more importantly, he has intense passion for what he does and it rubs off on you. lectures are incredible and he writes great comments on papers. TAKE HIS CLASS!!!
Is it bad I want to live in a world entirely populated with Bryan Hull's?
This guy is awesome! Took Eastern Films class from him in which I'd seen some of the best movies I've even seen thanks to him. Not neccesarily totally easy, but that's good. Highly Recommended!!!
Bryan is a great teacher. He really does make you think out of the box. A challenging teacher with a sense of humor. If you're looking for an easy A, his class is not it. You work hard for your grade, but you also learn a lot in the process.
good teacher, he really challenges you
he was great! sooo fun! made me really enjoy writing!
holy mother of god do i love bryan hull! i have never once been bored in his classes, which for me says a lot. he has really helped me with my writing, his comments are so constructive. really, one of the best teachers i have ever had.
One of the best teachers ever. Hands down. You will learn more then you could ever expect about the course you take and life in general. You must be willing to keep your mind open and pay attention in his class. Take his Film as Lit courses as well. Will change how you look at film. I took 6 classes from him.
He is a good guy and a pretty good teacher. My complaint would be that he makes you speak in class, not a problem for most, but I didnt like it. The other thing is that he picked painfully depressing films for us to watch, there are good films out there where after you get done you dont want to hang yourself.
If you are so into creative writing with full of fantasy. hes a good teacher for that.If you are very simple person and likes to do simple writing paper..dont take him.
He is very creative and has a unique style that keeps things interesting. He’s the greatest, I just loved him, he’ll go down in history as my favorite instructor ever.
Want to get A in his class? Work Hard! HomeWork assignments seem like hard but write as much as you can think of. It will end up with a better grade you didn't except.
Fantastic teacher! He's got a great style and a sincere passion for English which will make non English majors enjoy the class. For all English majors out there, take this class. A lot of the material isn't stuff you will be familiar with, but it's a great opportunity to expand your horizons. Great class, excellent instructor.
awesome. very motivating.
Best teacher I ever had. He really captivates and holds your attention. He really gets you to delve deep into the material and really extract something from it. If you have the chance, Take a class from him, you wont regret it.!!
bryan is a great teacher. he has his own special way of teaching and he is so helpful. i always look forward to going to his class. Just about to go to my final actually :) do not hesitate in choosing Bryan as your teacher.
Cool teacher
VERY big on class participation. Forces you to think on your feet and share in front of the whole class! I hated it and I was embarrassed so many times...If you hate writing dont take his class cuz you'll just be miserable.
Bryan instantly became one of my all-time favorite teachers after Writing 115. He's really inspiring and very engaging. He takes time to write a lot of comments on papers and they're very useful. Looking forward to his Writing 122 class!
I loved Him! He is my favorite instructor of all time. He has a very unique style and an inspiring teaching method. He makes things very interesting and he gives you a lot of feed back. I took him for Wr 121 and Eng 107, and I highly recommend taking a class from him.
B is the man. Absolutley 100% intrested in students learning. Dont take Brians class if you want to just sit back and not participate, he will call you out. If you have an open mind and TRULY want a great experience out of PCC take B's course. Dont tell him anything bad about his music though. He gets a little salty. JK he's very easy going.
I loved Bryan's Class! When I signed up for this class, I wasn't interested in writing. Bryan really wants you to learn and he helped me tremendously in becoming a better writer. I'd recommend him to anyone! He has a very unique way of teaching as well as a great taste in music!
Bryan kept me engaged. I extremely disliked writing/english classes before his. Bryan was able to explain things properly, and not belittle anyone for making mistakes. Excellent teacher.
great teacher just be prepared for a long paper about international conflict!
Bryan is by far one of the greatest instructors that I have had the pleasure of meeting! He is great at keeping all students involved in class. Don't think this will be an easy class, he is devoted to all his students putting in the top effort in every assignment. Don't hesitate to ask for help, he will always guide you the right way.
I took Brian for the first segment of World Literature as an online course. Brian is enthusiastic about his material, makes you think critically about it and won't settle for a surface-y answer. He definitely makes you earn your grade, but I felt like I got a lot out of the class because of it. He's also generous with his time and help.
Bryan was an amazing teacher! He really made me think differently about writing. His teaching skills are ridiculously fun and always kept me intersted.He does make you think a little more(outside your box)but i really enjoyed his class. Also, he usually lets you out of class a little early!
