Very good proffesor. Anyone who says he is mean has no sense of humor. He is more than happy to answer all questions. He jokes around will students but isn't serious. If you have a liberal attitude about everything then you'll just be offended and should keep yourself away from all people so your feelings dont get hurt. Test are a little difficult.

Professor Shuler's teaching methods are clear and he tells you what he expects of you several times. You must have a coherent study plan for his course or you will do poorly on the exam. Do not study the weekend/night before. The tests are short answer, but if you have the writing comprehension of a fourth grader you should do fine.

I think he is a great professor! He really cares about his students and what he's teaching, although he can come off strict. He has a good sense of humor if your on his good side, and isn't afraid to tell students how he sees it. His tests can be difficult, but as long as you take notes and study (not the night before) you should do just fine!

Great professor. He is extremely passionate and only expects the best. Don't take this class for an "easy a" He is extremely helpful and funny. He makes the class fun. I didn't miss one class.

I loved this professor, Still to this day he is my favorite professor. I took him during the summer of last year, and if I could take another Humanities, I would want him as the professor again. He is passionate, he has humor, and honestly he gave people all the material on the test the class prior. Study and you will pass.

AWSOME Professor, magnifico : ), very thorough, knows his material inside and out. Keeps the class interesting.

this is a great professor, if you really want to learn, he will keep your attention for sure. very knowedgale, great sense of humor. Very trust worthy.

This is one of the best professor you can have. He is very cool, very kind. Respect yourself and your teacher, and he will treat you like you are his buddy. The class was such a blast. My whole class love him so much that we even had a party for him!! He is such a awesome friend and teacher. He helped my so much in so many ways. WONDERFUL TEACHER.

Very enthusiastic teacher! First few days I was pretty scared but if you're a good student and your're involved, he really takes notice and he'll become your favorite professor! Just don't slack off and do your absolute best for his assignments and he will definitely take notice and reward you.

This is a typical college professor who doesn't put up with nonsense. If you don't study and expect an Easy A, avoid this instructor. However, I still enjoyed his class. He makes you think outside of the box. For an idea of how tough his tests are, I worked my butt off and was SOO thrilled to get a C on my last two exams. Still enjoyed it.

I took Shuler during the 2014 Fall term and he had some tough tests and papers, however he is a very good teacher. He always has an interesting lecture where he tries really hard to make sure you know the material. He is not an easy professor so do your best. If you are looking for a challenge and some great lessons then take him!! :)

Prof Shuler's class is pretty simple. Show up, take notes, ask questions if you don't understand. He'll literally go over the test with you the day before, but it still won't be easy. His first test was only matching, 75+ possible answers. The next 2 were entirely short-answer. 2 research papers on ancient and fine art. You'll learn a lot.

Good teacher. He knows what he is talking about, his classes are pretty interesting and he has tons of stories from his trips to Africa. HOWEVER, he won't help you, you can't skip more than 3 classes, and not such a good person. I would'n take the class if I were you, unless it ia related to your major, in that case, the class will be perfect.

He's a great professor in all. You go to class, he lectures and you go home and study the section. For the most part the class is pretty easy. You have two major papers and through the year and a solid 5 quizzes/tests and that it. He's very down to earth, makes you laugh, and keeps you interested.

Bryan Shuler, Nice teacher very front about what he's looking for in his class, Just take good note and do your papers

Is the man!!!!! He's pretty dope just gotta pay attention and has pretty cool background to him. Even now after being his student still comes up and says hello and discusses topics that have helped me in other class great professor would definitely take him again

Anyone complaining about this professor has clearly not done their research. A member of many communities and a real monster in humanities and science, he really knows what he's talking about because he's PHYSICALLY BEEN THERE. And if you haven't, then maybe you should sit down and take some notes, because it's probably going to be on the test.

This is literally the COOLEST professor I have ever had. He is HILARIOUS and relate his classes with real life situations. He motivates you and encourage you to do better. You do have to do work in this class but is not something that will occupy more than 2 hrs per week in your personal time if you want to get an A . Take him, you wont regret it.

He's a really good professor (a little strict). He's hilarious and knows what he's talking about. What keeps me from giving him the 5 is that he doesn't use canvas, which makes it harder for you to know how you're doing; and that he takes too long to give you the grades. Be careful with the quizzes (not multiple choice). He has a great class.

He's old school, but he also has a great sense of humor and always makes the class laugh. Don't expect to sleep through the class and get an A. This is not a blow off class and you will get out of the class what you put into it. He gives very in depth lectures with lots of detail. Don't sweat the papers either, just follow his instructions.

Easy to understand, he applied real world to the class room and is a bit sarcastic but its hilarious. The requirements were pretty straight forward and so was he.

I'm retired and taking classes because I enjoy learning. Professor Shuler did s great job keeping my interest as well as the interest of younger students. He is perceived as interested, interesting and fair. I will take other classes from him.

Listen, you won't realize what's going on when you take this class. The lectures seem monotonous and repetitive at first ... but you'll quickly figure out that this guy knows what he's talking about. The depth of knowledge delivered is huge. I figured this would be an easy class, but Shuler made me work for it. I learned a lot in this class.

I have found this Professor one of the most knowledgeable in this area of study. He been has to the places you learn about to study himself. Gives very accurate information in what I feel great sense of humor lecture's . Cares about his students, gives extra credit , wants the best for you. I personally will take his other courses.

