His class was awesome! Rather than throwing a ton of stuff at you that you will forget at the end of the semester, he teaches the basic important stuff that you won't forget. His class will prepare you a lot for settings you will encounter in your professional life. Yes, compared to other MCOM 320 classes, it is a little easier.

Take MCOM from this professor. His lessons are extremely practical and use all real life experiences. He knows what he's talking about. He'll work with you if you have extenuating cir****stances. Very easy to understand. He teaches you exactly what you need to know to get a good grade. He's probably easiest, but you learn the most.

Brother Brunson is a pretty solid teacher with a lot of real world knowledge about business writing. The principles he teaches are still very applicable, even if some of his ideals may be a little dated. Take advantage of the peer grading before you turn in the assignment, he is also willing to look at your papers before you submit them.

Of all the M Comm professors I could have taken this class from, I am glad it was from Warren Brunson. He graded kindly and was always willing to help when it was needed. I will say though, the course content was very confusing to follow, with all the assignments out of order on canvas. Stay ahead of assignments, and the class isn't too bad.

Class does not require much time, but I was severely disappointed with the feedback given on multiple assignments. He took off major points for "long paragraphs," and he encouraged the use of out-dated business terminology. Also, the teaching on effective powerpoint decks is awful and completely contradicts anything I've ever seen a business make.

I'm a math ed major, and I took this class for the advanced written and oral communication credit. I learned a lot of really great, applicable information in this class: grammar, resume dos and don'ts, and email etiquette. There were also many things I was expected to know how to do that I didn't and that was very frustrating.

Professor Brunson is amazing, honestly the best teacher I've had at BYU. He is very open and easy to get a hold of, isn't necessarily easy but he is always available and wants you to succeed. He cares more about learning than annoying class policies like lots of BYU professors do.

Professor Brunson was great. Very easy to communicate with, and none of the assignments were complicated or anything. Do the work and you'll learn and get a decent grade.

It was an online class and MCOM is apparently the same regardless of professor. But I really liked Professor Brunson. I think he is realistic, nice, and gives good quality feedback. As far as MCOM goes, I would highly recommend Professor Brunson.

Brunson is a great guy who's always willing to help. However, the organization of his class made it very difficult to keep up with. The class is divided up into weekly modules. But I quickly found that assignments listed in week 7 module were due during week 4. So you had to constantly be looking weeks ahead to make sure you didn't miss a due date.

Honestly this class was GREAT. I have a lot of hard classes and this class was pretty lax in comparison. I learned a lot, the stuff is really useful, and he totally works with you. You'll learn a good deal on how to improve your grammar. The assignments CAN be fun if you're creative. The best part too is because its online its super flexible!!!

Brunson does a good job. It is the right amount of work for an online class. The grammar exam is the hardest part of the class. Other than the test I really enjoyed what I learned and the homework was not too bad.

Professor Brunson is an awesome guy. The class was great and I learned a lot. He grades pretty generously, but is picky at the same time. Textbook is free (online), and you have lifelong access to the useful things in there. Overall, I felt like I actually learned in this class and wasn't stressed about grades for once.

Professor Brunson is super nice and accommodating. He is also clear, if you talk to him. However, if you go by what he's posted alone, you'll get confused. He's just not great at making Canvas accessible and intuitive. He changes where he puts the grading criteria for each assignment. He just needs to (ironically) organize the content better.

The grammar test was a joke. Questions like choose the most correct or least correct sentence made it extremely difficult despite studying efforts. Tons of busy work, so I spent a lot of time on this class. Loved that Brunson was available via text. Pretty vigorous group project at the end of the semester.

Professor Brunson is amazing. He works hard to help students grasp and apply the material. I procrastinated taking MCOM because I'd heard it's a nightmare, but it really wasn't bad. You should definitely take MCOM with Brunson!

This class was easy to keep up in and easy to get a good grade in. My only disappointment is that I constantly felt unsure of what was going on because canvas was utilized poorly. The modules were confusing. This class would have been 100% better if there had been recorded lectures to go along with content. The book wasn't great.

I have no problem with Professor Brunson, in fact, I thought he was a fair grader. I also liked how he gave thorough feedback on almost every assignment. However, my problem is with the faculty who designed the course. There is way too much busywork! The amount of work you have to do each week makes you lose sight of how great of a course this is.

Professor Brunson is a great person -- super friendly and nice. But he's not a great teacher. After reading the feedback he gave on my papers, it felt like he expected me to read his mind or the feedback contradicted the rubric. For some of the assignments, I had to clue why I got docked points. He made this class harder than it needed to be.
