Gives a good overview of the subject. But definitely favours the more vocal students who answer a lot of questions in his classes. Tests were based on questions prepared in advance and handed out, basically testing only memory power.
He is very difficult to get a hold of. Nice enough guy. Projects are simple enough. There is a lot of information that you need to know for his "quiz".
Studying the book and class attendance are pretty essential to a good grade, but his study guides tell you exactly what to study. Topics and discussions were very interesting. I definitely thought it was a good class and useful for life goals.
Good Prof
Excellant
Maybe the best class I've had. He was always prompt, focused,very relevant, and fun. Study the way he recommends and you will do great. (I would have done a little better if I would have listened to this earlier). You should love this class and get alot from it.
Fun class, keeps it very interesting. He gives you study guides and as long as you follow those and do the questions, you should pass with flying colors! Great professor!
great teacher!
Seriously seriously cool class
This class very incredibly useful and very fun. One of the few classes I loved to go to.
He's a really great professor! The class is very interesting and you can apply the things you learn to your everyday life. He fascilitates interesting discussions. I highly recommend this class!
Book and lecture material was totally coordinated and test was based on both. All esxpectations were clear and fair. Bonus - class was much fun and useful both at work and home. Take this class.
Truly a great class.
I really enjoyed this class.
I'm working on my MBA and took this class to meet a requirement. It was one of the best classes I have ever had.
This professor was awesome. He was very helpful with any problems you had with class and even helped you with problems outside of class. He was also very clear on what he wanted from you in the beginning of class.
What an outstanding class and what a careing professor.
I really liked this class. Professor was great teacher as well as very helpful and concerned. I learned so much.
Just finished this class - it was great. Highly recommended.
Clearly teaches for us to learn - not just for the money. Great listener, fun to listen to, very helpful, and overall "awsome".
Loved every second of this class. Highly recommend.
This was one of the best classes I have had. It was fun, interesting, and informative. There is some work and you have to think. Take this class you won't be sorry. Great.
Dr. Breuing was an amazing professor, would highly recommend for real world viewpoints and realistic work load. Interesting topics.
Thank you so much for a GREAT class!!!
This was a great class and I looked forward to going every week. I learned alot and it was also fun. My only disappointment is that Dr. Breuning doesn't teach any other classes.
I really enjoyed this class. It could be demanding at times but all expectations were clear, concise, and fair. Eveyweek was alot of fun, lectures were very good, and class participation was very active. Overall, as good as any class I've ever had.
One of the best teachers and people I have ever met. He cares about his students and attempts to teach and learn with them rather then at them. He makes complicated information into fun and inviting discussion. He is a must if you need this class. I wish he taught other classes. (Highly Recommend)
I enjoyed this class very much. Everything was well organized, clear, and relevant. AQlso, the books were very good and each week was fun. Thanks.
Great experience. I learned a lot. I wish this professor taught more courses. Straight forward, no bs style of teaching. Very informative.
Very enjoyable, educational, and fun. Great class.
I am not from this country and my englishsometimes not so good. I always felt safe and supported. He help me so much.
Can't say enough good things. Content was excellent, lectures were fun and entertaining, and Dr. Breuning was caring and gave everyone the individual attention they needed.
Outstanding class. Enjoyed every week.
This was a great class. Not the easiest but always fun and entertaining, very informative, and incredibly useful. I loved going every week.
I am working on my MBA and this is one of the best clases I have had. My only complaint is selfish - he devoted the last class to helping some students who were struggling - I would have liked another lecture.
This was a great class. It was informative, entertaining, and the lectures were always interesting. Take it if you can.
Very entertaining teacher, thoroughly enjoyed his class. Very straightforward, no suprises on his tests/quizzes. As long as you keep up with your reading and study for your tests you will do fine.
I thoroughly enjoyed this class. It is definitly not an easy class but all expectations are clear. The material is excellant and the lectures/presentations are exceptional.
Some info from the book, and some is not. A couple of fun projects and a presentation... This is the best organizational psychology/leadership class I ever had... now I finally learned how to read people. thank you, sir.
Just finished an absolutely fabulous class. I cannot say enough good things. Clas outstanding and Dr. Breuning is the best.
he's an amazing teacher! If you ask for help he'll give it. I wish I was taking more classes at OCC, because if I was I would definitely take him again. Make sure you can read/organize your notes well because if not you'll be in trouble for the quizzes
Just an all around great class. I learned alot, I can apply what I learned, and every week was a nice mix of seriousness and fun. Best professor I have had.
