Peculiar man, class boring at best, but easily passable

He's ok.. he acts like he's tough, but grades come VERY easily.

Show that you WANT an A by giving some effort, and he will TRY to give you one.

Makes every effort to help you get the best grade. If you get below a B, you are stupid

He is the funniest man ever! Go to his office, visit and get to know him. He makes me laugh.

Good times!

Treats everyone like they are complete morons when it comes to English, and at the same time, he's way way too excited by the thought of researching. I don't try in this class, but I maintain a B+ average.

He is by far the most boring teacher I have ever had. He takes attendance so you have to go to class. Basically he hands out dittos, gives us ten minutes to read them, then slowly goes over them in class. Nice guy but so boring!

I had this man for eng 101 over a year ago, i loved him. I still go visit him! he's very nice and funny, and is an easy grader if you just listen to the hints and tips he gives you. He still uses one of my papers as a sample!

For anyone who actually takes writing seriously and wants to be challenged...Dr. Brauch is an excellent professor. He is very smart...yes, he is boring and weird, but he teaches you how to write and how to do research. I'd recommend him for anyone serious about english & research...especially history majors.

He is very excited about writing. Very helpful as well....lots of handouts, however. Prepare to get organized.

English 101. I took this class as a senior, having delayed taking it due to hearing horror stories. I had already had several advanced writing courses, some at another school. This professor is about the best writing teacher around, I believe. His emphasis on research makes his course all the more salient.

Nice guy, a little out there, but pretty funny. He has an odd sense of humor. If you visit him in his office, he is always ready to help. Class was mostly writing, he would give you a topic for your paper if you couldn't find one. Take him if you get the chance.

Easy class to get a B in. He will let you re-turn your paper in for a higher grade. Very helpful and funny

Professor is excellent, a little boring. It is fairly easy to pass, but you have to work to get an A.(it is possible, and rewarding)He is very helpful.He is always in the library to help students with research and papers. He doesn't ask more of you than he does of himself. If you show you are willing to put in the effort he will help all he can.

Dr Brauch is a fantastic teacher. If you attend class and put some effort into your papers, you will pass. Try to get to know him. He is really funny and it never hurts to talk to your professor out of class.

this is not a good prof take ENG 201 with. He requires a lot more papers than most of the others and is extremely boring. grades fairly easy but requires so much work. this class sucked.

This teacher really requires a lot of work throughout the semester, but if you are interested in becoming a better more prepared writer for the remainder of you college experience he is the one to take. The nice thing is that he always gives you chances at revisions.

Eng201 sucks anyways. But it just seems like non-stop work. you dont even have a paper turned in yet and hes teaching the next one. He grades pretty hard. And is picky. But overall no matter which teacher you take for this class your going to hate it they all suck equally. Hes nice and helpful and REALLY passionate...almost too much lol

I loved Prof. Brauch! He is very thorough and clear on his assignments. If you ask him for help he is willing to do just about anything for his students. It is obvious he is very passionate and intelligent. He lets you turn in a revised paper for each assignment so you can always bring your grade up.

Attendance is mandatory, but if you get stuck in an early morning class he will let you go to any of his later sections for credit. You don't have to pay attention in class at all, he is very clear on his handouts what he expects on papers. If you are even a decent writer I would def. recommend Brauch

Masterpiece Literature, for those keeping track. He is a really good professor, its just what he teaches is border-lining the Eng equivalent of Physics or Chem. Do not take any of his classes above Eng 101/201 unless you are and Eng major, you WILL struggle.

If you check up papers with him before they are due and come to class it really isnt that bad. He is a great guy, just some boring lectures once in a while. Very 'to the book' but if you somewhat pay attention is really shouldnt be a problem.

Ok, I have an extreme interest in this subject and not gonna lie, he knows what he's talking about but that DOES NOT mean he's a good teacher. He's unclear concerning assignments, tests, and everything else.

He is a good guy, and a good teacher. You will do well as long as you read and pay attention. He is very clear about what he wants for the most part. I didn't have a positive outlook going in due to ratemyprofessor, but he really isn't that bad. I enjoyed being in his class.

His lectures are boring, but the papers that are assigned aren't too bad. Every paper can be revised and he is extremely quick at grading. Overall, he's a nice guy and is open to helping out his students.

Really, really good teacher. The first couple papers are a crap-shoot, but once you get into the habit of writing his style, you'll get by without a problem. Always allows for revision of papers, and all but spells it out for you. Classes run a few minutes over sometimes, though, so don't plan for any classes across campus right afterwards.