Great writing instructor and an all around awesome person. From day one, he was out of the box hilarious and had the class laughing on a daily basis. No textbook, gets material across through repetition and daily review quizzes. If you take a class from him just participate and you'll do fine. If you read this, Thanks BRYAN!!
Bryan is a very intelligent and interesting person. His teaching style is completely different from other instructors, we did not have textbooks and he would play different kinds of music every class. He is funny, honest, and very kind, and thanks to his weekly quizzes you can review almost everything done in class. Thank you, Bryan. You rock!
If you?re more partial to teachers who instruct in a cranky conventional way, be aware that this teacher is bouncy & quirky. When he walked into the classroom on the first day, I thought he was going to be scary, but he wasn?t. He has a chirpy disposition, he?s reasonable & he drills all that boring stuff about writing into your brain in a fun way.
It's amazing how a professor can have such an impact on your life. Bryan is amazing and unique. I feel blessed to have experienced his class. He educated me about writing while also teaching valuable life lessons that I will carry with me forever. I took him last term and am taking him this term. I will cry on last day. Top Professor Of All Time.
Online class. Professor is very involved. Though most of his comments were "I don't know," "I haven't read that in awhile," etc. Takes a very socratic approach without ever providing answers. Tests/essays easy, though feedback is not constructive. Style is unusual and he locks discussions, so make sure to get in there QUICKLY.
I've taken many online classes, and this has been one of the best teachers I've had. He is very involved in the online class. He responds quickly, cares about your success, and actually gives you feedback on your work. Some of the discussion/journal Q's can be hard to answer, but if you put forth the effort you will get great grades.
He is unconventional and quirky. Never have to worry about falling asleep in class, he will certainly keep your attention. I was never interested in writing before this class, and always thought I was terrible, but he made me like it, and feel more confident in writing. Highly recommended, Best teacher ever!
Bryan is the BEST professor on the PCC campus. He challenges you to your limit, and really gets to know you as a person. He is a rare gem... very rare! I've never had a professor that cares so much about his students and really pushes them to do their best. He teaches life lessons. I actually took this class just because of Bryan. I didn't need it.
Bryan is fabulous! There were four papers throughout the term, and he broke the process down for each throughout multiple class periods. He is very honest with his students, and further pushes those who are already talented as writers. Bryan led an untraditional class with awesome leadership.
Bryan allowed me to catch up on all of my work even though I started vey late in the course. He took extra time out of his day to allow me time to enter discussions. As a result, I managed to earn an A in the class. He is understanding and his teaching style is fun and unique.
I took Bryan's writing 122 class and it was by far the most challenging class I have taken. Despite this, he was extremely helpful both in and out of class. A fair warning though to those thinking about taking his writing 122 class, be prepared to write a very LONG paper about international conflict! That is what the whole term will consist of.
Took his World Literature course. He's a great guy, definitely eccentric. Really nice. If you're not into hazy definitions and "free thinking", this course may not impress you.
is a good insrtucture i would recomend him. the only problem is he does not always use the class time wisely.
Bryan is interesting, constructive and has a great personality. Not just an incredible teacher, a true teacher. He is extremely adept at giving students an avenue for discussion and learning without dictating right answers or bias. His feed back is the best I have ever seen. He challenged me to think, not to follow orders. A profound experience.
I am even more enthusiastic about this professor after the second course. An excellent writing instructor and a great film teacher. He is clearly extremely intelligent, and completely without condescension. He has the rare ability to bring light to his students' ideas, and I feel extremely lucky to have been his student. Do not miss the chance.
Bryan is helpful, intelligent, and really pushes you to develop your thoughts in writing. I feel so much more confident for my other classes after taking his course. Take him!
A very astute professor, he will call you on your laziness if you fail to deliver your best efforts in class. You might pass with minimal effort but to really succeed will require effort. Highly recommended for anyone interested in actually advancing their skills
Bryan is rad. His thought provoking assignments were my favorites this term. He gives quick and LOTS of feedback. Even if you get an A on a paper, he gives praise and critique. Don't be lazy... Read the entirety of the readings and do the discussions. There's no book, so you actually read current events and use research methods. Take this class!
Bryan is an amazing Writing instructor. Willing to help anyone!
This was an awesome class! Bryan's passion for the subject matter was contagious. The volume of work wasn't overwhelming, but you can't get away with turning in something mediocre and hope he doesn't notice. He will. He actually reads everything everyone writes. His feedback was specific, encouraging, and as long as the assignment itself.