Great class. Best profesor I have had. Highly recommend. Despite the fun it is hard work.
Thank you for 15 great weeks of learning and enjoyment.
Is phenomenal a good word to describe a class? Yes, this class was fantastic and exceeded my greatest expectations. Lectures were interesting, fun, and informative. Books used were easy to understand and good reading. All expectations were clear, fair, and followed closely. Take this Professor!
This was a very good class. It very clearly presents all the information in both an academic and practical/application format. It is clear, consistent, and enjoyable. The layout of the class is itself is a model of organizational management. Everything taught is demonstrated in the presentation of the class. Dr. Breuning,thanks, great job!
Outstanding class. Great Professor. Highly highly recommend.
I am working on my Masters in Business at Western Michigan University and had to be home this semester. My adviser suggested I take this class from Dr. Breuning. Boy was that great advise. One of the best classes I have had. Loved every week.
Breuning was one of my worst teachers ever. He was rude and sarcastic to the students who asked questions, and he liked to put people on the spot. His assignments and tests were not particularly difficult, and you will get a good grade as long as you know the material. He always looked very depressed and unenthusiastic.
Wow. I was getting to write my review when I read the last one. I guess there is one in every class. This class was always fun, upbeat, and Dr. Breuning does not have a rude or sarcastic bone in his body. Read all the reviews, he is fun, helpful, and caring. Will not embarrass anyone. A great class.
Outstanding class and great Professor. Take this class!
I enjoyed this class very much. Te information was informative and very applicable to both my work and home life. I am an entry level manager and both my skills and confidence improved greatly. Also, Dr. Breuning is a great presenter and the entire class was involved and had fun.
Just finished a great semester in this class. I took it in the summer so there were fewer students which made for very nice discussions. Overall, really excellent Professor, enjoyable books, and outstanding material.
This was an outstanding class. The material was first rate and the books were informative, easy to follow, and fun. Dr. Breuning is an incredible professor.
Breuning is the man. It's very evident that he knows a lot about what he's teaching and the way he teaches is just so easy to understand, he has a way with delivering things in a manner that everyone can follow. He's also very laid-back in terms of attendance and participation. Overall super cool, sarcastic, easy guy.
Just finished the best class I have ever had!
This class was the perfect combination of seriousness & fun, theoretical & practical, reading & lectures. Not the best grade I have ever gotten but it is the class I learned the most. Oh yea, first class I ever went to every week. Highly recommend you grab him as a professor.
Just a great class, a must take from Dr. Breuning.
An all around great class. Lectures were interesting, relevant, and always with a touch of the unusual. Books were very good and complimented the lectures - not just a repeat. It was fun but you have to work for your grade. There are no tricks or negative surprises. Loved Dr. Breuning.
Outstanding class. Great Professor.
Hard or easy is not the best way to discuss this class. No question, you work for your grade but everything is fair and there are no surprises. Lectures are relevant, fun, and never too long. Dr. Breuning seems to really care for the students. A great guy.
Very good class. I enjoyed going every week, lectures always interesting, great practical examples for use in real life. My vote for Best Professor of the year.
Although the professor was nice, he is quite boring and monotone. I didn't learn anything from the lectures. He talks a lot about his opinions and something he has with Oprah and Target. Nice teacher though, just wish I would've dropped in the beginning of semester. At this point, I have no clue of where I stand in this class.
I took this class last semester and am now realizing how great the course really was. Maybe the best instructor I have had, lectures and discussions were always interesting and fun, and practical. A truly wonderful class and instructor. !00% recommend.
Great Professor, very interesting lectures, very useful information, class very interactive. Loved it!
Great class, great professor. Highly recommend.
Overall outstanding class. Highly recommend. Also, great pre-class entertainment. The "show" starts about 30 minutes before class. Fun.
Really enjoyed the class. Dr. Breuning is my favorite Professor, ever.
Go to class and you will have an easy A! His lectures are really interesting, but he does have a monotone voice so you will need to pay attention. Quizzes are word for word from the study guide, but they are fill in the blank. Def learned a lot in his class and wish he taught other classes because I would take him again.
Breuning is an excellent instructor who knows his subject matter very well. He lets you know exactly what is expected and he is very clear. The class is extremely interesting and useful. I would recommend it for anyone who wishes to learn more about communication.
Wonderful class, loved every week. Learned much, had fun, good lectures and group activities. One of my all time favorite Professors.