This was a great class that challenged you to engage and dig in. Professor was tough but very fair in that if you attend class you'll be well prepared for exam content. Definitely a thorough command of subject and very engaging. He cares about his subject and conveys that with energy. Great class though tough!

Professor Shuler is an outstanding professor with great passion for the Humanities discipline. While difficult he is fair and willing to work with you granted to are in class and work hard. Research papers are required and will definitely help prepare you for University level study. His classes have made USF upper level courses a breeze.

Prof. Shuler is perhaps one of the best professors I have even had the pleasure of studying under. He is deeply passionate about the subject matter, and more approachable than almost any other professor in this or other departments. His willingness to help is unfailing, and he will do whatever it takes to help a student in need.

Shuler has teaching down to a science. His lectures are interesting, he takes time to incorporate lessons that apply to modern day, and tells you exactly what will be on the exams. His essay will take a lot of work; he's specific with what he wants, so I would start as early as you can. Overall, I would take this teacher again. He's very present.

Don't be scared by the bad comments. He is a great professor. However, you have to go to class and take notes, I barely used the book. He also gives extra points.

Great professor! He has quite a character, so he may seem really strict. However, you can tell he really cares for his students who try their best. If you plan on missing class often, do not take this class. He lectures and you will need the notes for the exams. Exams aren't the easiest but he does post study guides. Amazing lectures too!

He was a great professor. I loved the class and although sometimes he can be a little lecture heavy, hes very upfront with whats due and when. There are no surprises. Hes a great guy and made learning fun. Would take a class with him again for sure.

Without a doubt the smartest professor I have had at HCC. Knows and obviously enjoys what he teaches. Inspires students to travel and try new things. Lecture and note heavy, but the lectures are enjoyable. Pretty difficult test.

Professor Shuler is a great professor and treats you as part of his college family. He understands people have lives outside of school and accommodates accordingly if necessary, along with giving you what to expect on his tests. His syllabus tells you everything you need to pass. Make sure to attend his class or you can forget about passing.

I took professor Shuler in spring 2019 and I'm a huge fan of his. He is a dedicated teacher and he seems like he would be cool o hangout with. He knows about everything; I can hear him talk for ever. I also love his style!

Very funny teacher

Very sarcastic and makes the lectures fun and interactive. You get to present in class which is very meaningful to hear from others. Great professor! You won't regret taking this class, he is very lenient. Just do your work and pay attention in class. He always gives you a heads up for quizzes and gives a summary to what it'll consist of.

Professor Shuler was so entertaining, and I had him for two different classes. His lectures always tie back into personal experiences he had. While there are the many discussion boards that have to be done in order to keep up with the class, its relatively easy and makes learning about different cultures so much more interesting.

Professor Shuler is great! He's hilarious & he talks most of the class with the occasional YouTube video. He's well-traveled and you can tell he's very passionate about the arts. Just make sure you put some effort and study his announcements on canvas and turn in the two required papers and you'll pass. Also no final exam and gives extra credit

HILARIOUS RESPECTED AMAZING LECTURES GIVES GOOD FEEDBACK INSPIRATIONAL wonderful teacher beautiful lecture I would love to take another class with him if I have to I would definitely recommend him.

great professor, Professor Shuler's lectures are very good and I learned a lot from him. He gives study guides for the tests, there are 5 tests, and 2 long essays. for the tests, you NEED to study the guides. The 2 essays are for a museum review and a live performance. The only thing is that the quizzes may take a long time to be graded.

Prof Shuler is a patient, brilliant man. Follow his directions and you will not fail his class. He clearly tells you what s going to be on the test. Write it down and study it. He does not tolerate cell phones in class so put it away or you may be kicked out of class. Otherwise, he is caring and respectful, and very knowledgeable.

Class is easy but you are required to read 3 African novels on top of having a textbook.

This guy is actually really good. He seams harsh at first. However, he is fair! He clearly tells you whats going to be on the tests so you know what to study for, his lectures are very thorough. He does not tolerate crap, or cell phone usage in class. If you follow his instructions, you really should not fail his class unless you just don't care.

Professor Shuler is extremely tough. His research papers are no joke, and his tests are all fill in the blank. He saw i was struggling and allowed me to retake the third test which saved my grade, and he made our final exam extremely easy. (helpful studying tip, voice record his lectures). He's an amazing man who pushed me, and i truly respect him.

I took like 4 of his classes while getting my AA. I'm now in the process of getting my master's, and Prof Schuler's classes are still some of the most memorable classes I've taken. Everyone who doesn't like him is probably lazy and didn't take notes or pay attention. All tests are straight out of the lectures, and he tells you exactly what to do.

I'll be honest, Professor Shuler is not easy to please and is very strict but he is also very knowledgeable and educated and nice. As long as you treat him with respect, he'll treat you with respect too. If you're looking for an easy class with multiple choice exams then this is not for you. You will also have a few multiple pages essays to do.

He is tough! But if you show that you care and do everything you can get an A. Weekly discussions based on the book (never gives 100%), one big research paper and one big project. He also asks students to bring PRINTED articles every week and discuss about it. You might get lost in his classes but don't worry because it will make sense at times.

I was skeptical at first because of all the bad reviews, but honestly, this class was a breeze! The workload and assignments were very manageable.