Great Teacher. He is very helpful. His class never get bored cuz he always play music. Very relaxing class. never had an easy class like this before. Easy communicate. Easy reading material ( comic books ) :D
I wish I could take Bryan Hulls WR121H course for the rest of my life. Some of the most thought provoking, valuable experiences of my education have happened during and while writing for this class. I find myself circling back to the discussion topics or Freaky Friday writing assignments constantly. What Bryan teaches matters: take his class.
He is a great teacher. His class always fun and relaxing. He does not give much homework, but you can learn a lot from his class. Only final in class essay is hard. I already recommend him to my close friends.
Very gracious and accessible. Provides thoughtful and thorough feedback. Quick to respond to emails. Flexible and kind. Great guy, solid teacher.
Bryan is great! His class was so much fun. I learned more about how to think critically and analyze material than in all of my philosophy classes combined. Beware of the midterm, though--it is basically a memory test, so make sure to take notes on absolutely EVERYTHING during the first half of the term if you want to get a good grade on it.
Professor Hull is very intuitive. He makes you think outside of the box and helps you find sources that are not just online. You will work for your grade you want but you will leave feeling fulfilled. Take the course if your planning to transfer or move to a 4-year degree. Your future self will thank you.
This professor is the real deal. He cares. He doesn't just teach literature and have you write nonsense. We read about actual problems in the world and write about them. We have to actually THINK when writing. I respect this professor so much for stepping outside the social norms of a writing class. He cares about real issues & incorporates them.
No matter how hard I tried in this class I could NOT get an A. I had a 4.0, and this class ruined it. I spent so much time doing my work to end up receiving a bad grade and having to do my work all over again to just get a bad final grade. It was exhausting.
Mr. Hull is an amazing professor. He takes the time to meet and work with all his students. He is very engaging while teaching his classes; furthermore, he takes the time to immerse himself in reading students papers and giving proper feedback. He will not only help you develop as a writer, but you will greatly appreciate it later on in life.
The particular WR122 course I took with Bryan did not require us to purchase ANY course materials. It was pretty refreshing! We focused on international conflict which was eye opening and interesting. He's a tough grader but for good reason, he's extremely intelligent. I will definitely be taking another course with him when I get the chance!
I really enjoyed Bryan's WR122 class! We didn't have to purchase materials for the class, which is always a plus! As long as you keep up with the work, which really isn't that much, then you will definitely pass. He's clear on grading criteria and quickly responds to emails.
I had a great time in the course. Lots of opportunity for discussion. There is a quiz at least once a week, so if you miss the lecture make sure you have someone who can give you the run-down of what he went over, because it might not be on the syllabus or online outlines. Don't miss the quiz days as you will not have a chance to make them up.
He is veryyyyyyy veryyyyyy good/easy/friendly teacher
We had a little bit of issues on some assignments as I tend to find loop holes in everything. That was probably the only issue was the that some assignments/tests didn't have a clear sense of directions. Everything else was fairly easy as long as you put a little effort in it.
Bryan does not attempt to teach. He tells you what he expects from your essays and projects, but doesn't help you achieve those goals in the slightest. There is very little lecture, and he belittles his students frequently with phrases like "you guys are bad at this" before even giving out the assignments. Class is usually not related to projects
I thought Bryan was a great professor. He gives extremely good feedback and helps you improve upon your writing. Overall, I really enjoyed the class and the international focus was very eye-opening. The no textbook requirement is just the cherry on top.
The writing class 115 that I took from Bryan Hull was very educational. Bryans teaching methods are very clear and concise. There is no time wasted going over meaningless background information and I have found that he is patient and eager to help. Im thrilled to have taken his class! I would recommend him highly.
Bryan is a great instructor! Very easy going and kind as long as you stay truthful and try your best. He focuses on you personally as a writer, and whether or not you're improving and trying. He gives great feedback on all assignments turned in. Discussions and quizzes are locked after deadline so don't miss those or else you'll miss easy points.
Professor Hull was one of the best instructors I've taken so far. I recommend him to anyone for the writing classes. He uses real-world issues as a subject for all the assignments. Just a heads up the final exam is going to be tough, and you would have to think a lot.
I took Hull Spring 2020 so this review is long overdue. He is very blunt which I found was kinda funny. He emails back very fast and will help you with all your questions Don't take his critiques as "belittling." He nudges you in the right direction and will not simply give you the answers. I really enjoyed the class and his teaching style :) 10/10
this review is overdue. Professor Hull was excellent and provides an excellent introduction into international relations. He enjoys engaging with students. The passion and effort you put into the class is what you will get back. Expect him to challenge your ideas and view, but he looks for thinking not agreement when grading. Would take again!
