He is a great teacher...you will know your grade on your test walking in the door because he explains things so well. No research papers or b.s. work, class lecture and a few tests and that is it...I would recommend him as a teacher

Mr. Bruehl is an absolutely brillant professor. Even if you are not completely interested in psychology, his amazing and humorous personality will make you enjoy the course. He prepares his students well for his exams and offers extra credit...

Such a cute clean cut asian guy! Real professional and accepting. Hes upbeat and fun to watch. He's also a guidance counselor and all around great guy !

This guy is a great teacher, making every class interesting. He gives you a lot of real life examples to help you understand. I definitley recommend him.

Wonderful man full of life lessons. Prepares students for tests...

He is by far the best professor I have ever had. He is so bright and makes everything as easy as he can for his students. This is a professor that really cares about his students. His notes are great and he prepares the class extremely well for the tests.

He is a very good teacher! Likes to teach on the couselor level rather than the boring theories, very interesting and a great teacher. I recommend him..

Loved him! He even helped through some personal issues I had at home.

Excellent professor cares very much about the students and making sure everyone understands and passes the class. He is also alot of fun i would definently recommend anyone to take him!

This teacher is great. He is not easy that you can sleep through his class but very clear and informative on the material. Showing up will get you an A. Tests are clear and easy if you know what his asking for.

Excellent Professor. He makes the class very interesting. Gives very good notes. He gives a good review for his test. He teaches so you can learn. I highly recommend this professor.

one of the best!

He teaches me in High school hes a really good teacher but I'm nto going to go to Valencia a lot of stupid people go there who cant get into UCF

Great teacher. Really interesting a pretty easy. To the person who made the last comment UCF is pretty easy to get into so dont flatter yourself.

The last person that did the rating does not know what they are talking about. This class is great. Very practical, especially for those who want to go into the counseling field.

Very structured and well organized. Interesting class. Highly recomended.

He's a very good teacher, there are a lot of notes involved but very easy class, and very easy to understand.Gives plenty of examples and has a great sense of humor. I definitely recomend this teacher if you really want to learn.

Fun, easy and interesting. Take him! He gives good example w/ past experiences. Take him! Take Him! Take him! don't know what else to say to convience you. See for yourself. the lowest possible grade you can get is a "B" and that's if you DON'T try.

Great professor..he is both funny and smart. You will learn alot if you take this class.

This guy is awsome. He knows how to keep your attention. If only evey teacher could teach like him. I highly suggest taking him. The class isn't hard but you should definetly study for the tests.

This is the best professor I have ever had. I would take him for all my classes if I could. I love this professor - He really is the best! No doubt! SUPER COOL!!!!!! I learned so much from him. I'm a Psych Major =) You rock Mr. Bruehl!!

He's an awesome teacher!!!! Make sure not to talk in class. Only one homework and two tests. Take good notes, will help on test.

I personally have not had him at VCC, however I did have him in high school. I'm sure his teaching is a little different for a college level, but he is a really cool guy. Highly recommend him!

Easy A and you will get out of class early everytime. if you can take him with a hybred course. dont both buying the book if you can take good notes. He gives you exactly what to study for on tests. Great teacher:)Highly recomend

No Comments

Great professor. Makes you laugh and keeps you interested. Very clear and concise teaching style,no surprises on the tests. Lets you choose what test you want-essay or multiple choice. Keeps the class alert. Taught me a lot.

I never thought about a career in psych until I took this class. John will open your eyes to so much. He's so smart and passionate. I wish he was at UCF...He's the best by far!!

Great teacher, explained things very well.I will advise anyone to take him if you want an "A".

Absolute BEST professor I had in four years of college...Truly an amazing, inspirational, brilliant man...

teacher is tight. mad easy all u do is take notes from his powerpoint presentation as he discusses the information. he gives like 2 or 3 tests and some of them are take home. very easy A, plus he makes it interesting, he is funny and he knows what he is talking about.

He was a great teacher. He is really smart and really knows his stuff. I would reccomend him to everyone!

I've taken John for Abnormal, General, and Developmental I've gotta say he is one of the top Valencia professors. VERY easy A if you show up and take notes (or get them from someone) If every professor were like him, we would want to be in class more often!

Excellent teacher!!!! I would recommend this teacher to everyone

Lectures are clear & extremely interesting. No homework or quizzes. Gives excellent study guides for tests. More than willing to help out in anyway you need it for counseling, or psych ?'s. Thorough understanding of the subject w/ plenty of years of counseling under his belt. Loved the class learned a lot. Wonderful man and teacher.

The class was very interesting and he gives you study guides that are pretty much identical to the tests. he likes to find ways for his students to get A's no matter what!

Absolutly LOVED his class! I learned so much, I liked being there, and actually looked forward to his tests. He's interesting, interactive, and actually cares about what you have to say. Will do ANYTHING to help you get a good grade!

I had him in highschool for ap psych.. he is very helpfull and keeps going over everything so it stays fresh in your mind. he makes class fun by sharing stories and such. I passed the ap exam with a 4 and i cant wait to have him again for another psych class!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM FOR ANY CLASS YOU TAKE!!! YOU WILL GET A GOOD GRADE!!!!!!!

