I dropped this class like a hot plate along with everyone else. He's waaaaaay too critical and needs to move to a higher up English class.

Awful Teacher. The students in my class saw the good ratings on here and thought it would be okay...he's terrible. If you have him: drop-add! He doesn't explain what he's looking for in papers or how to write them. I have learned nothing. He's a harsh grader too.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!! He never lets you know what's going on and you will be lost and you will fail. I have learned NOTHING in this class. It's suppose to be about how to write an essay properly, but I have yet to learn anything about writing essays. yet again DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS! PICK ANOTHER TEACHER.

DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER. YOU WILL REGRET IT.

Don't take this instructor. He's so confusing. He talks about his life more than trying to teach us how to write proper essays. If you write and essay and he doesn't like what you have to say, he'll give you a low grade. Oh and if you do have this teacher, good luck passing the final. The essay is a bunch of nonsense.

He is very confusing. He tells you he wants one thing and when you deliver it, he says it's wrong! Instead of teaching us how to write an essay, he told us about his stupid trips. Seriously, the only thing I learned was if a woman goes to Egypt, unaccompanied, she will get treated like a piece of meat. That's it. If you take him, good luck!

I took his class and made a 69. I have never had a grade so low in English. I took the class again online and passed with a b

Let me start by saying I love English classes, but I dropped this one quickly. Very unclear about what he wants, he is also unclear about grading and how he grades. BEWARE.

He is very complicated and indecisive. He is never specific about what he wants but grades you harshly if you don't write to his expectations. He teaches the course as if he's trying to teach graduate English students. If you are taking 101 or 102, DO NOT sign up with him as your professor. He is awful.

In the entire semester I spent in this class I honestly have to say the ONLY thing I learned was to not take another class of his. His grading criteria & expectations on papers are nonexistent, & he honestly just rambles on about his personal life every class. He "teaches" this class like he's at an Ivy League institute. Don't take - SAVE YOURSELF.

Took me 2 months to figure out I wasn't taking Egypt 101. Also, Dr. Bruster is the most pretentious person you will ever deal with. Don't take this class.

You'll think its Egypt-101. Compares rising action to foreplay and climax to when a man cums, gay sex is a daily topic, invasive, doesn't answer questions unless he answers with a question, not clear, never precise, minimalistic, grades ridiculously, rambles, changes due dates to holidays, no regard for family life since he doesn't have one, weird

Dr. Bruster is very nice but he is not very clear in his directions. He talks a lot about his personal life in class. His lectures are very confusing. He is a harsh grader and gives very little feedback on essays. He expects his students to learn at an Ivy league level. I do not recommend him at all

Incredibly difficult to learn from. Most of his lectures are off-topic and awkward. One time he took the entire class into the men's restroom with no clear reason and gave strange commentary. He didn't have clear instructions for the essays and his study guides did not match the material for the tests. 40% of the final was not covered in class.

At first I thought that this class was great. Soon I realized that he doesnt actually teach anything. Instead, he rambles about traveling and different cultures with no literary context, then assigns work without teaching any material. I ended up dropping the class after he refused to let me switch a presentation day because I was sick. Be warned!

I would not recommend Professor Bruster to anyone. If you are willing to consistently ask him questions then you can get by. The assignments are difficult and he is very critical. He doesn't go over the quiz content, only essays. He is unpredictable, he will says one thing but wants something very different. He is just very difficult as a teacher.

Dr.B is a very confusing teacher. He says one thing but means totally different. He assigns a lot of work and takes a very long time to grade. I skipped about half the year because I could not bare to be in the classroom with him. He is very out of touch with students. I wound not take his class ever again.

By far the worst English teacher I've ever had. He's a cool guy but not a good professor. Just rambles for the entire class period. Grades your papers and journal entries as if you're in advanced English classes, not an entry-level English class. The only thing you learn is how to use Achieve online.

The lectures do not make sense at all. I barely attended his class because all he does is ramble about his life outside of the USA. His grading scale is 0%, 75%, or 100% no in-between. He does not relate any of his lectures to class work and does not go over assignments. The homework is due on random days of the week and does not make sense.

He believes he is the funniest human being to ever exist. He spends over half the class time lecturing on his beliefs about society, how hard he has it because of his race, and never is able to finish a lesson because of these reasons. He also proceeded to go on a twenty-minute rant about women's clothing and his opinions about how it defines us.

Unreasonable to deal with in regards to mistakes. I was late in submitting a test by the due date of 8:00 PM, this is because every other assignment I've taken is always due at midnight. Upon reaching out to him I was met with a lack of care and respect in his response, which can be summed up as "get over it." I ended up dropping the class after.

This professor grades like this is a much higher level course than it is. He would give good feedback, and then you would fix it, so he would find something else next time and the grade would remain unchanged.

The guy is delusional and forgets his own assignment instructions then refuses to increase your grade even after you show him that he made a mistake. He does not lecture properly and ends up going on long, annoying rants about his life (which would be fine if he squeezed in some teaching). He also goes against his syllabus too often.

NO IDEA WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT, RAMBLES, CANNOT HOLD A CONSISTENT TRAIN OF THOUGHT, FORGETS HIS OWN INSTRUCTIONS, GRADES POORLY REGARDLESS OF WORK

If you are looking for a sign to not have this professor, here it is. Turn around and run while you can.

Doesn't lecture good. Grades terribly. He is a Dr in English that's all you have to know. His fav person is ben franklin. Doesn't specially teach what's on the test or tell you need to focus on those aspects of story you just have to guess. Grades every DQ like essay.

This professor is the worst I have had so far. He is not proficient enough in technology to run an online class, and does not take responsibility for his own mistakes. There's no test prep, it's just a shot in the dark. He grades far too harshly for a class of this caliber and often the feedback is not available to view because it was a test grade.

I did not enjoy my time in Professor Brusters class. He really didn't teach us anything and would spend class time reminiscing about his time living in Egypt. He is a very tough grader and does not treat this course like an English 101 course. I can't recall one thing he actually taught us and he doesn't explain what he's talking about.
