Doesn't put grades on papers and tests, just makes comments!!!

Urges people to look beyond themselves into the real depth of social issues in America. Extremely liberal, and therefore accepting of all views.

good teacher. wish i had her.

Although Dr. Brazy's reading assignments can be challenging, they make you question your own ideals, morals, judgements, etc....I think this is what makes her effective as a professor...she doesn't shove her own beliefs down your throat, she's awesome!!!

Excellent teacher - the best I've ever had. All professors should be this good. Cares about the class, encourages discussion, makes us think!

Best prof and class I've ever had. Why can't they all be this good? Smart and passionate about teacher. I would recommend Professor Brazy to any student that wants to think and be challenged.

Dr. Brazy is an amazing teacher that forces you to look at history in a completely different way! Beyond that, she is a great advisor and will always make time for you. She is a rarity among puplic university professors and South is lucky to have her!

great teacher and mentor

This is by far the best history professor. Her class makes you think about the social issues in America. The books you read in this class is very interesting and is like no other boring history book. NO tests. Only essays. Has very interesting discussions

Dr. Brazy enabled me to appreciate history and to understand the differences between different economic and social classes. She encourages students to see different points of view through primary sources. A Great and Helpful Teacher!!

Discussion based class encourages students to THINK. Class discussions were very interesting. Writing assignments were structured to make sure you were "getting" the material. She makes the WHY of history become important.

This best history class and teacher I have ever had. Very interesting and you will never get bored. Highly recommended.

i thought brazy was crazy too but she is the only history teacher who taught the real history and if you do research you will find that what she says is not crazy at all.

Wonderful person, great professor, very inspiring. Be prepared to use your brain and think outside the box. Don't think you'll get through her course without doing any work--it won't happen. :-)

amazing professor!! challenges you to question. she pisses you off, but it's a good thing! by making you angry, she makes you think. she encourages you to find your own thoughts, not just those of the media and, contrary to popular belief, not those of

Great teacher and great class if you are willing to be open minded and are not extremely set in your political views. Don't come to this class expecting an easy "A" but if you are a hard worker this is definitely an easy A and is very rewarding course in the end!

If you like radical liberals this is the class for you. If you are a Conservative and like to defend you stance this class is also for you. I called her a Communist at one point and she didn't get offended! However, I feared she'd fail me! She cusses in class like a sailor. She's a great teacher!

I really enjoyed her class. She held group discussion most of the time and we just debated about our thoughts and opinions. I didn't really go to class, but when I did I took good notes so I was straight when it came time to write papers. I would recommend her to anyone who is interested in the "other side" of history.

Great teacher! Very easy to understand. You must be open-minded and not easily offended. Just make sure you go to class because your participation can kick your ass!

She is a great professor. Very helpful. Learned a lot and she kept our interest. Enjoyed the discussions in class (who-ha) Papers only, no tests.

extremely detailed and focused. she captures all movements and makes you understand how things were and why events took place. i really loved this teacher, she made me change my minor

great teacher. very opioinated.. lets everyone state their opinion.

Crazy 'bout Brazy !!

She is very helpful and believes class participation. Make sure you say something of value and DON'T ramble about nothing. She is very knowledgable about her material. If you pay attention you will pass her class with ease.

She KNOWS her stuff.

Brazy is a very interesting teacher...I liked her & the class....I was very happy with my final grade...

She is a great professor, in fact she makes history interesting. She is open to any views as long as they can be substantiated or supported. I have had two classes with her so far, and look forward to many more.

covered material well

Dr. Brazy offers students a place to explore and openly share their ideas without feeling threatened or belittled.

She has her ideas set and dares your objection.

Despite being a little rough around the edges MJ does a very good job and is easy to get along with provided students make an attempt.

You HAVE to participate (counts for 50% of your grade!). She is extremely liberal and opinionated. While she encourages you to voice your opinion, it won't sway where she stands on the issue. Very thorough in her explanations during discussions! I liked her!

Mrs. Brazy may be a little misunderstood in her ways of teaching. However, I am a conservative Republican and absolutely love her class. She takes time with students who show an intrest in the material. Im Expecting either a high B or low A for final grade. Give her a chance and enter the class with an open mind. Not at all "EVIL" !

Easy if you are willing to keep an open mind and come to class. Will teach history from a different angle than any other teacher you will have. Kinda crazy sometimes but makes the class easy. The only way to fail is pure laziness

she is a really good teacher, you just have to keep a open mind! i learned soo much in her class and if i had to chance i would take another one of her classes.

she's different, but if you aren't scared to do the reading and participate, you will get a lot out of taking one of her classes.

Professor Brazy is extremely knowledge and she's hot, which makes going to class enjoyable.

Unlike two of the other commenters here, I did not find Professor Brazy intimidating or threatening. She was EXTREMELY knowledgeable about her subject and opened my mind to multiple viewpoints on American history--not just major events but how history gets made and understood. Her course has and will continue to inform all my other classes at USA.

A little off her rocker, but level headed all in the same. Very easy if you do not mind working. Course grading is divided 50% participation 50% written work. Also gives it to you straight forward. Highly recommend her :)

Dr. Brazy is one of the best teachers I have ever had. Her classes require a lot of writing but it gives you an opportunity to show her what you know. I'll admit, hearing her viewpoints over and over do get very very old, but you just have to deal with it. I would take her again, and I hope to!

Dr. Brazy, at first, was the teacher I dreaded seeing. Her viewpoints are radical and about 98% of the time I disagreed with them. However, she has blown me away. She's truly magical. At the end of the semester, her viewpoints started to make sense. I would take her again just to learn more of her points. Plus, she can be quite funny.

First off I wanted to say she's a very intelligent woman. Although you may have a hard time listening to her comments if you are a conservative republican like me, she is pretty cool. The class is very unconventional which seems to lead to a successful learning experience. Overall, "crazy brazy" fits the phrase but a good professor.

She's very liberal and be prepare to accept it. Remember to address her as Dr.Brazy. Just a question, how do you answer a question for your final paper if some of the questions were grammatically incorrect. yeahand no one said anything even the teaching assistant.

Dr. Brazy is an inspiration! This class would have been a lot more enjoyable if the redneck idiots in the back would have just shut the hell up and let the woman speak!!

I have never really liked history until Dr. Brazy's class. Her lectures are really informative and interesting! However, she does lecture up until the last minute of the class. Exams are essays, and there are 3-4. Exams are 50% of your grade and discussion is 50%. Be sure to read! Also, take part in discussion! Overall, easy class if you work hard.

She is a very communicative professor , very rare way of grade since im use to tests for knowledge , but i rather have a discussion , she is very open minded and sweet on my opinion and she likes facts which is nice , she has her own opinion but she would respect yours. She is quite cute actually i think i would take her out lol

She really cares about her students. The class isn't for everyone, and she's upfront about it. It's easy: write 3 papers, follow instructions, go to discussions and always have pre-written responses to the 6 or so questions. Do all that, you'll probably get an A. She's definitely super liberal, probably angers a lot of conservatives but oh well.

Professor Brazy is CRAY CRAY but IN A GOOD WAY! IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION, ASK IT! She is the MOST RESPONSIVE and CARING professor I have EVER HAD! She is a very passionate instructor. Participation is necessary to pass! Keep in mind that she does a TON of response papers that could help you later! SHE'S AWESOME! I PROMISE!

Dr. Brazy is one of the most genuine professors ever. She is so sweet, and her classes are very interesting. There are no traditional lectures, the class is based on discussion. There are no exams, and 3 papers. She is a lenient grader, just make sure to participate and you will be fine.