He provides you with everything you need to make an 'A' in his class. He tells you exactly what's on the tests, and he actually covers it all in class. He's always willing to help if you don't understand, and his class is very interactive and interesting. I would definitely recommend him!

I've had him for general pysch, developmental pysch and abnormal psych. He is awesome- he lets you know exactly what he is looking for on his tests and yet you still come out of the class having learned stuff. He also relates the ideas to other topics to help you remember. Just make sure he has his caffeine intake.

Mr. Bruehl is an excellent instructor. He tells you exactly what to expect on his tests, and his teaching methods relate to meaningful things and current events which help you remember stuff. He's definitely on my top list of all-time favorite professors which is a very short list. You'll love him!

What a great teacher! He knows his stuff and keeps it interesting. He wants you to succeed and does his best to make sure that you do. Treats his students with respect and is always smiling. We need more professors like Mr. B.... :)

This guy is awesome! His tests are all essay format, but he gives you the questions before the test date. His lectures are also very good and funny. Very good teacher! If you don't get an A in his classe, then you obviously did not study.

Mr. Bruel is STILL my favorite professor that I have ever had. I look for classes he teaches just so I can learn more from him.

Mr. Bruehl is great! His tests are a breeze, but you really learn what he teaches. He tells great stories and use PPoint a lot. Take good notes and you'll do great! Doesn't use book.

His great is a perfect teacher he is the best teacher i had give note that are easy to understand and help you and gives hope even when you are down not hard

He is the best. Im an elementary edu major but taking his class wants me to change to PSYC. He is really helpful and you will learn without even realizing it..take him!

I took him for Psy and now for Dev. Psy and all I have to say is STILL AWESOME!

I love Mr Bruehl! I had him for AP Psych in High school and passed and I just took him for Dev Psych at VCC and Im going to take his Abnormal Psych class also! His teaching style is amazing so that everyone in the class understands. Ive never met anyone who didnt understand him or didnt like him. The best thing about it is he makes you interested i

THE BEST PROFESSOR EVER HANDS DOWN!!!! AND BETTER YET, THE BEST PROFESSOR EVER WHO TEACHES AND TEACHES WELL EXCELLENT TEACHING METHOD =] LOVED HIS CLASS VERY INTERESTING!

There are not enough good things to say about this professor... He's funny, smart, and entertaining... The material is so so so dry, but he manages to keep your interest. I wish all professors were like him. I miss the class just because the lectures were so interesting.... Take him for what ever classes you can!

Hands down best teacher/professor I've ever had. You have to want to do bad in this class if you fail.

Take all the good that everyone else has said and I cosign all of it. Extremely helpful to the point that as it was said you have to want to do bad! Gives very practical and easy to remember examples for hard to remember terms. Very informative. Not afraid of students questions.

Best teacher i've ever had in my life. Funny, cares about students (mabey because he's actually a psychologist?), and really interesting. Took him at UHS for AP, tests there were kind of hard but you want to study it's so intresting. He like "conditions" you in class for recall on tests.passed the AP exam with a 5, no major studying on my own.

The best psychology teacher at Valencia. He gives study guide for every test. Very easy to get "A" in his class. The only way students fail Mr Bruehl class is only if the student want to fail. He's very clear and helpful. No need for the text book because he doesn't use it. He give very easy academic notes and tell you story to help you remember.

I took this course online. Its extremely easy. If you're lucky for an easy A take this class. You have to sets of packets that are due at the end of the semester and he gives you a review packet for the midterm & final. Make sure you do them because the tests are similar.

Best professor I have ever had. I've learned much about psychology without spending hours studying. tests are usually essay but he gives questions ahead of time and sometimes they are take-home tests. Very easy to understand. never uses the textbook. as long as you show up and turn in tests you'll get an A. Funny. Lets class out early most nights.

Bruehl is amazing. His lectures are captivating and easy to remember. There are only four grades in the class, all tests. He does give study guides, but sometimes those are not enough. Buy the book, you will need it because he doesn't always cover test questions in class. Look out for multiple choice tests, those questions come out of no where!

Good teacher, made class interesting. NO need for the book...at all, I didn't even buy it and got an A. It was annoying when he infused his opinions in the lectures though.

Great professor. Easy to understand lectures. Take good notes. Really cares about student comprehension. One of the best professors out there. Cute too.

Wow. Just finished the semester with him (Spring 09). Kept my attention level high. Good stuff...makes you think. Thank you for a great semester.

I got an A but I really did not like the fact that the first test was so hard. I did study the review that he gave but I got a 60 after the curve!!! After, that I started studying a lot so I can get a good grade. He is so helpful and will do whatever it takes to make you succeed but be aware that the tests will be based on the book and not in the l

His lectures are geared to actual counseling. So if you want to be a therapist, he would be the perfect prof for you. Good teacher. Like what others have said, really cares about his students. Easy to understand and really big on having his students think.

He's a great teacher! The only grades you receive are from tests but he makes the tests pretty easy and you always know what to expect before taking them. Don't miss class, especially if you have the once a week class, because it's entirely lecturing from his power point and taking notes. Take tons of notes and it's an easy class.