Show up to class, he grades easier if you do, and make an effort to better your papers--I promise it makes a difference. You can slack off and write the paper at the last minute if you're normally a good paper writer, but I don't recommend it. Don't wait until the last day to peer edit, either. Good teacher, kinda dull, but good.

Very dull proffesor. He is very smart and has really good tips for writing paper. He always grades papers fast and is a fairly easy grader. Classes are pretty much going over instructions for paper and you can miss 6 classe without excuses. If you don't have an interest in eng don't pick him as a proffesor!

His lectures are extremely dull, but he's a nice guy. He'll review your paper for you before you turn it in and he's a very fast grader. you'll write a science paper, two opinion papers, a history paper, comparison of two articles, and an art paper. Not a bad class, just be sure to use effort.

Very boring lecture. If you go to class he just reads the handouts. The papers are increasingly difficult. He grades the papers very quickly. He is available to help with papers.

Very Good Professor. He gets students all the information they need and is always ready to help. Allows a revision on all essays and if you fix his corrections, he will raise your grade by one whole letter grade. He also had all of our papers graded two days after we turned them in. Highly recommended.

Dr. Brauch is one of the nicest professors I have ever had. He is more than willing to help and makes himself easily available. He allows revisions on papers and is very considerate while grading. If you go to class and respect him, then he will respect you. He enjoys his job and enjoys helping students succeed in any way possible.

Overall a really nice guy. He gave ample opportunity for students to come to him for help outside of his office hours. However, the papers were difficult and he is a very critical grader. There was also a large workload. If you're taking other difficult classes along with ENG 201 I suggest finding another professor. Otherwise, not the worst choice!

Most of the comments here are pretty accurate. He's a nice guy, but a lot of the other students in my class would disrespect him. He offers a lot of help outside of class for anyone who needs it. He spends a lot of time explaining the assignments and gives examples of the kinds of essays he's looking for. He grades very harshly though.

He is such a sweet man! He is very understanding and often spends a lot of time at the library. He is available if you need him. He is also a very generous grader. The lowest grade he gave out was a C+ and that person's original score was 24/100. I would highly suggest him!

He has to be the most generous professor I have ever had. Everything you need to know is provided on the handouts he gives in class. Three exams that each have two 3-4 pg typed essays due with it and a course essay. Lectures do tend to get boring, but it's a pretty easy class as long as you show up, talk during discussion, and use the handouts.

This class is incredibly boring, but you can literally sit in class and do nothing whilst not getting marked down for attendance. Don't buy the books, you can read them all the night before the quizzes on sparknotes and get an A. Show up and do the study guides and also, pay attention to the questions he discusses the day of quizzes and you'll pass

You have 6 major exams, worth 85% of your grade and 7 in-class essays worth 15% of your grade. Lectures are painfully boring and papers can get fairly tricky. However if you go to him for help, he is super nice and will tell you exactly what you need help on.

I took this professor as an undergrad student. I am now a PhD student and I can honestly say, this professor is the reason I write well. He grades tough, but he gives excellent feedback. He challenged me to begin writing as an academic. I learned more about writing from this professor than any other writing professor I have EVER had.

It's not what class you take, it's who you take it from. Take a class from him.

This class reflects his whole career, so he taught with lots of enthusiasm!! We had to read a book and write 3-4pg paper about once a week which is a lot to keep up with and he grades tough, but he was always available during his office hours and willing to help. Cares about his students and is very nice. Tough, but would recommend.

Dr Brauch's lectures can be repetitive and boring, but he actually has a great sense of humor and he genuinely cares about his students! He is passionate about literature and the books he assigns are interesting. Papers were mostly 3 pages and he allows two rewrites. Would definitely take him again

I enjoyed Dr. Brauch. He did use a lot of packets, and I didn't always feel like I "had" it when I left class, but once I let the material percolate and sat down to write the papers, most of what I needed could be found in the packets. The rest were found in the outside sources for the papers, much of the time. He's really a fair grader.

Older guy with boring lectures. He can be a tough grader, but will help you if you go to his office and will actually get to know you. He actually cares about the students!

HES AWESOME. you can turn in a paper two days late and he won't even care. papers are long but duh, its an english class. he's very easy and allows you to resubmit papers.

He is a decent teacher. The only thing you do in this class is write, which for an English class, makes sense. His citation needs are pretty whack and could use some help. I write my papers while he lectures. All of the papers are your choice of a topic, except the last paper that one is a little rough. Doesn't grade off of his own opinions.