This is a class you should take. Dr. Breuning is who you should take it with. Outstanding!
Great class, great Professor. You won't be disappointed.
Outstanding class with a great Professor. First class I have tried to get there early. Before class was so much fun. Take this class. Oh, next semester I start my MBA.
Dr. Breuning is an amazing professor! He is very knowledgeable and made each class worth my time. I had fun learning from him. He is a fair grader. Work hard, put in the time and you'll do great!
Really good class, outstanding Professor, excellent material, good readings. Lectures were clear and enjoyable. Serious class with a lot of fun mixed in. I wish Dr. Breuning taught more classes.
Awesome, awesome, awesome. Gives great lectures and involves the students in them. I learned so much and at the same time had my first class that I can say was fun. I worked hard for my grade but it was worth it. He should be ordered to teach more classes.
A great teacher. I absolutely loved this class. If you pay attention during class lectures (and maybe take notes) you should be able to pass all of the quizzes.
Yummy class - loved every week.
Very good class. Useful and thoughtful material, lectures were fun and informative. All aspects of class were enjoyable. Not conceptually difficult but for an A you have to study and be prepared. I wish there were other classes I could take with Dr. Breuning. Excellent professor.
A really good class. Informational and fun. I took a 12 week version and wish it were longer. Highly recommend.
I really enjoyed the class. You can get a good grade but you do have to work for it. Theoretical and useful information. Also, had a lot of fun.
Thank you for a GREAT semester.
Awesome Professor, lectures and discussions usually very interesting. Loved the class.
I liked everything about the class. I received a good grade but definitely had to work for it. Dr. Breuning is not only an excellent professor, but also a great human being. I want to thank him for all the time and help he gave me outside of class.
Very good class, excellent Professor. You won't be disappointed.
I really liked the class, I worked hard, and I did well. But what I want to say is that I have had bad classroom experiences. I am a minority and get very anxious because of past bullying. This is the first class where I felt safe EVERY week. I'm tearful, thank you so much.
Great class, highly recommended.
If you are in college to text on your phone and be a loser in life, then this professor is not for you. He was challenging, but in a good way because he makes you think! There are a mix of group projects, a group presentation, and individual work to do. Definitely left with a better psychological understanding of myself and others, highly valuable!
Outstanding class. Enjoyed every week. A great Professor.
One word: Awesome! Best class I have had. Dr. Breuning made learning fun and stimulating. I really wish he taught other classes as well.
Easiest I'll ever get in my life.
Easiest psych class that I took.
A master professor.
He is just wonderful and fun. You could say funerful as he is full of fun.
Thanks to him I love psychology.
You'll want to take him over and over again.
Really good class, outstanding Professor, not that hard to get a good grade IF you put in the needed time and energy. This class is not given to you. Also, perhaps the most interesting and most caring teachers I have ever had.
This was an outstanding class taught by one of the best Professors I have had. One thing I liked is that he spoke as an everyday, common sense person. No attempts to impress us with fancy, complicated lectures. Not too hard to get a good grade as long as you do the work as outlined. Take this Professor.
Taking this class vwas very helpful and I really learned a lot from Steve.
I really enjoyed the class. Excellent material that can be used in all aspects of life. Leadership in life, not just at work. Lectures were great, books very good. You do have to work for your grade but there are no surprises. This semester the class was 12 weeks. I would have liked the additional three weeks. Outstanding Professor.
Prof Breuning is one of the best professors I have ever had. He cares about the students, gives great feedback and also great discussions. I would love to take more classes with him. So 100% take him. He is very clear with his quizzes. Whatever you see on the study guide thats what you will have on the quiz. AWESOME PROFESSOR!!
This was a great class taught by who should be Professor of the Year. Class was interesting, fun, and relevant. Dr. Breuning really cared about all of us doing well, not just a select few. Also, he was always available. Lectures / discussions were informative and fun. Great Professor and an even greater guy.
One big group project near the end of class that wasn't too bad. Lectures were pretty dry. Decent amount of reading to do but I mostly skimmed through the books and I still did alright.
Overall a really good class. Would have been great if last third of class was not cut short by COVID-19. When it went online it was good but nothing compared to how interesting and fun the in-class part was. If you can take the class from Dr. Breuning you will love it.
Fabulous class, even with covid-19 complications. You will really enjoy Dr. Breuning.
He's a very knowledgeable and funny guy, but it was a little confusing for me. Felt like I should've had some business background before the class, which I didn't. Easy grading, though I have no idea how I actually got an A.