Amazing teacher! He's really funny and his class is always interesting! His tests are easy, as long as your study the review. I would definitly recommend him!

Wow this professor is awsum trust me.His tests are so easy once you study his reviews.He is friendly and helpful and makes it worthwhile to learn.He is truly a wonderful guy.I enjoy his class.

Awesome teacher! Made all topics interesting, and enjoyable, and very transferable to real-life situations. Good class, and you will not regret taking it, even if you are not going to be a psychologist. I wasn't interested at first, but he made me love psych.

He's a wonderful professor all around. I loved his class in high school and it's no different at Valencia. He cares about your time and what you can handle, but he also makes you think about the important concepts. There's absolutely nothing bad I could say about him. Just do the study guides and listen in class. That's it. I highly reccomend him.

Professor Bruehl is a great psych teacher! He tells stories that are really interesting & help you understand the material. He e-mails you a study guide before every test & it's exactly like the test so do it. You have a worksheet over the first 12 chapters which takes a lot of time so don't put it off. Just study, take notes, & you'll do good.

Great professor! He is very funny and understandable. He explains everything do weel that after his class you want to major in Psych. His class is pretty easy. He gives study guides and a project from all the semester. He's a great professor I will recommend him.

COOLEST TEACHER EVER!!! knows his stuff as a psychologist and makes you learn it through examples and funny stories. EASY A!! Gives you the study guide which is the same as the test!

I took prof bruehl for general, abnormal, and developmental psych he is great!! I strongly recomend him, I just wish he taught more subjects. He gives you a study guide with the exact questions as the test. You wont regret taking him!!

I love to have him my professor. He is really nice and sweet. He answered any questions that the students asked him from my class. You would be glad to take him

Favorite teacher so far. Super friendly and emailed us reminders constantly. If you did not pass his class you are an idiot. One review packet, midterm and final-- that's it. He was really funny and you could tell he wanted us to get an A.

AWESOME!! His class is very easy if you put the study time into it. Plus, only 2 tests and one paper. =)

Amazing teacher. Had him over the summer and have never had a teacher make a 3 hour class so fun and interesting. I have problems paying attention and lose focus easily but he makes it easy to stay tuned. You learn so much and learn how to use it in everyday life, fave prof. so far!

developmental psych online. Writing is required for this class, 2 easy exams, 1/2 page mini essays about whatever you want, and a review packet that hits major topics in the book. His course work reflects his promotion of higher thinking, rather than dryly fighting for your grade. If you think you MAY enjoy the subject you WILL enjoy his class.

Took this class online and it was an essay A. This teacher is great. I would recommand him.

Very straightforward about materials and upcoming tests.

Great class. The tests are straightforward. You are well prepared for all exams. I highly recommend him.

Hands down a wonderful professor!! He truly cares about you and your grade in his course! He has made my semester stress free and I couldn't thank him enough! I highly recommend him! There aren't a lot of professors as organized, caring, and fast responding as him!!

This professor is the best one I've had! He cares about his students and does everything to make sure we pass. His lectures are never boring. He also does a thorough review before each test. Easy A! I have no complaints at all. He doesn't give too much work either. Just make sure you show up and pay attention.

Crystal clear expectations. Tests are fair.... Very helpful! And I made an "A" in the class!

Professor Bruehl really cares about his students;he will help you succeed; gives extra credit; fair grader; passed with "A"; will be taking his DEP class as well

Expect to learn a lot about the subject matter. An amazing teacher who you leave learning something with. Only have tests because its a formality and you receive a detailed study guide to use for every test. He truly is a must take teacher!

Expect to learn a lot about the subject matter. An amazing teacher who you leave learning something with. Only have tests because its a formality and you receive a detailed study guide to use for every test. He truly is a must take teacher! 85% of the class got an A.

Probably one of the best teachers I've ever had in my life, he is always there for the students, his lectures are never boring and he is very helpful and understanding.

Best teacher ever helps you with extra credit and his test are very easy just do all the learnsmart and you will pass with flying colors.

Greatest professor in the whole world! He cares, he will go out of his way to help you, and he is so knowledgeable and kind. There are a few tests but Professor Bruhel makes sure you are prepared and ready for the exams. His lectures are very informative and he gives extra credit. He is just so sweet and so helpful. Take him!

This professor is beyond amazing! He really takes the time to teach all of the material. He is funny, helpful, entertaining, and did i forget amazing? I've learned so many interesting things from his lectures. He uses real-world materials and give almost always 2-3 examples so each student understands. LITERALLY THE BEST GUY IN THE WORLD!!!

I took him 2yrs ago and I absolutely loved his online class. Best professor ever!!! I learnt so much. There was a lot a work though, but manageable. He's one of Valencia's best. He's a gem!!!!

Great professor. Very interesting class. Very willing to help. Im an engineering major so I don't need to take any more psych classes or I would take him for every class he teaches.

Show up, take notes, and do the study guides. This was an easy A. He is a nice guy and willing to help and stays to answer questions after class. Gives good feedback.
