Ideal because he is passionate,very eclectic, he has studied various world religions throughly in many countries,very compassionate, shows home movies in class, marks very easily for everybody. (I got an 88 when I thought I should have had a 75).Has a lot of prestigious experience. Easiest marker ever.

Comment:

Professor Bryant is great! Interesting material, easy marking on essays, approachable after class. But only sign up for his courses if you're interested in the subject matter. Otherwise it might be a challenge. Also, I don't think he's biased to Easter religions.. that's just where his interest lies.

Comment:

Very nice guy but the lectures are soooo boring and completely irrelevant. Seems to favour Eastern Religions over Western Religions - biased. He is a kind person, however. He takes students of field trips. Assignments are interesting and marking is fair. Easy exams - read the text.

Comment:

He's one of my favorite profs! He's so friendly and easy to approach. Lecs can be a little dry sometimes but it never gets too bad. Has lots of experience with many of the subjects he teaches. Gives you an exam hand out with the questions on it. Great guy! I also hear he makes his own clothes...

Comment:

This guy is so boaring!!! I have no clue what he taught in term, since I fell asleep almost every class. The questions for the test come out of the textbook, so you do not need to pay attention. If you are going to take a class with him, I suggest that you have an XL coffee, and a couple of red bull's before hand!!

Comment:

dr.bryant's lectures do tend to get a little stale after the first 10 minutes, but he seems to be very dedicated to helping students learn the material. topics are interesting. should read the textbook before class otherwise it may be confising figuring out what he is talking about.

Comment:

Prof Bryant is one of the best professors out there. His knowledge of the subject material is so extensive and he has a vast amount of personal experience to back it all up. Not only that but he is extremely helpful and ready to challenge you to step out of your comfort zone. Highly recommended!

Comment:

This prof was terrible. His lectures were mind-numbing and irrelevant to the syllabus! His lectures held little content, they were all about his experience and referencing BS theories like the gender of God, I mean HOW DUMB! About 10% of exams are from the lec. And he gives u the questions b4.

Comment:

Doesn't respond to emails, and doesn't have any office hours. He teaches the class as if it were highschool. If you miss your highschool days take a class with him. Somewhat fair marker. Like high school there are suck ups (first row + crazy lady)and like highschool, he loves the suckups

Not the most verbally exciting lecturer, but it's obvious he's very interested in what he teaches. Very fair tests and a really nice man, will go out of his way to help you understand course material.

Comment:

This course was very interesting. I felt enlightened. The only suggestion I would make is please don't sit on the desk at the front of the class when students are writing their exams and kick your feet back and forth - so disrupting. Can get good mark
